Went home after lunch.. reached Penang around 3pm.. phew… so tired and so hot!!!

A post specially dedicated to my baby Darren… he has changed so much from the day he came to this world till now, which is 2 years, 3 months and 5 days old…

From dark and skinny….

To chubby a bit…

To super chubby…..

To start slimming down (Cuz he started to be choosy =__=|||.. baby oso can be so choosy)….

To skinny and tall now…

>> This was his 1-year-old birthday’s picture… so skinny d…

>> Chinese New Year 2009..


>> This was his 2 years old birthday… do you spot any difference from 1-year-old to 2-year-old?

Till the most recent one where he was bitten by don’t-know-what-kinda-insects….

Gosh! He has just grown up soooooo fast!

But.. he is always a pain in my ass… he loves to make me angry (which makse me hate kids so much now >.<)… he loves to do things that adults don’t allow him to do on purpose (like throw things everywhere, beat people, vivi aka pee without telling us, eat unhealthy food – chocolate, play with water – this is the latest favourite from him, etc)… the list is never ending…He just drives me crazy!!

He still doesn’t know speak fluently.. just words by words… I believe he knows a lot of things and words… he just doesn’t want to speak nicely… naughty him…

But he is a gem in our family..gem in his father and mother’s heart.. gem in grandma’s heart, gem in those auntie and uncles’ heart in temple, gem in his babysitter’s heart… and nonetheless, gem in his closest auntie -> which is MY heart as well…

Tho I always grumble about his bad behavior…but there is no doubt that I love him very much… anyhow, he is the first and only one small child at home..

I was really busy lately till I don’t even have time to take our my camera to snap his pic… so sorry ya bb… promise I will snap more…

Love ya BB! muaks!

P/S: For those of you thought he is my bb, ya, he is. But I didn’t carry him for 10 months only *blek* He is my only bb. That is why I won’t think of carrying my own in anytime in the future.

Cheers!

Went to have Haagen Dazs with sister, baby and bro-in-law on the Sunday before sis went back to Tabuk…I’m collecting points to upgrade my card so I dragged her along.. lol…

But baby was sooooo happy … sure la! Gets to eat the best ice-cream in the world wor…he even drank d whole glass of water (where normally he doesn’t like to drink water)… again… sure la! first: it was a cold water… second: got lemon taste in it… not the normal plain water with no taste at all… at least got the lemon taste that makes the water become not so “plain” … lol…

Today baby’s face suddenly swollen. Mom said this morning wasn’t so serious…but just now was soo serious till mom kept grumbling there… >.< Not sure he got bitten by what… or allergy to what food or what ever la..

See his swollen hand, ear and face:

See how red is his ear? he felt nothing at all >.< He dun feel itchy or pain or anything.. still can laugh when I play with him and cry when got scolded by me .. hmm… He is a tough kid

>> Update: Darren’s face is getting better after mom gave him medicine. However the scar still there… sad…

This post was supposed to come out last week..but I was really too busy hanging out with sis and I still got at least 10 more post for my Australia trips >.<…

Some bad news first:

Sister suggested for a holiday @ Langkawi on August 2009… I’m supposed to book the hotel online… this particular night, I placed the order online via the hotel’s website… but connection got problem… so the website hung for a while… but the order went through and my credit card was charged as well… I called to the hotel to have a check, they said they can’t view any online information if I just placed my order.. need to wait 48 hours… erm…alright… since I got the email notification.. then is alright… probably call back again… which I didn’t … and I also didn’t notice the check-in date was wrong. Yes! It is freaking wrong! I didn’t know that till I want to check-in…

So how? Pay for the rooms again la @_@ Damn it! Damn sui la… Garden view Deluxe room with discounted price also RM 147 per room…. lucky the person-in-charge gave me the discounted price… else I’m gona hang myself… even with RM 147 x 2 (cuz we ordered 2 Deluxe rooms)… so I have to fork out RM 294… damn sui la…

Ok…there goes the bad news…continue back to my holiday… a short get-away with my family…

We took a boat from Penang to Langkawi… I have to say… it sucks… felt so dizzy and nausea from Penang to Langkawi… >.<

We rented a Naza Citra … cost us RM 160 until the next day 5pm… >.< expensive la… but what to do? no car d..

