Not Surprise BUT Surprise

Ashviqha's Posting:

Father's Day was around the corner and we were not decided on the gift. Mommy was saying it's a burden to get the brain to do the thinking. Knowing Mommy's brain capacity, Papa gave a wishlist. Initially Mommy wanted to get him Play Station but then this item wasn't in the wishlist. Guess Papa must have known that the PS will be out of control (we girls are also aiming for one :) )

He wanted a Liverpool jersey badly so we decided to get him one. Mommy went hunting (so called surprise gift), manage to find one but was extremely cheap...what else ..that was a fake jersey. She was extremely tired looking for one so ended up calling Papa asking him where to buy the original jersey. Haha... so there goes the (not) surprise gift. I freaked out knowing that this gift is no more a surprise gift. :((

Mommy was smart enough to make not suprise as a surprise gift. Isn't that confusing? I was too in the beginning.

Mommy bought the jersey in Empire Subang, left in the car booth. She came back home with a very sad face "I'm sorry i tried my best but I couldn't, why don't we get it in KLCC tonite?"-There goes Papa searching in the net (for hours) where to purchase one.
The same nite ( a day b4 Father's Day) we went to KLCC for dinner at Chakri's (before that the jersey was put into Mommy's huge handbag)

(After dinner)------TADADA...''Papa, we got a small gift, we know you are eargerly waiting for your jersey, but this could sooth you down". There he goes with the sad face opened the present.....

"WHATTTTTTTTTT I got LIVERPOOL jersey"

And now you can see the BIG smile on his face...

...finally parading the jersey, before cutting the father's day cake.

Audition

Levinkha's Posting:

Recently akka was called for an audition for a tamil drama. She only knows 'konjum konjum tamil' and yet she was there for the audition. Mommy was all stressed out teaching her to act before the audition. (Mommy had the experience once, so I guess that helped her!).

Akka's acting wasn't too bad, but the accent doesn't fit in situation at all. Hehe :) Guess what??? She was blacklisted in the tamil film forever! Oooops let me put in a soft manner, "she wasn't chosen for the time being". I guess in future she would make it at least for the money we spend monthly on her drama class.. :)

Akka, waiting for her turn...

...and this is Mommy during her audition at RTM back in 2009. Mommy says she was made to look like 'Hantu' hosting a programme...:) We had to crop this photo, as her lips are like 5 times bigger than Ning Baizura's (i'm sure you know what I mean).

FYI she was chosen to host a special programme with the 1 Malaysia concept called 'Malaysia 2030'. But later the programme was scrapped due to budget constraint. Well, she was called again for Malay news reading in the afternoon , but too bad Mommy works with the Gomen in the afternoon and there goes the offer...Mind you, GOMEN is not as easy as you think...hosting also needs permission from DG. Her DG agreed on hosting but only RTM allowed (you know why??? )...LOL :)

Historical Jeans

Ashviqha's Posting:

I'm still wearing the same jeans which I wore when I was 4...How cool is that? I have outgrown the jeans yet still useable. Haha.....Mommy says it's amazing to see me wearing the same jeans till today. From a long jeans it became half jeans for me. OK that makes sense to me but I wonder how i could fit in the waistline? Didn't that waist/hips of mine grow since I was 4???

Happy Mother's Day

Levinkha's Posting:

As usual Akka and PaPa did not reveal much about the Mother's Day(MD) gift as they knew I can't keep secrets! Here goes MD..simple yet classy gift for Mommy from us (but then from PaPa's pocket)....
Apart from that, this year MD is one of a kind to remember for the rest of our lives! We will never forget this MD till the day we rest in peace....you know why?

HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY

She's Funny

Ashviqha's Posting:

'She' was meant for my little sister who goes crazy most of the time...She's more of a joker in the family who makes us laugh and cry at the same time. Recently....

Mom: How is Kakak when Mommy not around? Does she beat you?
L: No...
Mom: Did Kakak feed you lunch today?
L: Yes...
Mom: Did Kakak scold you?
L: No.....
.

( After some time...)

