Farewell 2009, welcome 2010

Eve of New year...
A crossing between past and future...
The now....

It's that time again when ppl start to reflect on their achievement
in the past...and set new goals for the future...
New resolution...
but what about the old ones?
Have they been achieved?

Anywho...the new year brings in more responsibility and
i hope that i can carry them out with
excellence...

There are some new development i should say
in school:
1. Kak Ti will become KB in SM Agama KK
2. Puaka is no longer in school
3. Cikgu man will most prolly take Puaka's place
4. I am in the Pengurusan AJK (courtesy of my new title GC)
5. The names of the classes have been changed (and God...
i can't remember them)

Apart from that, everything seem normal....
people still try not to accept responsibility given...
excuses, excuse, excuses...

PMR result for English only increased by 0.9%
which is too low an increase...
arghhh...what should i do...
to make a drastic increase?
Teachers are so stubborn....they refuse to try new methods...

So, what are my new resolution?
1. To change the attitude of the English teachers to be more dynamic
2. To push the teachers so they will push the students to work harder...
3. To push the panel forward to achieve more than last year...

argh......
so fake....these are not new....
i had these for like 3 years now...
and this is my fourth...

But...i shall try harder....
and hopefully God will finally grant us our prayers....

Waiting for our flight...

Woke up early this morning....
damn...last night didnt get a good night sleep in Mantin due
to the cold and mosquitoes...
Chin had it worse....padan muka....
Anyway...was ready by 6 am and headed straight to Sis-in-law
house...
went out for breakfast for a while...
as usual Chin blamed me for being late but
hello...he forgot to inform me he wanted breakfast last night...
usually we grab a bite at LCCT...
So...yeah...
he thought i have telepathic powers to read his mind...
Anyway...now we're waiting to board...
can't wait to go back....
It'll be a ood hols...
Merry xmas...

Off to Sarawak 2mw...

We'll be leaving for Kuching tomorrow ...
and so today we're spending the night in Mantin
so Chin's bro-in-law can send us to LCCT in the morning...

Anyay...we sent Matahari off to my friend's house just now...
huhuhu...i'm going to miss that little squirrel of mine...
he looked bewildered just now...
then he was awfully quiet before we left...
pretending to be sleeping...
when i took him out to say a few words of
goodbye..
he refused to look at me...at us...
pretending to be fast asleep...
huhuhu....another symptom that he's sulking...at me...
he look kinda sad...
I'm gonna miss him...
even tho he had been very naughty these past weeks but
well...he made me laugh...
argh...six days of not seeing him and he's
in a stranger's house...
i just hope he'll behave...

Past update...Parents and nieces trip to Malacca...

My nieces were so excited when knowing
that they would be going to Malacca...
so they mentioned some of the places they wanted to visit...
like mini malaysia, zoo air keruh, A Famosa...
Yeap... we only covered a bit of that...
we went to Banda Hilir...
Jonker Street...my father loved it since it has many
antique shops...and quaint looking...
we had cendol there...the original nyonya cendol...
then we went looking around...
bought myself beads accessories and my mom
surprisingly bought for herself too...
hmm...
then we went to Dataran Pahlawan so my mom
could find a place to sit...
then we went to Christ Church....there was no flower there as
i think they were replanting...
anyway...took the two kids to the museum....
then we walked all the way up to A Famosa...
The kids were so happy...
on the way looking for food we stopped by
the Maritime museum...
which i had never visited...
the after dinner we went to the Eye of Malaysia...Malacca...
Luckily there was a holiday promo so the ride
was cheap...
RM5 for kids and RM10 adult while senior citizen RM8.
My mom didn't dare to go up...
the kids were scared at irst as my dad kept
scaring them but luckily they
were brave enough to go up...
and weee......
what a ride...
6 times...round and round...which was petty fun....
it was quite late by the time we got down so we
headed home after that...
thought of bringing my mom up but then...
the drive home was one and a half hour
and Chin had a headache...
so yeah....
It was memorable for the kids tho...

Plaster off...yay...

Today was my appointment with Dr. Tang
to take off the plaster from my back...
he said it's taking the stitch off...but there's no stitches apparently
nowadays...
it's more likely taking the plaster off and spray the wound with
water proof plaster...
Thank God...i hated the feeling of that bandage sticking to my back...
like an alien that's stick to me and refuse to let go...
parasite....ahahhahaha...
We waited for almost an hour before the good Dr came..
he was still wearing his green scrub...
straight from surgery i guess...
so he just tore the plaster off and then sprayed it...
and then described to me what to be done if the
stapler like stuff come off...
my hubby is supposed to take it off once it comes off by itself...
Yeap...have taken some photos of the before and after
thingy...kinda gross...
i still feel like there's a lump there...
or maybe it is just my eyes...
Anyway...there is still slight pain...soreness i guess...
but the parasite feeling is gone...
It'll take a while for it to be completely heeled...
but i can't wait to see it...
i can lean properly now...it's not that lopsided lean...
like there's a blob there...
now...it's a real lean....

Minor surgery yesterday...

I am suppoded to update on the latest happening
but life had been busy for a while
and anyway...my nieces kept conquering the
net so....i just let them have their way...

Anyway...the day after they left...i had a minor surgery...
in KPJ to remove the fatty lump in my
shoulder blade...