By the time bro-in-law settled the paper works for the car rental, it was almost 1pm d… so we drove to Underwater World there to have our lunch…

>> Baby was busy drinking the cold fruit juice.. I also forgot to snap the pictures of our lunch… waited too long for the food d… and it was just malay mamak food.. so didnt really have the urge to snap it.. lol…

After lunch, we went to Underwater World… for RM 28 (Mykad holder).. I can say it was really worth the view… compared to the AQWA I went in Perth Australia (which I will blog about it soon)..

>> They have a lot of different animals in here… penguin, seal, otter, stingray, turtle, live corals, clown fish, etc…

>> Tested different shutter speeds again.. lol…

Baby was kinda tired already.. so headed to our hotel… check-in with extra RM 294 charges… reason please view above…

Oh ya! We stayed in Awana Porto Malai hotel..the environment was very nice…cozy and simple… Deluxe room got 2 queen size beds.. niceee

>> The garden view from our rooms… both rooms were connected to each other.. special request… baby loved it cuz he could run here and there… lol…

Baby took his afternoon nap…so did we…

After he woke up, we went to have our dinner and shopped for some souvenirs…

The next day.. we woke up around 8 in the morning.. thought of bringing baby for a swim… but the weather wasn’t very good…had been raining from 8-10am.. >.<

So we packed our things ready to check out.. we took pictures in the hotel balcony and room.. then walked to the back of the hotel for photo taking…

Since the rain stopped… sis wanted baby go to play water…he loved water very much…look at his happy face… cuz the laugh was so precious, I posted all up one by one without editing it..

Results of refusing to come up from the pool – Cry out loud:

>> See his angry look on his face? Like wanted to smack me d for changing him @_@ Hey I’m not the one bring you out of the water

I went to check out… and see his tired and sleepy face:

Since we got a lot of time left till we boarded the boat… so we went for some final shopping.. sis bought lots of chocolate for her Arab friends…

Final stop… the super huge eagle:

Took the boat back to Penang @ 5.30pm… reached Penang 8.30pm >.< damn slow la!

There goes my weekend ..tiring but enjoyable….

Sister wanted to eat korean food… and she saw from my blog about Daorae… so she suggested we go there for our Friday dinner….

I waited very long for them cuz bro-in-law was working late… by the time I reached Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant, it was 7.30pm… with a few people in line… and full house! WOW! What was so special today that everyone went for korean food? >.<

Anyway… I waited for awhile…I really wanted to take the upstairs tatami type seat… but they were all taken… and I didn’t really want to wait.. so I just got the normal table for 4

Finally they arrived…. so I just ordered 2 BBQ – Soy sauce seasoned pork and spicy seasoned chicken, 1 Kimchi-Jjirae and 1 ginseng chicken soup.

They gave us complimentary steam egg and small size pan cake.. niceeeee

I really like to dine-in at Daorae Korean BBQ Restaurant… the service is good, the environment is very cozy, the food is nice…. the best part? They gave 9 small plates of appetizers… korean food is famous for their small plate appetizers.. especially the kim chi plate.. niceeeeeee

Another best part? Free flow of tea for every order… and free flow of vege if you order BBQ … cool? Yes I think so

My besties kept suggesting me to have the Kimchi-jjirae @ Chang Chun Guan..cuz it is better than Daorae… It is situated just opposite Daorae… I have never been there seriously … cuz I really really like Daorae…

Reasons?

1. Chang Chun Guan’s food is much more expensive

2. They do not provide the small small appetizers like Daorae did for FOC… they charge 1 small plate for RM 3 @_@ I know.. really crazy…

3. The best seller – Kimchi-jjirae is the best… but they do not come with 1 free rice which Daorae does…

Say me unfair or being bias or calculative, but come on la… Chang Chun Guan charges you for everything you order… erm….sure dine-in at Daorae better right? You all agree with me right? but seriously … I really can’t complain much on Daorae as this is the best Korean Restaurant I’ve tasted so far (please don’t compare having such food in Korea.. there is the origin of all korean food in Malaysia.. sure there will be so much nicer )… now I’m giving free advertorial to Daorae… lol…

