Dec 25th - Christmas at the botanic Gardens

On Christmas day we were at the Botanic Gardens after visiting our friend at Gleneagles. Not a lot of people. Fresh air. lots of walking space. Good place to relax the mind. But if you are bringing the kids, it is always harsh on the parents aching bodies......





"Whatever you guys have in mind to do or go, I need to eat first....."


"dont you snatch my food!"


"who wants to eat?"
"MEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!"


Going home


"waha, managed to con mummy to carry me....."

We were at Far East Plaza cause the girls needed to use the toilet. I remembered my childhood neighbour has a shop in the basement. It is called Area 51. Kayzia loves the place! why? can do airbrush tatoo mah, happy loh.

Kayzia, by the time you have grown up. Take a look at all your tatoos. You cannot say to daddy that I never let you do tatoo. You asked me back then and I said yes, only for this time in your life. And you agreed that you will never do again.

Kieran, I know you didnt ask me about doing tatoo, in fact you were too scared to go near the machine. I also gave you the chance, I asked if you wanted and you said no. And you also agreed that you will never have one.

Mum is the witness. Case closed.

25th Nov 2007: Trip to Manchester United.

More boring pictures for most of you.
We went to Old Trafford the next day, yes, I got Oma (Die Hard Liverpool Fan) to come along. I even got him to pay for the stadium tour! Yeah. In the beginning of the tour, the guide asked if any of us support other clubs, how can I miss this opportunity. Oma declared he is a Liverpool fan and the crowd went.... boooooooo... hahaha, it was fun for me....

Guide:"So who supports Liverpool?"

Nov 24th 2007- Trip to Manchester

Was too lazy to do anything. So now I blog backtracking.
Since I so bored, I decided to take a trip to UK to see my favourite team, Manchester United. You must be thinking, wow, you very rich hor? suka suka, go UK watch football? Rich issit? No lah. Yearly my company (SIA Engg Company) gives us one free ticket to travel (return, of course) anywhere in the world as long as SIA flies there(wondered if they are planning to fly up to the moon in the future!). My 2006 ticket expires by 2007.Coincidently my friend Oma (SIA cabin crew) had a flight to Manchester in Nov. Got free air ticket, got free 4 stars hotel stay in Hilton, the football club replied that they will reserved 2 tickets for me, and Mel is supportive of me going.... what else can I asked for.

Manchester was cold man, like at sub cheero.... We touched down, took a nap and off we go! The game was played in Bolton, which is 20mins away from where we stayed. Like what I told Oma, machiam from Cityhall to Simei, very fast one lah. U can understand Oma’s reluctance as he is a Liverpool fan(Liverpool was playing away in Newcastle, very far, so no choice but to follow me). We had a great time.
Why so short? Cause Man U lost to Bolton 1-0! The last time this happened was like many years ago! Needless to say, Oma was screaming the whole time and Jason in Singapore asked me to buy him a Bolton jersey. Pure torture.

Anyway, I really enjoyed myself.
Airticket: free.
Lodging :free.
Football ticket: 30pounds, which is cheap because I got it from the club not black market(abt 200pounds for one!)
Even though Man U lost, currently we are leading Arsenal on goal different and have a game in hand! Liverpool? smell no smoke....Come on Man U!


Outside Manchester Airport...cold cold....


Steven and Oma, on our way to Bolton, tututrain.....

Penang - Wedding and yumseng!

One of the reasons for us to go up Penang was to attend my friend's wedding. I worked with the penang church for about 6 months in 1998 or 99? Anyway i had lots of fun (plus lots of good food) and made many good friends. One of them(Jason) is currently staying at my place in Singapore. Will scan a picture of the couple's wedding picture and post it here soon. Thank God for freddy and cheewan(this one is woman, not the tan chee wan in our church), they came to pick us up from the hotel to the restaurant in mainland Penang. we took the ferry, it was fun for everyone. You only need to pay for enterance into Penang Island, going out by ferry is free. You should try it if you have the chance. cheap cheap also. Anyway, wedding in Malaysia is awesome man. The food is great and atmosphere like a big family gathering. I heard kala ok is a must. Everyone had a good time. You dun see much of kieran cause he scared of yumseng(cheering for the wedding couple). I took him out for a walk most of the time. We recorded yumseng from kayzia, take a look.

Penang 2007

Hi everyone, sorry for the silent. I have being busy with a couple of things. OK, I am lazy, I slacked. Anyway, I shall start with my Penang trip with the Koppe family. Not laupei (father in hokkien), but Oma, Michelle and Marteen. We decided to drive up Penang. Ok, to be precise, Oma and Michelle drove us there. I useless, no license. Total there were 4 adults and 3 kids. The Foos family slept over at Koppe’s house and we set off at about 7plus in the morning from checkpoint. The journey was long but we were ready. Parents if you are thinking of traveling long distance with the kids. You need a few things. A big car is a must! We were in a MPV. Make sure there is some sort of entertainment. In this car, there is a built in screen and 2 extra DVD players for the 2 kids. There is even a DVD charge at the back seat so that the kids can take turn to charge and watch the cartoons at the same time. We also have 4-5 extra soft cushions for the kids to sleep on. Blanket also. Last but not least, lots of snack to keep the drivers awake (Actually I took the most!). The ride was smooth and we reached Holiday Inn (Great hotel!) at 5pm.We had many breaks and kids were not cranky (Very important, otherwise whole holiday gone). As you can see the kids were all ready to play!
