14 February 2013 – Happy Valentine Day

Woke up early morning to discover Crabtree & Evelyn set on the dining table. There were also 2 decorative bells with sweets inside. I reminded myself to ask Kwee Yap who sent it to us. My best guess was it was gift from our neighbor…though I really like the gift, I started to wonder why would neighbor gave us such gift. Normally they would give us food but never…body care set though I find it really practical.


After cleaning the house, I left the house to start work after the long CNY break. Fortunately Kwee Yap is still on holiday thus he could take care of the 3 kids. I’m really very grateful to him for taking care of the boys during this time. After watching the Daai drama on Teacher Chen’s story, I reminded myself to appreciate my husband effort and not to take things for granted. Colleagues asked me to join them for dim sum lunch but I declined since I know Kwee Yap and the kids would be here for lunch. Kwee Yap and the kids arrived here around 12.40pm and Sean chose Tony Roma. We had a heavy meal and everyone enjoyed their meal to the fullest.

A funny thing happened. Kwee Yap asked whether I have seen his Valentine present. This question really caused me splitting hairs. I tried to recall what presents I received today….No idea … Kwee Yap asked whether I saw the Crabtree set on the dining table. Haha, at that instant I really couldn’t help laughing as I thought it was present from neighbor. Kwee Yap looked a bit hopeless and said “why would neighbor gave those as presents?”. Sean and Ye chipped in to say “aiya, mummy is like that one loh, blur…”. Haha, I still can’t help laughing whenever I think of this incident. This could be most MCC thing I could do so far. Happy Valentine Day!!! So happy today to see all the kids enjoying their lunch especially Tong, she looked so adorable and so grown up. Told me that I don’t have to carry her around as she is grown up already. I suspected this is because the boys must have reminded her that I had sprained my back recently. Gan En .

Firefly – Kg Kuantan
Dated : 11 June 2009

Today ,my family and I went for a trip to Kampung Kuantan. We left our house at around 2.30 pm. First we dropped by auntie’s house to visit my dear little sister, Ern Tong. It started to rain by then.
Afterthat, we started our journey to Kampung Kuantan from there. Fortunately rain stopped by then. It took us almost an hour to reached Bukit Malawati, Kuala Selangor. We visited a muzium where they displayed all Malaysian traditional games. We saw games such as gasing, guli, batu seremban, congkak, upih and many others.
We also saw many monkeys at the park. There was a light house on top of the hill but unfortunately we were not allowed in. There were a few canons facing the sea.
Many tourists are seen feeding the monkeys. They bought long beans from the ice-cream vendors. We proceeded for dinner at a seafood restaurant nearby. It was a sumptuous dinner, we had steamed mantis prawns, fried mantis prawns, steamed pomfret and some vegetables. The restaurant is situated on the river which provided us great sun set sight.

After the sumptuous meal, we proceeded to the firefly park at Kampung Kuantan. It was quite dark by the time we arrived. We quickly purchased some tickets. We are required to rent a boat for 4 of us. It costed us Rm40. For safety measure, we have to put on life jacket. The weather was quite stuffy that night and many mosquitoes feast on us. Shortly we lined up to take our boat. What a fantastic sights! Unfortunately we were not able to capture any firefly sight but it was a great wonder. Understand that there are only 2 firefly sites in the world and Kampung Kuantan is one of it.
