Monkeying around

Petang-petang di hujung minggu kalau tiada program lain atau ke mana-mana hari itu, disinilah kami melepak anak beranak. Di tempat saya tinggal, agaknya ini ajelah playground yg masih functioning dan in good working condition, tu pun tak lama kot sebabnya tempat ni dah buat projek perumahan yang baru. Tak tahulah berapa lama playground ni boleh bertahan. So kitorang mainlah kat sini puas-puas sebelum playground tu lesap ditelan bumi huhuhu. Enjoy it while it last.

Kat area rumah saya dah takde rupa playground. Dah banyak yang rosak menanti rebah. Sedihlah sebab mentaliti orang kita tak reti nak jaga kemudahan awam yang diberi. Nasib la labu...

New bike on the block

Yup, got myself a new mean machine made from alloy frame equipped with 7 gear shifters (my previous old bike had only 5) on the right handle bars, a chrome colored multi-purpose basket, a very comfy driver seat (lagi lebar dari yg biasa punya) with equally neat passenger seat and painted with snazzy blue and silver. Even the tyres had white stripe on both side making it look super-cool, kinda reminds me of that Lightning McQueen car character in that Pixar movie except for the wordings PATTAYA embossed on the frame yg sangatlah tak cool! Kata tokeh kedai tu made in Taiwan tapi apesal ada huruf PATTAYA kan kan kan? moskel ni...hurmm! 

Anyways, the reason I posted this is to show you guys my new bike. That's all. Cam sengal aje kan announcement ni? Hahaha!

Ever since moving to this place, I've been using this mode of transportation practically every day. Since we only have one car to go by and hubby is using it to commute to and from work, I figure this is the only easiest and reliable way to go from one place to another within the vicinity of where I live. I cycle to the sundry shop everyday to buy groceries and what not. I brisk-cycle every weekend to get in shape. Sometimes I send my kids to school on bike when time is running late. And since I don't have the money nor the time to go to a proper gym, I guess cycling is the next best thing for me. Its very cheap and I got to do my usual chores plus exercising all at the same time. How cool is that huh?  

Ok move away peeps, here comes KC and her new bike roaming the streets of SU (that's where she lives by the way huhu). Ada berani?

If there's one thing you could change the world what would it be?

If you ask me, I'd politely ask the first lady to change her hairdo. Seriously, that look is so outdated plus no heavy make up. She should emulate the former first lady, Hillary Rodham Clinton in the image department. Sesuai la ngan usia dia kan?

Kak Long's new toy

It all began when Kak Long told me about the trip to Genting Highlands organised by her school recently. She had been talking endlessly about the trip ever since she got the borang mintak kebenaran from her class teacher months before UPSR exam started.

So being the overly concerned parents that we are, the husband and I decided that she should get a handphone for this sole purpose. After all, we didn't want to repeat the same experience we had last year when she was totally unreachable during the Lumut trip. The bus was 2 hours late and we had to call several people to finally be able to talk to her and yg paling sadis tu, we only wanted to know what time the bus will reach home so that I could fetch her on time. Imagine the state of restlessness we went through...sigh!

So, a day before the trip, the husband bought RM20 worth of maxis hotlink pre-paid sim card for Kak Long and had it activated on my old Sony Ericsson handphone. As expected, Kak Long was so over the moon with her new (read: hand-down more like it) handphone. I bet for a kid like her, having a handphone is  probably comparable to getting a flashy sports car for a rich kid's birthday.

From the moment she had her breakfast to getting on the bus to reaching the destination right up to boarding the cable car to ferry them to the theme park, Kak Long had been texting me every hour of the day just to inform me of her whereabouts! Even nak masuk toilet pun nak bagitahu...ish3x. Tak tau la part mana yg dia excited sangat tu, dapat gi Genting ka atau dapat henfon? Hehehe...

It turns out that Kak Long is much more savvy than me in terms of IT skills. I was kinda awed by her superb knowledge on how to upload new applications into her handphone folders and she kept changing her screensavers in a myriad of gothic and edgy themes everyday! Not only that, she had it accesorrized with a chain that looks more like a bracelet with chunky heart shape stones. Huh, typical teenagers!

Anyway, rules are rules. There will be no contacting boys or vice versa or getting their numbers listed in her contact list or otherwise it will be confiscated pronto! I am that paranoid, can never trust too much with impressionable kids these days....huhuhu.

So far, I'd like to think that she has played by my rules.
