At the Gold Mine :

a brief introduction on the quarry by their representative.

a very impressive Quarry phase.

Step no 1 : blast the rocks and transport it to the crusher.

This plant cost about 100 million USD.... wow...so expensive...

STEP 2 : The blasted rocks will be transported to this crusher to crush them to smaller size.

Step 3 : the smaller size aggregates will be added with chemicals in this section to separate the gold component with others.

Step 4 : the moment we have been waiting for...the gold room...nyekk..nyekk..nyekk...

Hubby took me to Plaza GM in KL just to experience the car lift.hmmm....is Malaysia getting more and more advance or I am getting more and more out dated.

i am waiting anxious and very excited for my first car lift ride. Waiting for the green light. The door will opens once the light turns green.

Happy Father's Day

2009-06-24T22:32:00.005+08:00

Phuket ohhh Phuket...Beachess......tom yammm.....shopping....ah kua show....Famly get-2gether- CANCEL-
.
.
.
WHY?
.
.
.

because of the A(H1N1) laaa.... mum and dad fears that their grandkids and preggy daughter in law might got infected ahh....well, being a daredevil, of course i insisted to go ...but then..thinking of the lil ones...i have to step back and listen to my dad and mum'd lecture on the consequence.
.
.
.
so phuket is replace by cameron highlands...1 hour flight replace by 1 hour carride...hmm...
.
.
.
anyway, will plan for another family oversea trip after the A(H1N1) subside....

the kids were very happy when we told them that we are going up to the mountain again....they love wearing their sweater...

cameron..boh tea plantation...kinda hipnotised by the beauty of it.

a little settlement at the tea plantation.

me at the tea house located on the boh tea plantation...

princess mm posing .....wahh....future model?

so cold and yet mw was having his icecream...Dr Lee his pediatric will be furious when he finds out bout this....

A proud grandma and her youngest grandchild. Titi will be having a younger cousin in 3 months time....kekeke...

one happy family at the tea house...special place, special location, special tea,special price as well...

one happy family....our family has been extended from 5 ppl to soon to be 11 in just about 5 years time ..100% increase.....better than any shares in the share market..so papa....consider to invest in this investment...i can guarantee u a bull market every year

the gans....one happy family...

the kids at the tea centre..excited as usual...

a strong grandpa and his fatty grandson at the tea factory...papa still so strong..he managed to carry mw around..wow impressive as mw is gaining lots kilos lately...

at cameron, the most obvious fruit will be the strawberries...

one of the special plant ..dontknow wat its name...

Coming back from cameron, mum ordered a special ice cream cake in conjunction of mw bday and father's day. why ice cream cake? why not cheese cake....hhuhhhuuhhh..mum put her grandkids first place rather than her daughter's...huhhuhhuhh.....

mm as usual being a messy eater.....

finally:

beaches replaced by highlands,

tomyam replace by strawberries,

ah kua show replace by the cheeky moves from the kids,

shopping for thai products replace by cameron products...

Its a family gathering afterall. Regardless on where it is, as long as everyone is happy and...of course safe...then it achieve its objective...

i think for the time being, no more family trips, no more shopping trips as the A(H1N1) is spreading to more and more people day by day.

its a lot safer to confine at home for this time....

Tough....

2009-06-12T01:45:00.002+08:00

Life is getting tougher and tougher as the age is getting older and older. Career and family...which one to choose... I realize that we cant excel in both...either career or family.. one thing for sure...i am really exhausted trying very hard to cope up with both of them.

People used to tell me..,kids and babies light up our life and bring happiness to the family. No doubt that they are right...sometimes. But most of the time, life is full of frustration, anger, dissappointment and sadness.

Bosses demanding work to be done urgently, kids demanding for attention, baby demanding for time...i felt very exhausted trying to rush from one point to another. Whenever i try to put a little more attention on work , i do feel that i neglected the family. When i do spend more time with the family, i do feel that i dont pay attention to my work. Work crisis and family crisis happens every day and really add more colour to my exhausted life. Life is full of ups and downs and i do believe that i am really on my downs ...i think the only thing i really need now ....is a good shoulder to lean on , a pair of ears to listen and a pair of hands to guide me out from this darkness...

tough...tough...tough....

hmm...am i getting post pregnancy depression?...hmm...need to check with the doc soon as i am getting insomnia now....worried worried...

Missing those days in BM class......

The Little Nyonya ...drama

2009-05-20T12:53:00.002+08:00

Finish watching The Little Nyonya drama 2 days ago. I am very impress with the story line and kinda addicted to it. That is why i highly recommend this drama to those drama lovers. Even though this drama is in Mandarin, but it does have English Subtitle for those non chinese ed. I even watch till 2am everynight...

The story begins from the 1930s, spanning over 70 years till modern day.

Juxiang is born into a big Peranakan family where her mum is a mistress. She is gentle, beautiful and a fantastic cook. Born deaf-mute, she is ostracized by people. Right before the Japanese Occupation in Singapore, she is forced to marry a rich Peranakan as a mistress. Juxiang resists the marriage and runs away from home. She then meets a young Japanese photographerand after many obstacles, they finally get married and Juxiang gives birth to a daughter Yue Niang. During the World War, Juxiang is tortured and both her husband and her dies leaving behind their 8-year-old daughter.
Yue Niang is passed around families and eventually ends up at her grandfather's house. Under the supervision of her grandmother, Yue Niang learns to cook Peranakan dishes and sewing. She grows up looking exactly like her mother and is exceptionally beautiful. After the war, her maternal relatives who ran away to England to seek refuge during wartime return home. Yue Niang then leads the life of her mother – always discriminated, beaten up and tortured. She puts up with all these in order to protect her grandmother.

Yue Niang's pretty looks incurs jealousy from her cousin and attracted many rich Peranakans to chase after her. However, she only has eyes for penniless driver Chen Xi.
Chen Xi actually comes from an educated and wealthy family. He hides his identity to be with Yue Niang. Yue Niang's kindness, pureness and persistence move Chen Xi and he loves her deeply too. Unfortunately, their relationship is filled with many obstacles and difficulties. Under pressure from his family, Chen Xi is forced to marry Yue Niang's cousin instead. Yue Niang is then sold to a butcher, Liu Yi Dao.
Yue Niang is unwilling to accept the fact that her life is always manipulated by others and decides to end her own life. Yue Niang's strong personality impresses Liu Yi Dao and they become sworn siblings instead. Yue Niang decides to choose her own path in life. She begins learning how to run a business and in the process, she is framed and ousted from her business. Although she is badly hit, she manages to overcome the odds and save her declining family business. Sadly, her love life has yet to begin a new chapter with no news about her lover, Chen Xi.

After watching this drama, i cant wait for this confinement to be over to try some nyonya delicacy........
