Kids Pictures - Now and Then

Zac was just 4 months old.... while Amber was just 2 years old (2007).
Now - this was July 2008, about one year later!. Wow... how fast time flies...

Beijing Olympics

(Hmmm... i wonder how much these costs in Ebay?)


The start of the ultimate sporting event is here.... yes its the Olympics - in Beijing!
Sadly... i missed the opening ceremony... and subsequently fell ill too.

So far... our only hope is in badminton (hopefully squash will be introduced soon while Nicol is still numero uno. As of now LeeCW is in the semi-finals. If he's out, then maybe I will turn my attention to EPL .... since its this weekend. LOL!

Birthday Bash

The party at Vincent and Jayne's house.
Thanks to Kit who planned everything... i just did the invites and do the driving...
Not forgetting my mother-in-law who cooked 90% of the food ;-)
And our guests who came....

Amber's 3rd Year party

Finally, we are back to celebrate Amber's birthday. We sort of skipped her 2nd year - due to lack of planning. This time, she decided to select her theme; Pooh and Friends... looking forward to it!

Inflation for 2008

My monthly traveling expenses will shoot up to RM600 from RM400. This is in tandem with the increase of RM1.00 per litre for diesel purchase.

I was trying to pump yesterday for the old price, RM1.58/L before the new price RM2.58/L but the queue (if there's one) is horrendous! Can't the govt increase it slowly every few months to cushion the effect of spiring oil prices. Yesterday, it was really chaotic... all over M'sia.
Makes me wonder, what did the PM Bodowi said before, "No price increase until Sept".

From Malaysia-Today:
'I am not angry about the increase in the price of petrol when Abdullah Ahmad Badawi could not avoid increasing it. I am angry that he was forced to increase it. Why was he forced to increase it? And what happened to the estimated RM2 trillion that Petronas has earned over 34 years since 1974? And why are the accounts not made public or tabled before Parliament? Was not Petronas set up through an Act of Parliament via the Petroleum Development Act 1974? Therefore, should not Parliament have the power and authority to demand that Petronas table its accounts before Parliament? Why are the accounts secret? And why should Petronas report to only one man?

Petronas should be turned into a pubic listed company. Petronas should be called Petroleum Malaysia Berhad or Petromas Bhd or PMB and it should be listed on the Kuala Lumpur Stock Exchange and its accounts should be made public like all other public companies.'

Shame on the Govt!

Global Outreach Day

It was good to bring dad out - to get him outwardly focused.



This girl has a good sense of attachment to us, as she delighted to be with us.


It was a good time with the volunteers of HOPE Worldwide. We went out to help the Rumah Cacat Kanak-Kanak at Taman Megah, with lots of food, gifts, games and our open hearts. It was good for my heart to see the real world once again - children with real need.

2007 Income Tax - almost!

Today is the last day to do E-Filing. So... like all Malaysians ;-) i just completed it at the 11th hour. Better is better than last year where I submitted at approximately 11.35pm.

This time its 12 hours earlier.
