Teak 5 Part 2

There are so many things here. It's like a museum and to that it's really hard to control a cheeky toddler I tell ya. Drakey's favorite is the antique radio which is situated right near our table. You can click here, here and here for the food. The pix I took weren't appealing heh.

Teak 5 Part 1

This is later that same day when my son was so sad the Pajero got towed away. If you guys love food and live near here, I would recommend you dine here. The food is so delicious... SEDAP!!!

Just arrived.

Hubby checking things out.

While they where sitting, I was snapping pix.

On Tuesday night we had a family dinner at Pannaz. It's situated in Damansara Perdana. It's near the road, you can't miss it! You can see some pix of what they serve here. Currently their official website has maximized its bandwidth, better luck next time.

Here are some photo's I'd like to share. Some of them where shot by my sis in law.

Mooncup Menstrual Cup

What is it?

The Mooncup is a reusable menstrual cup around two inches long and made from soft silicone rubber. It is worn internally like a tampon but collects menstrual fluid rather than absorbing. Unlike tampons the Mooncup is not a disposable product, so you only need to buy one.

The Mooncup will hold 30ml of fluid, which is roughly one third of the average total produced each period. A light seal is formed with your vaginal walls allowing your menstrual fluid to pass into the Mooncup without leakage or odour. You will probably find that you need to empty your Mooncup less frequently than you currently replace towels or tampons.


How to use?

• Find a comfortable sitting, standing, squatting or kneeling position. Relax and take your time.

• Press the sides of the Mooncup menstrual cup together and then fold in half again.

• Hold the folded sides firmly together between thumb and forefinger of one hand. The single curved edge should be away from your palm.

• Stay relaxed. With your free hand gently separate the labia and push the curved edge of the folded Mooncup menstrual cup up into the vagina.

• Insert the Mooncup menstrual cup fully following the natural angle of your vagina. Aim towards the small of your back, not the top of your head. You do not need to push the Mooncup menstrual cup up high into the vagina, the vaginal muscle will keep it in place.

• Once the Mooncup menstrual cup is fully inserted grasp the base of the cup, not the stem, and rotate it once to ensure that it has fully unfolded.

• Most women find that the stem is too long. You will need to remove the Mooncup menstrual cup and cut the stem to your own requirements.

• It is important to keep your Mooncup clean. Wash it regularly with mild soap and hot and water. It can be cleaned more thoroughly between periods.

Lunch at Paddington's

Yay, food's here. That was quick!

My lunch. Inside that thin pancake is like spaghetti and meat sauce. Okay, quite nice.

Pancake burger. It was so delicious, hubby didn't spoke a word till his lunch was finished ^_^

Yummy iced mocha with chocolate syrup and whipped cream


Heck no! Mommy can't have it first. Drakey must drink it first.

Psyched kid. Cheerful and cheeky!

Mabul: Paradise on Earth

Where is Mabul?

"Mabul is an island off the south-eastern coast of Sabah in Malaysia. It first became popular due to its proximity to Sipadan island.

Few years back, it has gained its recognition as one of the best "muck diving" sites in the world. Mabul island is a small oval shaped island surrounded by sandy beaches and perched on the northwest corner of a larger 2 square kilometre reef.

It is more correctly recognised now that the reason for the quality of the MUCK Diving is simply a result of overfishing uses of cyanide and dynamite by the local people of this area."


How to Get There?

From Kota Kinabalu, take a 55-minute flight to Tawau and enjoy an hour’s drive to Semporna. From here, Mabul is another 45 minutes by speedboat. Be sure to pre-arrange transportation with your respective resort/dive operator.

On Diving.

Three combination boat dives a day, unlimited jetty diving on Mabul Island. Water temperatures range from 26°C-31°C. Thermoclines exist, especially on Sipadan, and divers should be prepared with a range of protection. As a minimum, pack a woolly-lined lycra suit and possibly a 3mm one-piece neoprene suit.

Visibility averages 15 to 30+ metres around Sipadan and is extremely variable; without warning it can drop to three to six metres. Around Mabul it sometimes no more than 6-7 metres, especially if someone has kicked up the silt.

Safety.

Most of you know about the Abu Sayyaf kidnappings that happened in Sipadan. After that incident, the place is crawling with guards guarding the island with M16s. So far tourists have no complaints and the island's are safe.


Clothing and other apparels.

• Casual clothes. Singlet, shorts. For Muslim women, make sure to bring cotton clothes and hijab's.Oh and don't forget hats.
  

• Don't forget your sunscreens

• Towels.

• Also sctrictly no high heels. Bring your sandals or sport shoes.

• Swimwears.

• Camera

• Mosquito & Insect Repellent for Body

Accommodations in Mabul??

• Borneo Divers & Sea Sports (Sabah) Sdn Bhd

• Explore Asia Tours Sdn Bhd (Sipadan-Mabul Resort)

• Seaventures Tours & Travel Sdn Bhd

• Sipadan Water Village Resort Sdn Bhd

An interesting blog I found from Scuba Jeff. He arranges Mabul trips for those on a budget.

