If you read my facebook status today, you’d probably know that I had a *showdown* with the traffic police this morning. YES!!! I got really cheesed off with that fella I beh tahan, I wind down the window and showdown with him.

So what happened? Here’s what happened…

I left the house at 745am, after feeding both my kids with medicine, and myself already like half dead (have to see doctor later). Was on my way to send Faythe to school, as usual, I’ll take the road from Sea Park, then turn to Sea Park Market, then go down all the way near the ferrari showroom that road.

The jam was unexpected…then I took a left turn at the Guocera junction and head towards Rothmans roundabout.

Again it’s bumper to bumper…and slowly as the car was moving, I look at my watch, it’s already 8:10am. Late!! Anyway, jalan only lah right…

I already can see that gemuk-traffic police standing in front diverting traffic (seriously, I think he’s a nuisance, cause when he’s not around, the traffic is so smooth).

So all the cars start moving, then when it was right at the time I was suppose to turn out, he stopped me.

I looked at him and he stared at me…Then I looked right, there’s no traffic, so I attempt to go forward to sneak out..Yes I’m not a very good driver. Then he stare at me and gave me a hand signal, ask me wait…

I mengamuk already..F U lah…that side no traffic, why you stop me..so I show my *apalah* hand sign (not middle finger OK)

Then he show me his *apalah* hand sign to me….then I point my hand to Faythe…trying to tell him I’m so so so late!!! He ignored, still stand in front of my car…so I no choice, wait lah..takkan want to bang him right.

But other side cars not many…so I honked…he stared at me…

Then I beh tahan, so I reverse and try to go left to go out then turn into right…and that moment i reverse and move left…he also move left and I almost bang into him…

Then he stared at me again and I also stare at him with my fiery eyes (wearing my sunglasses)

Finally, he had no choice, he just walk to the side, so I start to get ready to move…And you know what???

He came right next to my car and bang bang bang my door!! F…what the hell he wants, so I wind down my window.

Jasmine: Apa mau?
Polis: Tak boleh tunggu kah? Orang semua nak lalu..traffic jam.
Jasmine: Encik, tadi traffic mana ada, kereta pun tak ada, kenapa awak tak kasi saya lalu?
Polis: LDP sana jam teruk, saya kasi orang lalu…
Jasmine: Macam lah saya dari sini tak jam…itu jam sudah sampai belakang sana…waving my hand showing him that the jam is so far behind
Polis: Saya tau, tapi LDP sana sangat jam..
Jasmine: SO!!! Tiap tiap hari awak berdiri sini pun jam, bila awak tak ada sini, jam tak ada…buat apa awak berdiri sini?
Polis: Stunned…and he mumbled himself…then he said, “Jalan jalan”
Jasmine: Yalah…you berdiri sini tengok, kalau u tak divert traffic, tengok ada jam atau tidak…

Then I wind my window and left him there mumbling to himself and I left the incidental roundabout :P.

I’ve always been so cheesed with them every morning. Because of them, the traffic outside my house is so jam…and I’ve always been tempted to scold that fella..but never did of course.

So to avoid the jam, I had to use the backway to get out and go thru Sea Park then thru Rothmans roundabout..and this police every morning also standing there and today he really *liu hei ngo pah foh*.

I really don’t see they serve any purpose. Cause if they are not around, the traffic is much better, no jam at all!!!

They better just go and catch criminals rather that divert traffic without any cow sense.

…updating their FB/blog about their kids going to school.

But what about me?

I’m busy nursing my soon to be developed Sore Throat O.o.

I’m busy planning for my next trip…..yikes, I thought I just swore to myself that I’m not going to travel till after CNY, looks like there’s a change. And I’ll be away for 2 weeks!!

I’m busy planning for Faythe’s birthday, which is tomorrow!!

And yippie….my kids are still on holiday, officially starting school next week, phew…

Boy I’m glad Mr. Hon is back for a week to keep the kids entertained

I hope I have chance to update the blog tomorrow since it’s Faythe’s birthday. In case I don’t, happy birthday my lil princess.

