Photos time!

Aloysius' birthday party in school. Everyone has a party hat and a souvenir for the party.


Photo time with his dedicated teachers. These are most of his schoolmates in the morning session.

Aloysius enjoying running around in the padi field, and throwing stones into the "drain". It was a very hot day though.

Penang!

We just came back from a trip to Penang for 4 days. It was Bernice and Charlene first trip on the flight. They were very good gals on the flight. Aloysius sat through the journey. They were all very excited about getting on the aeroplane when we reached the airport early in the morning.

Aloysius, Bernice and Charlene love it when we reached my aunt's place. There's a big space for them to run around, plus a big playground directly outside the house. The playground is easily 5 times the playground that we have downstairs. They went wild like being set free from a cage! They enjoyed themselves thoroughly everyday. There are a few brothers and sisters to play with them and look after them too :) That relieve me to chat with my cousins and talk about business in peace. kekeke... They ate sweet and juicy natural mangoes plucked from the tree just beside the house everyday. Yummy...

My cousins, nieces and nephews absolutely enjoyed playing with my ABC.


On the first day of our arrival, me and hubby went to Arthur's BIG house at Batu Ferringi. We went without the kids :) We went durian "hunting" around Batu Ferringi area. We were in a big group of about 28 people from Singapore. We achieved a certain level and were being invited to Arthur's house warming. I did not realise there's so much to know about durians! Do you know there are branded durians? Just like we have branded bags like LV, Gucci... What about the art of eating durians? wow... An eye opener for me, or rather a mouth opener. The D24 that we talk about in Singapore is no where near. The super branded ones need to be booked in advance some more! Geesh... never did I know there's so much about branded durians! We finished all the durians at the stall we went, and divert other cars that wanna stop. hahaha... Of course, Arthur foot the bill :p

When we reached his house, I was in awe. I finally get to see his 9 walls that cost RM100,000 each. You know what, even the durian seller knows that he stays there and his car plate number. His house is really a dream home which everyone will want to own. It's among the hustle and bustle of Batu Ferringi, just opposite Shangri La hotel, but still has the serenity when in the compound of his home. It's the largest house in Batu Ferringi. The house has full sea view. At one part of the house, there's nature with cooling breeze. He showed us the corner with the sunset during sunset. He's going to build a wooden pavillion at that corner. Imagine reading a book or just sitting there to relax during the beautiful golden sunset. I noticed a ship passing by during sunset, and it turned golden in colour. Very beautiful scene...

I love his waterfall too! It's real granite stones! His property sits on a hill with big granite stones! The waterfall cannot be copied, so it's the one and only one.

I was impressed with the crystals chandeliers, and the hand made bronze glass lamps around the compound of the property. Beautiful... and amazing...

Arthur gave us a small talk about living our dreams, and the opportunity to own a dream home like his. It really expanded our mind and horizon.

My dreams is more concrete now. Do you have a dream?

Gotta go...
