Jayden's Birthday Party

Jayden ... the birthday boy, also God ma Krystle's little brother. Check out the 'Chiftan' Headgear ... ya lor birthday boy wat ... Thought of NOT shy to request one for Kiersten, but ya lor shy. So, drop the idea.

There you go, Kiersten with mie mie & god ma Krystle!
Whenever we ask Kiersten "Where is God ma?" .. Kiersten will answer "Eh.. eh.." with her hand extending with sign of "where.. where.." then she will answer her own question by moving her hand across imitating a Plane flying across ... her language of saying God ma fly far far away in a plane. And NOT forgetting her sound effects of "Ooooorrrrrr.............." aka the plane sound.
Have to say.. she is quite good wihth her sign language and sound effects that accompany it!

A lady bug balloon specially request from the magician unker

A sword balloon ... just like how the rest of the boys has

Waiting for the "MAGIC SHOW" to start.... damn kan cheong ....

Kiersten was so attentive .... wonder does she understand what the magician unker was saying...

Magician unker is playing a prank to this poor boy..

Kiersten doing her 'ah-neh-neh' dance in front of the mirror ...

Kiersten's 'ah-neh-neh' dance step (for the dance step... i give it an 'ah-neh-neh' colour oso) :
Shake both her hands
shake her head 'robotically' to the left then right (can't demand more from a 16 mths old child's motor skill k.... )
Shake her left leg .. kick, kick, kick
then
Shake her right leg ... kick, kick, kick
and
Follow with a sign off .... march-on-the-spot!

***Don't ask me why march-on-the-spot ... ma ma was the dance choreographer wei .. and she named it 'ah-neh-neh' dance to her. I was also feeling as racist as you guys k. I'm on your side!

Kiersten getting to know 'semalu'

She is showing me more fat-fat "semalu"

Check out the pokok kelapa yang tinggi-tinggi belaka ....

Taking an evening walk with Kiersten back to Yen Yen's house. Though it would be fun for her to have a "nature walk".

There you go.... we found some "semalu" ....

Kiersten is trying to touch on ALL the "semalu" to make them "oi oi" .. :) how cute

"take" .. "take mie mie" "take"... that is what she said whenever she see flowers. But for this, 'ku poh' is the one that "take" for her okay. Well we have been telling her she cannot "take' flowers like ... how ma ma thought her ... yeah ...

FUN stuff Kiersten gets to do ....

She has been eyeing on bikes since the last trip back to Teluk Intan. At last.... kong-kong gave in. Da da is not gonna be very happy with this :( Chris has always against the idea of riding on a bike ... his reason of it is because "bike ... human skin shielding the bike" unlike cars ... "metal is shielding the passenger" .... there you go, his reason ... quite true though. I'm not arguing for this one.

A visit to the Fish Factory in Hutan Melintang

Such serenity and a peaceful evening...
Looking on at the endless wide sea ... (alamak ... Sg. Perak only lar :(

Mie-mie is sooo excited about the boat and kept asking da da to take more pix. But whatta heck.. Kiersten is more excited baout the dead fish lying on the plank ...
(Since Kiersten started calling me 2 mths ago, she sum how had progress from ah...mahh to mie-mie. I have countless time told her it's mummy, but she refused to co-orperate)

This is the fish that caught Kiersten's eye more than the boat k!
check it out ... check it out... now u tell me what is sooo interesting bout it ...

About to go to the Fish Factory ...

Hutan Melintang ... Down memory Lane

 

A boat docked by the jetty ... doing some refurbishing work. Really tough being a fisherman .. gotta tangkap ikan, brave the storms and pirates, and tangkap more ikan ...
This infamous fishing village is where all our FAMOUS FISHBALL & frozen Fish stuff from...

 

 

 

A quiet evening...

 

Lockdridge Law... my cousin. No.. no.. don't get confused by his Glamour name. He is a Chinese... a very Chinese one in fact!

 

 

He must be wondering 'what is his future gonna be like ... a bleak? OR ASS Bleed???

 

Kiersten at URBANSCAPES!

It was all fun for us all! Such a great weekend outing! KL needs this more often to encourage and promotes the ARTsy FARTsy stuff. It should be brought to phenomenal heights. We saw a few cool parents like US :D that brought their kids there. And they are as young as Kiersten!
She had such great fun there...
Checking out the DJ's spinning
Rappers rapping their stuff
Disco lights and its ambient (not too sure bout encouraging this :B
Trash Drummers
Seeing the Ducks for the first time.. she must be wondering why are they in white n NOT the usual yellow ones in her story books.
Seeing Koi
Picking stones and throwing it around (such simple act, but it is such BIG thing to her. She had seen stones before .. ok. Or rather pebbles .. :(
Enjoy lepaking on the grass field
Kinda confussed her a little when we told her we were going to the PARK. She was expecting ppl playing the basketball, football, badminton, see-saw, swing, slides untill she SAW URBANSCAPE kinda PARK! She kept asking for .. 'ball.. ball..'

