Post Holiday Syndrome or Jinx?

All of us had post holiday syndrome after we came back from Bali.  One girlfriend missed the early morning swim and another missed the outdoor toilet.  Their respective other halves missed the driver and the 5 star service.

Aahhhhh! It was all nice and although I can't say that I'm rejuvenated but I am really happy for the holiday maybe because I finally can feel what it's like to be a family of 3 without the extended families. Just the 3 of us....basically I can just put my legs up and lie on the sofa as and when I wish...have a cup of tea while Aston is napping....cutting fruits for Aston while he is just there playing.  ( I always imagine that while I'm cooking Aston is always playing nearby)  I guess this is my post holiday syndrome.

Back to reality! The next day after we came back I met up with my friends and everything was fine until I drove into someone's car when I came out of the parking without me realising until I reached home! Bleh! It was horrible! I felt so guilty and sorry for the car next to me.  Don't ask me how I don't realised it because I really didn't felt it.  All I felt was a bump which I thought I hit something hard on the road.  I stopped and looked back and everyone was minding their own business..no one was chasing after me so I thought oh no problem.  Lo and behold this is what happened!


The Damage
The recovery by Daddy's polishing.  TQ!


Now why do I say it's a post holiday syndrome or jinx? Well, this is what happen exactly the next day after we came back from Bangkok in May.

:(
Needless to say, we had to send into the workshop to give him a reconstructive surgery.

So what do you think? Pure bad luck? Holiday jinx? Or ........ ?  Whatever it is...go away!

I am Back!!!

Helloooooooo Friends! (I learned this greeting from Aston and he learned it from Pocoyo!) It's been 7 months since I logged in to Blogspot.  So much have happened since my last update that I don't know where to begin!

Well, first and foremost let me explain why the long hiatus.. see first of all with the current security especially on cyberspace I don't feel secure posting photos on the WWW because anyone could just steal my photos and use it without me knowing! So, apparently we are suppose to watermark our photos before posting them on the WWW to prevent theft.  As expected I got stuck trying to figure out how to watermark the photos.  I know...I know I could easily asked Mr. Google but...... OK fine...I was lazy! Anyhow....I finally manage to figure it out and hopefully I can restart my blogging engine and post more frequently.

That's all for this post...hopefully my next post won't be 7 months later! ;)

A New Toy For Daddy!

Last weekend we had quite a relaxing Saturday.  We woke up quite early... well earlier than usual and got ready to pick up Russ to go for his grooming session.  We also picked up our maid and took her for lunch and then back to our condo to assist us on cleaning our place.  Yes.. both mummy & daddy been really lazy and now we are relying on "kakak" to help us clean our nest!

While she's cleaning both of us were also cleaning our wardrobe and clearing the store room so that "kakak" can come and stay with us during the confinement month.  After that, we took a rest and daddy was watching his favourite Astro channel which is the sports channel but it wasn't playing any sports it was a show where they review all the PS3 or X Box games.  Both of us got so impressed and engrossed with the games that they showed and couldn't believe how detail the graphics were.  Then daddy said maybe we should go check it out.  Obviously, I was quite keen because I have been thinking for months whether to get a Wii or not.  We hesitated initially but after the review I decided to reward daddy for being such a supportive husband and daddy by offering to buy it for him so we headed to Sunway Pyramid.   

When we arrived in Pyramid we head straight to the digital mall and were absolutely clueless! First we entered a shop inside the digital mall but it was really packed with people so we decided to walk out.  We walk out of the digital mall and there was another stand alone shop manned by youngsters.  Daddy said let's go ask them and see how much we are going to get slaughtered.  Surprisingly, the guy that was servicing us was quite friendly to explain to us the difference between PS3, XBox and Wii.  This is how we made our decision to get the X Box. 

Wii - Graphics not as good as X Box or PS 3
PS3 - Can't play pirated games
X Box - Able to play pirated games and graphics is much better

So I told daddy we should give X Box a try and then I further asked about Kinect.  I got excited when he introduced me this sophisticated gadget.  It works like a Wii with the exception that we do not need to hold on to anything! How cool is that! We decided to get it as well and while the guy was testing the console out with Kinect boy did we draw crowd to the shop! After everything, we couldn't wait to go back and try it but unfortunately daddy had a wedding dinner to attend and I had dinner plans with one of my girlfriend.  So we had no choice but to test the new toy later in the night. 

As usual, when two girls go out for dinner we yak and yak and yak and must have dessert to continue gossipping away so by the time I reached home it was already close to 1am.  I bought home supper for daddy and was quite dissapointed when daddy said our living room is not big enough for the kinect to detect the player.  Daddy said he will figure something out tomorrow because he's very dizzy now and he needs to sleep! I just laughed ! He's dizziness was from playing the Xbox games! He said that he's getting too old for all this games.  The graphics are making him dizzy!

The next morning we woke up early again and went to La Bodega for brunch at Empire.  After such a heavy brunch, we bought some "kueh" from Nyonya Colours and also a pack of Nasi Lemak and Mee Hoon Siam just incase we get hungry later on during the day.  After we got home, daddy finally found a corner far enough for the Kinect to detect the player but only able to accommodate one player at a time and we started playing.  We had so much fun because it's really funny to see each other's reaction while they are playing with their hands and feet swinging everywhere! And mind you the Kinect even take photos of you while you're playing!

Both of us think that is a good buy because we had so much fun! Can't wait for the weekend so that we can play again!
