It's Movie Time!!! ... The Chronicls of Narnia ...

Today, I went for movies with the youth .. this is not my 1st time actually .... its the second time .. the 1st was about a month ago ... but today is the 1st time I take bus with them ...


It was quite fun to ride on the public transport .... super convenient .. the Mutiara gals (hehhehe ... since we live in Mutiara Rini ma ...) met in JingA's house 10am ... we walked about 10mins to some bawah pokok (under the tree) to wait for the bus. The bus came before we reached the "bus stop" ... the driver actually waited for us ... hahaha ... this is JB ... bit kampung style ... it was pretty cool when we got on the bus and sms Jk to tell him that we are "picking" him up ... :0 .... get on the same bus as us ....


We met 3 sweeties from Tun Aminah in CT Sq ... they also took bus ... Ping2 was the unofficial group leader there ... hehehehe ... then there was the 2 pretties from Kulai ... hahaha .... also first time for Sarai take public bus ....


It was very encouraging to see KT rushed all the way ... to met us ... kinda sweet la ... cos he want to keep JK company ... initially he was the only male in our group ... so i thought that was so nice of KT to come along ... thanks ... :0 ....


After the movie, we had lunch ... hehehe ... the guys decided to eat else where .... but came back to look for us after they finish .... I left Ct Sq after movies ... the youth hanged out .... but all of them got home safely ... I asked KT to help "watch out" for the gals ... m sure he will ... haha ... so I can go back in peace ... :0 ..


The movie ... it was so good ... have always LOVE Narnia series ... since young .... good to see it big screen .... comforting to know that "Aslan" is always watching over us and helping us ... his voice is soooo comforting ... gentle and assuring .... loving ... that's our Savior .... His grace is ever there for us .. when we do things that we are not suppose to, He will gently ask us "My child, what have you done?" just as how He asked Lucy .. and guide us back to the right path.


He loves us and is always watching over us ... loving us ... waiting for us to talk with Him .... and in our world ... He is known as someone else ... not Aslan .. we need to know who He is ... do you know and recognize Him in your world?

Family Fun Time 2

M back in Jb yesterday evening .... need sometime to wind down .. thoughts is still very much invaded by family time .... ooo .. yes ...i miss them .... miss family ... miss the kids .. hahaha ... all of them ... be it Win or Lyn/Dan or the 3 ... its like I have not spend enough time with them ... guess this is a start of my new journey .. what I had 3 years in TTC was really a bonus given by God for me to enjoy hols with family .....

Anyway ... coming back to the family fun time story ---- :

The kids simply LOVE Malaysia and Sitiawan .... actually m not too sure about no3 .. cos poor thing .. she suffers headache from jetlag and the heat ... and occasionally tummy pain ....

No 1 wants to buy a motorbike now ... no2 wants a laptop ... and no3 .. simple and sweet ... she just wants a glow in the dark tshirt ... :0 ... no 2 wants to buy a net to catch lizard, tag it and bring it back home as a pet! ...

Both boy had a hair cut from a Chinese barber ... hehehhe .... must cut hair Dad insist cos their hair long ... all end up like Dad's hairstyle ... hahaha .... then they went to Spg 3 .... and had great time chasing after the lizard ... practically turn the whole house upside down!!!

We went to the mangrove swamp area in the evening .... quick2 ... before it gets dark ... that was the best for the boys! They love the colorful crabs, monkeys and the feeling I guess ... off cos were had mosquito attack!!!

Then it was off to TB .... the beach was filled with people! Didnt like it cos it was too crowded for me .... off to Lumut for dinner .... KFC! Hahhaha ... I had to bring them to KFC cos the Yvr KFC is NOT nice .... and all of them enjoyed it! Yes ... Msia KFC manyak sedap! ..:) ... No2 asked for roti (again) for dinner .... he wants roti for bf, lunch and dinner!!! No2 had KFC nasi ayam and she finished the whole plate .... :0 ... good to see her eating ....

The next day ... we went to Segari ... Mom had to show us the way ...she's more familiar than me .... the drive was good ... God gave us very clear nice weather ... clear sky .... breezy .... I simply love the drive ... the weather .. the greens ... the nature .. hope that development can keep their hands off nature ... else we will really loose our beautiful kampung .... look what happen to Lumut, TB, Telok Rubiah ...Sitiawan town .... ooo man .... i hate going back cos it's super hot in Sitiawan ...NO trees ... all just buildings and ugly bird's house ....

The drive was longger than expected cos I was not too sure ... u knw Msia's road signs right ... Mom was like "ooo ... look ... a red signboard is coming up ... see what it says .. where to turn" ... hahha ... it says "AWAS! Pandu Perlahan" (Danger! Drive Slow) ... NChia and I naughty la ... we had a good laugh at Mom... who wont .. she super cute la ..all the way she wants to be in charge ... where to turn etc .... the hands will knock on my door ... to tell me that I need to turn to her side.

Anyway ... we reached the Penyu place at last .... the 1st sight that greeted us was an empty beach!!! Yahoooooo!!!! Just like the old days in Telok Rubiah where we get the entire beach to ourselves ... but this beach .. the waves are very high and strong ... no3 loves this the most. Guess all the 3 enjoyed cat and mouse chase with the waves ... and off cos the turtles ... it was quite interesting cos they kept a few turtles at different stage/age .... under the sand ... hatching stage ... babies ...2 years and then ... 3-4yrs .... to show us the process and different stages.

