A little ~ heartbroken scene.

Grandma regularly will call me in the evening, updating families stuff. Her voice sounds really heartbreaking today. She accidentally washed Vince's jeans not knowing that Vince's mobile phone (NEW- present from Dad) was still in the pocket.
As she told Vince, well he just gazed at her sadly. Not a word from his mouth. Didn't even finish his lunch. Straight away walk to his bed. I never thought that Vince just walk away inaudibly, usually he will throw his tantrum.
Who's to blame? Grandma is just doing the laundry. Checked pants but well accident does happen sometimes.Vince? Guess he forgets his phone in his pants. Who doesn't forget? Till the phone rings .. Duh~
Just hope that the phone can be fix~

Why do we Love Kids?


A little boy was doing his math homework. He said to himself, "Two plus five, that son of a bitch is seven.

Three plus six, that son of a bitch is nine...." His mother heard what he was saying and gasped, "What are you doing?"

The little boy answered, "I'm doing my math homework, Mum." "And this is how your teacher taught you to do it?" the mother asked.

"Yes," he answered.

Infuriated, the mother asked the teacher the next day, "What are you teaching my son in math?"

The teacher replied, "Right now, we are learning addition." The mother asked, "And are you teaching them to say two plus two, that son of a bitch is four?"

After the teacher stopped laughing, she answered, "What I taught them was, two plus two, THE SUM OF WHICH, is four."

Still learning.......

This is my first draft of my gif. file pic.

Aquaculture - Hatchery

Arrived at around 7am at my brother-in- law's aquaculture. It's kinda fun to be greet by few kids (goats) around. Look how small they are.

Few kilos of shrimp waiting to be weigh.

The actual size of the shrimp.

Add, Chinese Wine + Ginger + live shrimp
= DELICIOUS FOOD!

My niece, Adeline. Waiting for more shrimp to be caught!



Early on that day, I guess around 6 am. Kent woke me up. And took me for a ride on the motorcycle to his brother estate where the hatchery is. The view was nice too bad I did not take any pictures of it. The river beside the estate are full of monkeys and stork. Its not that kind of panorama that I can get to view everyday. Everything looks so peaceful and relaxing. The sound of the stream is just so right. The sun looks great that day.

Yeah it was fun to play with the children and doggies, kids chasing beside beside the river. While the adults busy with the catching. Me? Observing every details that I want to see.

I visit the veggie farm as well. Get to pick few spinach and Kai Lan. haha....... Oh and coconut too.

I recall few years ago, there was once my mother in law took and show me to the rubber estate. Never get to go into a rubber estate before and that was my first time. And I trust that will be my first and last visit. As I enter the estate, I presume not more than few seconds, my hands and legs were covered with mosquitoes. I can't even spot own my skin! It’s an unbelievable sight! And the itchiness last for a week. The best thing was learning how to taper a Rubber tree and to see the rest of the process. Used to only read it in primary school never thought I will get that close to see the it.


The estate visit did taught me a lot. I had fun with my nephews and nieces. The taste of the veggies and coconuts. The shrimp. It’s just simply lovely!

TRAGIC week!

It isn’t a good week, my mother-in-law passed away on the 15th March 2007. I never thought that she would die that early. She was only 59. It’s a tragic. I and Kent did not get to meet up her for the last time. We were rushing home after we heard that she was in a severe condition in ICU. While on our way back (driving in a mind-boggling speed of 160-180 km/hour) she passed away at the time 3.05 p.m. We were like an hour away from reaching Sitiawan.

As I step down from my car (Sitiawan home), her body arrived at the same time. I can’t believe my eyes to see her deceased body was wrapped with the hospital blanket. I can’t stop crying. Hubby was extremely heartbreaking and depressing. I never saw him that way since I know him. He loves his mom very much. And she loved us very much too.

The environment was so strange. It was not as usual. Usually when I get back home all my nephews and nieces (age 1-9, all 9) will come running towards me to greet me. But it’s totally strange and cold that day. Everyone was weeping, screaming and gloomy. Even the children were sobbing terribly. The children knew that they will no longer see their grandmother in the future. At that instant I knew that there will be a drastically change!

The undertaker arrived. Me and my sister in-law cleaned her and dressed her up before placing her in her casket. I never thought that I was that fearless to lay a hand on her but I did. I am proud of my self to do all those work as I know that if I don’t I will never get the chance to be a good daughter-in-law. I will no longer have the chance to show it to her.

The memorial service lasts for 3 days and she was then buried on the 17th March 2007. On the 7th day (21st March 2007) which is today. After her death we have to make offerings. Chinese do believe that the soul of a dead person will come back after 7 days to visit the family members.

Yesterday, my sister called me that she and her boyfriend have Dengue fever and need to be admitted hospital immediately. She was terrified as I was not there with her (KL). She has no clue what she was going to do next. I was terrified too. Dengue fever can kill. I immediately packed my stuff and leave. Kent drives me back to KL.

As I reached the hospital, I am glad that my sister is all right however Chee Leong is in a serious condition. He looks so pale and thin. Both of them have had fever a week ago. They only realized and confirmed that they have Dengue after the blood test and long fever.

Today, Hubby drives back to Sitiawan to make offering to his mother. While I stay back at the hospital taking care my sister. It ain’t a good week. I am not glad.. It’s awful! I feel bad for not going back with Kent. There is always the guilt.

**** Its sad that my children have no grandmother! :'(
