Helping hand by Good Samaritan

Waited for Russell to wake up at 10am, we happily drove to morning market nearby (Batu Maung) to get something for makan... guess what, my old van broke down in the middle of the road while waiting for the green light. with 2 kids in the van, can't do anything besides asking them to help by waving hand to direct traffic to other lane while waiting for my father to come and fix it. don't know why it run out of electricity, something to do with the battery.

this is a new experience, some interesting discovery... well, as the place is very near to cargo airport, a lot of cargo trucks passing by very fast... some even asked me to switch on the double signal... I wished I were able to do so! some even waited behind and beeped me, those're really gong one..

then come a good samaritan that suddenly "zoom" stand beside my driving seat asking me to leave the vehicle as the traffic and trucks really drive in speed and accident might happen. without 2nd thought, i grabbed my 2 kids crossed the road to a nearby space to be waited there. while the good samaritan put some leaves on stick behind the vehicle indicating vehicle down with problem ... he even asked if need to call for mechanic if I haven't do so... then I noticed that he parked his truck somewhere 200m away and came to my aid.

Sometimes, we just need the ONE to come forward when we're in needy... I would like to say a big "Thank You" to him here.

Rants, rants, rants......

The whole Saturday morning we spent at tm to get the blurdy SME package terminated after 1whole year subcription and only managed to get it done completely after more than 5 visits! stupid stupid stupid co. and staff. settled the bills which cost more than RM1200 in 5 months, another pain. can you imagine after 5 visits to the service centre get a fixed line terminated???!

just make sure that you all done fall into the trap of what what save package that bound you for 1 year, all these are just making fools of us. worst when come to their yellowp advert. and literrally couldn't be found easily from search engines... don't promote all these to me. I've had enough of all this. it's like being conned legally... sigh!

it was like making us mad when you bring along 2-restless-boy to wait for your turn. and i slapped russell twice while waiting... things are really upside down be it the systems or the people, really ugly. i cried for us malaysian.

Fatt Gou and Dumplings

Mom gave me few of dumplings and fatt gou to celebrate dumplings festival. I gave some to my son's teacher too.

My kids love 'fatt gou' that my mother made as it's less sweet and more healthy without the plastic based that being used by commercial sellers. whenever it's 1st or 15th of lunar month, mom will make more as offerings..and she won't forget my portion as well : )

More of chinese calligraphy...

My interest grew as I write with brush. I bought many of writing scripts and brushes these few day and to practice more often... my 'me gui' & 'bi'
practicing the writing really need the presents of soul besides mind and hand... this is a rare sight in the technology age...

Grow Green

Sometime ago, I visited to a fruit farm in Kamunting, Kedah. The farmers there grow a lot of tapioca of this type - red skin with yellow flesh of our local potato. My favourite.

Then, I asked for a few samples to grow at our little backyard. This is the results after planting it for more than 1-month. Still need 2 to 3 months in order to yield for harvest...


Another rustic find that I love very much...good for use to make eco-enzime ...

Home Schooling Programme

Things moving slow or can say almost not moving, i mean business. Customer buy, then reject. Went to collect back those barcode ribbons to verify the actual problem. Who knows they asked for the wrong ribbons to be printed on paper stickers. need to return them the right ribbons roll afterward.

Everybody is cutting down in spending. But, some investment in educational stuff that we should be embraced by parents is ICT English. One can learn English at the convenient of your own time at home. It really save much of your time in travel by sending kids to tuition classes. Worth for a try.

Birthday

22nd Mar, my birthday; 2203, 0322, 32 don't these number gorgeous? : ))
received a few birthday greetings from friends and relatives.

Baking; back in action

Time to replace my old oven, finally got myself this Pensonic AE-18N multi-purpose oven. I bought this from our latest visit to Giant store during the weekend.


I prefer conventional oven compared to microwave one. Most probably microwave oven produces radioactive ray that make me feel uncomfortable when I stared at the cake while it's baking. As long as it serves my requirement - to bake, then I'm happy enough.
Moreover, it comes with back light, timer and 'ding..' times up alarm.
