After tuition, we headed to Carls Jnr at MVMM to satisfy my cravings. I had a portobello mushroom burger and Alan had a Western burger and we upped our fries to cheesy fries. Ohlala! I had a good time. Enough of healthy food for a while!
Next, we went to the movies and watched the action-packed 12 Rounds. From the start of the till the end of the movie, we sat on the edges of our seats. It was explosive!! :D
Saturday 28 March 2009
We woke up late (can you see our routine by now) and then went to started to pack frantically. Ok not so frantically. After a while, Alan fought some scary monsters on his PS3 and then dozed off on the Osim chair. I cooked us a mean beef and spaghetti lunch and then showered and promptly fell asleep also. hahaha.
In the evening, we headed to MVMM and had dinner at Mdm Kwan's. I had curry noodles and Alan had his classic favourite Nasi Bojari. After that, we went to buy a portable chair at Outdoor and then some hum at Jusco.
It was off to prawn fishing we went, full of enthusiasm and excitement at first. However, an hour later, we left EMPTY-HANDED. hahaha. wtf.
Sunday 29 March 2009
We woke up early today and left for the two classes of obedience training for JJ and COCO. After that, it was fish head beehoon soup. DeliCiOuS!
We went home promptly to pack and then had a looooooooong nap.
Dinner was a fantastic 4 course meal. We brought our frozen prawns to Robson's and asked them to cook it for us. It was fried with salted egg! We also had frogs leg soup and stir fried baby kailan and also mapor toufu!!! Ooooooooohhhhlala!!!!

A Day "At the Movies"!
HELLO AGAIN! I realised I have stopped blogging for a while.. Think it's because there is hardly anything interesting to update about. Life has officially reached stagnation. Just read Daniel Wu's blog. Oh yes, he has one. And his pretty galfriend, Lisa, too. Their lives are so much more interesting, jetting around the world. Oh well, how to compare? ;p
Yesterday, I practically spent the 3/4s of the day in front of the TV. My saga started with Stomp The Yard, as inspirational movie about a black kid trying to forget the past and reclaim his life and then Perfect Stranger followed and I watched Halle Berry seduce the almost bald Bruce Willis. After a short siesta , I decided to tune in to half an episode of CSI Miami and then hopped into the kitchen to cook dinner.
Pork Rib and prawn mee suar soup, steamed prawns and steamed pomfret were served promptly to the Starving Husband and then, after dinner, he proposed we watch a DVD - 10 Promises to My Dog.
It was a very touching and sad Japanese movie about how a girl, whilst growing up and faced with other commitments, gradually forgot her 10 promises she had made 10 years ago to her lil Golden Retriever. Awwwwwww
-spoiler- As the 10 year old dog curled up and waited for the now not so little girl's return home to die, tears started streaming down my cheeks. Sigh. I wonder if Ash feels the same sadness at him being neglected and abandoned?

Some Pictures in Mama sayang
Here are some pictures taken in Mama Sayang-the orphanage in Jakarta, kindly taken by Mike and Jev, the children's caretakers and family. ;) They brought back lovely memories of the Christmas last year, which ALan and I spent meaningfully with the all children and our daughter, Melisa. How I wish we can visit them again soon!
SS2
Monday 23 March 2009
Oh how delightful - I Had no lessons today.
Alan came back a tad earlier and we went to Jln Kuchai Lama to select our tiles for the living room area. After that, we headed to SS2 to take a look at this shop called "A Piece of Art"- all their products there were Balinese and I actually saw a few items which we had seen in Bali and which of course , in the shop, had been marked up.
We spotted a swing which would be perfect in our patio and it cost around Rm3K. Didn't buy it yet - no hurry. Their items are beautiful and very much to our taste.
Dinner was a sinful one at the nearby hawker centre. There were so many stalls open (as compared to when we last hit SS2 for lunch). On our dinner table lay charsiew cheecheong fun, pigs organs soup, prawn noodles soup, 2 pohpiahs and 1 small grilled stingray with sambal. Ooohhhh. MU HiGgHhh.. Then , after polishing everything off their plates, we sweated it out in the pasar malum and quelled the urge to buy durians.