Mom: Did Kakak beat you when Mommy and PaPa not around? (Note: Slight twist in the question)
L: Aiiiiyyoooo..my GOD! How many times you asked me..I said No..No... He love me OK!
Mom: (In the state of shock)...U mean 'She' love's' you?
L: Yaaa...

___________________________________________________________________________________

L: Mommy, can tell me bedtime story?
Mom: It's too late baby, tomorrow OK?

An Avatar of Compassion

Bhagwan Sri Sathya Sai Baba was an avatar of compassion, love, and selfless service for all mankind.

Universal Studio Singapore

Ashviqha's Posting: This post has been been pending for some time and I guess today's the right day to Xpose the trip to USS. Some tips for those planning for a USS trip: 1) Get your ticket purchased online because only certain number of tickets sold each day. 2) Be there as early as 9am. 3) Bring your cap, you got to walk in the hot sun most of the time. 4) Bring a water bottle and you can refill your bottle as much as you want from the water coolers. 5) Get ready with your camera because you'll bump into Marilyn Monroe, Charlie Chaplin etc..etc..fuyoooo that was an amazing experience, seeing all the dead people walking around you ! 6) Take extra clothes because there's a tendency of getting wet. 7) Don't bother smuggling food into USS coz, you can get delicious food with affordable price in the cafeteria. Needless to say about the briyani in Oasis Spice Cafe.

Sci-Fi City, much more than a robot city..

Glimpse of USS

That's the dino eggs, huge and I guess that's a fake one!!

This one in front of Fiona's castle. You know Fiona? That's Shreks wife.

Here comes our favourite ogre.

Levi's

Levinkha's Posting:

Nah, presenting to you my bums...ooops sorry my first Levi's. Hey, when did you get your 1st Levi's?

...

Ashviqha's Posting:

Hi everyone...I feel new to this blogging world, feel a bit left out too. It's quite sometime since I updated this blog. And some of you did e-mail, message Mommy through FB and asked personally what exactly happened? Well, the answer is very simple. All of us were attacked by so called Lazyocriptumumus virus and it took some time to recover. Oooh finally we are feeling much better to start this brand new year. Perhaps, we have quite a number of juicy stories lined up for you people out there.

Quick update of 2011:

• Started schooling in January. Was too excited to go to Standard 2 especially the first day...Why? Coz I was chosen to be a prefect. Mmm...with new uniform and the 'new' smell from it was great!



• Levinkha and I are behaving more like sisters now. We started quarelling for things like bangles and jewelleries; and kungfu fight is a must in our life now. Hey that's a great milestone for us!


• Levinkha finally experienced her flying journey with Everyone Can Fly!



• Last week we went to Singapore with Universal Studio being our main intention. (special posting on US will be up soon)

Quick Updates..

Dimo the Fish

Ashviqha's Posting:

Presenting to you our new pet Dimo The Fish.

Guess what, I spent the whole day playing Monopoly with Harnisya Akka & Thisheelan Anna today. I can't even catch a glimpse of it for the next 1 week. Tired and exhausted I would say. Haha:) And that's when Harnisya Akka gave me her fighting fish with mini aquarium. I was quite nervous to bring it back home thinking how would Mommy react with this extra bundle of joy in the family. Oh! She proved me wrong.

Who's who?

Levinkha's Posting:

Guess who are these kids?

These are faded pix. from an ancient album. I'm sure some of you are wondering what's their age now…Not too old , probably in 30s. The first one is obviously a boy and the second is girl. The boy looks chubby and cute. Guess he must be a handsome man now. The second looks pathetic (as if 1st time posing for the camera) and looks like wasn't given food for months. Wakaka....

WHO's WHO?

That's PaPa and Mommy when they were small. People say Akka looks like PaPa and I look like Mommy...IS THAT TRUE??? Let's compare...

Girls' Only Party

Ashviqha's Posting:

Hi everyone, how was Diwali? We had a simple celebration in Ipoh this year. Aattha bought pretty dresses for us to mark the auspicious day. But unfortunately the photos are not avaiable as we didn't carry our camera. Probably later when we are free we would pose for the camera to capture our beautiful dress (the dress is getting shorter day by day...or we are getting taller day by day).

