Moments in My Life

My SIL has just joined Netflix and I am able to watch Heroes online, using the instant play on their website, for free.  My hubby has watched all of the available episods while I was away and he highly recommend me to watch it.  Well, I had nothing much to do at night while waiting to take Brandon to potty around 1230am, so I started watching it last Saturday.  My gosh … this show is so addicting.  Luckily I don’t have to wait week by week for the next episods.  I just click and watch and click and watch.  I was able to watch 2-3 episods most of the nights.  So ‘gun cheung‘.  Now I wish I didn’t start watching this series.

We had a family gathering on June 7th at my aunt’s house in TTDI. It was a grand event for us as it was a very long time ago we had such an event. We didn’t get to have everyone to be in the picture as some of our cousins couldn’t make it on that day. But it is one of the most complete family portraits we have.

Initially, I’ve suggested that each family coordinates a different color top, but that suggestion didn’t get to everyone. It is difficult to get an agreement when you have a big group of people that doesn’t participate in group thread/email.  At the end, only my family (at least we tried) to wear WHITE color top with jeans. May be next time we can have custom t-shirts for each of us and it make the family portrait looks even better.

Here is the picture of our Kee Family: My sister and Ethan, my brother Joo Yee, Me and Brandon.

This picture was taken from PNB Darby Park service apartment on the 35th floor. We reserved a two bedrooms apartment (Unit# 3512) for a one night stay for our Kee family. It was a very nice experience. The view is magnificent. Definitely worth the RM23 upgrade. If I get to wake up to this view every morning … it will be heavenly. Although there are many constructions surrounding this building, the noise hardly bothered us, at least we didn’t notice them much.

Our recent trip to Malaysia is the second time my son met Ah-Cho (great-grandma in Hokkien). She is actually my aunt’s mother and we call her che-mm-poh (grandma in-law in Hokkien). She is a very nice person to talk to as she has many many stories to share with us. And once she starts talking, there is nothing that can stop her. A lot of times I couldn’t sit and listen to all the ending as I either had to chase after or attend to my son. And my son loves her. Every morning when he woke up, he called her while walking down the stairs. And if he saw her in the living room watching the tv later in the afternoon, he would call her, “Ah-Cho! Ah-Cho! … “ 

Ah-Cho is a very healthy woman up till 7 months ago.  That evening, she was visiting a relative staying in a high rise secured building.  When she was leaving the luxury condominium, the automatic sliding door closed on her and she fell down on the floor.  She injured badly in the fall and was confined on the bed for the first few months. 

After many physical therapies and Chinese medcine, she is now able to walk with the help of a walking stick.  She can’t stand for too long as her back will hurt.  How nice if my aunt’s house has a walkin tub in the bathroom. Ah-Cho will be able to enjoy a nice and therapeutic bath by herself. For now she only takes quick shower with the help from the maid. I am sure my son misses her.

Anyway, here are two pictures of my cheeky son and Ah-Cho together.
