Simple Life

My life is quite plain. I go to work. Send my child to school. In the evening I go back and fetch my child. All the same the one whole week. After the holidays, my hubby said we need to slow down on spending and start to keep money again. Sometimes we tend to overspent during holidays. But it's okay. We can just spend these few months at home watching television and relax. But most of the time, we watch cartoon. Although we don't earn that much but for our simple life there's nothing more I could ask for my family except good health and happiness ever after. I sometimes wonder if I can ever go oversea like to London or New York. Just a dream but, it's okay if I can't. Just a dream. I can always watch these two countries in the television.

Words I like

1. I like you.
2. You have the nicest way of brightening up a day.
3. A friend is someone who make you happy and also make you angry.
4. May success and happiness crown your future.
5. Life was meant to be lived and curiosity must be kept alive. One must never, whatever reason turn his back on life.
6. The story of a dove is not important. What is important is that, one is capable of LOVE.
7. No one can really pull you up very high, you lose your grip on the rope. But - on your own two feet, you can climb mountains.
8. Happy go naughty.
9. You enjoy with what you have now, you can always be happy.
10. Try before you cry, but don't try after you cries.
11. Those who wish to sing, always find a song.

All these are from my friends who wrote in my autograph in my school days. Such a memory. That was more than 10 years ago.

Milk and Lactose intolerance

I love milk. I swear I do, but I just can't tolerate the toilet rush afterwards. I did buy myself milk with low lactose ( not sure low or without ) but I still get the diarrhoea. At some moments it became so tiring and and I am always in a rush.

My teeeth are not feeling comfortable and my own diagnosis is that I need to consume milk for calcium. Yes, my teeth sometimes felt like they are going to depart from my mouth all together and I just can't imagine myself toothless. You are right, I am not a doctor to make my own diagnosis. Do obeses experience osteoporosis since they look like a well 'nutri' ous people, otherwise they wouldn't gain so much weight.

Anybody out there, if you have any suggestion, please drop it down, okay. It might help me and even others.

Fun Fair

Hey? There's a fun fair in town. I went with my kid yesterday. I really adore her driving the bumper car. She's good and sharp. She's only four years old. I am really proud of her. It's not that I am teaching her to be so playful but I believe that every children or toddler have the right to become kids.

I love to see her laugh her heart out. I watched her on the rides and finally we make sand arts. Oh! I really thought she had had enough for the day.

It took her like storm when her father said, " Okay, baby, time's up. " Oh, she pulled a long face and said it's not time yet. Our way back was filled with her cry and shouts. But, when we reached home, she was different. Maybe it was just the way my hubby took her by surprise.

By the way, the fun fair is the mobile type with not more than 10 rides, bumper car, ferris wheel, ghost house and games. No entrance fee and I token is only RM2.00 1 token per ride.

National Zoo ( Zoo Negara ) Malaysia

Last week, I had a visit to the zoo with my family. I paid the visit in the afternoon. We arrived around 2.00pm because the shows are at 3.00pm.

Unfortunately, the weather doesn't agree with us. As we entered the main entrance the sky changes colour to dark. It's going to be a heavy rain, I thought. We decided to take the slow train, with it's new look. Comfortable than my last visit. The transport looks new.

The driver informed us that the transport is not under the zoo management but by other company ( something to do with the NGOs - something like that ). A few minutes later, it rained, so we finished our journey in the zoo on the train. Maybe next time. However, I have few photos taken during my last visit to the zoo, last year. I like visiting the zoo. It relaxes my mind from the routine life.

Children abuse and neglegance

Nowadays, we listen to so many news about children abuse and neglegance. The news are sometimes so unbearable to listen to but it's the fact we have to swallow. Why are children being treated this way? Aren't they created to make us humans survive through times and also a prove of two bonding humans in love?

Children who are brought up properly will grow into well behaved adults. So, I think to reduce this matter, we must start to bring up our child the traditional way. Love your child since they are born. Give them all the attention and love you are determined to give and never hesitate a disciplinary manner if you have to. A proper lesson is a good reminder to a child.

At nights always remember to whisper in their ears so that it will stick to their mind. Tell them how you love them, what you expect them to be and what are their plans for tomorrow. This way, they will wake up the other day, fully motivated and know what to do with the rest of the day. Sometimes, they are actually in a blank, don't know what to do, but if you get everything organised, they will find their life meaningful and appreciated.

No matter how smart or slow your child are, please love them the same. If everyone are smart, who will do the physical jobs, and if everyone aren't smart in their studies, who will do the governance? So, everyone are special in their own ways.

If you need to pinch your child in the name of disciplining, pinch lightly , remember to ask for forginess later on and explain why you did it. Again, remember, love your child as you love yourself as they are our reflection and continuing generation. Never hurt them.

Petrosains, KLCC, Kuala Lumpur

I have been to this spot and of course everything are about science plus a bit of geography and history. I went there last week with my hubby, daughter, mother and aunty. As it was my first time, I didn't expect it to be a tiring experience for my mother and aunty.

The most scary part for them are entering the black and dark capsule. The beginning journey was dark that my mother actually got shocked and screamed for light. I switched on my digital camera and handphone for light. Then, the capsule move upwards with us facing forward while climbing. And they both clinged to each other. When we finally went down the capsule for a walking journey, it was quite long and cold. We didn't standby for the cold.