#Update: Alala.... the group trip was full. Teda rezeki la mau pigi kali ni... Uwaaa... sedih!!!

Nature Pix from Email

Hubby forwarded this email to me so I don't know who to credit it to. I'm so sorry! If I put these pix inside my email, I wouldn't be able to enjoy my selected favorite. I especially like the photo where the bird's liquid stool came out lol.

Doraemon Says Hi!

Woops... I totally forgot to tell you guys that this is one of the newest free McDonald's toy. That's Noddy behind Doraemon passing by when I took Doraemon's pic. "Put puut said", car.

Update #2: This photo just made its way in a Flickr group called Doraemon (s) of the World United - 世界のドラえもん

Twilight 1st Book

If you wait long enough, you'll get a discount! I just bought my copy of the first Twilight Saga today from Popular Bookstore. I wonder how many months will I finish reading it.

Choc & White 70s Outfit and...

I saw this site from Facebook ads. They sell plus size clothes. I am totally crazy for this outfit and also the boots. For me, add long pants, long shirt and hijab and wallah, heads will be turning. LoL!!!

On a later update I went to Idify Creations at Rasta Sg. Penchala and saw beautiful Abaya's with varieties sulaman manik and the other one is a beautiful brown abaya with corak. If I buy 2 abaya's it costs around RM360. A good bargain considering it's really beautiful, of course imported Abaya's. Munawarrah yang without sulaman costs around RM300 worr...

Idify Creations is going to open an online shop soon. Either they're going to open on mudah/ebay/lelong or my ever so generous hubby would land a hand in making them their own website. But he told one of the shop owner, it's more easier to buy a digicam and set up a shop on ebay/mudah/lelong. I'd have to agree on that too because that's where I go first to find cheap good stuffs.

Wayne Allwine and Mickey Mouse

Wayne Alwine was the third voice of Mickey Mouse since it was created ages ago by Walt Disney and so far the longest record holder of being Mickey's voice. Sadly enough he died recently due to diabetes complication. His wife coincidentally is the voice of the current Minnie Mouse.

Cats Picture Update

I do better with photo's than telling stories :)

Here are my cats. It's been a while now since they have treatments from the vet. Dr. Hasnul or Dr. James(Ikano Vet... he's the one with the long hair and good looks). I hope they will get one check up this year, InsyaAllah.

Why Like This??

My weekend maid has a good heart but she does her jobs so aggressively. She already broke a couple of brooms, the suction straw for my liquid soap is broken into two, my wedding gift is pecah into two when she tried to clean my messy table. Sedih... sangat sedih. But I'm glad she's done a good job in helping me clean.

Tummy Ache

Last night I ate some Wasabi Twisties keropok and woke up around 340am with a stomach ache. Spent a bit in the toilet. Played Bigfish game "Everything Nice" until 530am and went to bed. My stomach is still giving out weird noises though. But now it hurts from hunger pain :P

Charlie Bit My Finger Again!

Cute video although I know most of you have seen this but this one is for my blog. I was surprised to see how much people have watched it: 96,306,119 views at the moment. These two brothers are so cute. Even though he knows his little brother would bite his(older brother) finger, he still wanted to put his little finger inside his baby brother's mouth.

Japan Culture Weirdness

Hubby's working on a flash wedding animation for a couple who's living in Japan(expats living in Japan for many years). The person in charge told hubby that people who work from home in Japan are considered cool people and they can keep a moustache! Yes, a moustache. If you look carefully in every Japanese series only people who aren't working in offices can keep moustaches. Even a TV anchor are forbidden to keep any! Weirdness!

The Japanese series are portraying their culture rather accurately. For instance, yes it 's true a parent and the child who's a victim of a bully is frowned upon on Japan. It's like weakness in a child is a very bad thing!! It's so bad that teenage suicidal is so common over there.

As for a place to live, it's common that a company will give its workers a dorm to live in(which is usually situated really near to the workplace). The dorm is pretty small of course. Even a 30 square feet space equals up to USD1000 rent. Expensive!!!

With the economic crisis that's forever been going on in Japan, they usually recruit temp workers to which works at least a 3 month contract with a company. It's more cheaper that way because if you have lots of permanent staff workers you would have to pay more due to the commitment of the staffs over the years... yes, increase payroll... etc. There are lots of temp agencies in Japan and yes if you are a temp worker(they call you a Haken) you are SHIT. Yes, Haken's are shit to the eyes of Japanese. The lowest grade of social status in Japan. You can't even get married with a rich man or lady if you are a Haken. Probably the whole family of your loved ones of the significant other would automatically dis you.

If you love Japan so much and want to visit their country, be prepared to bring proper equipment for walking. Visiting Japan can make you thin. If you are used to walking, no problem then. There are so many commuter stations there and to get from one commuter to the other commuter you have to walk. From the commuter to another city, more walking. There's even an itinerary of an activity in Japan from a travel agent which clearly typed "a bus ride to a traditional village; adventure walk from the village to the hotel for 30 minutes to enjoy the scenery's of ancient Japan."

