Unforgetable New Year Eve

Last night was New Year Eve. I was very excited because finally year 2009 has come to an end and another new year is coming. I really hope that year 2010 will be good for me. Hopefully anything that i couldn't done in 2009 can be accomplish in this year. But this New Year Eve was a day that I think I would remember most in my life. Last night, we were planning to see my hubby's friend to play the fireworks at midnight. I have already told my son early yesterday that he has to take a nap in the afternoon so that that night he can stay late to see the fireworks. But after work, he followed his auntie together with cousin to their house and play until around 8.00 p.m. something. When my son was back, he was so tired and exhausted so I have no choice but to ask him to sleep early tonight. So I put him to sleep around 10.00 p.m. After he has slept, me and my hubby went out to have our supper because it has been a long time since both of us have eaten chicken chop. So around 11.00 p.m. we were still enjoying our chicken chop and we received a phone call from my hubby's sister. She said his son was admitted to the hospital because his arm has broken. Suddenly, we have no appetite to eat more and rushed to the hospital to see what was the condition. When we reached the hospital, our nephew was crying because of pain and the doctor said he has broken two of his bone at his left arm. He has to be admitted immediately to the hospital to do the small operation on his arm. It's not those kind of surgery that needed to cut his arm. Only to pull back his bone to its original position and have to bandage it and wear a sling for quite a long time. Then we spent our New Year Eve at the hospital, waiting for everything is ok then we left. The reason that he has broken his arm is because he climbed the table at his house and maybe when he wanted to come down, he has lose control and didn't step on anything and just fell from the table. Can you imagine a 4 to 5 year kid have to suffer this kind of pain? We are very pity of him. Luckily my hubby is around there, because they need somebody to carry the kid up and down the staircase. This is really the most unforgetable New Year Eve I have ever experienced.

Merry Christmas 2009!

This year before Christmas, Kelven has took a few photos with the Christmas tree in the mall around miri. (First photo: Boulevard Shopping Mall, Second & Third photos: Imperial Hotel)

Eventhough we are not Christian but we seems to follow a bit of their culture. A week before Christmas, we have bought a Christmas tree (medium size) and the ornaments to be decorated on the Christmas tree. Luckily we didn't spend so much on the tree because now within RM50 you can buy a tree and the decoration too at the Super Save Store (the shop that sold things very cheap mostly made in China). So on the same day, we decorated the tree, me, my hubby and my son spend the whole night hanging the ornaments on the tree and to our surprise, the tree looks really nice eventhough it was loaded with too much ornaments.

WITH LIGHTS

Last night was Christmas Eve, we didn't really celebrate it but the kids at home are having fun in exchanging presents at home. Seeing the kids so happy makes you happy too. Sometimes I wonder, wasn't it good if I could become a kid again?

Wedding Dinner

On 11th day of December, 2009, I have attended my office lawyer's wedding dinner at the Imperial Hotel Grand Ballroom. The food was nice and the wedding was not boring too. I guess they have spent quite a lot on hiring the people for performance such as singing, belly dancing, magic show and so on. I didn't stay till the end of the dinner wedding dinner but I still can say that the food was nice.

Kelven's Colouring Competition

20th November, 2009

This day was Kelven's Colouring Competition at the Miri Civic Centre. Kelven was selected from his class to participate in the Colouring Competition sponsored by VICO and held by the Miri City Council at the Miri Civic Centre (Miri Public Library). Too bad, in the end, he didn't won any prizes for the competition. I think the picture that they gave them to colour is quite hard for his age. Furthermore, lots of other school are also participating, so chances of winning also very low. Well, as long as he has experience how a colouring competition is, it should be enough.

November-a busy month

My Part time Job

I have been teaching part-time for almost 2 months but finally i have decided to quit the part time job. A lot has happen actually. When I got my salary last month for my part-time teaching, I was so shocked to find out that it was so much less than what i expected. I am supposed getting RM400 per month but they only gave me RM320 only last month. After spending time calculating again and again, then I knew they only gave me RM20 per session not RM25 per session as promised. I have called the company and asked about it, they said they will check it out for me. But then after waiting for a reply for quite a long time, I called again and said if they didn't give me a good explaination then i will stop teaching immediately. Well, finally they said there are some misunderstood between the accountant and the headquarter, so they will pay me back the shortfall together with my next month salary. But after long consideration, I think it's not really worth it to work with a company which is not trustable and reliable, so I had taught until 20th this month, exactly the day of the closing of the company account. So that they won't owe me extra salary again. Hopefully I can get my teaching salary next month. Who knows they are going to do the same thing again later.

Kelven's Prize Giving Ceremony 14th November, 2009

This day was Kelven's School Prize Giving Ceremony started at 8.30 a.m. till 11.00 a.m. This morning, we woke up very early just to get prepared for this big day. Kelven has got 3 prizes this year for chinese, english and drawing competition. One 3rd prize and the rest are consolation prize. We are so proud of him.

Kelven's 4th Birthday 14th November, 2009 Today is also Kelven's 4th Birthday. We have made a small celebration at home by ordering some dishes from the restaurant to eat at home, a birthday cake and his cousins to play with him along of course, the same as last year. He was very happy coz he got lots of presents today.

Part-time job

Yesterday I have started my part-time teaching job at my ex-company. But this is my first experience in teaching mandarin. To my surprise, only three students appeared for the lesson. It has been one year plus since the last time i taught. So i felt a bit nervous and don't know what to say or do at certain time. Furthermore, I am not an expert in Mandarin so it's a bit challenging to me. But i feel comfortable teaching and I didn't even realise that the time has come to an end. One and a half hour teaching for RM25, worth it right? So hopefully my body would have the strength to work overtime for four days a week.

A little bit comment of my ex-company, i found that the place is an abandon city or some sort of ghost city. The students are not much left. It is like waiting to close down already. I will just wait and see how's the condition and if it gone worst, i will just say bye bye to all of them.

My 26th Birthday

This year, I am having a very simple birthday. Since it's a working day, I still have to work. But the office did buy me a cake. Just like the year before. Well, going back home, we were thinking of eating out but then the plan has been cancelled because I am not feeling well. But it's still ok because my hubby surprise me with a cake too. I think it's because I did mention to him that I want to eat cake this year. I am very happy and to my surprise again, my best friend had asked her brother in Miri to buy me a cake too. Can you imagine, I am having three cakes for my birthday this year! It's really my luck because I like to eat cakes. My son is also very excited because he can blow the candles for me too. Hehe....Anyway, thanks for those who sent their wishes to me through message, or phone call and the cakes too.

Third Prize

Last month, my son has joined the rhyme recitation competition at his school. To our surprise he has got number three in the competition. We didn't have much confidence on him but he really make it. We couldn't believe that he would be daring to perform on the stage and in front of the teachers and audience. We are so proud of him.
