My first handwork using the glue pen...

It's a photo frame..just fill in the color with the glue pen....bought it at Mid Valley that day (RM6.00)...I should get more of this glue pens as when I see the price selling at the Mid Valley...doom!...very very expensive ler so I only take away the photo frame lor.....RM29.90 for 1 set consist of 6 pcs niah....whereby I can get 4 sets if buy from Taiwan ler...it's from the same company made in Korea the different was the packing....and ar the function also not as good as I bought from Taiwan on any surface like fabrics, stones, papers, glasses, mirrors, mugs & etc...only can write on glass surface niah lar.....



See how ugly was the yellow color filling....maybe it's too big I guess so...despite my poor skill....



Still sorting which photo of Leon boy to put up.....


Another weekend is coming....Darling is waiting his mummy to pick him up after work...can't wait to see him and smell him again.....Have a nice weekend....

Leon's 1st Birthday celebration

Very Backdated post....

It has been 3 weeks ago Leon boy celebrated his 1st birthday but I still haven't get a time to blog about it. So many things to blog and yet so little time to do so as no internet surfing at home. The only time for me to blog was to steal some working hours to update my blog....ssshhhhhh...."boss if you happen to read my blog please forgive me as blogging also a way to release some tension mar".....

Since Leon boy just recovered from HFMD I organized a very simple birthday party for him among close family members only....as I've said before don't wanna take the risk even paed's advise was he already 100% recovered and he will not spread to others but for me it's better to prevent than cure right....

I prepared a few simple dishes niah lar....I cooked "Man Chu Yok", fried some vegetables, fried nuggets and chickens....served with rice.....my "Man Chu Yok" habis sapu kering-kering....



Chinese tradition will not forget this....red eggs.....


I ask my colleague Pik Sent to write down "LEON" word on some of the eggs with the glue pen that I've bought from Taiwan....


While mummy was busy with preparation in the kitchen, my MIL feed him dinner....



How fortunate I am with helps from my MIL....



Leon was so happy to see his 1st present from his cousins (Hubby's youngest brother's kids)....he got a pair of kids....



Handmade Birthday cards!!!...This was made from Kar Wai...the elder son..


Boy being boy....some picture of "BEN 10" cartoon character....



Awww...so sweet...no need to explain...from the girl lar of course Kar Yan...Kar Wai's mei-mei


Mei-mei's writing was so big vs to her Kor-kor....lol



He looks so happy...do you think he know what actually happen on that day?....



Change him to a new shirt and long pant as all this while most of the time he wore only rompers...looks cute and easy to maintain mar...out of sudden he looks like a big boy edi...


And a pair of shoes which I bought from Taiwan....



He doesn't like the new shoes at all...keep on pulling the velcro to take the shoes off....sigh


Still not giving up yet to take the shoes off....



Daddy was helping him to wear it back....but he keeps on open the velcro...end up we take off lar...wasted mummy's effort niah to buy him new shoes....sob sob....


Dang dang dang....Cutting cake time.....



It's a jelly cake...He luv Barney & Partrick very much but only Barney available as I tought to get him Patrick...



The jelly writing was just perfect.....



The lil' one stunned for a while when they sing "Birthday" song....



But then when they laughed, he also laughed..I wonder whether he know it's his birthday on that day or not?



Other kids was so excited to see the Barney jelly cake can't wait the jelly cake to be served but the lil' one busy picking something....can you see the other hand...that is Kar Wai's hand who pick Leon's jelly name....and he is the one who blow the candle as well....


We ask Leon boy to cut the cake but he was busy checking the things that he picked up...actually it's his left over jelly name lar...lol..



From left Kar Wai & Kar Yan, follow by Zhen Ai (husband's eldest sister's only daughter) and Su Wei (my 2nd younger sister's only son)



This is Pik Sent my colleague and blogger too....Why this couple was here? because the only couple who haven't married and no kids so can come lar....She was very helpful as ask her to come at 8.00pm but she heading to my house straight away after work...so sweet.....


Looking for family picture 3 of us?...well...dare not to post up as mummy's face was so oily after one whole day busy in the kitchen with sweats....muahahahaha....

My Taiwan Trip (Part 4) Final

Continue from here Taiwan Trip (Part 3) I forgot to write down the hotel address that I stay in case you guys intend to visit Taipei, Taiwan one day.