Let's get back to title here. Last Sat, Mommy organized Girls' Only Party for me. It was a blast!! Originally we wanted to have a small birthday party with games but unfortunately Mommy was away in Peine, so we decided to postpone the event....got postponed till I never realized that we actually planned one! So the theme was ONLY GIRLS! But guess what we had a super gorgeous hero who made our day. Jeng...jeng...

11 of us...small but a loud group. No wonder Mommy lost her voice end of the day. (Mommy & PaPa: 'How the teachers in school can survive with you ppl? Amazing!!)

Before the party started...From left, Annie Tang, Pramiqha (kindy friend), Bibi(neighbour) and Natalie. Waiting for more to come.

Simple decor by PaPa...

My darling sister, part of the party too!

Having delicious meal...anyone on the next two floors?

Yumm..yumm..

Getting ready for the cake cutting. That's my Barbie cake. She was looking gorgeous, sad to CUT & EAT her!!

Ohhh, she's looking sweet with this outfit.

Mommy organized few games such as Statue dance, poison box, musical chair and talent time. The girls enjoyed collecting lots and lots of presents. Even the loosers get present...how generous Mommy can be!!



Finally, all of us sat down, opening the birthday gifts. Thanks friends for all the wonderful gifts...

ANDDDDDDDD this is the HERO I was talking about, Andy Tang. He's my classmate Annie Tang's bro. We are from the same school and he's in Satndard 5. He asked Mommy if he could join the party as well. Mommy had no choice but to accept him. But trust me, PaPa and Mommy just loved him sooo much for the way he is. He was assisting PaPa and Mommy conducting the games. He was jovial, funny, .........(list goes on). If there's another party here, difinetely Andy Tang will be in the top of the list. Thanks Andy for cheering up the party!

Overall it was a great party. Mommy got some feedbacks from my friends....

'Aunty this party is the best in the WORLD'. 'Pls invite me next time if there's any party'. 'This is the first party with lots of game and presents, just love it'.

LESSON LEARNED:

1) More games with more presents will be exciting
2) No heavy food like Mee Hoon. Sausages and nuggets will be the best!
3) Plan early and do a proper invitation card, not a last minute one with hand drawn map...
4) Get a microphone
5) 2-in-1 birthday (Levinkha's and mine), so that we don't end up fighting for the birthday gift.
6) Prepare a BIG plastic bag for everyone, to put all the presents in.

Birthday, Birthday & Birthday

Ashviqha's Posting:

Hey, we stopped at Levinkha's birthday and some you wanted to know how we celebrated Papa's birthday. Mmm simple I would say. The older you are the simpler it get. Hehe...But this time we thought of celebrating 2-in-1 birthday since PaPa's is on 15th Sep and mine on the 16th Sep.

Just us with grandparents...

On 16th we had special lunch. Indonesion cuisine in Anggerik Kuring. Authentic Javanese food.

The speciality there is the Ayam Presto (Soft Bone Chicken). Bones are extremely soft so you can eat it just like that. I guess Presto means the 'chicken is cooked in high pressure'. But the chicken wasn't too soft. Mmm it's a bit complicated!

Next one, is the Ikan Joget (Dancing Fish). Dancing & also SMILING...:) Posing habis this fish...Hey Fish, thanks for the wonderful dance, we enjoyed your dance in our tummy too...wakaka!

That's all the wrap up on 15th & 16th Sep....now let's move backwords to 13 Aug. Yay it was Mommy's birthday and trust me this is the best birthday gift ever to our dearest Mommy. 13 Aug sharp 12am, PaPa came back home with a small mini cake, woke me up and I managed to. We woke up the birthday girl and she was all shocked. And later that day about 10am we left somewhere bheading south. PaPa was like 'DOn't ask me anything, just FOLLOW ME'. We knew it must be somewhere in PD coz we manage to guess BUT the MOST exciting part was ................

We put up in Legend International Water Homes....Oh my....all three of us were speechless! Speechless after we saw the private swimming pool in the room...........

What else....the immediate action we could think of is jumping into the pool. And we did!

It was exciting to be in the pool-room-pool activity!

The pool wasn't lonely, even at nite.
