Family Day Out

*managed to borrow my dad's laptop *

After arriving for almost 3 weeks, Sunday was the first day that we had a family outing (beside dinner). My mum was craving for the food in the fish market, and so we have decided to spend the afternoon in the city.

As usual,parking in the city is ridiculous, but lucky we managed to find a nearer spot to avoid walking too far(lazy me, and partially i dont have proper shoes on :P).Another crazy thing is finding a place to sit in the market,which is another problem, again lucky for us, we managed to find a spot after looking for 20 minutes. We didnt order that much of food, but gosh, its one of my fastest chomping time i had. I was basically swallowing my tuna and salmon sashimi, and fish and chip. We were trying to to get out of the market as soon as possible as we have the parking meter on. 1.5 hours is surely not enough time to have lunch.. hehe




Yummy Fresh Oyster




Then off we went to the other other part of the city, for our exercise after lunch. We drove to Darling harbour for a nice stroll in the harbour. Apparently it was a very nice day, sunny, but breezy. A great time for an gelato and ice chocolate from lindts cafe. The kids seem to be having a great time, but poor master 1, he wanted to sit on the stroller, he was getting lazy to walk.Eventually the 2 masters had to negotiated... Fit two little bums on the small stroller. What a work out for both my mum, sis and myself. Its tough pushing 24 kg.Now i wonder why some people are willing to spend more money on a good quality stroller. There is a difference between 80 rm and 888rm hahaha....


Master 1 couldnt resist pressing it

hmmm which one shall i have??


This is heaven




Ice chocolate Ice Mocha





So after a nice stroll along the harbour, it was time for us to head back home. Within 10 minutes, the passengers in the backseats are out... and with their mouth open... (i was sitting in the front and i was trying hard not to sleep with my mouth open, but its uncontrollable)I was exhausted... but it was a nice day...:)

What have we been up to?

*Kids are ZZZZzz and im grabbing an opportunity to blog** **sorry no photos.. too lazy to upload*

Well, i have finally gotten the chance to go "online". Thanks to my dad's laptop, im doing a full Internet surfing. Its only been just over 2 weeks, and it feels so long. I guess looking after the kids by myself makes time fly so slow.

Hmm.. what else, oh managed to renew my passport, had my blood test and vaccinated master 2. Otherwise nothing much left to do but food shopping..... oh but i do have a wish list before i head back to the hot sunny humid 2nd home.

wish list ( mainly food, actually its all food HAHA)

1) Dinner at Outback and eat the yummy cheesy chips
2)Kebab
3)Vietnamese Pork Roll (had it and will have it again)
4)Pork Ribs
5)leichhardt italian cafe ( cant remember the name)
6)Hungry Jack( burger king), their pork/bacon selections
7) KFC Chips
8)Chips and Gravy at red lea

Grandma's place

The kids are settling in quite well.So far they are eating and sleeping according to the local time. Aunty S seem to be having fun playing with the kids, which at least release me to do some cleaning up, cooking etc..Internet is quite limited, and writing this entry is done offline...so thats about it.
oh had our first picnic on sunday.it was fun...

Going Home

*hands starting to shake, headache starting to come in, stomach starting to turned upside down, here comes the panic attack!!!*


This is me ... which to my other half considered normal when preparing to travel. Its weird, as some people would think, and to myself, i think its weird too. I have travelled quite a number of places and i should be used to this right?But unfortunately its not that easy, tell it to my head. Eventhough im going back to my country,i still get the panic attack. I guess to explain the reason for my attack simply - afraid that i have not packed properly, afraid of the kids playing up and afraid of having the fear of flying. Yes i have a fear of flying, in such a confined place, seated for the next 8 hours or so.Once i had a feeling that the plane was getting smaller in space.. it was so bad that i was having a really bad panic attack. It was a journey from Singapore to Penang. It was so bad that i was sweating and couldnt wait to get out of the plane. But the only good stuff was the food that was served. it was lou shi fun.

Anyway back to the story, I decided to go back home with the two masters,since a close friend and his brother are making a trip back.Lets just say that it was 8 hours of burning calories for me. Master 2 decided that it was fun running up and down the aisle. Passengers took pity on me and helped me stop him by sticking their hands out to prevent him from running further up.haha..Master 1 decided to hang out with P, who decided to entertain him. sorry P, i know you needed your beauty sleep, but it was great that you were helping me out.I was super tired.I had to tell the stewardess to serve my brunch later as it will be impossible for me to eat. Lucky for me, the two little masters managed to catch a quick wink. I ordered my brunch at 1pm and quickly swallowed up my cheesy omelete and sausage. I didnt want them to wake up during my lunch,and then quickly took a super fast 30 minutes nap before master 1 woke up.( thank goodness he didnt cry when he woke up!)

So that was my flight detail.. not much cause its impossible for me to use the computer.. so its a brief entry
