A Day At Aquaria KLCC
Daddy took us to the Aquaria KLCC last Saturday. There were so many people around especially since it is the school holiday season. We even had to queue to purchase our tickets. Lunz had fantastic time with the starfishes and that was one of the main reason we brought him there, we knew he loves starfish soooo mucchhhh! Below are the pictures taken in Aquaria KLCC:
This was spotted at the entrance. A pool of starfishes.
You can touch the starfish as long as you keep it under the water and don't squeeze it!
Piranha in the tanks.
Tortoises.
Looking on some reptile in the tank.
Big and tall cylinder tank of fishes from behind.
A pool of dunno what fish but they are quite big.
See...my baby was pointing towards them.
The big big fishes of the amazon forest.
They were really big!
The pool of stingrays.
In the underwater tunnel.
The only shot with mummy because I was the one holding the camera all the time. That's why I didn't got to take many shots.
Underwater small but colourful fishes.
He stood by the tank with the starfish unwilling to go eventhough we told him it was time to move.
We went back to the entrance and let the boy enjoyed his favorite before heading for the exit.
Touching the starfish.
Putting the starfish on the palm.
We got him a fake one on our way out from the souvenir shop.
He love it so much that I asked him to pose along with it.

Going to School Soon!
My little baby will start school soon (January 2009). I just settled his school fees yesterday which cost me RM 958 for a start. The total will include his January fees. So, Daddy will have to start paying his monthly school fees from February onwards. Per month cost around RM 240. Daddy will bear the school fees while I'll take care of the transport fees. The total amount will sustain till the mid of next year where I'll need to fork out around RM 600-700 for the second term to begin. Kindies now a days are getting pretty expensive.
When I settled the balance yesterday, Lydia ( Lunz's pretty teacher) told me there will be an orientation session before the school re-opens. Some where around the final week of December and she will keep me informed when the time comes. I passed to her lunz's 2 passport-sized photograph for record keeping purposes but some how I forgot to gave her a copy of his birth certificate requested along earlier. Absent-minded ME!
My little baby is going to school! I'm so nervous. Questions begin popping up my head. Will he cry? Will he be afraid? Can he get used to the environment? How would his reactions be on the first few days at school? I told daddy that and he asked why I am so worried. I said I will 'sum tung' if he cried non-stop at school. Daddy answered me that I have to let him grow, can't hold him tight to me forever. Everybody will by-pass that stage, he claimed.
I got so excited that I bought him a school bag. I wanted to buy those Mickey Mouse and Bob The Builder version but of course, much much more expensive. But I didn't, because Daddy said no point in buying such good quality for children because they will ended up throwing their bags here and there. Well, I just thought that good quality will not spoilt and damage easily and can be used for a long term. But I accepted Daddy's point of view because to me this kind of morale lessons are also good for the kid. It teaches them not to be materialize and always opt for branded/expensive things at young age. They will not get spoilt easily as they grow up.
Back to me, once I bought him the bag, I wondered what else I need to buy. I mean what else the kindi is supplying? I got so excited that I went looking around for pencil case, colour pencils and water bottles. Then, Lydia told me school will provide pencils but I need to buy him colour pencils instead. And the rest, they will make known to us during orientation day. Duh??!! I mean orientation day is just 1 week before school re-opens. Can't she provide us the details earlier so that we can buy earlier? I don't wanna jam pack with other parents rushing to buy their kids' stuff at the last minute. I guess I will buy him first whatever necessary stuffs that crossed my mind and I know that the kindi isn't providing like pencil colours and water bottle.
I took him for passport photo shooting earlier. 2 reasons that I needed the photographs. 1 is mainly for his kindi and another one is for his Singapore trip. I need to take him for passport making at the Immigrations, maybe around March or April 2009. Hopefully, his looks don't change much till then. It took a lot of effort to persuade him to look at the camera and he kept on making funny faces and gestures. Looking away and even cupped his face with both of his hands. It took the photographer more than 10 shots to get a proper one.
Daddy commented that he looked so grown up in this picture and I had to agree with him. He doesn't look like 3 plus.

