This is funny. It really made me laugh hard!

7 Reasons Not To Mess With Children

A little girl was talking to her teacher about whales.
The teacher said it was physically impossible for a whale to shallow a human because even though it was a very large mammal, its throat was very small.
The little girl stated that Jonah was swallowed by a whale.
Irritated, the teacher reiterated that a whale could not shallow a human; it was physically impossible.
The little girl said, "When I get to heaven, I will ask Jonah."
The teacher asked, "What if Jonah went to hell?"
The little girl replied, "Then you ask him."


A kindergarten teacher was observing her classroom of children while they were drawing.
She would see each child's work.
As she got to one little girl who was working diligently, she asked what the drawing was.
The girl replied, "I'm drawing God."
The teacher paused and said, "But no one knows what God looks like."
Without missing a beat, or looking up from her drawing, the girl replied, "They will in a minute."


A Sunday school teacher was discussing the Ten Commandments with her five and six years old.
After explaining the commandments to "Honor thy Father and Mother", she asked, "Is there a commandment that teaches us how to treat our brothers and sisters?"
Without missing a beat, one little boy (the oldest of a family) answered, "Thou shall not kill."


One day, a little girl was sitting and watching her mother do the dishes at the kitchen sink.
She suddenly noticed that her mother had several strands of white hair sticking out in contrast on her brunette head.
She looked at her mother and inquisitively asked, "Why are some of your hairs white, Mum?"
Her mother replied, " Well, every time that you do something wrong and make me cry or unhappy, one of my hairs turns white."
The little girl thought about this revelation for a while and then said, "Mummy, how come ALL of grandma's hairs are white?"


The children had all been photographed, and the teacher was trying to persuade them each to buy a copy of the group picture.
"Just think how nice it will be to look at it when you are all grown up and say, 'There's Jennifer, she's a lawyer,' or 'That's Michael, he's a doctor.'
A small voice at the back of the room rang out, "And there's the teacher, she's dead."


A teacher was giving a lesson on the circulation of the blood.
Trying to make the matter clearer, she said, "Now, class, if I stood on my head, the blood as you know, would run into it, and I would turn red in the face."
"Yes," the class said.
"Then why is it that while I am standing upright in the ordinary position the blood doesn't run into my feet?"
A little fellow shouted, "Cause your feet ain't empty."


The children were lined up in the cafeteria of a Catholic elementary school for lunch. At the head of the table was a large pile of apples.
The nun made a note, and posted on the apple tray, "Take only ONE. God is watching."
Moving further along the lunch line, at the other end of the table was a large pile of chocolate chip cookies.
A child had written a note, "Take all you want. God is watching the apples."


Kids are hilarious, aren't they??

Blessed Christmas at FPBC

First, Merry Belated Christmas!! I know I should blog about this earlier.. My bad! So, how did you celebrate your Christmas?

Here is my Christmas experience...

I started off the day by attending church service in the morning. What a great reminder of what Christmas is really all about. It is not about the trees, gifts, decorations or parties. You might be wondering then how does Christmas find its fulfillment and full meaning in that day? Christmas is about celebrating Jesus and God's love for us. It is the best time to share the gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus to others. A time about giving Him to others and serving others for Him.

Literally, Christmas is all about HIM and the best gift of all is Jesus Christ. Thank you Jesus!

At night, we had a potluck dinner at church. Each of us brought a dish of food to be shared among the group. Me and my baby supplied the drinks part. And and and.. it's a blessing for all of us as we get to savor a fat roasted turkey on Christmas Day brought by Sherrie and her husband. We end the amazing night by doing some Christmas caroling.

Here are some pictures from that night...

DELUCCA

*Another late post*

Went to Delucca, the Italian restaurant while in KL with baby, his twin brother Gary and his gf Khai Ven and Daniel just because 2012 was sold out, and since they were already in town. It was very random right!

I love this place! The restaurant's moody interior manages to be classy yet relaxing as flattering low-key lighting soothes the effect everywhere. When it comes to service, you can expect an excellent service as the staffs are eager to please.

My drink : Margarita


Mine as well : Lychee Martini... Makes me wanna have one right now!

Delucca is an absolutely perfect place for catching up with friends as well as a romantic dining with your companion. Moreover, a live jazz band helps heighten the mood further in the evening.

Dining at DELIcious restaurant

Alright this is a late post because I was too lazy to transfer the pictures in the memory card to my laptop. Ya... blame it on my idleness. Hehe

While we were in KL, my sis and her bf brought us to dine in DELIcious restaurant at Jalan Tun Razak along with her friends. Well, it was our first time dining there. We love the place the moment we stepped in. What I like the most is the ambiance. It was great and it is really suitable for couple's romantic dinner as well for a small gathering with friends.

I really love this!

The food portion is really big but it comes with a reasonable price. Worth paying for it.

Honestly, I was more towards the desserts section. I don't know why, but desserts always have some kind of spell on me. Haha! Every time I browse through a menu, I found myself looking at the dessert section first than the main course. And I always have a hard time choosing which to have.

