The Chinese New Year Journey Down South

TIME TO REPORT BACK TO WORK AFTER THE FESTIVE SEASON....

After a long break, it is going down south again, we need to start work in order to bring food on the table.  Oh, not me though, I have my share of working already for the past thirty years or more.  It is time for me to sit back and see others work instead.  Aha.... no, I am just kidding...... Of course, I still work, only difference is that now there is no more boss hovering behind me, I am a so-called Home Minister or in other words a "Housemaid?"  LOL...  I am paid to manage the homes, I clean, I mop, I wash, I cook... these are endless work which I do not really like but have to....  The only consolation is that I can do at my own pace and time and get paid regardless... LOL.....

So... here I am with my Two Bosses... wherever they go, I follow.... This time I do not have to drive, I just have to sit back and relax for a few hours journey.   We stopped in Sg. Buloh for a break and we went to take the most expensive food court meal we ever had in our whole life!  Quote from son.
The Trio going on the journey with us.... 

Wherever they go, I just follow.... 
Stopped for a break in Sg Buloh corner coffeeshop...and had these....
And we also ordered this...
Fresh Garoupa with noodles...
Each of us ordered a bowl.... 
And a big bowl of Fish Balls.... 
For five bowls of noodles plus a bowl of Fish Head and Fish Balls, 
the bill came to a whooping RM160!
Believe it or not, it is true.... 
The lady was laughing when she collected the money but certainly not us... 
Well, I say it again... must be the Chinese New Year prices...
Then we proceeded on our journey after the "heavy" lunch.... 
Raining at certain parts...
Anyway, all was good, Thank God...
We reached our destination around 7pm just in time for dinner!

  5. I dis not know you had taken a job. But now you can choose your hours, and that is great! Here, we call these house tenders maids. One of my good friends does this. You can make pretty good money, and it is a good job for retired people. Being helpful is always good!

Three Hours City Tour At Ensenada, Mexico

A THREE HOURS CITY TOUR when we embarked in Mexico on the second morning.   My sister booked the three hours city tour in Ensenada, Mexico, a van came to pick us up from the port.  Ensenada is the border of Mexico and it reminds me of Hatyai, a border town too between Malaysia and Thailand.  We were taken to a shopping area where we must haggle for the goods.  LOL.. Yes, something common in my own country... Anyway, we did not buy anything for ourselves... just a wooden handmade truck for my grandson which cost $8usd.   Nothing much to shout about on this three hours excursion, I was so sleepy on the way back to the ship that I dozed off and only awaken when we were driven through the town.  All in all, I just wanted to step onto Mexican soil and I would give this a miss if I were to go on this Mexico cruise again.  LOL... At the open area shopping walking towards the Blowhole... This is La Bufadora Blowhole, an amazing natural marine geyser that is capable of shooting water over 60 fe

Exploring The Sea Cruise Royal Caribbean

CRUISING ALONG.... Once we deposited our bags in our cabins, we had our buffet meal at the Hammerjack restaurant and exactly at 4pm, we heard a loud Horn signal...  ITS TIME TO SAIL ALONG THE PACIFIC OCEAN! And while the ship started to sail, we humans started to walk and explore.... to familarize ourselves inside the ship....  Elevators on each side of the ship....  Making my mark....  On another side....  We walked along to check out our food outlets... This Promenade Cafe  had became our regular joint .... We like to sit there enjoying our hot drinks and desserts... Free flow of food day and night.... Passing through the bars to the casino... The casino will open only when the ship is in international waters...  At one of the jackpot machines... I wonder if they are real?? But they are only $1 bundles... Then we went up to the highest floor.... The swimming deck.... Taken against the sun.... Nice sunset in the evening.... The Happy Trio!

First Day In The Royal Caribbean Cruise To Mexico

ROW ROW ROW YOUR BOAT.... gently down the sea....  Royal Caribbean, it is my second time following this giant vessel, the first time was from Singapore to Phuket, that was a very nice cruise.  So when my son mentioned that he found a good deal online, this time to Mexico, I agreed without hesitation.  Let's Go! A three nights stay with food and lodging only cost around $250 per person with at least one senior in per room.  Meals were either buffet style or fine dining, we can choose and cafes were opened 24 hours for us to rest and relax.  How not to resist... LOL...  And so here we are... just one week after landing in US, I was on the sea....  Looks small from afar...  It was a giant vessel with at least 14 floors.... On the way to embarking after Custom Clearance...  Our room for the next three nights....  Small and cosy.... And adjoining to my son's family room through a door...  The one with balcony cost a bit more...  A short briefing about safety after we checked in....
