Have you ever thought that what if one day you are disabled? But at the same time you need some help but don’t know who to turn to? In Malaysia, we have this society call the Welfare Organisation which takes care of all these people and help them to find a job which they are capable of to ensure they can still earn a living. But if you are in US, you might want to find out more based on the social security disability Program to see if you are eligble for that. I bet the benefits are similar to what is offered back here or even greater.

Like 1 month ago or so, 1 fine day. Vyktore told me, “Yerrow, Yerrow” while pointing at Faythe’s mini colour pallette.

At first I thought it was a fluke, so I ask him again, what colour is this? He repeated Yerrow. Whoa…little did I know this boy been learning colours in the school. Then he went Bru pointing at the blue colour pallette.

Then I went Pink, he repeated Pink, I went Yellow, he repeated Yellow….and since then, naming colours is one of his fav pass time till now LOL.

This is what he usually do:

While holding the transformer DVD Cover:

  1. What colour? Yellow…… pointing at Bumble bee
  2. What colour? Bru (Blue)….pointing at Optimus Prime
  3. What colour? Brack (Black)…pointing at Megatron

And he repeats this a gazillionth time till we start repeating after him to assure him the colours are correct. O.o.

While flipping the book:

  1. What colour? Purple…pointing at some purple colour picture
  2. What colour? Pink…pointing at the pink colour car

Funny thing is he ask the question himself and answers back himself haha…..

Sometimes I’ll test him and ask him:

Mommy: Vyktore, Mommy’s baju what colour?
Vyktore: Grin (Green)
Mommy: Mommy’s watch what colour?
Vyktore: Why (White)
Mommy: Jie Jie’s baju what colour?
Vyktore: Look at Faythe….Purple!!
Mommy: No, jie jie’s baju is pink.
Vyktore: Purple…..*giggles* Purple *giggles* - I think he did this on purpose for the fun of it

I’m getting quite good in deciphering his gibberish language nowadays and I understand 90% of his words :). The colours he knows very well:

  • PInk
  • Purple
  • Rid (red)
  • Bru (blue)
  • Grin (green)
  • Why (white)
  • Brack (black)
  • Yello (Yellow)
  • O-vin (Orange)

He makes alot of mess when we do painting at home, cause he likes to mix colours together. He’d go:

  1. Yello & O-vin
  2. Bru & Grin
  3. Bru & Yello

And the list goes on…..

Another milestone for Vyktore :).

> Ingredients in it <

Was browsing the net over some of the ingredients used in diet pills, it really amaze me the whole list of pills in the market that is available. The list is simply endless and countless!! All these ingredients they put in, do they actually have side effects, say if you stop using it after a while? Will you regain the weight again? I read thru the ingredients used in phenocal, tt’s pretty scary when you read thru the ingredients that you are consuming to get slim. Though it says FDA proven, but who knows right.

Lately I’ve gained a few kilos, which obviously I don’t know how that happened? I didn’t really change my eating habit, but I’ve been taking alot nite snacks as I’ve been staying up late some nights to finish up some jobs. Maybe the snacking is the major contributor for those additional kilos. Sigh, how am I gonna shake those off if I don’t get some best weight loss supplement :(. Should I start exercising soon?

> Types of Lawyers <
icon1 jazzmint | icon2 Duit Kopi | icon4 09 10th, 2009| icon3Comments Off

I’m never familiar with all the terms used in the law industry. Barrister, Advocates, and Solicitors, just to name a few. They are all jargons to me. Probably it works the same to them when it comes to computer terms hehe…In the law industry, you can find all sorts of lawyer, specialising in different areas. I never knew that Lawyers can be so specialised haha..I thought only doctors. This is what I saw the other day “Tennessee injury lawyers“. I really wonder what they do huh..

> More storage required <
icon1 jazzmint | icon2 Duit Kopi | icon4 09 10th, 2009| icon3Comments Off

With the ever growing compilation of photos, I was thinking of purchasing another external HDD. Actually I already have 2. One for working files, and 1 as storage mainly. But this storage one I’m a bit worried as well if it’s good enough, so I thought should at least do a mirror copy of the storage HDD. Call me kiasu :P. But even with mirror image, it might not be good enough. Maybe gotta get online storage to store some really important files. Sigh..this the problem when everything is digital.

I was introduced Eumora Miracle Bar last month by a blogger Mommy. It started off pretty bad with peeling skin, but now it’s less. But pimples are still popping by as and when they like. I’m still wondering if this miracle bar works for me. I’ve not seen much improvement so far. Maybe I must ask Daddy when he comes back,since I started using when he was around, then he left for 6 wks. Maybe he can tell me hehe..if it works, then I’m sure I don’t need anymore wrinkle cream on my dressing table.

> I need to lose it!! <
icon1 jazzmint | icon2 Duit Kopi | icon4 09 10th, 2009| icon3Comments Off

I really don’t know what’s wrong lately. Is it due to stress? I’ve put on easily 5kg from the last few months. Despite cutting down food, but I’m still grow sideways :(. I seriously think I need to start on a weight loss diet before I get too fat. Actually the BMI is still healthy but I guess there are more fat in me than muscles. Maybe some exercise is required…which I seriously can’t find time :(. Gosh…how lah like that.