We went there early in the morning...
for admission....
as in checked in to the hospital...
then...by 8.30 i was wheeled in OT..
which was pretty cold..
It makes me wonder why do they have to make
the room so very cold..
i wasn't nervous like the first time...
but the cold relly got to me...
i was shivering...
by the time the tubes were inserted into my vein...
but the effect of the anesthetic was
pretty quick...
i was out within seconds...
was having a pretty nice dream through the surgery
actually...
and was rudely woken up at the end of it...
hmmm...now i've forgotten what it was...

i felt a kind of heaviness at my shoulder blade area...
it's the pain but i could't feel it yet because of the
painkiller or the numbness..
but i did feel sore though...
then after swallowing one painkiller...
wallah....i don't even feel the pain...
just sort of stiff...and sore...
The good doc came to inspect his handy work at 4pm and
i requested to be discharged that evening...
i don't think i will get a good night sleep there considering
my noisy neighbour in the next bed...
who kept a sort of feast going on...
i thought she was the one who was sick but
apparently it was her mum...
anyway..the hospital would be way too cold at night...
and i miss my soft bed...
I was still abit dizzy from the effect of the anesthetic..
but well...i insist on going home...

The fat was a big blob of fat...like chicken fat according to Chin...
but i didn't get a good look since the nurses were busy
taking my blood pressure reading and stuff...
But as of today...
i'm still taking the pill so i don't really feel the pain...
all i can say is i feel sore...
that's it...

A Dim Sum breakfast in Nilai...

A dim sum breakfast...
I love dim sum...
and one of the best and cheap dim sum breakfast
can be enjoyed in Nilai...
Sister-in-law's treat today...

Papak was slightly annoying when he said
pu hao yee se....they always give us
a treat when my parents are here...
but well...
we do give them a treat in return when all
the family are back in Mantin...
so..this is family after all...

Anyway...the kids enjoyed the breakfast...
Akim was so full...
Yaya was not so adventurous though...
but she's a bit cautious....
afraid that she might suffer from stomachache...

After breakfast, we went to Nilai 3...
mainly for mamak and papak to shop...
usually there is a bargain or sale there...
Unfortunately...mamak got stomachache and the
trip had to be cut short...
The girlie2 shoes are quite cheap considering there
is a 50% off...
but too bad there was no size for Sasa...

Papak was not happy when we had to go back...
It was rather inconsiderate i feel...
considering that mamak has not been feeling well
since she arrived here...
and since papak did not manage to shop for anything safe
a jersey for Baby...
he kept blaming mamak for it...
Hmmm....
as if we are not going to bring them there again...
and well...
he even suggested that we rent Mr Yee's mpv
and drive to Malacca on Tuesday when
Chin will be in school on duty...
oh yes he can drive but here is not Kuching
and he's not young...
and Mr Yee...he's our neighbour and
we don't really know him well enough...

Anyway...we went to the Pasar Malam in Mantin
at 5.30 and got quite a bargain there instead...
Not a bad day after all...

KL trip with parents and nieces...

Wednesday outing...
we went KL...
Kim and Sasa were so excited....
and kept asking about the distance...and
how far it is...
and how long would it take...etc...etc...
the car was a tight fit but we managed somehow...

First stop was the Curve...
We had lunch there and then walk around looking at the Xmas
decoration and took photos...

Then on the way back we went to The Science Centre PSN)
in Mont Kiara...
It was a really good experience for the girls...
The entrance was free...
and it was slightly different from my last trip.

My nieces were so excited...
There was the aquarium at the entrance arch way...
with really big fish...
Then there was the science discovery section
where they got to try some of the gadgets and read
on how they work...

Then, there was the Science show at 4 pm...
and bothe of them got to participate...
Sasa got to do the inertia experiment...
whereby she had to swing a cup of water...
real fast and not a single drop fell splashed on her...
Kim got to blow a balloon...
and she asked Sasa to come up and poke it...

After PSN, we went to KL Tower...
Entrance fees were quite expensive...
Senior citizens and children paid RM28 and adult RM38.
Sasa was nervous...as she thougth it was open space up there...
My mom didnt want to go up when she discovered that
i did not go up initially...
so finally...all of us went up...
The view was spectacular from up there...
Tho yesterday was cloudy and a bit hazy...
But the night lights were breathtaking...
We came down at 7 sumthing...
and complimentary to the tickets...
there was the ticket for pony ride...
Since we adult weigh more than the minimum weight,
the 2 of them got to do 3 rides each...
woweee....

After KL tower, we went for dinner in KLCC and then
photo taking...inside at the xmas deco and then outside
in the park...
the two girls were over the moon...
ahhh...wat a day...

Doing nothing but enjoyimg every moment of it...today...

We didn't go anywhere today...since yesterday's trip
was quite tiring for my mom...
but i decided to bring my two nieces to Jusco...
We sneaked out of the house...
since we didn't want Uncle Chin to know...
that the girls were having a whale of a time...
we tiptoed quietly out after informing the grandparents...

We went to the Popular first...
Kim and Shasha got themselves books to read...
then we went to look for earring for Shasha
but couldnt find any...
so we look for bargain sneakers for the girls...
but again there wasnt any good bargain...
so the next thing we looked for was a purse for Kim..
we found this one shop with
pretty kewl purses on sale...
so she got herself an RM10 purse after discount...
I got myself an RM10 electric blue coin purse...
When we stepped out of the shop...
Kim lifted up her loot, smiled and said...
Ahhhh...this is what shopping is about....

Then we went to the much awaited Secret Recepe
visit...
we ordered 1 slice of chocolate indulgence
and indulged all we wanted...
wallah...it came with a complimentary cup of tea...

It took all of our self restraint to not buy another
slice of sinfully delicious cheese cake...
since good things do come in small portion...
Instead...we went to Big Apple Doughnut
and bought 2 doughnuts...
and sat there enjoying every bite of the soft delicious
doughnut....
After that...we strolled back to the car and drove home...
What a wonderful time....
just girls going out enjoying ourselves...
eating and laughing....
and shopping...
Ahhh...purrrrrfect...
