Through her connections, mum signed us ( including the Monsters and a couple of their friends ) for the Merdeka Fun Run for Sayangi Sawitku that was slotted a week before Merdeka. The run was jointly organized by Taman Desa Resident's Association (TDRA) and Majlis Perwakilan Penduduk Zon Wilayah Persekutuan (MPPWP). The meeting point was at the Taman Desa community hall where we did some warm up yoga. YB Teresa Kok flagged us off at 7:30 AM. The kids ran at first, waving their mini flags enthusiastically, then lost their steam. Little Monster lagged behind a bit and looked so red in the face. We reached the finish line at Sekolah Menengah Kebangsaan Taman Desa (SMKTD) at about an hour later. Collected the goodie bag, then headed to the hall for breakfast. The kids had instant chee cheong fun , and we also tried some African food provided by the Ghana High Commission of Malaysia. All of the activities were lined up by the Malaysia Palm Oil Council (MPOC) to promote and educa...

Out of the blue, The Tribe appeared at the vicinity of my church during lunch time. Since the timing was fortuitous, we had lunch together at Strangers at Forty Seven . Business was brisk as usual. While I was poring through the menu, a member of the service crew dropped off a glass of orange juice on the table. I thought that The Tribe ordered it. Then Sis realized that they hadn't even ordered anything. Told the waitress about it and she took the drink away. In a flash, she returned with the juice and declared that its on the house. We were cool with that. Remembering that the portion of dessert crepes were small, I kiasu ordered four savoury crepes~ Nasi Lemak , Buttermilk Chicken, Eggcited Over Cheese, and Uncle Salmon. Three came with the exception of the salmon. After checking with the waitress, she confirmed that they bungled up the order, which was fine by us. Already too full. Suddenly, we got a free slice of cake as compensation. The people there can get my order w...

Following The Tribe's Christmas tradition, they would open their presents at my house on Christmas morning. The amount of presents that they brought over did not lessen compared to last year. Could stack it all up to make a nice little fort in the living room. The discarded wrapping paper could easily fill a large laundry basket. The kids got loads of toys, mostly Nerf guns. When opening gifts from mum and I, Big Monster exclaimed, "It's clothes right? You always get us clothes.". LOL. The Monsters got me a reindeer plush toy with an inflated head that is filled with activated carbon. Cuter than it sounds. LOL. BIL gave me a power bank. Quickly cleaned up the mess and headed to church for Christmas morning mass. Baby Jesus made his annual appearance at the nativity scene. Went to Paradigm Mall after church. Discovered that Purple Cane Tea Restaurant had been replaced by Chef Hong Kitchen . Might as well give it a try. Mum and I shared their True-Blue Favourite...
