Hmph!

Why uncle 'Prawn' keep taking my photos

Let me pretend to be in MTV

I am amazed...

Being a proud mom...I was amazed when I saw little Joo manage to draw this all by herself... I was in the kitchen and she was in the living room...I heard her saying....eyes...eyes..nose...mouth...legs.... and to my surprise..this is her drawings at 2 and half years old!
Mommy can't even draw stick people at the age of 6!

The messy spot on top of the head is the hair..mommy ask why the hair so messy..she said " he do not have comb"..i was speechless

On the other hand...perhaps too much cartoon...

After MIA for some time again....I found some time to update my blog..
Well...what I can say is luck is not on my side recently...i was down and admitted to the hospital for dengue fever while in a midst of moving house...then on my first day to work i chopped off a piece of meat on my finger early in the morning and not able to stop the blood...i drove all the way to the clinic near my office using all the possible TOL road ( I thought I could bypass the jam) but ended up stucked in the slowest lanes...took more time to reach the destination ...with my finger still bleeding which I wrapped in a towel and driving a Manual Car.... i reached the clinic 1 hour later...and the gentleman doc stopped my bleeding without much pain...*phew!*

Argh...I wish and pray good luck have arrive...

Phuket Part 2

Well, kiasu us...went out for a Day trip out the boat to Phi Phi Island and Khai Island. We believe we got a good deal on our first day at Patong by getting us approx Rm 120 /130 per person for this Day Trip. Lunch and drinks are inclusive.

It was really worth it and we really enjoy the beautiful scenary, beaches, people, snokerling, boat ride, etc...Not to mention being at the place Leonardo Dicaprio have been for the setting of Beach. Also, a glimpse of where one of the place in James Bond Movie (as informed by tour guard)

First, Maya Bay, where The Beach was shot, then snokerling at another side of Phi Phi Island, Lunch at Phi Phi Town, get close and personal with Wild Monkeys, and Snokerling at Khai Island.

This is where The Beach was shot...best scenary with surrounding lime stones
Snack Bar? Perhaps this is where Leonardo had his snack...
Maya Bay...
In Maya Bay...Leonardo...heeehhe..I really love the plant! look special..and if not mistaken can be seen in The Beach movie? This one of the place where James Bond movie was shot (not Phang Nga though)
Heading toward Phi Phi town... there are even hotels there...so perhaps you can book there if you want!
Phi Phi Town...small lane
Khai Island for snokerling

Overall, it was a good trip...until...I got food poisoning on my last day there....*sign*

Phuket - Part 1

Well, daddy and mommy took time off to 'celebrate' our birthday to fly off to Phuket for a short 3 days 2 nights trip..

Initially we planned to have a relaxing trip, but as usual we end up being kiasu to try to visit whereever possible areas we can while we are there! ahahaha.. It have been some time since our trip..

Overall, it is about food, food, food, walking, plenty of walking, and venture to the island! Yippie..

** Note: the pics here are not organise by sequence...when upload time need to break to two times, then it will append on top instead of bottom! ** grr

Our second lunch on first day of arrival!..missing in the photo is the fried seafood 'mee'.. See the veges on the tables? There are plenty of these raw veges which I notice locals will just eat it raw together with their main course - eg: just a bowl of plain mee and few bite of veges! The 2 cups is for our bottled coke which cost approx. RM 2 per bottle. On the right is the commonly found 'meat sticks' with chilli source.. we ate plenty of these on our first day! haha..cost around RM 1+ each..strange taste as I couldn't figure out what makes up the meat..but some if good. The seafood mee is sweet...but I love Thai's mee texture .it is 'kenyal'.. approx. RM 5 for one plate. Overall, tried twice fried mee/meehoon there, both are a little too sweet...
Oh ya! This is the fried seafood mee which I mentioned above! Nice texture but a little too sweet..and the meaty stick..
These are the ingrediants.....
First day dinner - from left, mango salad approx RM 5/8 forgot (fuh! super spicy that we cannot finish it. Combination of mango, peanuts, onions, red hot pepper -cili padi, lime and some other raw veges), meaty sticks again, fried meehoon approx Rm 1 (a little too sweet!), roasted chicken with chili sauce approx RM 3 ?(it looks spicy but end up sweet again)... and of course, alchoholic drinks..heehehhe
Our 2nd nite heartful dinner, enough to serve 4 people! This stall is just located at the street in front of our hotel. There are plenty of seafood stalls on this street. We had lala (taste a bit special with some herbs taste), seafood tom yam, fried pineapple rice, fried mee (i think like kuay teow), fried squid. It costs us approx RM 80! And we can hardly walk after that!..

This is where we had our food...Patong Street.. really happening place with food, crafts, clothes, bags, plenty of 'massage' centers and pubs, restaurants....etc. We had a hard time to look for our Thai massage. After plenty of walking, we finally ended up at a Massage Place located strategically at a open area and next to the busy T-junction. It cost approx RM 20 for 1 hour of Thai massage per person... hmmm... :)
I love this display! hehhe..look like my fav drink 'cincau' but didn't really try
These can be found easily too, we bought the one on top for approx RM 3. It taste like tasteless thick appam with hotdog (but no taste) in it..hmm..not recommended.
Anyone dare to try?
Meat Sticks

What I can say... Phuket is convenient especially if you stay at Patong like we did. Plenty of night life, people are very very friendly, polite and soft spoken, transportations are easy. When the Thai ladies speak, it melts my heart..ehhehe..their tourism is widely promoted thus, you can find almost everything there.

Food wise, I still prefer the Thai food in Malaysia..more spicy and less sugar..:)

Little Joo

More of little Joo...well..perhaps no longer little....she will be turning 2 soon!!!

Lil Jo loves to read...well..mumble her own words..

She loves to listen to mommy reading stories

She loves to sing

She loves to watch Hi-5 ( Free VCDs from her milk powder), so much that she do not want her Barney or Elmo VCDs.. hmm...they grow up so fast!

Bravo to Malaysia Nature Society (MNS)

I am amazed!! I wanted to write this for quite some time but couldn't find the time to do so..

BRAVO to Malaysia Nature Society!!
My earlier post on the bird... I was looking high and low to find out what bird that was standing in front of my bedroom window for more than half an hour! through the Internet..Books..

I came across the MNS website and immediately tried my luck by writing to them with the photos attached in the midnite.. To my surprise and excitement, they replied early in the morning the next day with the answer!

It is crested goshawk.. a common raptor found in Malaysia.!! but to me..it is certainly not common, especially having so near and clear view with some interaction with the raptor rite in front of my bedroom. :)

It is special indeed... u know why ?

1. I have never seen any birds in front of my window at those trees throughout my years of stay
2. Lil Jo have been shouting 'bird bird' when I did not believe her and brought her out to play in the living room for almost half an hour
3. Lil Jo shouted bird bird and view the window when she is back in the room
4. I finally believe her when I see for myself the bird is bearly 3 feet away
5. Lil Jo and I was making so much noise and the bird just look at us from time to time
6. It was not until few minutes later I remembered my camera and took pictures of the raptor from different angle..and even flash!
7. It just continue to stand there...with occasionally turning the face to look at us ..for almost 10 minutes
8. It was my father-in-law birthday. He passed away one month before Lil Jo was born..

I believe....
