NEW YEAR EVE'S BASH!

TONIGHT IS THE COUNTDOWN TO 2009!!!
What is your program for tonite? What is mine? I do not have any plans yet er... so far, no invitations to party & dance ler.. (no par tei) no sprawling on the floor... no balloons bashing, no shrieking and yellings... no shouting of 10, 9, 8, 7.......err...

It is 12.14pm now... quiet in the house, the fellas are still in dreamland... perhaps they want to reserve energy for tonite's bashing of countdown...

Well, I guess it is ALL IN THE FAMILY affair tonight........fellas, let us get the bottles ready....

whoa..whoa!!
hold on to that, Andy!
LEAVE SOME FOR TONIGHT,

CHRISTMAS EVE's DINNER in Sushi Restaurant. It is Fernie's idea, she has been harping about it for the past few days... and since today is a special day, I willingly obliged. Japanese food is not something I really fancy, once awhile is alright but for my kids, they love it very much.

we couldn't get the seats near to the "revolving" sushi
we ended up ordering from the menu...

Aaron has one "free coupon"

Which one to take first ah??
The grilled eel was nice...actually..

OOPS...ITS 12AM NOW

MERRY CHRISTMAS TO YOU ALL!!

We Welcome You, Jingle Bell....

TWO DAYS AGO, on 20th December, 2008 approx. 6.30pm, a new member joined us in this household.... He is none other than Jingle Bell....
Why Jingle Bell?? When we carried him to our car, a song was playing on the radio.... guess what? Yes, Jingle Bell, Jingle Bell, jingle all the way.... oh what fun it is to ride... la la la la la la.....
So Jingle Bell he is, long body, long name....... he he ...

The way he walks reminds me of a reindeer too...
he sort of jingles, skips, then jingles...

Actually he is a dashchund...
and a dashchund he is....
welcome to our home,
JINGLE BELL!

Superb Games In Badminton Super Series

WOW..WOW... OUR BADMINTON CHAMPIONS!

Today or should I say yesterday, it was a very (3x) exciting afternoon for me...and for the rest of the badminton fans in Malaysia, I guess....
For the first time, Malaysia managed to snitch three championship trophies in a row.... Oh, by the way, I am talking about the Super Series Badminton held in Kota Kinabalu, Sabah....

I was glued to my sofa for few hours continously... (exaggerating a bit la)
First match was Lee Chong Wei... won Peter Gade... straight sets... (wa lau..eh...)
Second match were Koo Kien Keat and Tan Boon Heong against the Korean pair... (smashing!)
Third match were ladies' doubles Pei Ty and Ee Hui against Indonesia pair ... (GREAT!)
All straight sets leh...

They were so "geng" this time.... maybe it was our homeground? No la.. I think they played perfectly well today.... home ground actually more pressured, don't you think so? How do they tackle the mental stress, I wonder, so noisy with all the wooo wooo....waaaa waaa.. haiyoh, they don't shiver meh? Geng, very geng....

Oh, why am I so excited about that???? Crazy or not, I am going to watch the repeats again in Astro 816 this evening.. again and again if time permits....

By the way, got free holiday for us or not???? Dream first.. *yawn*

PENANG FERRY

TO MAINLAND BY FERRYWe took a ferry across the sea this time, not by the Penang Bridge... Fernie said it was the first time for her, she was worried about being sea sick before we boarded the ferry... no such thing, it was a very breezy ride across, just 15 minutes and we reached the mainland....

cars onto the ferry...

I saw this Star Cruise ship half way..