The Land Down Under - New Zealand
I was away from the blog sphere for quite some time. And when that happens, it means that I'm really occupied with my job because the only chance that I get to blog is during working hours. Year end is really a busy busy time for me with upcoming projects and stuffs. Apart from working hard, I do get some consolations ----> TRAVELING!!
The first destination, i.e., Hadyai, Thailand was mainly a escapade trip with daddy. But overall, we found out that the trip was not as much fun as we thought that it would be. The food and stuffs were pretty expensive and were not what the others described as CHEAP! And we were stuck in the city because there were no other places to visit. Those tourist attractions were practically too far away from the city area which involved hours of traveling. So, we were caught in the city and the only entertainments that we had were the 'Aqua" Cabaret Show and of course, not to miss, The Tiger Show. Everyone used to say that Hadyai is a worth going place because you get to buy a lot of cheap cheap stuffs like crazy but BEG ME PARDON, that is not the truth. 10 years back and it's a YES but definitely not now a days. Prices has gone soaring high. Conclusion, not a really recommended place to go. But of course, on the good side was we get to relax and spend some quality time together without kid.
The second destination was work related because I was sent there with a colleague to attend a conference. Of course, the place was much much more interesting and I can't denied the fact that if it wasn't for my company, I will not be able to go to such beautiful places. I knew that I will never had such opportunity without forking as much as 6-7K just for the flight ticket. And of course, at such age and at the salary I'm earning, I can only dream of going. New Zealand is one of the country in my list that I wish to go and when the opportunity arised, I knew that finally I had the chance.
When people said that New Zealand is a very beautiful country, no doubt that that is the simple truth. From Auckland, we transited to Rotorua, one of the famous tourist attraction state in New Zealand. Coincidently, our conference was held in Rotorua, so we took the opportunity to visit some of the famous places in Rotorua. We took a day tour around Rotorua which involved 5 famous tourist attraction places. The package includes admission fees, lunch and pickup point from our hotel. Below are some pictures taken and they are breathtakingly beautiful especially if you are seeing it with your own eyes.
The Land of Green, a shot taken from plane.
Me in the city area of Rotorua. All shops closes around 5-6 pm.
Rotorua is famous for its geothermal activities.
Above shot is the famous bubbling hot Mud Pool.
First destination of our tour. The Wai-O-Tapu Thermal Wonderland. Just look at how beautiful the scenery behind me.
This is called the Artiste Palate. A combination of different colours in the pool.
It's Sulfur. The yellow thingy.
The famous Champagne Pool.
Me next to the Champagne Pool.
Second destination. The Waimangu Volcanic Valley.
Breathtakingly beautiful!
Nothing can beat the beauty of The Inferno Crater.
Third destination of our tour. The Rainbow Springs. This is where you get to see the endangered species. The trademark of the homeland. KIWIBIRD!
Next destination was The Agrodome.
We were there for the sheep shearing show.
Last but not least, Te Puia. This is where you get to see the famous geyser.
The Pohutu Geyser that erupted 2-3 times in an hour.
Some scenery along the way in the bus during our post symposium field trip.
The famous Mt. Manganui. We had our lunch here.
A stroll along the beach after lunch.
Beautiful combination of mountain and beach.
The Port of Tauranga
This is a scene that captured my heart.
A shot taken during our departure flight.
Many of my friends actually confessed that they envied my job because I do get to travel to many places which is very true. In just a year I had visited places that I can only dream of going previously, i.e., Amsterdam, Belgium...New Zealand....but is it the truth that when they say that the grass on the other side is always greener? I mean yes, I do get to travel to many places but I do have my worries as well on the other side. God knows how much I missed my boys during the time I was away from homeland. Given a status of being single, perhaps I will have no issue about traveling. Or what about the peanut salary I'm earning? Will you rather have a high salary that you need not worry about your expenses or a peanut salary but you get to travel around the world on company expenses? A friend of mine said she did rather have my role. Maybe different people on different commitment will have different views. Judge for yourself. But for me, I will still enjoy that traveling experience minus the feeling of missing my boys for as long as I'm in MTC.