Banciao City, Taipei 220.
Taiwan.
Reservation Room contact number : 02-2965-8008

In fact, once you have the map it's not difficult to get from a place to another place in Taipei as their MRT is very much convenient...Most of the places there was just walking distance from MRT station...unlike in Malaysia whereby you still have to look for cab or bus after get down from LRT or commuter train to reach your destination...sigh...

Oh yeah....time to nag my sucks experience the day I come back to Malaysia....
Wake up as early as 4.00am to get ready myself and pack my luggage...when I got down to the hotel lobby to check out, I already see the driver waiting for me with his van...yup...you read it right it's a 12 seater van so can you imagine how big is my parts that I need to handcarry back?

I have to go to the group company first to collect my parts as they work overnight to rush the job for me...My eyes bling after I saw the packages while talking to myself..oh oo..how am I going to handle this alone man....2 cartons with each size of about 1 meter length x 1/2 meter height...

Then I ask the guy...where is proforma invoice? his mouth open wide..cannot understand lar and I do not know how to translate in chinese for that word ok..hand signal not going to work this time...go up to the factory...yes..the factory were located at 7th floor...the guy starting to call the person who normally deal with me...hallo who is going to answer phone at 5.00am in the morning? fine..call the other lady who always prepare proforma invoice for shipment...also cannot get....then it so happen this lady was one of their engineer's wife...lucky his husband's handphone is 24 hr switch on...pass to his wife...when I talked to her I was fuming like mad woman edi...she is pushing the responsiblity to each other...she say "not I do one lar...suppose Connie" neh the 1st person that I call one lar.."I think she forget lar"...then me how????? if they not let me boarding then I have to stay for another day just to wait for that stupid proforma invoice?????I dont want ok....I tell her later if they reject me how? can you give me your handphone number?...she is adding more fume to my mad..she say "it's useless to give you my handphone number as I will not switch on"...come one I came all the way to here can't she tolerate to help me meh?...at least there is number for me to refer if I need help right?"Ok lar you call my house"..

After write down her stupid house number, hang up and rush to airport...ding dong ding dong till the time almost 6.00am and from here to airport gonna takes another 40 mins....my flight take off at 8.00am...I still need time to check in leh, boarding leh...grrrr....#%$#%^%#
Reach airport download the cartons and sucks as their trolley was too small thus I still stacked the 2 cartons together..imagine a trolley being pushed headless....no choice lar...abo then 2 hands can handle 2 trolleys meh?$%@$#^%#&@

When I check in, there is a guy at the ticketing counter..I think he is a head dept of the ticketing department lar...raise quite a high pitch to me...."what's in your carton?so big one"...told him prototype he huh? then told him it's dummy mock up he also huh? that's why I beg for proforma invoice lar...."your cartons is too big cannot go load in to the cabin"! unless you change to tomorrow flight as tomorrow flight is bigger...you didn't check your flight one meh?"...blablablablabla....

Told him No! I must get back to Malaysia by today..any other way so that I can do so that can go thru your cabin storage?...solution is "REPACKING LAR"....sigh...ask him where is repacking centre...he keep on exasperating at me and say go there and find lar...I ask again roughly where is it?...he repeat again with high voice and say go there and find lar!....and me what else....^*^@$%#%^&#*^*&...is this call customer service? pui pui pui...

The ticketing lady remind me to come back again within 20 mins...aiyo...run here and there like mad cow..what's more the 2 cartons is not light ok.....just imagine how a cow run...finally got the repacking centre...luckily no queue at all...ask her to get the things done for me....in between I help her also lar...how come a lady work in this kind of job one?...Meanwhile I check the counter..only accept cash...sigh...told her that I left only NST1000 (RM118) is that enough?...thank God!..the amount was just nice....I was doubt to use all my Taiwan money last night in Ximending as it's gonna cause the conversion shrink when I come back to Malaysia mar....how lucky I am....sweats....

Done and run the errands like mad cow again all the way to the ticketing counter to check in...by then the queue were getting longer and longer liau...meet the man again...who?...neh..just now keep saying my cartons is big....pass by me and say ar...liddat mar....now can go in to the cabin liau....I #@%^#%#^ at his back....

