Just Another Day

Here is what a bag of chips, (courtesy of Kevin) will do to these fellow monkees...


CHIMPZ ATTACK!!!!!






And this is what will happen when Dad decides to be in IDLE mode...

MOMZ ATTACK!!!

Mom said, 'Really look like a MAD-MAN!'

Still, I think the best looking specimen to wear the wig is Judith's teddy!

It's My 8th Wedding Anniversary!!!

For Hubby,

It's our 8th Wedding Anniversary today,
So fast it's been 8 when some people think no way,
We've been stuck and unstuck like clay,
But we've been holding on, we are indeed OKAY.

Over the years there's been laughter and tears,
Without them, our moments won't be so clear
Without love, nothing will compare to what's dear
Tolerance and honesty is important as it is to lend an ear.




Understanding is quite a long and big word,
Using it and placing it into our lives saves hurt.
Listening is always the hardest part,
No matter what, do what's best from the heart.

I don't need celebrating at a biggie diner,
It's alright I'm up for a cuppa,
Even if it's mamak, the choice is yet bolder,
Wherever it is, you're there my hubba hubba.




Through this 8 years we've been through,
Ups and downs, argues isn't an issue,
There's more to learn more life to pursue
I need you, you need me to lean-to.

There's so much to say so much to express,
When we say we have 3 kids, no one would have guessed,
Families and friends with support we are blessed,
Love is the greatest, one thing we possess.




With 3 little devilish kids at hand
What comes later is never planned
Our kids have never play the what's on demand
Thou, they stay close just like a wristband

Hubby you've been a friend and always near
So, on this special day my dear
I wanna tell you, you're being loved
By me, your wife, you I deserve.

Implanon Day!

Oh dear. I've been down with some viral infection and IBS (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) since last week but all well now. What's left is the cold bug which makes my voice creepily sexy in a way.


THE MORNING

Yesterday, I went and remove my old Implanon and reinsert a brand new one. Implanon, a contraceptive birth control, is a single-rod (like a cotton bud) that is inserted under the skin at the upper arm. It can last over a period of 3 years depending on each individual plus it's reversible and it's one of the most effective birth control available.



This is before the removal where it's in normal mode..

You see what I see? Can you see the tiny rod there?

This is what the rod looks like inside-out! I think it looks like a lollipop stick. Think of me when you have your CHUPS ya!

Need not imagine.. I cropped it for you..

Looks scary and it is because you can touch and feel it.. it's always there unlike pills and rubbers.. where sometimes you tend to rely and forget

So, I went to the gynae, thank goodness he cut the same scar so I don't need anymore marks..

It's pretty bruised but healing just fine.. no heavy lifts.. no rubbing... no pressure for a week!

THE NIGHT

Sayed, Jake's ex-college mate who is from Maldives, whom studied in Brisbane, stopped by KL for a visit. We wanted to spice him with Thai Food but since we didn't have enough time, we settled at Sushi King. Anyway, hub said it's not the place, but it's the comfy place to have a decent chat.

Hubby and Sayed, it's been almost 4 years since we last saw Sayed..
Hub went bald and Sayed grew a goaty.. LOL!

Bon Odori 2009

Hey ya.. sorry that I haven't upload pictures taken from the 33rd Bon Odori last Saturday which was held at the Panasonic Sports Complex in Shah Alam. I was down and am still down with some viral infection.. there's the sore throat thankfully gone, the cough, the abdominal pain that visits me every other minute and the cold sweat which are all symptoms of the common cold. PHEW~

Anyway, the Bon Odori festival was an eye-opening. Both pros and cons. There were so many people and mostly were Malaysians' wannabes. Arrgh kinda heart wrenching to see people ignore the policy of 'Strictly No Cosplay' and 'Strictly No High Heels'. They must be either deaf or blind. Then, they should have shown some respect to the culture. Why on earth should you wear kimono with heels or worse, sneakers!

Lots of genuine kimono-clad folks. They are so sweet and very humble. Very family oriented. I see them putting on a great show both on and off stage unlike the copycats who I think put off the genuine ones. Food was great but the queue was terrible. What's so nice about the ice-shaving dessert anyway? Well, my kids love Japanese food. Ouch for our pockets. Hub said we spent almost RM200 for food and drinks.

It was also my first experience visiting a portable loo. Funny, it was cleaner than MidValley's weekend loo. But I felt stupid because Judith and I were scrambling inside this tiny cubicle thinking how to use the flush and the water sink. So, I spent some time reading the manual. LOL!

Let's get to the pictures!!!!

We parked very far away (Malay graveyard); we walked very very far

Kids seem to be loving it

First stop was YOKOMON ice-cream for the kids.. RM5 per cup.

Snacks for kids for later on


We sat in front of the flag poles and glued to it because it was jamming with humans

FOOD....

Unagi Sensei

THE CROWD....

Little boy sipping on Carlsberg


New trend.. band-aid on the nose






Everyone wants a piece of the ice-shaving action

THE STAGE....

Practice makes perfect



Tick Tock


When night falls


Look at the human fans and the hand fans.. woo hoo everyone was dancing

THE REAL DEAL....



THE OTHERS....



THE Right Kind of WANNABES....

THE One That Everyone Thought Was a Wannabe But Was The Real Deal

THE Wrong Kind of Wrong.... heels + fashion + hair

It was beginning to smoked. Perhaps using too much of charcoal as the cooking was freshly done then and there.




Before we left, I managed to get a picture with a few young kimono-clad girls. They weren't really friendly haha...

Kids happy with their lights... looks like Joe's eyes are glowing evilly.

We'll go again next year..hopefully, it'll be a better experience. I might get into the mood to wear a kimono top as well. I don't think I can stand the heat wearing a fully clad kimono. I don't know how they do it therefore, I salute those who wore it from top to bottom but the girls' makeup were definitely moving towards gravity.