Friday 20 March 2009
We went, after my tuition, to Mid Valley for dinner. Did a quick one at the food court where we gobbled down chicken chop with mushroom sauce (spelt SOS in Malaysia) and a weird and watery cream of chicken soup. Then headed to pick up our tickets and popcorn and to watch The International.
The movie put Alan to sleep whilst I, excited to get out of the house at last, tried to stay focus. Too bad Clive Owen is nothing much to oogle about.. ;p Esp when the lower part of his ear got shot off and was dripping blood..
Saturday 21 March 2009
We woke up late and then headed to the Mid Valley Home furnishing fair. Wow What alot of things to buy for our new house! We picked up a Dunliop Bed which was previously going for RM16K at a steal. Amongst our purchases were a mobile stainless steel clothes rack, laminated timbre flooring for the rooms on the upper floor, etc etc.
By the time we headed out, it was at least 3 hours later and I was EXHAUSTED. We grabbed dinner and then left for home.
Sunday 22 March 2009
The usual Sunday was to bring the dogs for training from 830-1030 and this Sunday wasn't an exception. We received a flyer during the training session of a cafe which opened itself to dog owners and their pups and we had our brunch their with Coco and Jay2 in tow.
Alan had a weird Sarawak laksa whilst I had tomato noodles which would have been better if the noodles had not been deep fried to begin with. After that, we popped in at Dogroomz opposite the cafe to say HI to Liz and her friends before heading for home.
I crashed on the sofa for a cool two hours whilst Alan battled monster after monster in Resident Evil and then after that, we left for Mid Valley again at 3+pm. Our tea was a chicken pao for me and Alan had two half-boiled eggs and some toast at ToastBox. It's not fair!
We went back to the fair and emerged with a package for lights at Alfro and also a namecard for polished tiles flooring for our living room downstairs.
Bangsar was next to pick up stuff at the pasar malum and TMC and after that we had dinner at this delightful cafe which sold great meals. Alan had a prawn cocktail, a beef tenderloin and a cheesecake for RM33 and I had a cabonara for Rm14.80. Nice!
Home Sweet Home.

Our Busy Weekend
Saturday 14 march 2009
We went to the Doctor's at Mid Valley in the late, late morning and then headed to Toast Box for my meesiam fix. In search of more furniture for the house, we roamed around MVMM and found quite a few gems. They didn't come quite as affordable as the ones we had bought in Barang Barang Singapore (at storewide 40% off) though!
After walking up and down for quite a while, we decided to head home first for a catnap before meeting Eric and Ms Lee ( our housing agents) at our new house to do the inventory list and take some photographs. It was drizzling abit when we got there (early) at 420pm. We sat in the car and admired our new house before Ms Lee turned up and opened the gate for us.
After realising that the current owner is actually not that bad, as initially portrayed, we proceeded to chat and walk up and down, taking in the 'facts' of the house and making mental calculations of how much work would be needed to make it OUR home.
After that was done, it was around 5+pm and we headed to Bangsar area nearby to explore.
At 730pm (both parties were late becos of the rain), we met the Kua family at Coconut Flower for a sinful dinner. We had oyster egg, crab ( i only had 1 smallllll pincer lah), vege, herbal chicken, fried lala with sambal etc etc...The rest of the dishes havent been committed to my memory. After the chit chat, we all headed home tiredly at 9+pm.
15 March 2009
Early this morning, Coco started his first obedience class with Michael. Alan handled him whilst I entertained and later got irritated by a busy-body of a little girl named Margret. Jay Jay was his usual jumpy self.
From 930-1030, Jay Jay attended his class but refused to sit /down/ stay. I think he is still traumatised by the incident 2 weeks ago when he was brutally attacked by a dog named Chocky. (They should have named him Chucky) :P
Once lessons were over, we bought some Ipoh Horfun and dimsum from the nearby foodcourt and then headed for home to enjoy our brunch. We both had a little nappy and then went off to bangsar, in the rain, to buy more furniture.
We headed to East India Company and after scouting around, picked a lovely antique chest from China. it had been restored and returned to its original glory. It will be our centrepiece in the dining area. We also contemplated buying a swing from the shop next door. Oh how I would love a swing in the patio area. We actually have the space for it as well!
After that visit, we left for the nearby pasar malum when the rain had dissipated somewhat. Picked up necessities like veges and fruits and then left to TMC to buy some meats and canned stuff.
