3rd Amazing Race Asia - The Finale

Its the Amazing Race Asia again!

This time the kick-off and final pit stop are both in Thailand.

Love watching all the Amazing Races. Guess I love the adrenalin flows and kind of tasks that are given to them. The challenges and the way they solve and champion it.

The Team

The Champ : Sam & Vince from Hong Kong

Malaysia send 2 couples.

The buddies, Ida & Tania and bro/sis, Henry & Bernie.

Ida & Tania finished 3rd. Congrates u guys.

Being the coolest and funniest couple, u guys have proven that Malaysian girls are 'coooool"..heheh...

Henry and Bernie. They're smart and was seen as the main competitor, not until the Philipines yielded them.

Anyhow, Malaysian girls won the 1st ARA, being the first ever girls team to win the Amazing Race. And as for the 2nd ARA, Malaysia girls won the 2nd place and the 3rd ARA, AGAIN, the GIRL team secured the 3rd place. C'mon..wut happen to the guyz???
4th ARA???? finished fourth??? hehe....

Busy dayz

On leave today. Gotta go to Shah Alam.
Lucky H came back earlier so that he can accompany me.

Left F at my mum's and T with my babysitter and make way to Shah Alam. Had our breakfast there.

Went to MIT to register for my convo and to take the robe, car stickers and other things for my convo. Sighh..lots of people.

So much relief when H is around as he can help to wait in the car. As usual, there's large crowd, so, there's nowhere to park the car.

Need to que for 1 hour just to register to get my robe. Aduhh..lenguh pinggang achik. Lots and lots of students as nowadays even the diploma student will wear their robe unlike my zaman tuk-kaduk. We dont have to go there before our convo and me as usual, dont even bother to come for the rehearsal.

Still can remember when mum tempah baju kurung for me when me on the other hand never bother 'bout that, and i dont even know that kena buat baju baru for convo, hahah..

The surroundings. Those students are busy talking 'bout applying for jobs..where to stay, bla..bla..rasa macam kesian pun iye...coz remembering I was once been in their shoe. Somehow all those memories flash...hmm..if I can just turn back the time...

Just wore t-shirt n jeans that day, and due to my size, it makes me no difference from them..best jugak tu..
room to take our robe. Took the 'M' size...H is not around when i try the robe, back home, dia kata its too big for me as if i'm wearing the robe naked. Haha...
pilih..pilih...those colours refers to your course.

Then, move on to a shopping complex nearby Concorde. H bought as many PS2 games as he wants. Bought 2 pairs baju kurung, thanks H.

Then, went to Ampang Point as I want to buy another baju kurung. Went there, had our lunch and bought the baju that I want.

Huh...things are all damn smooth without the kids. We can complete our shopping and lunch within 1 hour.

So much freedom without any hasstle...hmmm..lega betul....

H wanted to go for a Thai massage untuk betul kan urat2 yg tersimpul during his fishing trip. I am not that keen for the massage, i need a facial actually.

But since they told us that the facial need to be done elsewhere, just accept the massage offer.

So, both of us spend about 1 hour for the Thai massage...I dont really like it as it hurts..aduh...sakit urat2 belikat and sayap daku...kuat betul la makcik tu urut.

Keep on asking her to go slow..too bad they dont speak english. So I dont even know if she can ever understand what I've told her...

Tiring off-day, yet so much missions accomplished.

2 Days Without H

H came back from Singapore and reach home around just before midnite.

Then he quickly pack up all his camping & fishing gear before left again at around 6.30am the next morning for his fishing trip at Gopeng.

So, again, just the 3 of us throughout the weekend.

It'll be boring without him as there's no one that I can rely on, escpecially if it is on weekend.

It'll definitely a stay-at-home weekend as I'm too lazy to bring the kids to shopping mall as they'll be running here and there.. thinking of bringing them to watch Madagascar 2, but my level of laziness is above all, so sorry dude..lets just stay at home.

Went to my condo's management's office and paid my maintenance fees up to Jan. 09, and paid advance water charges too..there goes my rm500++ bucks..huhu..

Then, had lunch at the cafe there...thats why i love staying here..everything is within reach..(especially for a dude like me)..the cafe, gym, swimming pool, dobi etc...imagine u have to drive just for a lunch with the kids..malasnyerrrr....

After lunch, let the kids enjoy the playground..

At about 3pm, we went to Giant for some fresh foods. My bro will be coming this evening. Thanks god both girls are well mannered..kalo tak..pening wo....

Actually they are not that mischievous, its just that they’ll be accident prone if they start to run here and there...anything will possibly happen, that’s why I need to avoid those stuff (jgn nak menambah kan kerja daku..tak kosa…).

Bro came at about 6pm with his wife n doter…then all the kids went to swimming pool with my bro.
Only few pics…via my hp as H brought the camera…terrible pics as kids kept on moving..couldn’t get a nice shot.

Cook grilled lamb and fettucine cabonara for dinner..as always, F love those grill lambs. Nanti mummy masak lagi k…..

On Sunday, we’re all just stayed at home. Kids with their games, me with my tv, pc and house chores…baru la rasa aman damai nak tengok tv….

Ops, forgot to mention, I spent almost half of the day to play “Katamari”…(actually since the night before).. sampai sakit2 my left thumb..hhahahah…ganaz tak daku punya tahap main game….Actually my bro bought that game…dah lama tak main game tuh…hehhe…

H reaches home at around 1am. He suppose to spend 3 days there, but they came back early as the weather is not that good; they’ve been sleeping in the rain…muahahahha..and there’s no fish either..untuk tidak balik dengan tangan kosong, his troop went to a lake nearby Gopeng there and manage to get some talapia…

H as usual, just bring back those pics only…and I don’t even bother as we don’t eat those fresh water fish.

