Swimming Fun

Before I blog about Daniel's love for swimming, Jeremy came over to stay at my place for a few days. Daniel and I really enjoyed his presence. He brought his hard disk and guess what; I managed to pick up some old pics he took of Daniel.

Just look what a chubby angel he was!


Yea.. he was like a lovely meatball! Compare to now...
You can literally see his neck clearly. Here he was, feeling cold from the pool.

and of course our signature Colgate smile! Guess he got it from me...
Ah yes, this is definitely mine...

JB Zoo Trip

That Saturday was sunny. The night before I called Kim if she wanna visit the zoo. She was reluctant and said the zoo takes a whole day to conquer... I was like "JB zoo lah. Not Sing's." She was like OoooooOOoo..... Yes, despite common comments on the JB zoo, we decided to give it a shot.


It's pretty tough to have 2 kids to look at the same angle at the SAME time. Anyway, the total entrance fees is RM4. That's a far cry from Night Safari and to be honest, I think the kids prefer JB zoo than Night Safari. At least my son didn't demand to be nursed halfway. The first stop was actually the tigers which I got so shocked at the lack of distance between the carnivores and the kids. It was only a miserable fence that seperates them. I was so stunned that I forgot to take a picture of them. Yet, I think this is the closest encounter for a toddler to have with a tiger.



The geese section was as always very enchanting for Daniel. They spent quite some time at this section along with the tapirs.

Some animals were handicapped, like the donkey. The monkey seemed lonely... It's too sad to be captured. Pelicans were the last. After that, we were already exhausted by the heat and the constant demand to be carried by the kids.








So off we went to Lavender cafe for some nice ice lemon tea and waffle with ice cream.

Here's Daniel wearing my sunnies upside down...

World of Electronics - Reality this time

For the past few weeks, ZX and I have been doing quite a bit of shopping for electronics. I must say, it is a whole new world when it comes to stuff like these. We have to consider so an array of things such as brand, functions, price (of course), physical features etc. We bought what we bought when all these meet at ONE single point. Tough? EXTREMELY. But I must say it was pretty fun. With GSS just over, we managed to get some bargains... or so I thought. I know deep in the hearts of the retailer, they are still earning heaps even when they act as if I have benefited so much from the discounts given.

First stop, we went to Harvey Norman at Millenia. We have been here a few times and only at the 3rd time, we decided to invest in a good sound system. Yea, maybe it will really make a difference after I buy Transformers Blu ray dics.

We got a...
1) Onkyo receiver (dunno what model, let me check the box



2) Mirage speakers (also dunno what model but it looks exacly as shown below... It should be Mirage nanosat)
I fell in love with these speakers immediately. They are small and cute and I love the acoustics coming out from it. Have I heard of them? NO. I have heard about Bose etc but I just didn't get the chance to go to Bose.

3) Sony Bravia 46" Z series
Hallelujah! My dream TV! I have dreamt for a Z series for some time... Daniel will definitely love the Z series with real moving Barney. And it comes with a free Sony Blu ray player. Nyek heh...

4) Bosch Built In Oven

My most common way of cooking? With the oven. So I got a Bosch which has Eco cleaning and decent amount of functions and affordable price from Wong Radio. Yes, you can expect to have more grilled chicken and probably turkey and roast lamb for Christmas.

5) Bosch Side by Side Fridge

Things can't go any grander than this black glass side by side fridge from Bosch. Am I Bosch freak? Probably I am going to be... I really bought this because of the black glass. And also the ice maker. Totally love this fridge. And yes, check out the cool ice maker it comes with... the most amazing thing is... it is MADE IN CHINA!


6) Bang & Olufsen Beocom 6000


Need I say more about wanting a stylish item in the house? Slick... but totally overpriced. Yet, ZX fell for it.
