Family Outing @ Taiping Zoo.......

After months of reading and training, we've decided to take the boys to the zoo.....JD could experience his first pratical training in animals....hahahaha.....




* The boys just awake from their beauty sleep......we start the journey at 730am......




* JS as excited as ever....I doubt he has any idea what was going on that day.........




* JD being his usual self.......happy sunshine boy....hehehe

* PW still half awake..........posing with the boys.......

* One of JD's favourite.......LIONS.....too bad the lion died and left lioness there....I swear the zoo was playing audio playback of the lion's roar everytime the mini train passes.......

* PW, JD and the rabbits..........

* Like father like son.........hahahaha

* I was so freaking tired that day.....and I got to work the follow day too....month end closing ar..........

* All worth it...........

* My boys were so coorperative that day........laugher and smiles are priceless......if that's the price I got to pay for them to be happy, let be it....hehehe lack of sleep is not an issue......have a great week ahead peps.........

A Lesson in Vietnamese Food.........

While our countrymen were marching for a fair election, the Lims were in Ipoh chilling out......To be franked I'm abit embarassed because I could not make it to the rally.....nevertheless, I will try my best to make an effort to support the agenda........monetary donation, wearing the right colour code, spreading messages etc......

Back to the main topic of the day......JieJie always comes up with funny ideas for food......this time, we're trying Vietnamese cuisine........Gone through some postings on Vnam Restaurant @ Ipoh thus decided to give it a shot.............



* We need him in this position before we could dine.........




* TiTi is behaving way way wayyyyyy better than JD during dinner......guess JieJie's military style did work after all.......




* Everyone was up and ready to give dinner a go.................

* First up...Lemon-Ginger Tea.............OMG......I'll die if you make me drink more........

* Next, fried popiah to start the meal..............

* Ahhhhh, that's more I like it.....but before I could start, I was told that we'll have to fold our own food........

* We were all given a crash course on how to fold our own popiah.......Did I ever shared a lil about my retarded talent in handwork?

* While the rest of the gang were busy paying attention to the teaching, I've already started rolling......I'm not particularly fond of being told what to do.....I just need to do things MY WAY.........

* Either My way or the highway.........in this case, I'm taking the highway.......

* I don't even feel like eating my dinner........huhuhu...lucky enough, we ordered seperate maincourse each.........

* No more popiah for a very long time.....unless if they're made ready to eat........

* My main course.......looks nice, taste??? Not to my liking...while the others had better main course, I screwed up mine yet again and started to dig my chopsticks into other's bowl.....hahaha....you know the feeling...."How come that looks better than mine moment".....Have to thank JieFu for paying the tab.......

* Yet another join-birdday........This time, for Papa, MW & KitKit.........JieJie was spot-on for once.....loved the cake...hehehe tqtq......

* JD was there to rehearse for his own Bday next month......hehehehe

* I end my weekend with my favourite drink (Kenny's treat that night)....hehehehe......I better start saving every penny I have because I'll be paying my housing loan this month.......have a great week peps.....I know I'll be having a pretty busy one.......^_^.....

Back to My Regular Weekend........

My definition of a regular weekend would be to chill with my family, doing house chores and not to forget a couple of hours of ME-TIME be it golf or some other stuff.......

I was packed with wedding invites for the past weeks........more critical of all would be one particular weekend which I named the Wedding Weekend......4 weddings in 2 days......I could only attend 2 of those sadly to day due to the different locations and time.......

After all the blissful wedding dinners, I took a month off from wedding bells and roll back to my old weekend routine........



* This was me, chilling at home........before JD comes and poke my nose and eyes.......




* My buddy getting married......huhuhu how touching.........




* Congratulations Mr. & Mrs. Ho................

* Another one belongs to another ol' friend of mine.....we haven't meet each other for almost a decade....but with the power of Facebook, anything is possible......I've always love the food in a Malay wedding........

* My ol' buddy and his bride.........Tahniah..............

* PW decided to tag along too.....partly because of the food I kid you not.....hahahaha....