H is Away

H wakes up at 4.30am and limo came to fetch him at 5am to KLIA.
He got plane to catch at 8am. He is away to Singapore for 2 days.

Well girlsss....time to rock n roll!!!!!!!!!!!

But err...actually I hate it when H is not around. I need to send kids to baby-sitter and to my mum's.

I'd wake up siince 4.30am, and guess I can only sleep again sumwhere around 5.30 am and need to wake up at around 7am. Text H so that he'll call me at 7am, just in case.

So we went out at around 7.40am and F helps me to carry things including her school uniform. Well, its our normal routine, lucky there's a lift and we load our trolley with F's school bags, T's bag for the baby-sitter, shoes, school uniform and my handbag...sighh...

I need to carry T as she's still sleeping. Lucky F is around, she'll help me to stroll the trolley. She's my only hope.

While stopping at a traffic light sumwhere at Ukay Perdana, I suddenly wanna close my eyes to sleep, just when F starts to talk to me..nasib baikk...
hahha..actually that traffic light is where I normally start to close my eyes, as H is driving..hmm that's the result when u normally have a driver.

The good part of driving to office by myself: I could turn into my fav CD, really loud..hahah..its kind of energy burst for me..hmm.. genius..

Corus Paradise Port Dickson

Fairy has just finished her final exam, so we decided to lepaking sumwhere.. Its been a while that we hadn't overnite sumwhere.

As it is just for over a weekend, we decide to just check-out for Port Dickson... dekat, so it wont be that tiring.

So, here we are!!!! at Corus Paradise
the pool

The main reason I'm choosing this hotel is because nak mandi laut...as other hotels with nice beach are all occupied, this is my only option.

Sad to say, actually lagoon tu tak leh mandi pun...huhu...buat perhiasan aje rupanya..punya la frustrated...around the hotel's lobby
posing2 while waiting for daddy to check us in.
our room

the room is just so-so...think that it's actually suit the price for normal rate..but apakan daya...now is peak season already...what u pay is not necessary what u'll get, huhu...

Well, its just for a nite, so long it is air-conditioned, with hot shower and can be lock from inside, it is gud enuf.

Its drizzling when we checked-in. So all of us decided to splurge for spa, hehe..


inside the spa

reflexology anyone???

those herbs



I choose the body massage, lulur and mangir, F pun nak join, so she choose the lulur and milk bath. H opt for massage - kurik angin. He needs to wait awhile, to wait for tukang urut lelaki.


Inside the treatment room.


F, while waiting for the lulur. Gambo gue mana boleh letak....mau retak screen ni kut, haha..

Masa F mandi susu, si kenit pon sebok nak join kakak nye. So, both end-up berendam in the tub, enjoying their milk bath. Bising jangan cakap la,.. lucky the lady masseur is quite sporting and tak kesah with kids.
Well, we felt so fresh after those treatment...best nyerrr...

thanks H...spending so much for us..tq...

Overall, i think Awana Kijal's spa is still the best. Padan la pulak dgn ghega nya kannn... But i love their lulur, terasa kehangatannya...

After the spa, kids started to dusyummm!!!!
Skill-skill mandi from T.

First, hold your leg this way...

then, u pull it up this way and float on your back.

I bet all adults up there is struggling doing this. Only me can master this, as i have shorter legs, hehe...

Ok, lets swim backwards

dah penat mandi...lapar la pulak...

the beach

the only pic of me during the trip, cheiss..lupa nak posing,

typically lazy of us. We dine at corus's - buffet. Well, due to tight economics, foods offered for buffet are just to meet the requirement..hmm...jadi lahhh...rezeki ni, a.j....

After dinner, watch tv,and nite-nite...

Next morning, breakfast, then lepaking at the beach. Its drizzling. Pic is in H's hp..malas nak download.

After lepaking, back to our room, packing, and we checked-out at abot. 11.30am.

Posing2 around Corus.

Checked-out..bye Corus...

Thanks H, for all the leisure and pleasure.

H is someone that really patience with the kids, would bring them anywhere, buy anything (reasonable), and can do anything with the kids, he wont mind.

Hmmm, cannot imagine marrying sumone who allergic to kids...gheee, how would it be???

Went back to KL. It is still early..

H decides to go to Sg.Wand to buy PS2 for the kids. I am not really keen in buying all these stuff..coz takut nanti asyik mengadap game aje..

(but I do think that actually H is the one needed it, haha)..

Baby Sit

Some of last year's collections.

Ow how she'd grown!!

This month, we decide to change her baby sitter to nanny just opposite of my mum's house.

Nothing is wrong with the previous nanny but it will be easier for my mum/dad to fetch her on each end of day.

Plus, if my parents is not around, F may also tumpang the new nanny as her school bus will definitely stops there, just in front of my mum's. Unlike if she's at my previous nanny, H need to take time-off to fetch her to school.

montel nya budak kecik ni at this time...gerrraammm

talking 'bout this nanny. In fact, me too stayed with this auntie when I was small.

But it was only when my mum is out of maid...haha..dari anak ke cucu duduk kat rumah cik Eton nih, haha..We do have servants till I'm sumting like 13 or 14, which by then I'm able to survive my own. And those days it was nothing compared to today. Those servants are all locals...called them "kakak"..and not so much of hassle...unlike today. Lotz and lotz to be worried the minute we hire a maid..gosh..we changed several maids few years back before finally decided for baby sitter instead.

But no matter how..we still need 1, on 1 fine day..huhu...

BTW, Obama is the new US president. Congratulation and good luck to him.

God speed, Cheerss...
