We finally visited the newly opened Jusco. It is situated next to Tesco. Don’t think they will become competitors coz they cater for totally difference type of customers. To me, the best things about the new Jusco is they have varieties of restaurant. I went with my children last Sunday so we just had Burger Kings. Next trip, the children stay home and I want to try their steamboat. 
We were surprised to find a community library in the newly opened Jusco. The kids have better place to hang out than the playground now and it is FOC! Unfortunately, they have only a handful of English books. Anyway, better than no library at all. 
And getting organic vegetables for my baby is nearer now. I don’t have to drive all the way to Bukit Beruang; the old Jusco to buy organic broccoli and spinach for my baby.
We are attending yet another wedding of a close relative this Sunday. This time, the wedding dinner will be held in Holiday Inn Hotel. I am surely attending it. Never step foot in Holiday Inn before and I heard that their food is nice. Since my Baby can sit now, I hope I can get a baby chair for him and feed him solid throughout the dinner and I can save my boobs from public viewing. 
I also found out that the bride’s MIL has the same surname as me. I wonder whether we are related. There is not many “Soo” around. The bride is hubby’s niece. I wonder whether she is the one that works in Dubai. We will know soon. Hmm…I wonder whether she will go for the Cancun Destination Wedding.
One of our apartments has been vacant since beginning this month. We are praying that it will be occupied again soon. If not, we have to fork out our own pocket money to pay for the home loan. 
So, for the time being, anyone needs a place to stay when you come to Melaka, give us a ring at 012-2544606 (David Bong). We are charging only RM120/day for 3 rooms apartment fully furnished with bed and mattresses, study table, cupboard, air-cond, water heater, washing machine, TV, sofa, dining table and a brand new fridge.
At first I thought my 6yo art class starts at 5pm. Only realised that it only starts at 5.30pm when we were about to leave the house. After sending her to art class, my 5yo n I went to Tesco for a free photo shoot. You can get a free 4R photo for every purchase of RM50 above in a single receipt. We found a RM50++ receipt in the shopping cart that we took! PTL! So instead of shopping to get the RM50 receipt, we went to the photo shoot first. Then a lady cut queue during out turn to choose for the photo to print and she took such a long time to choose her baby’s photo so we went shopping first thinking that I need to leave Tesco by 6.50pm and I only have 30 mins to shop for rice and veggie. Yup! I thought my 6yo art class ends at 7pm instead of 7.30pm. I was so blur!
In the midst of shopping, I lost my 5yo girl because this girl of mine kept lagging behind instead of following me closely. She often does that we go shopping! This is the 2nd time I lost her in the supermarket. I told myself, no more bringing her shopping all alone with me anymore. Thank God the Tesco staff found her crying looking for me. Met her near the check out counter when I was going to the information counter to ask for help. I was so worried that she goes out all by herself to the car park. She did that the last time I lost her; she went to look for me at the car.
Once I found her, I went to pay for my shopping items and rush to fetch my 6yo and my 7mo baby started to whine coz he is hungry and sleepy. On the way to fetch my 6yo then only I realised that her class ends at 7.30pm. I used the time to breastfeeding my baby at the car park.
The price stated the price tag is not the same as the price scanned by their barcode scanners. This has happened many times; not only to me but to others too. For example, the price tag shows the price at RM2.69 and when paying the actual price on the bill will be RM2.99. And this item is not under the member price. This is one of the reasons why many did not shop in Giant. It happened to me a few days ago too. But I was in a hurry and my baby sitting in my ring sling is grumpy already so I just let it go. If not, I will sure claim my money back.
“We might be able to go somewhere this October.” hubby said. I am so happy to hear that. This would mean that we would have our family vacation soon. Riviera Maya sounds nice but the time has not come yet for us to enjoy staying at Azul Beach Hotel Resort with its many family-friendly amenities. We will settle for local holiday vacation for the time being. I was thinking of going to Genting Highland again coz they have the indoor swimming pool that comes with very warm water; suitable for my baby. If we go to PD, I don’t think I will let my baby take a deep in their swimming pool, it will be freezing cold for him. Furthermore, I have vouchers to stay in First World Hotel for free. Hmmm…I wonder whether I can get free ticket to the theme park too.
At this moment in time, I dare not plan for any family vacation yet. With the H1N1 Influenza, my health condition and our cars that are not fit for outstation traveling and inconsistent income, we will just stay at home until we bid farewell to year 2009. Kuching is good enough for this year. I would love to go to Riveria Maya and stay in Azul Beach Hotel Resort which offers families a new way to vacation. Parents are pampered with adult-sized indulgences as well as extras like strollers, cribs, baby milk heaters, beach games, coloring books, refrigerators for milk and medicines, and even kid-sized bathrobes. But that have to wait till next year if we have the means to go there.
I am back from my holiday in Kuching but I have so much to do at home from today onwards. Came home to a dusty floor, clothes still intact to the cloth hanger on the table which need to be folded, hubby’s working clothes and children kindy uniform to iron, dirty cloths to wash and a cranky lil baby to attend to coz he has runny nose; souvenir from his 2yo cousin. No time for any televisions show.
How I wish the maid is here with me now! She has gone to be with my MIL in KL for 2 weeks provided there is no further delay to the arrival of the BIL’s new maid. Well, if I can survive this 2 weeks, no problem when she goes home for a month. My challenge begins today.
So far, as at 11.38pm, first batch of laundry already being washed and hubby’s working shirt has been ironed and I managed to finally get my cranky baby to sleep in the Sarong while typing this post. Now I need to go soak my 2nd batch of laundry.
How’s my Kuching trip? Well, I shall blog about it soon when I can find the time. Sure can one coz I have 13 assignments to complete! 
Finally the day that all of us have been waiting for is just a few hours away. We will be leaving Melaka by 7am tomorrow to catch the 9ish flight to Kuching to meet my beloved sister and her family. This will be my first time to Kuching but not Sarawak. I have been to Sibu on mission trip before I got married. Well, the most excited people in this coming trip are my children. Their dreams come true; flying in an airplane. I just hope that they will behave well in the plane and no one wants to go pooping during that 2 hours flight especially my baby but I doubt so. I wonder whether they have changing table for baby; if not how am I going to change my baby’s diaper?
I need to start packing today and am bringing the minimum clothing or else I will surely need company like Boston Moving Company to transport our luggage and boxes to the airport. Thank God my sister has a 2yo so I can borrow from her the cloth nappy. I wonder whether she still have some M size disposable diapers; if yes even better because can save more space in the luggage bag for other stuff like my pizza ingredient (my sister wanted me to bake pizza for her!), cloth diapers, rambutan, Nyonya Chang, Soy Sauce and some toys to keep my children occupied during the flight.
I have a pair of expensive ears. Yes! That is what I call my ears. They are expensive not because I went for plastic surgery to make it perfect but my ears can only accept gold earrings or earrings made from dried garlic stems; just a stick to poke through the hole. I use this as earrings when I was in school because we are not allowed to wear fancy designer jewelry in school.
If I tried using earrings that is not made of gold or plants, my ears will swell. Just the other day, my girl asked me to try on my sister’s silver coated earrings. A few minutes after taking it out, the hole started to feel pain and watery. Due to this sensitiveness, I ended up not wearing any earrings at all.