I love the Banana Pudding with Caramel syrup. There is this dessert with some strawberries on top, but I did not write down the name. Heard from my sis it tasted great. Unfortunately, we did not ordered that as we were actually quite full.

Well, I guess I need to try that on the next trip down to KL. Would like to dine here once more!

Hai Nan Town Restaurant

A couple of weeks ago, my relatives were traveling out to Penang from KL. I remembered vividly how often they would travelled to Penang ever since I was young & me and my sisters would get all excited waiting for them to arrive. They will never missed the chance to visit Penang specially on special occasions like Chinese New Year.

They were here for 3 days 2 nights. If my memory serves me right, Saturday was their last day in Penang so we decided to have lunch with them before they depart for their journey. My sister recommended for lunch at Hai Nan Town Restaurant located by the jetty at Weld Quay (between Queen Elizabeth II & ferry terminal). I bet just like me, you will be captivated with the stunning view of the marina, Church Street Pier & QE II as well as the atmosphere of the restaurant itself.

Hai Nan Town Restaurant serves Nyonya & Hainanese delicacies. For your info, the menu here is halal (pork-free). Okay now, time to let the photos do all the talking...

Curry Tumis Fish

Jiu Hu Char

Inchi Kabin

Fried Kangkung with Belacan

Duck with Yam

Mutton Stew

Curry Kapitan

*Sorry, I forgot to snap the Choon Piah (Spring Rolls), Chicken Lobak & Bee Koh Moy*

Overall, I'm satisfied with the food. It does come with authentic nyonya & hainanese taste. For those who are truly looking forward to satisfy their discerning taste buds with typical Nyonya & Hainanese dishes with a good ambience of the restaurant & a nice marina view with sea breeze blowing, this is one you should never missed out!

The details are as follows:

Hai Nan Town Restaurant
Address: 8A, Pengkalan Weld, Penang
Tel: 04-263 8633
Business Hour: 11.30 am - 12 am, closed on Monday

A brief update..

Sorry folks!! Was away for the past few weeks for my training. I'm back now anyway. I've realised I'm becoming idle in updating after been away from the blogging world for these period of time. PROCRASTINATING, procrastinating & procrastinating!! Hmmm..

Anyway, me and my other half went to watch "Storm Warriors II" yesterday night at Gurney Plaza. Quite surprised by the amount of cars in the parking lot. Cinema was quite full as well. I've enjoyed the show but frankly speaking, I still think the first series has a better storyline. Overall, I think Simon Yam has the most dialogue throughout the movie compared to Aaron Kwok & Ekin Cheng. Kinda disappointed and it seems like movies based on comics seems like never ending. So.. let's wait for the third one!

Will update soon with more pictureSsss... Stay tuned!

What a day!

12th November 2009, around 7.30 - 8 p.m :

Car broke down in the middle of a traffic jam. While I was driving back from Queensbay Mall, I've realized that it's getting hot in the car. Hot air is coming out from the air-con, then suddenly I noticed that the needle in my car temperature gauge went up to the red zone and white smoke is coming out from my car hood. Worst thing was I am not only stuck in a traffic jam but I was somewhere near the roundabout. I knew that this was a bad place to pull over when there was just only two lanes to use. *Imagine how congested it would be* On the other hand, I knew that if I did not pull over, my car would really be in a deep trouble.

Without hesitating, I turned off the engine. Put on the hazard lights. Waited for a few minutes to let the car cool down. I panicked because I was scared that the car engine might explode within any seconds. *Wild imagination huh* Called my mum, told her everything and asked have I check and filled in water into the coolant reservoir tank? I said it has already been filled a few weeks ago. I remembered it vividly so does my baby.

Restart the engine and drove my car quickly to a safe spot rather than in a congested road before the temperature gauge gets close to the red zone. I examined the coolant reservoir tank and realized that the water level is quite low. But it's not possible because I knew me and baby just refilled it not long ago. Well, maybe it's possible as well since we used this car quite often.

Anyway, I refilled the tank with water. *it would always be safe to leave a bottle of water in the car, in case of emergency* Waited for a few minutes before restarting the engine. Watch the temperature gauge obsessively in case the needle approaches the red zone again.

But fortunately, everything seems fine on the way back. Thank God! What a day huh!! But it's a great learning experience.

PHOP

Today, I went to Queensbay with my mum and my eldest sis. My sis decided to bring us to Paddington House of Pancakes for lunch. It is my first try, so does my mum. They have a wide variety of mouth-watering pancakes in their menu, from starter to main course to dessert. My immediate response when I browse the menu was I would really like to order each of the pancakes listed there. I really had a hard time making up my mind on which one to order as there are so many choices.

In the end, three of us opt for the new promotion that they have just launched past 2 weeks, PHOP's Around-The-World Set Lunch. I forgot the name of the pancakes (main course) they do offered in the set lunch but it come with a free beverage and a special dessert, PHOP's mini dollar pancake sundae. All these are available for only RM13.80++ per set and it is only available during weekdays from 12 - 3 pm. *I am sorry about this post with no photos because I forgot to recharge my camera's battery. Ugh!!*

I'm amazed by how you can do so much with a simple pancake by adding a twist to it. I guess it's time for some kitchen experiment on this. Overall, a thumbs up!