Every friends that we bump into asked... "is she NOT afraid of the huge crowd and noisy environment?"
My answer to them ... "It is her wildest dream comes true!!!" .. for those who know her.. will know how sociable she is and having all the attention is a definite confidence booster to her.
Yeah, with a bonus of all the beautiful 'che-che' giving kisses to her, Da Da try to "Tumpang Glamour" too... he wish he is the one being KISSED too! Ha Ha...

Sweet Memory of Yeh Yeh

 

 

 

 

A Moment of Silent in Prayer.... AMEN

My memories with Yeh Yeh .......... I wish it can be longer...

Running around the house, the yard, the orchard, the sawmill all day long.
Having fresh coconut water, Yeh Yeh will pluck it from the TALL coconut tree at the back orchard for everyone. Especially when Ku mah is going back to Hong Kong, she will have a sack of coconut to bring home, since it is so expensive in HK.
Eating my favourite 'chut chi' made by Yeh Yeh... his n my BEST OF ALL TIMES FAv.
Going for tea with Yeh Yeh in kopitiam. He will pour some on the saucer for me. I'll then take some biscuits from the shop to eat.
Getting $$$ from Yeh Yeh and run to the Ice kacang shop to buy junks ... all day long
Yeh Yeh's favourite ... Warm stout, chut chi, lo mai chi, nam yu pau, KFC, Ayam goreng, Teh Tarik, and anything sweet. He got sweet tooth!
Following Yeh Yeh to the sawmill at night for his 'Tai Luk Chuk' puff.
Going to Jenderata, Nova Scotia with Yeh Yeh in the Land Rover. He will be driving, and me the Monkey at the back swinging from one end to the other ... imagine the off road into estates... and i was only 6 or 7 years old!
He working, and i'll be playing with the boys, whether it is in the estates or sawmill.
He will givethe roof top a new coat every CNY.
He tend the orchard and his pets ... chicken, geese, duck with Yen Yen.
He speaks his 'Sun Leng Wa' which Chris always imitate. He thinks it sounded like some 'Guai Lou' talking Cantonese. Actually, it is the 'Mak Kar' language (the balded chinese Comedian in Aces goes Places).
Yeh Yeh is the BEST grand pa anyone can ask for.
He never had any temper, he is the coolest and most well mannered man for those who know him.
Yeh Yeh always go out of his way to help anyone that is in need of help.

Yeh Yeh is 93 years old... Strong & healthy, with a clean bill of health records that stunts doctors all the time. His hair was not even a strand of grey.

Having celebrate CNY with him and the recent one,in April... dinner. Having Guinness Stout (Yeh Yeh's Favourite) and cigi (yeah, we got scolded by Yen Yen)with him was all fun and laughter that i can remember. I can still hear myself laughing ... loud and clear too. Oblivious to the fact i guess.
It was then in April, and now in June, everything else changed.

A call from mum on Tues 15/6 in the morning. Mum don't call me in the morning. I first got the news, Yeh Yeh fainted while walking to answer a call. But luckily Yen Yen was fast enough to hold on to him. He did not fall. Yen Yen put him on a chair since he was sort of still conscious. But this time he rolled down from it.

Sam ku went ahead to the clinics around to ask for aid from Doctors. And what she got was ... either they are busy or they have no one to watch over their clinic. How CRUEL. A fallen patient and they can be so cold. Sam ku decided to call for the ambulance from Red Crescent. Yeh Yeh was left on his own wif Yen Yen for almost an hour for an ambulance. Then he arrived in the Hospital at last.

While waiting for the doctors report, i was praying ... don't let it be a stroke.
Mum called. She confirmed, Yeh Yeh had a stroke. He was still very conscious and active. In fact when the doctor asked him whether can he still lift up his left limbs, he insisted he can and he did. But in actual fact he was unable to. His eyes was closed all the time.

He fought a good fight, waited for all to be back, and wish him a last good bye and to send him off ... he was at peace. At least i got to 'fuk si' Yeh Yeh for the last time like how he did for me when i was young.

A small way of me saying 'tor cheh yeh yeh' and 'choi kin ler'... He still managed to wish me & chris 'Sang yi Heng Lung' and Yeh yeh & Yen Yen usual very 'hark hei' self... said 'tor che' to chris n me for visiting him...
i'm lost for words for this two immaculate soul ...

God Bless Yeh Yeh... Peace be with him ... We will meet again ....
