2008 Wishes

Here's wishing you all, my friends, a Happy Prosperous New year. Just finished a 3 hr work shift, will be back tomorrow, on New Year's Day, for a 10hr night duty. Will write more then. See you all next year!

My Budding Artist

Eversince Caitlyn learnt how to pick up a painting brush, she has shown her ability to draw and paint even abstracts (yes, abstracts, at that tender age). I used to blu-tac her art work on the walls in Singapore but I guess I threw them away before we packed up and moved here. I shouldn't have. This peacock is her latest...Actually this one is Velvet art, an Xmas pressie her Lai Yee gave her. It's nothing difficult, to her it's "easy peasy" but she only choose just 4 or 5 colours and managed to create this piece of art. I'll try to korek more for her art work and put it up... but that means I would have to go into the shed... aiyo.. at 44deg heat, that Colorbond shed and well be an oven! Hey! there's a poorman's sauna at the back of my house!.. Man, now I know how the turkey feels....

Gaji Buta

Remember the last time I mentioned about getting paid by EmailCash? Finally got my first cheque from them! NOt much, only AUD30... but gaji buta leh.. not bad hor... Look back at my older post and click at the link and sign up.. it's free!

Finally!

Caitlyn finally learnt how to blow up bubble gum..... despite having a wobbly tooth at the front. Bryan finds it amazing and keeps wanting to pop it... So Caitlyn has had gum in hair, on face, on fingers.. THis is her with make up on... hiau or not?

Jackpot!!!

Took my aunts to Burswood Casino today..... Lucky day for her!
Started the adventure with a 15min hike, desperately searching for the main entrance under the scorching sun...
Finally found it...
Then once inside I was overwhelmed with the rings and dings and the whiffs of clashes of sweat, perfume and BO. It was amazing. A lot of old people there!
My aunty ah... really... all charged up and raring to go went hunting for the 2cents machine.... Then I found one and got my cousin to fetch her... I choped the machine and fed it $5.00 and made my aunt sit and play... within mins, she won $140! Not bad for a first timer!
Steady losses followed till it reached $130 and she claimed her winnings. Not bad for a half hour's worth of fun! I bet a mediocre street walker can't even earn that much in that span of time!
Pleased as punch, we went to the neighbourhood makan place and bought roast duck, roast pork and charsiew for dinner .... all courtesy of Burswood Casino.
I wonder if we can go again tomorrow....

3 more sleeps to Christmas!!!!

Let's see.... 3 more days right? Suami punya pressie pun belum beli... Adik's one also.. well, I wanted to get her her own digital cam cos she borrows mine.. but she says nonid, want to get her own wor, so I'll just chip in and kasi angpau saja la.... And then her matair 's one also belum beli... Entah la... nak beli apa.......

Will end my 10hr shift in exactly 15mins... after that, I have choir practice till 11am, then rush the city with my Yee Mah, Yee cheong and cousin Hoong and Aunty Julie to do some shopping... then back home to get dinner ready and tonight, we go to Burswood to do a bit of gambling..... Music to my aunt's ears...

Will tell you all more about it later.... in the meantime, gotto sharpen my tennis/bowling/boxing/golf skills to take on my Caitlyn on the wii...... That girl is damn good man!

Hiau or not?

That's Caitlyn for you.. all dolled up when she had 2 "BFFs" over. The Aunty la.. bought her a big case of cosmetics... now during the holidays, she likes to put on her make up.. Sigh... Did I say she is 7 going on 20?

Below are her kaki-s. All chilling out at my place one fine day. School's out now, and one by one going for a holiday. Poor us.... stuck here in Perth.....

And the winner is.....

NICE HOR? All the hardwork finally has paid off.... my neighbour won Best Decorated house 2nd year in a row! They have spent thousands of dollars on the decorations and you can imagine the power bill post X'mas! A bus load of Staff from a local radio station came over for the festivities and I'm stuck at the office working, listening to rude and ungrateful callers, lots of aggressive people roaming the streets this Friday night. Sometimes I feel that I'm not paid enough to take this kind of abuse....
Can't seem to insert video.. file too big...

Early Christmas Dinner

Dear ol' Santa visited early this year! Dear ol' Mario and Monica became Santa and Helper on Friday night to entertain the kids. The kids were thrilled although dear Aimee did ask why Santa wasn't "white". Lots of presents exchanged, everyone brought a plate. I brought Emperor's Herbal Chicken and deep fried spring rolls.

The food was great & the company, awesome. Aunts and Uncs coming next week to spend the Xmas holidays at our house. More pictures then!

All Hail King Bryan

'Nuff said.... can pose like James Bond some more.....

Why can't I strike Jackpot!!!

Strike Lotto ah!!!
Checked out my Saturday lotto ticket.... First time in my life, I kena 2 rows in a single ticket. I kena-ed 1 division 4 and 1 division 5 win, meaning, I struck a 4 in a row (out of 6) and another 3+1 supplementary. Total win? Only 80 lousy bucks... Sigh.... another 999920 dollars to go........ Sighhhhhhhhh
Took a pic of it.. now I can't find my camera.. hope no one nicked it during our open house today... That... will be another entry tomoro

Post note:

Happy Birthday Aimee!

HAPPY 7TH BIRTHDAY, AIMEE!
The kids had a blast today at Pioneer Village at Armadale celebrating Aimee's 7th birthday. Fairy themed for the girlies and pirate for the boys. Not surprising, the boys utterly refused to enter the "Fairy story chamber".... The adults had a little gathering with all the kueh muehs and sushi we could handle, thanks to Wendy and Michael, owner of Nagano Sushi at Nedlands.

Bryan, as usual, attacked the fried chicken with gastronomical gusto....... This boy ah, carried a big hamper of wet laundry for me to hang. Not bad eh, for a 3+year old.... I digress...,maybe I should call him "Ah Gu" instead of "ah Boy"...

Like a bullet through my heart!

Some CLC or CCB put a dent on my passenger door. Blardy hell. Only 1 month old, so you say I heart pain or not. Definitely from school one because every morning before I head out, I would give my Lucy a quick scan and yesterday, she was ok. Then went to school and back. When I discovered it, it was in the afternoon when I took the car out to school again to pick ah girl up. On Monday ah, you know where I'll park? I'll park waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay over "there" where no one parks... probably a mile away from the drop off zone....

Why isn't shopping appealing to me right now? Let me count thy ways....

CHRISTMAS
is like .......... 2 weeks or so away and I haven't done any shopping... the base of the tree is bare... very different this year.. normally, i would have started shopping from July onwards. This year, don't know why, too busy or too tired to do any shopping. I've been working almost alternate nights, and after work, at 7am, I have to prepare brekkie for the whole family la, get lunch ready for the kids and hubby too. Mondays, I have to play for the school choir till about 9.30am, after that, I'd be zombie-ing home, too dead tired to do any shopping.
OK.. I VOW to start Xmas shopping next week... school holidays starting then, will have Caitlyn for company to shop and shop. Look out world! Will blaze up a credit card trail next week! ... then 55 days later, ventilate when the statement comes a-knockin'.

What la.. working Xmas and 1/1

DOn't know whether to laugh or to cry..... Last year, also same, this year... kena also. Sigh... But then hor, I will be going on annual leave for 6 weeks mid Jan 08. See what happens to the house.. if it walks out the door by 2008, then holiday keras.. if not, squat at home lor.....

All my kawan all going back to Singapore or going for holidays ... woe is me......
