This time our June School Holiday was spent in Bali, Jakarta, Bandung, and Cilegon(Anyer).

And 2 weeks have passed without we knowing that the holiday is oveeeerrr....

Back to Singapore, the kids are put under home quarantine for a week as a precaution towards the H1N1 virus.

At first they feel glad, thinking that they got another week of holiday extension,

but after two days they start complaining feeling bored. I think they missed their friends and school.

 

 

The worst traffic jam i ever had in my life !!!

I started my trip early to Johor Bahru via Woodland checkpoint, however after seeing so much traffic, decided to make a turn and then proceed to Tuas checkpoint expecting lesser traffic there. What did i got??? 3-HOURS-LONG-QUEUE !!!! Just by remembering those experience already make me sick again...

It was a public holiday that fell on Friday, everyone used this chance to travel out of boring place they live in. So the congestion was expected, but not as bad as this! 3 HOURS !!! Imagine that, sitting in a car that moves a few centimetres every few minutes under hot striking bright sun that burns through the roof top of your car. Add some nasty driver that will cut into your lane whenever you are too late for few miliseconds to step on your gas to move forward... I was prepared to yelled my heart out to customs officer, for doing their job so darn slow ! But when i saw it was a nice lady there... my heart soften and my mood get back to the Holiday Mood... ;)

Driving to Fraser's Hill was quite challenging, as there was no clear and good roadsigns pointing to the destination, plus it was raining very heavily... Night's approaching... Fog's coming down... There was no other car travel along our way that we thought we might have been lost... All are quiet, just listening to the sound of the rain falling hard on the car rooftop and eyes were helping to see beyond the long and winding road infront. Finally, we managed to get to the Gap around 7.15pm. Cruising for another 8km of winding, climbing, one-way road, we reach the small town of Fraser's Hill.

The next day, we tried to track some jungle trail, but when we were about 10m into the trail, leeches were all around the ground... some even manage to climb and hung onto our shoes and socks... trying to suck our nice fresh and sweet precious blood... yuccckksss.. My kids screamed and ran his way out of the jungle trail... vowed never to enter it again.. hahahaa...

Nothing much to do there, so we decided to pack our bags and leave Fraser's hill, continue our journey to Genting Highland. I can see they love Genting more than Fraser's Hill.. Guess they are not the adventurous type of kids... For me, i had some games of bowling there and scored few strikes.. hihihi...

       

 

 

 

 

From that moment,

Never had I again felt those feelings

When you hold on to my hands, enjoying the sunset

On the white sandy beach.

 

Those moments have passed

But it will stay forever in our hearts as memories

 

There..., you hold me tight

There..., our love blooms and will never fades

The scent of yours will stay forever

Eventhough we are far apart

 

Our moments... In Kuta, Bali....

 

 

Wowww.... Year have passed in a flash....

I think i lost the count.. One year supposed to be 365days.. but how come my counting just reached hundred and then now already 2009?

Time really wait for nobody... We should cherish all the moment that we have while we can! Cherish the Love...

My friend reminded me that its been a long long time since i last update, post blogs and photos to this space. So here i am at this hour (1.42am) with two match sticks supporting my eyelids.. trying to type as fast as i can and upload some pictures so i can take my rest soon... hihihi

One of the reason i was absent for so long is that i was attracted to another site, called FB. So please dont blame me... FB should be taken responsible for whatever happened., kakaka...

My trip last week to Japan is quite dissapointing, only because it didnt snow. (which my kids would love and eager to feel). Weather is very cold, and with strong winds sometimes, especially on the day we are in Disneyland. For me, the best part of the trip is the day when we stayed at the hotel with a hot-spring spa. Imagine resting, relaxing, dipping yourself fully naked in an outdoor hot-spring pool in a darn cold weather watching shining stars above and feeling the breeze wind of the cold dark night... huehue..

Mount Fuji... is so special.. It has a special aura that when we look at it, we will feel the magnificient of our creature. They said that Mount Fuji represent Women, and now i understand why, after going near it's peak: They are beautiful... but only from faraway.... XD

Tiring trip... Sleep late at night and morning call at 6am almost every day...

Well, what is there to expect when you joined a tour? These are their routine regimes: Early morning call, Limited time for shopping and look around, Boring shops that you MUST visits which they give UNLIMITED time for all to shops till they drop (and their commision $$$ rolling in fast). Nothing to complain though, coz whichever company you joined, whichever tour you bought, it still be the same.

