I took my children to our 7th wedding anniversary dinner. My hubby and I thought of having a quiet and romantic dinner together. We went to the Victoria Station in Penang. However the children were pretty noisy. I mean they talk non stop in aloud voice, I had to silence them a couple of times. Fortunately there was another family who was there who also had 2 children. If there were couples around, we will be embarrass

Imagine if there were couples there having their romantic dinner, you hear “Mummy I want the train to move”, “Mummy why aren’t the train moving”, “Mummy where is the train going?”, “Mummy, what is this?” Fortunately the banana split came in time to keep them quiet done for a little while.

I had my favorite escargots, the little French snails. Timothy likes it too.

Timothy: Where is the snail head?
Mummy: In your tummy.
Timothy: *disbelieve* No mummy, where is the snail head?
Mummy: You ate the head.
Timothy: *just cannot accept it* No mummy, you ate the head.

The food was alright but the environment is certainly romantic. After the meal, I took my children to the train head and they wanted to move the train. They were not very successful with it. :giggles:

Today is my wedding anniversary. Wow time passed really fast as I am reaching wool/copper anniversary. Ha! In no time my hubby and I will be reaching diamond, if we can survive that long. It has been great to have married for so long.

It was a very hectic weekend for us, so we decided to have a quiet dinner on Monday. I hope it will be quiet as we will be bringing along the children. We always make it a point to have them around with major celebrations. I hope they remember this so that when we are old, they will have us in their major celebrations too. Yes, it is a BIG hint to them. :giggles:

Happy 7th Anniversary To Us!!!

My hubby bought a Lego set in US for my children. Lego is pretty cheap in US. Anyone going there, should get a set for their children. Timothy is really good with it and he can do lots of different things with it. He made airplane, train, bus, house, people and ambulance. As for Emily, she is always asking me to make for her. She likes to stack the doors up high and look through it.

Here are some of the creations Timothy made. Guess what’s the last one?

Not Just A Bus, But A Bus With Seats:

Guess What’s This:

I bought back a Scottish music magnet from Scotland. When press, it play Scottish music. I put it on my fridge. My children love to press it and dance to the tune. After they press it, they will dance around the kitchen. It is kind of funny to see them. One day, my hubby recorded Emily doing the “really” cool Scottish dance with the China cap. She even got her mouth to dance with the music.

How will you rate this dance? 1-5 stars.

P/S Sorry my comment box was out of order, now it is fixed. My naughty hands did some change of codes.

Suddenly my blog turn sunny with the FireFly banner. I kind of like the color tone. It brightens everything up. Bravo firefly for making this site a little sunny today.

The top banner was up on my blog for a few weeks without ads. I procrastinated (overused word), from taking it down. When I finally did last week, an email came from the Ads Network, stating there is an incoming ad. Duh! I had to go dig the code and put it back up.

I am always supportive of the local companies. I must keep the Malaysian spirit up. Now where are my sun glasses?

Emily was down with fever for 5 days and yet she is not recovering. First 2 days was on the high temperature but thank goodness, no fit. She got the bug from her babysitter, I suppose. The first visit to the doc, the doc refrained from giving her antibiotic. It will be good for her own system to fight the bug. Peculiar thing is she is very active even when she is having fever. Somehow her body gets heated up when she is asleep. During the day time, she is her normal self.

Today, she was really out. She didn’t want to get out of bed. Anything I asked her to do, she said no. She didn’t want her milk, her bath, didn’t want to get out of bed and she just want to sleep. Boy she can sleep. I took her to the doc, the doc gave her the antibiotic since it has been 5 days of fever. She didn’t want to see the doc too.

Oooh, she passed the bug to the brother and me. Tim started having fever yesterday. He was happy because he didn’t have to go to school. As for me, I didn’t have the fever. It is really difficult for me to get fever. I am not sure why. However my body feels lethargic and I had a bad throat. I will be on MC tomorrow. Sorry if you have ping me today and I didn’t response.

Thanks to Aunty Jess, she gave Emily jigsaw puzzles as birthday present. When she was 2, she started playing with 5-10 pieces of jigsaw on her own. I bought some Mickey’s and Pooh’s collection for her to play. She loves playing jigsaw. Soon she will be helping me to put up 1000 pieces, I hope.

The one Jess got for her has nursery rhymes on it. She loves the 3 blind mice and Jack & Jill. Timothy too.

Emily: Come come, let me show you how to put a 40 piece jigsaw together. *with mummy’s help*

We went to Kampachi Japanese Buffet at the Hotel Equatorial Penang for Father’s Day celebration. They have lunch buffet with all kinds of Japanese dishes, sashimi, sukiyaki and sushi. However they didn’t have my son’s favorite Edamame beans.

Overall, I still think that it has lack of variety. If you been there once or twice, it is all the same. Verdict, I will not go back there again for the amount of money I am paying. Hehehe…today’s lunch is complimentary.

Emily wasn’t feeling well, she had fever. After taking medicine, she didn’t have fever during lunch. However she didn’t eat much. Fortunately hers was also complimentary. I persuaded the supervisor to give Tim a complimentary lunch as well.

After that we strolled around the hotel and look at the Penang view. We took some pictures too.

Emily and I celebrated our birthday at a Christian Camp. It is one of the reasons why I rushed back from UK. Before I went, I asked my hubby to order the cake. I reminded him a few times, afraid he will forget. I knew something funny will happen. Guess what?

Since we are celebrating Emily birthday with a crowd of 90 people, he ordered a 3kg cake. The cake was huge. My jaw dropped when the bakery man carried the cake out. It is about 3 feet by 1 foot. The first thing that came to my mind was how we are going to transport it over to the camp in Taiping. Fortunately, we manage to get some space in the car boot. We were also afraid that it will melt, but it didn’t. Look at the picture below.

Emily were all excited, keep asking me about the “Thomas Train” cake. I guess she never seen such a huge cake before. Through out the entire camp, she has been asking me about the cake. Sad to say, we could only finish half of the cake.

Thank you all for your birthday wishes.

Emily: Come Come, let me show you how I eat fish. (Her favourite words: “come come”)

Most of the time I eat out with my husband because some of the time we run chores when children not around. Today my hubby had a farewell lunch with his colleagues, we decided to split.

I went out with my colleague instead and decided to go for Sakae Sushi in Queensbay mall. Guess what? Of all the places, I bum into my hubby. He was eating there too. What a small Penang island. Ha! What are our chances of bumming into one another at lunch hour in the same eating place? Yes we are a pair made in heaven. :angel:
