it’s been awhile since my last post.

things have happened. none earth-shattering as the earthquake but it’s my life aye?

to the beach ahoy~
blogmages/kya_swimmingsuit.JPG finally got me family off to a short break – the last break i had did not count as a break (the eid-adha fracas). headed for kijal last sat – with amir and kya in tow – as i had a briefing (or two) to attend on monday. had planned to spend time on the beach but upon checking in and looking out into the seascape – decided against it – waves were extremely strong. the beach was pounded upon for hours. tengkujuh was actually over but the bellboy said it’s been strong waves for a few days.

so we ended up in the hotel pool. got kya a cute swimming outfit (from the hotel gift shop nonetheless – didn’t hv the foresight to get it at sale price in either isetan/parkson). she was mighty proud of the suit. took tonnes of pictures of her in the pool to show off to her grandparents back in kl.

who’s that girl?
back from the trip .. took a day off to recuperate from the long drive (not that i was the driver – amir drove all the way to kerteh and back). noticed some red marks on kya’s arms and legs over the weekend, headed for the GP’s and was assured by her that kya was not contracting chicken pox (adam – kya’s cousin – was down with chicken pox the whole week and has been admitted to kajang hospital for observation)

surprisingly during this visit, kya kissed and hugged our GP first BEFORE getting her routine 1/2 tablet vit c. in our past visits, kya would only kiss/hug the GP after getting her dues so needless to say, our GP was quite pleased.

blogmages/barber_visit.jpgkya’s been having lice isses and i am slowly losing the battle with the eggs so decided to do away with kya’s hair. in preparation of the dreaded trip to the barber’s (i do hate hair salons since they charge you to your teeth for an inch of trimming), stocked up on choclairs and a chuppa-chups to distract kya while her hair was being shaved off.

i shouldn’t have worried. she was as calm as can be. the barber had to place a piece of plank on the seat so that kya was within his reach and she observed the proceedings through the mirror. i was beside her, just like a mother hen, placing the chuppa-chups ever so often in her mouth in order to maintain her silence.

after the ordeal was done, kya stared at her reflection in the mirror and broke into a huge grin. you wouldn’t have thought this was the same baby who screamed blue murder when had her head shaved in dec 2003

to park or not to park
on fridays – not unlike today – i would sometimes end up parking downstairs instead of in the parking area near klcc mosque. and for the rest of the afternoon, i will be counting the minutes until 5pm. for those unfamiliar with klcc, the parking rate is myr2.50 for the 1st hr and myr1 for each subsequent 1/2 hr on weekdays. so that would amount to roughly myr 6.50 for 3 hrs parking! .. aiyaya.. that translates into 2 days’ worth of parking in my default parking spot.

so i have been contemplating on getting the season pass for klcc parking since october last year. being the procrastinator that i am when it comes to these things, i kept contemplating until today. finally got myself over to klcc parking mgmt office and placed my name in the waiting list. yes – a waiting list. apparently the demand for season parking has increased. wished i had placed my name back in october. i would’ve then been closer to getting the pass today. oh well.. that’s water under the bridge.

on the side:
was just locking up me car on P3 when saw this bmw about to park in the disabled parking bay. my kaypohchee self made a point to see who was driving and discovered that the car did not contain a disabled (as i expected) but was bearing instead a stylish lady with her two brats.

maybe i’m just a bit jealous of her driving the car but HELLOOOOOO?! it’s people like this who are indiscriminate in parking their cars that piss me off. don’t get me started on those who persist in occupying 1 1/2 of parking bays and causing me to have to park further away from the exits.

ok..i’ve ranted.

cheers