Probably I may exaggerate a little but still... Japanese... one weird culture!!!

This is the story for last week. Awesome huh! Here's hoping to know more about other people's culture through my husband's daily gossip with his clients lol.

Of course being my husband, everything he also doesn't know... Where's your birth cert? Dunno. Did Belle Mere filed a police report for you? Dunno. How ah? Dunno. Do you think we can do it in Kota Damansara or Shah Alam? Dunno.

Do everything slowly lahhh... Isk isk... Pening kepala pikir.

Roach Trap

Last night while watching tv, I saw a huge cockroach. When I found a suitable little box to smash it dead, the cockroach was no where to be found. It probably felt my killing aura. Thankfully enough I had these Trap-a-Roach, which I bought one from Cold Storage which comes in with 5 sets in a box.

The last time I used it, there were only lizards stuck to it. I forgot all bout the trap until there was some foul stench in the house. :P

Sims 3 Madness: Toaster

Oh look at this cute Sims 3 toaster! The game's not out yet but the toaster is :)

Talking About Sylar *SPOILERS*

Since Sylar now has the shape shifter power, it would be funny to see Sylar changed into Spock in Heroes. He does experience problem controlling his powers. The part that I find really 'Psycho' creepy is when he took turns becoming his mother and himself...conversing alone... And now Matt Parkman turned him into Nathan Petrelli since the real Nathan Petrelli's DEAD!

Angela Petrelli really loves Nathan and doesn't even care if Sylar was turned into Nathan. I'm sure in Volume 5, Sylar would eventually realize who he really is.

Survival Horror Games.

Tabasco With Orange Soda

My brother drinking F&N Orange with Tabasco. :P Remember, Jackass actors have insurance for doing dangerous stupid things. Don't do dangerous stupid things without insurance!

But anyways, drinking Tabasco with orange Soda isn't that dangerous. Ada ngongots sikit jak lah. hehe

Malaysian Online Baby Shops

The Toy Seller by Rita Banerji.

Wow! This blog has a huge list of Malaysian Online Baby Shops. From the seems of it, it's regularly updated too. There are also audition ads for babies/toddlers/kids. You can also advertise your online shop there. Worth clicking!

Another forum has several lists of Malaysian/Singaporean Online Baby Shops in this forum.

Last night I was in the mood to search for online baby shops and in the end slept at 4am... woke up around 8am.

Not forgetting from Wanita Melayu forum.

Spongebob vs. The Big One

Here's the part where Johnny Depp starred in one particular episode in Spongebob Square Pants. I hope I can find the full episode somewhere...

4 Things Different

Since I'm updating my blog using a widescreen, I hope I don't mess up with all the measurements. But even now pc monitors and laptops are widescreen, right? Right!

About my Twitter, I've got 20++ strangers following me. Crazy! The good thing about it is that I don't automatically follow them :). Today I read about Joel Madden's tweet. He was talking about his daughter Harlow and how rude the paps where when they got out of the restaurant. It was camera flashes all the way from the restaurant to their car. The baby was of course upset. I felt quite sad reading it too. Poor celeb babies!!

I miss KK no doubt about it. I'm supposed to buy tickets for our holiday to Kuching next month but now I think I wanna see my parents, my brothers... everyone. I told hubby if he wanted to buy a house, buy one in KK. Easier for me! Muahaahahaha...

My weekend maid told me that she and her husband are working hard to make sure their child gets to graduate from Medan University. She told me her anak(lupa lelaki ka prempuan) majors in Psychology. Since she walks all the way from my house to the Pekan Penchala while throwing my cats litter every weekend, I decided to send her. She told me it's nearly 50 minutes to reach there(Angah's Restaurant), she works babysitting a handicapped 13 year old kid. But it took me only 10 minutes to and fro. Plus, I feel bad letting her walk 15 minutes with a big bag of cat poop( I have 2 big litter boxes) and my son enjoys the early evening ride and see the cows along the way. But then again, I feel like I don't deserve to be happy doing this because I'm making myself feel good in order to help this Makcik. It's a selfish act! I'm supposed to feel good for the Makcik and not for me. So how? I think too much laa!!!

Hooray For Masking

The only photo that's on my desktop

Today I am rajin enough to learn masking in Adobe Photoshop. Of course my brilliant husband taught me ages ago but I forgot. Also this site gave simple explanations, easy enough for me to follow.

Grief and Pain

Quentin Field was shot to death one night... and I cried at his funeral.

This is what Samantha Walker wrote in her English literature class expressing her feeling towards Quentin's death : Grief is like the ocean. It's deep, dark and bigger than all of us. And pain is like a thief in the night, quiet, persistent and unfair, diminished by time faith and love. - One Tree Hill

Iya, weekend ni menangis tengok One Tree Hill Season 6.

Edward Cullen By Zik

I'm so happy that my husband gave this gift to me :) Love it, love it, love it!!!
