18th Decemeber 2007 Tuesday
The driver picked us up for KLIA at 630am and we arrived an our later. To our horror, when checking in, we realised that Alan had not brought with him his paper ticket, assuming that e'thing was electronic.
We contemplated getting the Lanson Place pple to send a taxi-driver with the ticket, amongst many other options but in the end, Alan bought a new one-way ticket back. He will use the other one for his next trip.; p
Our flight was at 0855 and we reached SIN abit late as the flight took off and landed late. Ecstatic that we were back in our homeland, we stood at attention and took the pledge, coupled with the fist our heart thing, and also burst into We Are Singapore song as we waited for our bags.
Daddy was waiting patiently at the gates and we went home to dump our 39.2kg-heavy suitcases. Then it was our Mee Pok Tah fix at Upper East Coast Road and an afternoon nap before dinner.
Alan, Jean and myself left for Suntec City at ard 5 to purchase wat was left to purchase of our winter wear. Thankfully the shops were having their sales as we were still adjusting to spending SGD instead of RM. hahaha. We bought gloves and jackets etc and had a light lunch of Aunty Annie's.
Dinner was at Chong Qing Hotpot and a delicious and satisfying affair - to celeb Ah Ma's bday and also to welcome Alan and I home. We did not leave the restaurant until approx 10pm!
19th December 2007 Wednesday
We woke up late and had a hearty breakfast curtesy of May from Delifrance. Then it was packing for Japan and figuring out what to bring. Alan and I both have dinner plans later at Esplanade No Signboard Seafood restaurant - where the pigging out will begin again.
And then when tomorrow comes, our Japanese adventure will begin - Welcome to the land of weird inventions and slit-eye MCPs. YaY

Monday Blues?
17 December 2007 Monday
Today, we sent Jay Jay away to Robin's house to spend X'mas. We would be away from KL from 18th to 29th so we decided that Robin was the best bet. The lil' fella is too small to be put in boarding houses for pets and they will not take him as he hasn't had his second jab yet. He's just turned 2 months (DOB 12/10/07).
Anyway, Jay Jay and his entourage (of Alan, myself, Robin and Nicky) arrived at Robin's at approx 445pm after we briefed Robin in much detail about JayJay's needs. We filled two plastic bags worth of Jay Jay's barang barang for Robin to use.
After a tearful good'bye, we went to a geomancer near Carrerfour to consult her on Alan's new office fengshui. We learnt many things and it was really quite eye-opening as whatever that Catherine said was quite on-the-dot.
Dinner was delicious and we feasted on steamed fish, pork knuckle stew, vege and thai-styled chicken. Uncle Oleng came to pass Alan some medicine for Ah Ma as well.
If you are guessing that the day was over then, you are wrong...
Robin wanted to purchase this maltese he had fallen for and we all hopped into the car and zoomed down to Petsmore - a newly opened outlet. Ahhh indeed the Maltese was a cutie although abit on the big side. (But of cos Jay Jay won the gold medal in the cute-department.) Since Alan and I had set the standard so high, Robin was still contemplating when we left Petsmore for home.

A Well-Spent Sunday
16 December 2007 Sunday
We woke late today and had a leisurely breakfast at the cafe downstairs. Fried noodles, nasi lemak, yoghurt, etc. *cringe* In a way, I am thankful, we are only allocated breakfasts on the weekends. ;p
After playing a while with Jay Jay, we showered and got ready for the KLCC expedition. Alan had reserved a sweater from Calvin Klein the previous day at Pavilion, to be collected from the outlet at KLCC today.
We arrived at KLCC around noon and begun to walk around. We picked up a different sweater at CK, nicer than the one we reserved..cheaper too! And walked around somemore. I tossed a coin and decided to cut my hair at Saw Salon (instead of Fusion), even though Alan didn't have a very good experience the other time he was there in AUgust.
I left Alan and got into the salon chair, to be served by Andy. Alan went on his way to buy his pressies for his colleagues. In an hour and a half, Alan got back and was astounded to see that his wife was now sporting a very short, boyish hairstyle. He tried to hide his displeasure but I knew him too well. hahaha. He presented me with a very thoughtful present - a Arts and Craft Book from Kino. :D Yay.. I can add to my collection of clay figures already!
Anyway, we continued the Xmas present buying saga. And at the end of the day, all but crawled back to the car to get home to Lanson. Once we arrived home, we quickly got e'thing ready and bathed Jay Jay in his very first bath with his parents. hahaa. The fella splashed around in his bath basin, probably not enjoying every moment of it. After shampooing him and conditioning his fur, we then dried him with the hotel hair dryer. ;D He became our lil' fluff friend again. *grins*
Excited by the prospect of adding to our clay figuring collection, Alan and I flipped open the newly-bought bk and found a cute picture of an Easter bunny inside. Both of us then proceeded to knead the left-over clay according to the instructions printed. A kangaroo-looking Easter Bunny emerged after a while and we sent it into the oven for baking. :)