And I can't wait to savor on more of their pancakes on the next trip with my baby.

My Japs Friends

I have a wonderful, amazing sweet Japanese friends! Never regret the chance of getting to know them as they really plays a part in colouring my life. I hope they would stumble across my blog and read this post, realizing how much I miss them and reminisce those moments that we shared!! I'm glad that all of us get along very well.

I miss my flatmate, Akemi who is a good cook & typically has no temper at all. *I'm serious about the temper thingy* She's just like a sister to me. And my sweet babe Ayumi. Of course Yuki, Hanae, Kyoko, Yumi, Nagisa & Makiko too. They too, are totally like Akemi who shows no temper tantrums in spite of what situations they are facing. They are just so..... calm.

Does all Japanese are trained to be free from temper tantrums?? I wonder how they do that. I guess they really do have a high tolerance level than any of us here.

Fettes Park Baptist Kindy's Concert

A couple of weeks ago, Fettes Park Baptist Kindergarten organized a kindy's concert. I volunteered to be as a helper for the concert. Prior to the concert, I was asked to help to guide the kids in their schoolwork (one of the class) for few days as a chance to get to know the kids and vice versa. It was definitely a few days which I enjoyed! My baby offered his service to be a traffic warden to ease the traffic outside the church on the day of the concert itself as there will be lots of parents showing up to watch their kids performing.

Basically I was there to lend a hand in changing their costumes, tie their hair and applying make-up for the kids. At the same time, I had fun playing with the kids. Though they might be naughty at times and some are uncontrollable *headache*, yet they still look adorable.

A few are my favorite ones.

My no. 1 favorite girl - Jerralyn

Left: Jing Rou..... Right: Ivy



My baby definitely agree with me that this girl is the most adorable.

Part of the performance.

Thumbelina



Goose dance - this is one of the cutest dance

Ashley as the teacup in Beauty & the Beast

Overall, FPBK put up an amazing concert and I can see that all the parents are enjoying the performance and so do I. I bet the parents are surely proud of their children as the kids really did a great job!

I think I would like to be a kindergarten teacher when I am retired from my working world for I believe with kids around, it creates a healthy work environment as you get to be a part of their world of innocence and purity. Besides that, you get a chance to laugh with them, think their way and enjoy their "innocently silly and healthy mischievous' behavior". I trust that this could serves as an effective stress buster! Don't you agree??

Happy 2nd Anniversary My Babykia!!

October 15th 2009 marked our two years of being together as a couple. Instead of the usual ways such as having a romantique candlelight dinner at some enlisted fancy restaurant filled with good food or wine or going for a romantic getaway for the weekend or giving a romantic surprise gift to each other, we decided to celebrate our anniversary in a very different manner by having a food feast at Gurney Drive.

We ordered Asam Laksa, Muar Chee, See Kua Ting, Fried Lok-Lok, Soy Bean while we save the best for the last - Rojak as our dessert. We managed to feast on all these mouth-watering food with the cost of only RM20+. Cheap and fulfilling yet we enjoy it to much extent and loving every moment of it!

I know it may not be the ideal way of celebrating one's anniversary for some women, but I think one need not always have an expensive taste to make your anniversary special. Sometimes we can use romantic and inexpensive ideas for an anniversary to celebrate all these years of togetherness.

In my personal viewpoint, what is right for your anniversary is totally up to you regardless of how you celebrate. An anniversary celebration is one of love and togetherness, a time to honor the love that you both share. I don't mean that anniversary is the only time to honor your blooming love, as everyday is a time to rejoice and commemorate the hills and valleys that you both have quell in your love's journey. But anniversary celebration obviously play some important milestone in your relationship as it profess your allegiance to your partner as well as allows both of you to have a glimpse into the future and a look back into the past.

As you come up with ways to make your anniversary special in any way you can, always remember the most important thing....... enjoy each other's company!!

I love you baby....

Dining at Vintage Bulgaria

Past few weeks ago, my friends (Leng & Jay) invited me and my baby to have dinner at Ingolf. Unfortunately, Ingolf was full so we gotta find some other restaurant to dine. Just a couple of shops away, there was this Bulgarian restaurant. So, we decided to dine there since we never even been to that restaurant even though we passed there so many times.

I actually loves the atmosphere and surrounding as it is really cosy with the warm lighting. And the basement area reminiscent of a Bulgarian cottage. We were seated at the basement area as it is a non-smoking area.

Upon browsing the menu, we do not know what to expect since we were really new to the Bulgarian food. Me and baby decided to ordered "Chicken Stroganov" and Jay ordered some pork ribs which actually turned out really tasty while Leng ordered a basket of potato wedges which only cost RM5.00. Cheap huh!! We ordered the wedges as well in the end. Couldn't resist the temptation.

Perhaps on the next trip, I would opt to try something more unique.