Sep 10

For the 1st time in my life, I’m enjoying extra public holiday since I started working in Selangor State. So over the long weekend, I planned for a short vacation for the kids, without Daddy *bleah*. Can’t wait for him, and since he’s not a beach go-er, might as well we go first.

It was actually Sue’s dept trip to Damai Laut, Lumut over the weekend. She told me she’s bringing her kids along & her mom & the whole platoon. So I thought, shiats…am I gonna rot at home or what, so I took the kids there as well, away from the hustle & bustle of city life. I even decided to dump the maid at home, but manage to get Cheryl to tag along with me.

We left KL close to 11am on Saturday morning. 1st and only stop, of course it’s Bidor. What else to eat, Herbal Soup Duck Noodles!! OF COURSE!! I shared my portion with Faythe, whom was very hungry at that time while Vyktore had his mixed rice.

After that we head straight to Damai Laut Resort and along the way, Sue’s car miss a few turns here n there. Finally check in the hotel at 3pm. Took a short nap as I was really tired after the long drive.

Then we took the kids to the swimming pool & beach. But Vyktore didn’t want to get wet. He was more than happy just sitting there daydreaming.

Vyktore taking bites of Ice Cream from Cheryl. Vyktore refuse to get down to the beach. So he settle himself on a big rock and watch Faythe collecting sea shells.

Sunset over at Damai Laut. The sky was actually orangy, but I was playing with the camera WB to see what are the different results hehe…

We had dinner in Sitiawan for the 1st night. Pretty cheap dinner, 9 adults and 4 kids only cost us like RM14/pax.

Next day, we went to Turtle Sanctuary @ Segari. It was quite a distance from the hotel. Not very sure why, but this place is full of flies!!! They even got into our car and we spent some good time clearing all the flies from the car O.o.

We enjoyed ourselves looking at all the turtles (from big to small). I think this is a Olive Green Turtle.

Vyktore, Izac, Ivan & Haslina watching the turtles swimming. Izac & Ivan even touched the turtle when it swam close to the pool side. I touched the turtle too. Feels soft and nice ;).

Baby turtles swimming in a separate pool.

Sue & her 2 boys riding on a Giant Turtle.

The kids at the buggy. I like this photo of everyone riding on the turtle haha….too bad I’m not there only :P.

Then we had McD for lunch before heading to Lumut town to buy some souvenirs back home.

We were all knocked out by the time we arrived hotel at 4pm. We slept till 7pm and it was time for BBQ Seafood Dinner at the hotel. KIds eat free and Adults only pay 50% of the price. Not bad. Though there weren’t much variety, the food was pretty tasty.

View of the pool from our room. That’s Vyktore, refuse to get into the pool in the morning.

Vyktore, throwing the beach ball to Faythe.

Passing the ball around. Faythe tried very hard to persuade Vyktore into the pool but failed of course.

Faythe, trying to hide from papparazzi Mommy.

I love this shot of Faythe throwing the ball up. A view of Kellie’s Castle from the side.

Next day we check out and left Lumut at 11am. We took a different road to go back to KL as we intend to stop over at Kellie’s Castle.

View of Kellie’s Castle from the carpark. I bet if it’s fully built, it’d be a great historical piece.

Taking some photos at this beautiful stoned walk way. Some people say they spotted the Kellie’s Spirit at this walk way. Eeek…

I’ve heard so much about this Castle, but seriously, this the 1st time I set my feet on this place. Well, there’s nothing much here actually, just an abandoned castle with some notes here and there indicating what could possibly be if the castle were fully built. It’s a very nice place for photoshoot though.

I like the spectacular view from the top of the castle. Can even see the Caves over at Ipoh!!

Myself, camwh0ring at the Kellie’s Castle with Vyktore.

Myself again, camwh0ring with Faythe & Vyktore.

Some plaster ceiling design found at the castle. Pretty amazed that at that time plaster ceiling is already available. Probably imported from UK and cost a bomb O.o.

An abandon building just behind the castle. This building has alot of Melayu Architectural influence.

Kids chasing each other at the castle. Look, my lil princess even wore a crown and she says she’s the princess hahaha…

View from inside one of the rooms with 2 doors.

Lift shaft. Supposingly the 1st ever lift shaft in a building ever existed in Malaysia, if it was completed.

View of the castle from the roof top. This area does not have wall, pretty scary.

Stairs, not sure leading to where, didn’t dare to go down via this way.

Another view of Kellie’s Castle from the roof top.

See the photo on the left, the roof doesn’t have any barrier/fence at the side, scary huh…

A view of the castle from the foot hill.

Last camwh0re photo with Vyktore before we leave for KL.

Thereafter, we drove all the way back to KL.

I enjoyed the trip very much, very relaxing and children oriented haha…The kids enjoyed themselves too. Faythe with all that swimming & collecting sea shells at the beach. Vyktore with all the turtle watching.

I just realised that each week when I blog, most of the time I’ve been blogging about the places we go, and nothing much apart from that *smack forehead*. Will try to write something else next week, I promise :). No more trips hahah…..

> Less acne <
icon1 jazzmint | icon2 Duit Kopi | icon4 09 10th, 2009| icon3Comments Off

I’ve started using this Eumora Miracle Bar sometime ago. When I first used it, the face was ultimate oily. Acne was popping up everywhere. I was pretty worried that I thought I need to go for acne treatment. But thank god after 3 months of using, it begins to show signs of recovery. Hopefully long term, it will really help to improve my skin condition.