We enjoy the globe of music most of all. When you put the trunk at certain part of the globe, you will get to hear the songs and language they speak. Interesting inspite of all the negatives I mention. Actually if you come well prepared and healthy, the experience should be memorable. Ha! Ha! Beware, Petrosains. I am coming soon for a better view this time around.

So if you're planning to go to Petrosains, with your aging mother and small kids, please keep them warm, bring some food and water. It's a really long journey for them. We didn't really experienced much but skipped just to finished the journey. I will go there again someday with preparations of course.

To Petrosains, please acknowledge your visitors. At least let them be prepared with full stomach and why not rent sweaters for the old? Just a suggestion. To those out there who got families from the village, why not take them here, for a new atmosphere.

Allergic Reaction

Allergic. Have you got foods or environments that can cause discomfort to your total wellness in a minute? Well, that's called allergic reaction. I wasn't born that way, mind you. I started showing it in my early 20's.

The first time I noticed it was after a picnic near a river. I actually got bitten or maybe sucked by a slug. After having full stomach, the slug actually shrugged itself from me. Sorry if I explain it the wrong way. I only saw it after it got full stomach. The site never stop bleeding and my body became so itchy. My limbs got warm and itchy. Even my head was so itchy that I can't bear it. Later, my body swollen including my lips and nose. Maybe, I look like Shrek but it wasn't filmed yet at that time.

I was admitted in ward for three days following a painful drip. I said to myself that I wouldn't go near the river again but that was only a year. I later began experiencing a few series of allergic reactions. Sometimes I was given an injection because I began to look like a balloon. Then one historical day, I was given a very effective treatment. A doctor gave me an a drip and hey, it's been 6 years since my last allergic reaction. So, it was just the right time and treatment to solve the misery ( not really as bad as that, but a day of sickness is too hard to compare to a week of healthiness , believe me ). Thanks to that doctor I can now go to any dusty supermarket and savour seafoods. That's why I respect doctors. They study hard, they earn a lot but back to basics, it's really about responsibility. The wages is a mean to earn a living to satisfy self and family needs.

This flower image was taken in Cameron Highlands during my holiday with my mother, aunty, daughter, sister and hubby. The night we spent there was so memorable to me. It was so comfortable. My skin felt so nice, no need to depend on the fan or a blanket either. I was so overjoyed I didn't care about taking more photos. Maybe next time.

Happiness

Happiness is not just a phrase,
You can't buy it',
You can't just grab and take it away,
You can't just take it for granted,
It's not a physical thing,
You wouldn't know it's there,
Unless you feel it,
Deep inside.

Happiness is a smile in the face,
A reluctant heart,
With a willing to share,
To forgive and to forget,
To share the burdens and diminish it,
Never hesitate to give a helping hand,
Soft as cotton and cooling as silk,
That's what happiness is all about.

From me, from the heart.

Madagascar

My daughter really loves the cartoon movie Madagascar. She kept watching it nearly every week now. Last year she watches it every single day. The director of this movie really did his job well.

But, she also loves Upin and Ipin who speaks her mother tongue. Upin and Ipin cartoon movie is produced by our local production company, Les' Copaque. If you haven't watch it, I'm telling you, you wouldn't regret watching it especially if you have got kids at home. I as an adult actually enjoy it too.

The story is so original and you can watch it with every single family member. The characters are also so naive and innocent, you will forget about the noisy city life. Upin and Ipin are two little boys who look alike. Buy to appreciate it.

Hotel Plaza - friendly

I spent a night in Hotel Plaza, Kuala Lumpur last weekend. The hotel as usual is satisfactory. I had many returned visits to this hotel. The room is good, clean and big. The hospitality is a memory whether you are a tourist or just a domestic traveller. I notice that some hotel worker only give ' extra ' to tourist. But never the receptionists. It's different in this hotel.

I would like to thank those friendly staffs. Even though we are just a simple traveller, they still recognised us as their visitors and customers. Thanks a lot. I had a very nice stay in this hotel.

Nagoya

Thanks to Nagoya textile for the RM 2.00/metre and RM 2.50/metre sale this week. Me, my mother and my aunty bought quite a lot of those. The quality is good and even though quite undated but you gave us the opportunity to buy something with quality cheaper. So, everyone can wear textiles from your company.

I will drop by Nagoya again when I visit Kuala Lumpur. I hope you will keep up giving ' true ' sales to your customer. Chayo, Nagoya! Arigato hait!

A creepy get-away

Creepy?

We were on a just want to get-away from everyday routine that day. Without any plans whatsoever we went for a hotel or resort hunt. I ended up in a resort somewhere in Cherating. I wouldn't want to name the resort. The name was eyecatching. Per night is RM 120.00 since it's a weekday.

When we entered the room I was surprised to find that the bathroom's door is only half of it. So, you're exposed. I asked my hubby for a better room which should complify the room rate. The receptionist said there is only one other room left and they had never again give the room to any other customers. My hubby enquire whether it's haunted but they simply laugh at him and gave him the keys. My hubby mentioned these only after we check-out.

Actually this new room was also in a bad condition with vey old matresses that I can feel it actually wrecked in my every move that I kept still till morning. The bathroom door is three quarter wrecked than the previous. The room also felt creepy that I stay awoke all night.

The swimming pool was orange in colour, you can guess why. We check out early in the morning and this should be our first and the last. In fulfilling my hobby on adventure this is the worst resort hotel I have been to in my country, Malaysia. I have been to small budget hotels but they are still better.