To my turn to check in...another problem pulak....overweight by 27 kgs...have to tax me NST10800!!!! (RM1,274.40)..."miss take this and pay at the counter there but come back within 20 mins"...again?...this mad cow no strength to run but still have to run lar!!!!!!....queue is not long but process were slow.....@%#^&&&$&$...so worried I might miss the flight ler.....


Finally, settle everything got my boarding pass....lay down my butt on the seat....how relieve I am....while enjoy my relaxing a guy next to me ask..."wow miss what's in your cartons just now hor? very big huh...why not you send thru DHL or FedEx"?...you see lar how famous I am after a few competition of running.....hahahahaha....

If the things can be done by courier services I will not be here today lor.....and no need tax again for RM100 when check out from Malaysia custom check lor.....


Reminder for me : Will not go for handcarry next time..let the sales person handle it....

My little "Stunmant"

Leon were expert to land his "butt" first when he wants to come down from our bed or sofa..and ya..thanks to Daddy lor who teach him this skill..he got it after few times Daddy teach him by turning his "butt" down by telling him.."use your butt to come down"....

Last weekend, Daddy was proud to show me his performance...so I ready my camera to capture the moment lor....mana tau...





My heart was like stop beating few seconds after I see his action ler...that's why you can see the camera slope down abit at the end of video there...aiyo!...

My Taiwan Trip (Part 3)

By the time I check into hotel, it's almost half past 6pm and sky is getting dark...the weather is 28°C..consider ok compare to KL...Unpacked my luggage and walk around to check whether everything is in good condition or not...I was staying in Grand Forward Hotel where located in middle of Banciao city which nearby light industrial area and walking distance to MRT station...luckily this time my room doesn't have dressing table...or else I will not sleep for whole night... as if so there will have a big mirror on it and my mind will go imagination those funny funny things liau....no need to explain far hor..know what I mean lar...and yeah hubby always say that I'm "mou kuai yong" (useless)...Other than this nonsense I quite like the room..the ambience was very cosy...


This is my bed..yeah sleeping alone in a king size...



As usual most hotel have it..build in cabinet with mini fridge and place to make coffee...



well..the bathrom also looks nice...this is bath with shower



And bath tub as well...I prefer the shower one...

Take a quick bath, go down to the receptionist and ask some information before heading to the MRT station..last business trip been to Shilin Night Market...my colleague told me there is another night market which have a lots of things to shop call Ximending Circle...just now the hotel staff already circle the map to mark where am I and which station I need to go down in order to get there...

While I walk walk walk...Alamak! feel abit hungry ler...drop by at the bakery shop and oh no! everything is written in Mandarin...so how?...open mouth and ask the shop assistant there lar abo then no need to eat meh...got chicken floss bread...

When I reached MRT station, my eyes were busy to see how those Taiwanese buy ticket but most of them is using card like our touch n go card...sigh...end up go to information counter and buy..hahaha....

In the train, I always check from each station to each station..worried mar later got down at wrong station how?....finally annoucement were made that the train is reaching Ximen station...get ready myself seriously to get off the train...so kiasu..lol...


Nothing much for me to shop in Ximending night market...more suitable for youngsters besides Taiwanese foods and snacks...sigh..no toddler clothing as I taught can get few pcs for Leon boy mar...my previous trip about 2 years ago when I go to Shilin night market I bought quite a lot for my nephew, colleague's kids...that time I haven't married mar...takkan mau beli and simpan for my kids later meh....

What caught my attention in Ximending night market was their variety of foods and snacks...too bad my stomach cannot fill so much even my size was a big size ok....

Guess what food was that for the below photo?






Does it looks like our Malaysian roti canai?


Then we shall call it Taiwan roti canai lor...lol...the shape almost the same with our roti canai but but but this one more delicious compare to our home one lar...very much crispy.. our's was mix those egg or other ingredients together with the dough..unlike i Taiwan like this photo..the egg fried separately...


Aarr...this one is pork meat...


Here's the menu and price....quite a lot of variety ler...yummy...



The cooking method also different with us...they use machine to flat the dough and whole process they use kitchen utensils like tweezer lor..It's look more hygiene right..



When done, the add. ingredients will put into the so-called roti canai...



Also I record down in video version for clear picture...


Some night view photos of shops....
