This is an overdue posting of my convoy trip to Ipoh last year's Christmas.
It was a virgin trip, and having to travel for about 8.5 hours to reach Ipoh...
Though was a long and tiring journey, but it was very experential for everyone.
There were Tesco and Jusco shoppping malls just like in JB, lots of green and huge mountains, and we had a great adventure of exploring a mining cave. We also visited The Lost World which had a water theme park just like our Wild Wild Wet, and The Lost World comprised of a Mini Zoo too. And we also visited a deserted castle - Kellies Castle.

Updates
It has been a week since the school re-opening and I've resumed my work back at office. Has been feeling happy for the entire week, especially to see my GK progressing into P3, Celeste into P2, Malcom into P1, Mabel into K2, Jacie into Nursery class. And good news to welcome the arrival of Ryan on 20 Dec 09! Congrats to Alicia, and hope she is enjoying her bonding with baby Ryan and maternity leave.
For GK, this year they are in different classes, and every night before sleep, I enjoyed hearing their daily stories happening around them in their respective class. They are so enthusiastic to share their stories and that really give me a chance to know more about their classmates and teachers.
Updates on Ed. Few days ago, Ed sms-ed me to borrow $ from me, but I was hesitant to do so. Hence consulted Ed's mum. Aunt was angry with Ed to learn about this, and ever since Ed has been enlisted into NS since 16 Dec, he has been asking for $ every now and then from Aunt, for his purchase of stuff needed for his NS. And I was shocked to hear that ever since on Ed's bday on 31 Oct, he has never been home to sleep at night. He has never want to confess where he spent his nights. And he only appears at home in the day and goes missing for the rest of the night. There have been occasions when Ed returned home in the day, with a gal waiting outside the door; and this gal (aged abt 20 plus) was holding on 3 kids with her.. hmm.. Aunt is worried, but Ed claimed that that gal is her friend only.
This evening, about 8 pm, Aunt called me and wanted me to sms to get him to come home for dinner and get ready to book in for his camp. It is usually that Ed came home so late on his book-in day, usually he would leave by 4 pm plus and said that he is booking in to the camp. But today, he returned home at 2 pm (yesterday came back to pass his clothings for Aunt to wash, then went out whole day till today 2 pm), then said he was going to NUH to see doctor and at 5 pm plus, called Aunt to inform her that he was waiting for his medical report. Aunt got worried when by 8 pm, Ed was still not back home to bring his stuff to get ready for book-in.
Today is also the day when Ed's dad is leaving to KL to work for his brother, and he says that he will only likely be back once a month to home. Before he left for KL this morning, he told Aunt that he saw Ed with a big group of friends, including the gal with the 3 kids.
I can understand that Aunt is getting more worried for Ed now, as now Ed's dad is not going to be home to 'help' her 'look after' Ed... I can sense she is feeling stressful over Ed.
And also at home there are 2 Singtel bills waiting for Ed to settle; one is $300 plus and the other is $400 plus. Ed's dad told Aunt that the 2 bills are for the Ed's Broadband and Hp bill respectively. But is Ed going to and be able to settle them? Looks like will be a burden to Aunt again.... haiz...
This afternoon we went Wholesale Centre and I helped Brother to buy some groceries, dried stuff and vegetables. Then also visited Megan. Ahahaha... Megan is four-month-old now and she is botak! Really looks more like a boy now... unfortunately, i din bring up my hp or camera so din take her pics. Will do it on my next visit.

GK's Drawings
Last week managed to do some housekeeping of the shelves and drawers, and found a stack of drawings which I have collated since from 2005 - 2007.
To me, they were very talented those days, as at the starting 4 years old, the age of exploring using writing and drawing equipments, they have keen interest in drawing out the characters freely just from the image of the after-watching-the-shows, without copying at any pictures...
Some of the drawings were sort of so accurate that at one glance, I was able to recognise the characters which they were drawing... MIL always praised that they have talents in this area... but as they grow up, now they are more keen to playing with games instead of drawings...
I missed those days when I see them seriously and concentrating on drawing works...
Here are some of the master pieces from GK:

Chalet Gathering at Goldkist (4 - 6 Dec 09)
Here's our regular chalet gathering! Unfortunately, couldn't get any unit from the Hometeam NS or the Aloha, hence, ended up booking a expensive and small chalet at the Goldkist (East Coast).
$228/night, expensive sia!
Poor customer services, room service....boo!
Poor condition of the chalet; dirty and vandalised wall, leaking aircons.... urgghhh!
Poor security; Lack of privacy and too open to any Tom, Dick and Harry...and Steph's sandals kena stolen... *sh*t*
Somemore on the 1st night, 4th Dec, our next door unit kena raided for illegal gambling....
Our kids swimming in the pool... K says must called it a 'shallow pool'...no fun...
Had to bring in our bbq pit to our narrow balcony due to bad weather...*smoky chalet unit*
Crowding around the one and only table....
Entertainment of the night for the kids

Updates of E
So long no news of E.... and wanting to blog this updates after receiving a call from E's mum this morning.
E's mum queried about whether E's POSB savings account does still exist as he told his mum that he had already cancelled his bank passbook and is currently only holding the atm card.
This incident arises from E's mum who has been retaining E's bankbook and will regularly update the passbook via the passbook updating machine. But some days back, the passbook kena 'eaten' by the machine.... she went in to the bank counter to check and to learn that E has earlier reported that his bank passbook was lost and did not ask for make a placement of the passbook.
I could understand why E is doing so; he just doesn't want his mum to track his salary income. He bluffed that account is no longer exist and that he was only holding on a 'non-valid' atm card. E's mum felt puzzled that then what will happen to the pay from the future NS service... I doubt so... and determined that E is up to his nonsense again....
More nonsense to come...
E has been working in Courts over the past few months, and reported to his mum that he is earning $800 plus/month. However, the recent month salary could not be claimed because he has lost the punch-card (for recording of schedules/work hours). He had asked and explained to the company but company said he would not be able to get his pay without the punch-card. E told his mum he is going to complain to MOM....I say, 'let him go to MOM... This is not the first time i am hearing stories of him not given or paid for his work....'
I don't buy his stories....
I'm getting worried for aunt... dunno what loads of shit that he will be creating in his NS life....
*shook my head*
