Quality Time

It's a Sunday and today, it was somehow very special to me because I don't usually get to spend so long hours with my niece; Kristen because she always leave Klang after lunch. And because of this, Kristen is not warm-up enough to actually get acquaintance to me every weekends.

But this weekend, I had an awesome quality time with her because we visited her house after church to see the new born baby Elisa and I brought along my swimming-gadgets so that I could spend some time in the pool as well while others are fussing over the baby.

I walked to the pool around 3pm and there were 2 parties going on by the pool-side so there were lots of kids around. With so much ripple in the pool, I'm kinda a little fear of it... so, I kept myself safely by the edges. Around 4plus, Kristen joined me with her grandma's close-inspection by the pool side. We had a really good time especially Kristen who loves to splash the water to my face. When it was time to get out of the pool, Kristen took ages to do so... She was trying so many times on the "diving-distance", trying to get the furthest and every time she mentioned, "the last time...", some how the "last time" did not happened to be the last. Hahaha...

When she finally got out of the pool, her grandma towel-dried her but she refused to change into her dry clothes with the excuse that, "Aunty Faith also did not change..." Uh-oh... I'm to be blame?! She even refused to wrap in the towel on the way up. I decided to join her in the bathroom where her grandma was planning to bath for her but I told her I'll do it for Kristen instead since I'm already wet. I'm sure showering a kid will somehow get the adult wet as well. Her grandma hesitated a few times but I insisted on it... Besides, I'm thinking... in status, I'm already an aunty so what is so concern about shower my own niece, right? Not like I could drown her?

Anyway, Kristen played with a bar of soap and even rubbed the soap on my body a few times remarking, "You wash my hair, I soap you too..." and she even asked me to remove my swimming-suit when I removed hers. Gosh.. hehehe... no way will she get the chance to see my naked body!! But, we were like chuckling and laughing in the bathroom that my mom came into the shower and nagged, "Quick... don't play around... it's time we go home too... it's late..."

Yeeaaahhh... I'm tired for the day with a big smile on my face...

"I'm d Big Sister"

The expression: "I'm the Big Sister"

Just look at this picture of Kristen the proud big sister who cuddled baby Elisa despite that their own dad is pretty scared to hold the small size fragile baby...

Here Comes the Baby Girl

Since on Thursday night when we received a call from my sister saying she is in the medical center, I was pretty excited... This morning before I leave for work, my mom said "no news yet" and I goes, "Oohh... so long in labour?" Without further me bragging about my "feeling of excitement"... Let me introduce you to the new "member" of the family. Ta-da!!

~ Sleepy? Zzz...Nah, just camera-shy ~
~ YES! Closed-Up ~ Adorable? ~

^^Bon Voyage^^

Today, after church service my family and I had lunch at Raku Japanese Restaurant. "Eat-All-We-Can Buffet". We were an hour early thinking that the restaurant opens at 11am. So, we just sat at the Concorde lobby while chatting away about my brother's luggage and how to pack them. For someone who always love the air-condition, I have no idea why he is so afraid that he will not bring sufficient clothes for the winter in Australia. So, this lunch is specially for my brother...

Since I was starving madly, I totally forgotten to take the pictures of the food before I eat. My family were the first customers so, all the food were untouched and neatly-arranged. But, I just simply forgotten...

Felt pretty odd also when I was walking around taking pictures of the food, not sure if I'm allow to do it and since some other people who are dining in were actually eye-ing me suspiciously, so I did not take all of 'em.

Anyhow, this place is not going to be the top 5 Japanese-buffet that I will recommend. So, nothing much to fancy about it... but I did like the cold-soba & smoked salmon.

Before I leave the last bread-crumbs on this page...
Here a short note for my brother...