I’m sure I will test out how does Chang Chun Guan’s food taste like… but not so soon… currently need to save more money… lol…

Told ya all I’ll be busy… this is a very busy day for me…

Morning work half day…then rushed to Chan Ming and Lan Fong’s lunch wedding… lol… they finally had this lunch wedding after so long … I have been waiting for years… lol…

>> Bride and the bridegroom of the day – Chan Ming and Lan Fong .. wish them live happily ever after

Sad sad.. my hand so fat fat… need go slimming centre d…

The extra wedding gift for everyone:

>> it is actually a mooncake!Their wedding was on 15th August of Chinese calendar… which happened to be Chinese’s mid-autumn festival…

Met Amy… a long lost friend… who is also a close friend of Chan Ming and Lan Fong…

The wedding was held @ Vistana Hotel… same place like Sherine’s brother’s wedding last time… the deco was basically almost the same… but the band they hired was quite good…

The best part, I sat with a skin specialist doc which I went last time… he is a friend of Chan Ming… I didn’t even know about it till I ask my friend Tze Siang… lol… what a small world… lol…

I didn’t wait for the final dish as it was quite late already… I needed to go prayers with mom at Kek Lok Si… so I rushed home to pick up mom…

After that back home took a short nap.. before going to Ah boo’s house for mid-autumn festival celebration… well… I went there to eat and took pictures of baby Darren only… cuz I don’t have time to take his pictures lately… felt bad

>> Mom taught baby how to show his age… he just totally ignored her… lol… naughty him..

>> Table full of foods … lol…

>> Ah Kheng’s new born baby… just two months old…

>> Darren was so excited seeing new born baby…

>> Boon’s younger son.. very cute… he got very deep dimple when he smile… soooooo cute

>>Naughty boy messed up with his clothes.. so have to change to a new one…

Getting ready to take lantern:

We went home at 10.30pm… phew… so late for baby already… anyway.. happy Mid-Autumn festival to ya all!

We celebrated Darren’s birthday today… pictures tell it all:

Baby so eager to wear his new shoe…lol..

Happy Birthday baby Darren!

Brought baby Darren for dinner on Saturday night with bro-in-law’s friends… there are a lot of children at the newly opened restaurant as well.. he keep staring at people, hoping they will play with him:

but the child’s mom said the child need to eat… ask baby come later… cheh! Auntie really auntie… mai stare ma mai stare la…

Showing his cheeky looks:

Hands off my lens

Wonder what makes him open his mouth till like that:

More cheeky looks:

Keep wanting mom to carry him:

Uncle ah Boo and wife:

Dinner time:

Boo bought Vitagen for Darren.. but he didn’t like it… lol…

Baby played with Ah Boo… he just loved playing with him and get “tortured” by him .. lol

The restaurant’s serve a very small portion of vege… the funny part, the cooks don’t know how to make a bigger portion one.. so if you have 10 people dine-in there, you might have to order 2 serving of every dishes … to make sure is enough for 10 people

Don’t know what to blog and don’t have mood to blog are the reason of no updates in my blog…sorry ya…

The past weekend I didn’t go out… just babysit Darren…. which is a big headache for me… Honestly those who knows me will know I don’t like kids… even my family knew about it…but this naughty Darren… makes me hate kids even more!

Grhhhhh…. cuz Darren is seriously naughty… you cannot beat him as he will throw tantrum … you cannot take away what he is holding as he will throw tantrum again… he is a big super duper stubborn baby! yaya.. gen of his parents which both also equally stubborn.. that’s why the baby came out is worse ==”

I told mom, sis, and bro-in-law I don’t want to have my own babies in future. I really cannot stand having a kids around me. Make me very frust and angry. Mom said every family should have a baby then only perfect. Babies is the key to hold a family together. ==”

When he good boy the time, then is still ok. But 80% he is very naughty. He even beat my keyboard no matter how many times I told him not to. Damn frust when that happen. I always threaten my sis, if my IBM laptop or any of my things spoils, she has to pay for it cuz is her son who spoils it

Sorry… I really don’t like kids.. *blek* Maybe I’m not ready to have my own? Hmm… I don’t know