An evening at the Pavilion
The earlier half of the day was spent in Lanson Place. We woke up at around 9am (Jay Jay let us sleep in this morning) and trooped down to breakfast at the cafe after feeding and playing with our son.
Alan and I then decided to be disciplined and send the clothes for washing. We lugged the brimming basket of soiled clothes to the laundrette on the 12th storey and loaded two washing machine-loads of clothes to be washed. Then we headed next door to the TV-room to catch The Holiday on HBO. Ahhh Jude Law was gorgeous... and his British accent, oooo I like! But Kate Winslet and Jack Black?? Abit... tah match?!?
When the clothes were in the dryer, we went back to our room to start packing up. Oh, by the way, we will be moving to our new home in Mid Valley area on 6 January! So begun our wrapping of all the breakable stuff and stuffing them into boxes. We saw the likes of photo-frames, tea light holders, aromatheraphy burners, and all our beautiful fridge magnets being packed and put away.
The apartment in Mid Valley is much bigger - 1800 sq feet. There will be more room for two pesky lil fur balls as well! And I will be able to cook happily there and do all my baking as the kitchen is big. There is even a backyard to put the two dog cages and they provide a washing machine as well - no more paying 6RM per wash load!!!
Anyway, after everything was done, we showered and took off for Pavilion to catch a movie. Alan took the roads less travelled and we got there at record speed.We chose Warlords - a Chinese movie with 2 yandaoz and 1 old man (Andy Lau, Takeshi and Jet Li respectively) at 640pm.
SHOPPING was next on the list! We hopped in and outta many different shops in search of a nice sweater for Alan and saw some buyable ones in CK, Amarni Exchange etc. I also chanced upon a MANGO sale but as usual couldn't find anything to buy there.
Dinner was settled at the food court and it was a good choice! Food Republic gave its patrons many different options and we chose Taiwanese food tonight. *Smack Lips* A relatively tasteless pohpiah was added to supplement our diet. Then we hurried into the cinema (not before buying a regular popcorn again).
The movie was alright but the scruffy-state of the hunks left abit more to be desired. I cannot understand why the actress was cast as well as she isn't your usual oriental beauty. Oh well..
It was almost 9pm when we stepped out of the cinema and again stepped on the accelerator to get home to feed the starving son (after tucking into a New Zealand icecream cone each).

Does 1 Utama Beckon?
Today is Friday! YaY. Hence begins another weekend of leisure..since when are weekdays not of leisure too? hahaha.
I think we are going to 1 Utama today. I wanna replenish my stock of clay to continue generating the Bear Clan. haha. I will also look out for clay modelling instruction booklets. Maybe can make dogs, cats, etc. More fun! I love Arts & Craft and I am glad I finally have a chance to indulge. ;) It sure beats marking the mountaineous mock exams anyway. bleah. THAT I will NEVER miss.
Anyway, the posting for the JC entry is out and apparently the JCs have risen their standards again. What's with the world man? ;p It's another month before the O Level results will be released as well. Hope all of them will do well :) *pray pray*
Alrightie, I'm busy packing (happily) for Singapore. hahaha. Will update whenever. :D
Evening:
Yes, indeed we visited 1 Utama and had a fruitful time! Today's main motive was to purchase winter wear. Having heard the traumas of visiting Hokkaido in freezing (-15 degrees celcius and below), Alan and I decided to invest somemore to equip ourselves fully.
We ventured into some shops and within ten minutes of having parked the car, Alan had bought me a lovely sweater for 89RM. At another, I bought a t-shirt and a top for mummy. At yet another shop, I bought a demin jacket with a green hood for 89RM too. Original price 149RM. Alan also purchased a thick woollen sweater and a scarf for mama both of which were on sale. :)
Hunger pangs struck after the buying was done and we decided to be adventurous and try a newly-opened Chinese restaurant called Canton-I. The beautiful decor was one-of-a-kind and we started our ordering spree - two bowls of pig inards porridge, 2 egg tarts, 2 salted egg custard buns, 1 chicken feet and 2 glasses of hot soya bean milk. Ooo La Laa... sounds like a feast again yeah? hahaha.
As we were tucking heartily into the delectable dishes, suddenly the lights went out. We were silently glad that we had been served all our orders so we could still tuck in albeit in the darkness. hahaha. After approximately 15mins, the lights came back on, just in time for us to call for the bill.
Ridden with guilt again for abandoning our puny son for an exciting day out, we headed back to Lanson to feed and play with JayJay.