* It has been more than 3 months since I last chilled in my beloved shopping mall....Queensbay.....took the gang over this weekend for dinner and a brief groceries shopping......

* Since JS took the space in JD's stroller, I'll have to be the part time ride for my elder boy......he tends to run alot, so battery runs out pretty quick too.......

* Curiousity doesn't die off even when his battery did......always wanted to touch anything near to him........just being a kid........

* With that I would conclude My Regular Weekend......with my month end sales closing over, let me make time to bring the kids to the Zoo......JD has been taught to identity a wide range of animals now.......let Daddy bring him to the Zoo for some real life lesson.....flash cards could be boring at times.....hehehe.....have a great week ahead people......

Happy Father's Day...........

My 2nd Father's Day.....double the joy..........Even with the extra hours of feeding, entertaining my lil bosses at home, it's all well worth it.............



* My boys and I...............




* JD being the loving brother..................




* My 2nd Junior.......lil baby JS...........

* And JD is growing up so quick now........I'm happy as I've been there all along.......perfectly timed schedule between work and family...........

* Papa & Mama came over last weekend for Father's Day.....while the kids were getting ready for our outing, I did something very WRONG......hahahaha

* I'm flexible no more.......hahahaha......even my buttock is aching now....ohhh my.....bad call....hahahaha

* We ended our dinner on Sunday night @ Nando's.......well after the seafood dinner @ Bt. Tambun and not to forget our Roasted Duck lunch @ Lunas.....hehehee........




* Me mocking JD's 'cute cute face'.....hahahahaha......Have a great week ahead peps.........

I Survived India............

Unforgettable is the only word I'll use to describe my short stint in Chennai, India........I've been deligently attending Mandarin classes for a couple of weeks now but then, my next destination is the exact contras from what I've expected.......

INDIA???? WHAT CAN I DO IN INDIA??? hahahaha don't get me wrong, 1Billion people couldn't be that wrong right? One of the oldest civilization, the oldest religion in the world.....what else can I say.....EXOTIC.......



* But why am I not as excited as my previous trips?? Let me elaborate......




* I will not bore you guys to death with work related stuff....instead, I'll only talk about the cool stuff.......not that cool anyway....hahaha




* First of all, if you think Malaysia is hot, THINK AGAIN.....with an average day reaching 40 degree celcius, back home feels like Cameron Highlands......

* The auto we used to see in those Tamil/Hindi movies.....saw that alot in the Amazing Races too......but never would I try getting one of those.....any Indian cabbies is more than qualified to race alongside Jensen Button.....

* The buzzling city life with a lil classical touch.......sorry I rephrase.....the buzzling city life with a hell lof of the classical touch....the nearest KFC is an hour drive from my hotel.....ohhhh MYYYY hahahaha.......

* Nothing is wrong with the bus's suspensions........it was purely overloaded......




* And here comes the good looking model........

* Bargaining is not that hard either.....just go for 50% with the price offered......please bear in mind, they're making a living too.......50% pretty reasonable....

* The building structure of the Hindu temples will definitely awe most of the visitors......

* We don't get these local 7-11 back home..........

* Most of the food here are edible (hotels & good restaurants ONLY).....but some can be extremely SPICY..........

* Since there's no 7-11 or any other shops around the hotel, the hotel chauffeur took us to the local liquor store......no running bill, no happy hour rate, no tibbits.......purely cash and carry.....on top of that, alot of pushing from the local dudes.....hahahaha

* My colleagues and I killed time with these in the hotel room from 8pm......pubs would be 60km from my hotel....I'm not interested to try neither......maybe someone else could, then please write me a field report....hehehehe

* Best dinner during the entire trip.....ma favourite.......nyuuuummmmmmmm~~~

* I hate long transit........since one of us do not have access to the VIP lounge, I've decided to stick with them and sleep on the couch....hahaha.......with that, I conclude my short trip to the place I do not look forward to go again......Exotic India.....Don't get me wrong, I'm more a beach boy than a city dude......hahahaha have a blasting week peps....