I don’t know when is the next time I’d be blogging. Maybe 2 days from now, maybe next year.

We are leaving today for Vietnam and will be spending our Christmas & New Year there.

Here’s wishing everyone a Merry X’mas & Happy New Year.

No photo for this post, my FTP screwed up :(. Not only my FTP, but my Linksys router seems to be acting up recently. Or maybe it’s time for me to upgrade my broadband hmm….

I can’t believe that another 2 weeks has gone and I haven’t got time to update the blog since I came back from Jakarta. And you know what, I’m travelling again next week :|.  Seriously, all these travelling drives me nuts: packing & unpacking, changing of money, away from the kids, all the prep work I have to do in office, and the list goes on….

Even if I travel for leisure (which we just did last week for 3 days), I’m so afraid, cause when I came back, I had to clear almost 400 emails, which explains why I’m still in office NOW!! Clearing up my mailbox, 1GB also letup..kanasai betul.

Daddy has came back and gone back to VN…Life goes back to normal after this, with photoshoots in between the weekends. Great that Dec we only work 4 days for almost every week, at least got a breakkie.

Kids started their school holiday this week, they had their school party last Friday, I haven’t even download the photos from the camera :(.

Not forgetting, my ever “so-good” princess cambodia everyday comes and tell me:

• I thought today no bla bla bla
• I thought madam bla bla bla
• I forgot bla bla bla….
• I no see bla bla bla…
• Not me bla bla bla…..

Until I got so fedup, I tell her why not today you thought you are a princess, so today you don’t need to work? OR why not today I forgot you are my maid, so u better get out of my house since I don’t know you? Memang vomit blood. She had a good lecture fr me over the weekend cause she actually left used pad in one of the bag, together with her some food and children’s clothes which she intended to bring to MIL house…..WTF!!! Really adds up to the stress level.

There’s gonna be a string of paid post coming up, as I’m clearing some backlogs, please bear with me. I’m trying to post something up sometime this week hopefully.

Year end, we will be going over to Vietnam to celebrate Christmas & New Year there…of course, I packed in 2 days of work at Vietnam as well, since I’m managing Vietnam.

Till I update the blog again……here’s a photo that has nothing to do with this post, but I thought it’d be nice to have a photo posted instead of just putting in text for this post (Photographer BLOG Syndrome - every post must have photo LOL).

Vyktore: Pretending to be Bob Builder. This lil boy now is a chatter box. He talks non stop and speaks out loud and clear.

Faythe: Doing a jump shot for me on one of those days that she’s in the mood for some photos. She’s grown so much and turning 5 in Jan. Can’t believe how time flies. She’s very tall as well, I’m getting worried if she’s gonna be taller than me :|.

Yes, I still have 1 more post on Phuket architecture & shophouses which I’ve yet to post it up. I’ll be pretty busy for the coming 2wks.

Firstly, I’ll be travelling next week, next month & month after for both work & leisure. Sigh…bad planning, all my travel plans cramped up in 3 months!!

Then, TwoPixels Photography is celebrating their 1st Anniversary with some goodies for all existing & potential customers. We are giving away FREE SHOOTS!! So watch that space in November :).This means alot of preparation work needs to be done as well.

So here’s a sneak peek of Sino-Portugese Buildings @ Phuket, Soi Romanee Street. Yum yum….

This year during Mooncake Festival, my hubby bought a box of Mooncake, Lemon Flavour from Tai Thong (has to be them, cause they claim they are the 1st introducing such flavour). So we happily polished off the whole box of mooncake on Sunday night at Port Dickson, but left 2 pieces. My maid put it in the fridge.

Yesterday night (wednesday), I took the 2 pieces out, thinking that I wanted to finish it off. I left it on my dining table so that it softens before I could eat it. At abour 9pm+, I started to savour the last 2 pieces of mooncake. As I was chewing away the 1st piece, I could still taste the lemony taste in it. Then comes the 2nd piece, as I chew, I felt something hard. Then I chew harder, and then I felt something poking my tongue.