The movie-watching Chambermaid
I love my Gucci!
JayJay, unlike Ash, loves to drink water
I'm teething, excuse me!
Me n my fav (n only) bearbear.
I absolutely forgot how traumatic it is to pick up after dogs. ;p hahaha. I wish all dogs came with their own dog $ht picker. hahaha. O well. Once Ash comes to live with us (in feb) there's be twice is much to pick. hahaha. Laogong, can we get a maid pls? ;)
Today, I decided to be more independent and go watch Enchanted alone. After cajoling, pouting, begging, The Husband was not willing to spend 140mins of his time on something as frivalous, preferring to indulge in gore, frights and death. So thus, I took a taxi in the rain to KLCC to watch my first movie alone in KL.
X'mas tree inside KLCC
I arrive at 415pm and hurried to the queue. Because it was still early, it was still not very long and it moved quickly. I purchased "Enchanted" at 445pm and then went to walk around before the show started. Ahhhh KL is on sale because of X'mas and I excitedly hit the shops to burn some time before the show started.
I almost purchased a pair of shoes on 50% off but they did not hv it in my size. I roamed around somemore with my trusty Nikon and then went to queue to enter the cinema.
The ceiling of KLCC - nice yea?
Enchanted unfortunately, did not leave me as the name suggested and I thanked the heavens above that I did not subject The Husband to such painful torture. I was very tickled by the squealing chipmunk though. ahahhaa. I think he stole the show.
I met Alan and his colleagues at 7pm at the foodcourt for a quick dinner. The Yoshinoya set dinner (beef don and a bowl of miso soup) cost us only RM8.90! And the beef, unlike in Singapore, surpassed the rice in terms of quantity!!Then, it was back into the cinema (this time with a packet of popcorn-sweet) to catch I AM LEGEND. Quite a heart-stopping show and heart-wrenching at times too. But the ending left much to be desired. No spoilers here - go catch it. ;p
After the movie, overcome by guilt, we rushed back to the apartment to feed and play with Jay Jay who had been alone for the whole day! Poor baby!!

A Sleepy Wednesday
Woke up to the sounds of Jay Jay whining at 815am this morning. Oh dear, the lil' pup's gonna prevent me from sleeping in every morning already ;p He squeals and whines alot and is quite an attention-seeker. He hates to be locked up and loves to be let out and able to run around the house. I have almost stepped on him a couple of times yesterday and today - he is so very small!
Went out for lunch with the Husband just now and we headed to the Chinese Village to eat the steamed fish again. Today we even had a bowl of (RM6!) wanton soup to accompany our steamed fish and stir-fried veges.
Now I am stoning in the living room and fighting the sleep bug. Soothing music's on to lull Jay Jay into a slumber.. but it's working on me too!
In the evening:
It was late when Alan knocked off and fought his way through the congested roads. And since we were still brimming with all the Omega 3 from lunch, we decided that dinner would be a late affair. It was 745pm when we hurried to Hock Choon (which closes at 8) to pick up some necessities and some wants. We bought baby wet wipes for Jay Jay, some honey to make hot drinks with and also a packet of Vico. Vico is the Malaysian version of Milo. Very chocolatey, very Milo! Di Que Mei Miao! haha.
Then Alan brought me to the Japanese restaurant which he always dined in alone when I was not around for a light meal. I had Salmon porridge which came in a claypot and he had a sashimi set. Healthy and delicious. My porridge was very comforting as it was drizzling outside and very chilly. (Sorry no pics. Didn't bringt Nikon out.)
We then went home to watch Mr Brooks on DVD - weird and boring show. ;p