When i was a kid, parents always sing ALISHAN DE GU NIANG song, which means mount Alishan's lovely lady... I was so eager to see Alishan's lady and was half dreaming about their beauty while climbing the steep path to the mountain... Reached there, to my dissapointment what i saw left is only Alishan's Old Aunty... :( Should have visit them 20 years ago... Now is too late... hihihi..

Luckily there are some good things to brighten me up: we have nice and cozy rooms for our stays, sumptious dinner, romantic hot spring bath, beautiful scenery, and lots and lots of local delicacies to try... This trip has make me plump and heavier by 3kilos... my oh my...

 

         

 

Short dive trip to Bali, with only two dives near Menjangan Island which I almost cancelled due to my injury. I was injured days before the trip. I prayed that my feet will get well before the dive, which it did not. Since i already paid for the ticket and fees, i continue with plan and dive. Thanks God that all went well... :p   However, until today it still hurts when i walks... Poor me... Only 7days left for me to recover my left feet before the marathon start. I joined to run the 10Km Race. Not enough sleep... Too much partying in Jakarta and Bali... Too much of oily food... How am i supposed to run the 10Km race? Oh my oh my... I will sure need wind beneath my wings...

What did i get???

Nice foods... and a VERY bad haircut !!!

Let the picture do the talking...

 

 

HUH!!! HMMPH !!! HNNGG !!!

Many of them dont believe it when i said my aloevera plant have grown flower. Yes, indeed it has bloomed !!!

It is my first experience and my first time seeing that the common aloevera can bloom. If someone told me the same, i wont believe them either without seeing it with my own eyes.. haha...

So, what i did is taking a snap of it before it withered. At least it will prove to them that i am not telling nonsense! And at the same time i am taking snap of my other plants as well. I hope you wont tell me those pictures are not from my balcony, again ! I dare you to come and see it by yourself!!! GRRRRRR!!!!

 

 

My last entry was on December last year.

It is so unbelievable (is the pronouncation correct ?) ;p that time passed within blinks of eyes.

Half a year had passed... and i thought it was just a month or two that i last logged on and add some blogs???

May be i am getting old???... People do say: "When you are young, a day would seems like a year to pass, but when you are old, last year would seems like yesterday." I hope this is not in my case.. hahahah.. Mine is maybe because of "having too much things to do, too little time to spare..."

Well, if it is not because of my buddy out there who keep nagging me, asking me about  my trip, my new photos, I wouldn't be sitting here in front of my computer at this hours of time (hoaahhh.. getiing sleepy...)

So.. just check it out yourself buddy... Hope you find what you are looking for...

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

I remembered one saying: ' Life is just like a wheel, sometimes up, sometimes down... '

When you are down, everything seems to turn bad... seems like bad luck is just behind you, everything you did will turn sour... everything around you will turn their back at you... Then slowly, the mystery guest - 'stress' will come along... And when it comes, more bad things will come along... Bad Health, or Sickness...

I got a tummy upset last few weeks... Seems there are gas inside which makes me feels bloated.

Went to doctor, which simply says: 'It could be caused by Stress..'

I dont know, is Stress really so frightening? I heard many stories of sickness that was diagnosed caused by the things called 'stress'. From Headache, Backpain, Hormone Imbalance, Loss of Hair, etc..etc..

Or is it just excuses when we cant get any answer for the cause, we just blame 'stress' ?

Hoooahh... I dont know wat i am talking now... I am half sleep..

Now must really sleep.... zzz .. zz. z...

 

 

 

 

 

 

Survivor, but it is not 'Survivor Guatemala' that you've been thinking of.

The survivor here is to my one and only fry (small baby fish) left in my fish tank today.

Well... i was late to take action. By the time i saw it, nothing has left but one.

The mother had born many of his brothers and sisters in the afternoon, but they were all ended up as the long-waited-main-course by the other predators.

Just luck that one managed to escape from those hungry predators, hiding just above the water pump when i noticed it. I quickly moved the fry to a safe environment, hoping that he (or maybe she) can grow to adult fish to serve my tank better.

Hoooaahhhh....

 

It has been quite a long time i absence from internet.

So many things to do, places to go, works to be done, etc.. etc.. bla.. bla..blaa

 

Felt so much loss in this very fast changing world of internet.

Don't even know what 'blogs' are.

 

Maybe someday somewhere sometime somebody will enlighten me.

 

In the mean time, i will just pray... pray.. and pray...