Some of you might have noticed that this lil blog of mine been:

1. Spotting a few viruses here n there for the pass month
2. Loading particularly slow
3. Comments not able to load

And probably a whole long list of issues…no thanks to my ex-service provider, Netonboard.

When I first spotted the virus, together with Dinah, we notify or host, but they didn’t do a good job and the virus came back.

The one thing that really P-I-S-S-E-D me (us) off was that they even had the guts to ask us to upgrade to 2 yrs package, so that they can migrate us to another server. WTF…kinda answer is this.

To cut the crap shot, I’ve (we) finally decided to ask Netonboard to fly kite jauh jauh…and we’ve moved to Exabytes.Yah..I moved mine on Thursday, then Dinah also did the same LOL…

After the move, there were some hiccups over at my blog, some of the folders permission went a bit cranky, but rest assure that it’s all over and done.

Some people also told me that Exabyte has their problems too…lets hope I don’t get another virus issue from them. So far I’m pretty pleased with their support.

Tonight as I was sitting in front of my PC blog hopping, Lawrence came and told me that there’s water rationing.

Then he reminded me about this email my colleague sent out last week about water disruption throughout Malaysia. So I thought oo, could be our turn today. But I didn’t recall reading my area affected in that email.

Anyway, so off I went to try dig some info from our dearest Google.

I look for water rationing and it didn’t provide much info, hence I thought, might as well try Syabas.

Guess what, Syabas is on Twitter!! This is really cool!!

And to add more coolness to this, they actually twit about their water disruption on twitter!! ROCKS totally!!

It’s very rare that our service provider are on twitter announcing disruption. If you expect this from screamyx, I bet you will never get it, cause to them they are never down, only your line has problem :P. Not that I use screamyx, but I’ve heard enough complains about them.

And I did a Ctrl+F (Find function) and tadaa…here’s what I found. Strike lottery also not that tepat LOL.

(this is Frank, full time marathon runner)

Frank invited me for Durian Buffet @ SS2. It took me a while to decide, since I had to bring the kids along and the place where we eat the durians are not very child proof (by the roadside). But then again, my temptation for durians need to be satisfied. Hence we went. I took Vyktore & Faythe along, and Lawrence & my brother went along too.

Met Frank, William & Andrew at SS2 by 9pm and boy, that place was packed to the brim. We could hardly find a seat and most of the stalls told us the buffet has finished. So we need to settle ourselves with ala carte (select the type and get them open up and serve you).

We only had 4 (2D24, 2Udang Merah) and that’s it for us. Prefer the D24. No more Raja Kunyit :(. Here are some of the photos taken. Only Faythe had some durians, Vyktore refused to try, though I vaguely remember that he used to love them when he was younger.

Andrew - busy eating & sms-ing

Faythe - refuse to hold the durian, but wants to eat

William - so fear the durian will slip off, had to hold with 2 hands

Lawrence - deep in thoughts, looks like the durian expert

Vyktore - only drank water and keep telling us “Want go home”

King of all Fruits

No we didn’t eat that much, just a photo. And that’s Faythe, D-R-U-G-G-E-D by durian LOL

Enough of durian for rest of the year. I love durians, but I guess age is catching up, hence can’t eat alot.

After many moons of not updating my blog theme, I’ve finally decided to change to a new one, after sitting there for hours looking for the perfect theme…something simple, with a big header. I’m a suck3r for huge wide header LOL…

I was tempted to change to 1 column blog, since I’ve been posting alot of photos recently, I thought that it’d be nicer, but nevertheless, I decided not to, as the whole blog looks weird!! I also had a hard time to find themes that could fit the width of the photos nicely, hence I was pretty limited to only a few in the end.

So here you are, and I redesign the blog header with 4 cool photos resembling each one of us in the family hehe…

I know, all of you will start laughing, especially at Mr. Hon’s Pic. I hope he don’t kill me when he reads my blog the next time.

I still have some plugins and what nots to fix on the new template, so once a while you might still notice that old template flashing out while I’m working at it.

Loving the fresh orange colour. This shall last for some time, at least the colour. Photos might change occasionally :).