Then we drove the Damai Laut Swiss Garden. NChia's comment was ... oooo never knew my kampung so scenic and beautiful ... hehehhe ... yes .. I live the scenery .... the drive in ... wow ... but can see that they are clearing the mangrove area :( ... Its really really very beautiful resort ... for retreat or honeymoon ....

We came back K.Koh for lunch .... had lu-mian laksa ... which No2 says its not spicy enough for him .. so we ordered another bowl of laksa ... wah ... wack max the laska ... he loves it :0 ... everyone shared ice-kacang ... their 1st time ... they like it too ... but they are looking forward to Chinatown one in Spore ... the ice that melts in your mouth .... soft and high ...

We left Sitiawan after dinner .... stopped by packed white coffee in Bidor cos I was sleepy (superb kopi ... now I really need to stop every time I passby Bidor) .... the drive was good ... had precious time chatting and sharing with NChia :0

Now ... back to reality .... I need to kautim my Sunday's sermon & it's camp next week!!!!!!

Missing all of you family .... even the ones in Yvr who did not come back -) ... miss u Clareen .... (sweet memories of how we enjoyed ourselves 2years ago) miss all my nieces and nephews ... miss Mom and Dad :0 ...

Looking forward year end before we meet again .... :0 ...

Family Fun Time 1

I kiasu ... saw sm blog about the water fun ... I have to blog on thoughts on my family that is visiting from Vancouver ....

Yes, at last, Nee Chia is back ... the last time she's back was when Mom had the surgery ... that she came back alone ... Uncle J handle the kids all by himself and asked Nee Chia to come home to see Mom ... :0 ... that was so supportive and understanding of Mom ...

It was indeed a very rare moment ... having Nee Chia back .... and the kids .. hahaha .... the last we saw them ... they we kids!! all kecik2 ... its sooo good to see them after sooooo many years! Family are God's precious gift to us .... as siblings .... friends ... people that we grew up with ... people that came along side with us in our journey ... people to laugh and cry with .... people to share our burdens with ... people that give us the emotional ... and my family are God's greatest gift to me ... and they are my greatest supporters .... :0 ... all of them ....

I have not bonded much with Nee Chia's 3 kids .. after all, they were very young when I saw them ... and we have not met past 9 years ... but the kids are fun and sporting ... I drove them from the airport since SM's car need to place all the bags .... asked them what is the thing that they must eat or do to make their Malaysian hols complete .... No 1's reply : everything! Hahaha .... off cos he later narrow down to riding on a motorbike .. :0 ... he simply LOVES Malaysia ... he loves the color ... the scenery .... the feel ... even the color of the dirt ... he loves it!!! No 2 : oooo .... he must see a colorful bird ... m like --huh ... where did he get such idea ... he said his Dad ... ooo my where to see the bird??? ... then, along the highway from the airport .. there was a huge billboard with a HUGE colorful bird ... there ... that's it .. his Malaysian experience is made complete!!! hahaha .... No3 : .... i dont know ... :0 ...

SM cooked dinner .... I already noticed that No2 loves cili ... he wacked the asparagus cooked with big prawns and sambal ....

Today ... confirmed ... he loves CILI!!! We mamak for bf .... we ordered tosai .... roti telor, roti sardin, tosai rawa, mi goreng mamak .... fish keropok ... papadam .... and guess what ... all of them LOVES roti canai ... be it sardin or telor ... but telor was a hit! We packed 2 roti telor back ... and No 2 ... ate them ...

It was quite a nice drive back to Sitiawan ... the weather was good ... not too hot ... PTL! When we reached Lekir area ... the kids got excited ... because they saw chickens running wild in the kampungs .... it seems back in Yvr ... each family can only have a max of 5 chicks ... and they Government set aside C20,000 every year to handle abandon chicks/chickens!!! Wah .... why cant they just kill the chickens to cook chicken curry or ang chew mi suah?

When we reached sis' hse .. they are so excited cos they are not only dogs around .. LOTS of lizards and FROG!! Eeeeeeee ..... kids are excited ... :0 ...

Dinner was at Ah Hing ... as we pulled into Ah Hing .. they were so surprise that the building is actually a restaurant ... hahaha ... No2 asked .... are we having roti telor for dinner ... hahahha .... faint! I say no ... we are having a Chinese dinner ... his reply .... aaawww ... but I want a Malaysian dinner not Chinese food! hahahha ... tats so true .. after all, he eats Chinese food all the time cooked by his Mom ...

Anyway .. the wedding dinner ... it was a huge gathering of the Yu clan ... near and far came ... typical Sitiawan dinner ... the KaraOK .... sound system .... blasting!!! Our ears needed a break and rest after the dinner! To Mom ... the sound level was just right!!! hahhaha :0 ...

The kids was tired but very well behaved ... they followed us around as we say Hi to relatives ... they waved at the relatives as gesture of Hello ... after all, its no point talking cos it was so noisy!

By the kids came back to sister's hse ... they are tired ... they all zzz in Hea's room .... while I parked myself in the room with the old grandmother's bed ... perhaps this bed is easily 70yrs old... have to take pix of it later ...

Now ... I need to return the mouse to Vincent .... I forgot to bring mine with me ...

Photos ... later .. another time ....

Tats all for now ....
