Posting of Birthday Greetings

Well here I'd like to take this opportunity to wish someone a Happy Belated Birthday, which happened to be on the 22nd April. I think his birthday is the only birthday I know by hard amongst all my cousins. Probably because we always have to fight to see who is the elder cousin since we were born in the same year. Please direct him to my blog. And if he wanted this picture I have scanned from my collection, please contact me.

This picture is taken somewhat close to 30 years ago, and by who???? (I dunno who la) and the location was in front of the orang utan cage in Botanical Garden (Kebun Bunga) in Penang. At that time it was occupied by a female orang utan.(If I am not mistaken and I also wanted to ask the photographer why the orang utan is not in the picture leh?) Then the whole botanical was filled with monkeys and you will not be fined for feeding them (I'm not sure how is it now, haven't been there for more than 10 years already lo) ** Also an advise to those whom plan to go there: Don't tease the monkeys excessively, though they might look tame but they may turn aggressive, especially snatching from small children, some even dare to chase after adults **

There was quite a few pictures that was taken but I only scanned this one because this is one of the very few pictures I have taken with him. My mum and sis is still keeping their share of pictures so I will have to wait for them to bring it to me to scan it.

Happy Birthday to you!

At least now both your sons are way older than my Keith :P
Also my apologies to all my other cousins for not keeping track of all your birthdays. I can start it now if you can e-mail it to me :)

And not forgeting to wish more "Happy Birthday"
to my sis on the 19th April
to Khai Kong on the 4th April (along with Lay Chin, Alvin and Fabian, used to be the 4 on 4th of April)
to Wai Kueen on the 26nd April

Another Photographer

I'd like to present to you all the next photographer in my place and she is my mum. Yup, grandma it is.....

Before Chinese New Year, Nicole had grandma's SE T610 badly scratched so Elaine gave grandma her NK7260 to use. I have tried to send grandma's favourite song over to the Nokia but it was not able to play **Funny Nokia always got this compatibility problem :P** As I couldn't find time to do it at home I told grandma to use the T610 first while I take the 7260 to work and to do the transfer and backup whenever I can find the time **Yup, same goes for my blogging..... I have my laptop next to me at work, stealing a minute here and there to surf and blog**

Somehow along the way my sis borrow grandma's T610 and charger. Yesterday Priscilla (my cousin, known as Foong Leng to most) brought the charger back to grandma (my sis had packed it back to Penang on her the last trip here) We have it charged overnight and this morning we exchanged phones so that I can take the 7260 with me, while grandma will have to use the T610 for the day.

This is what I have found in her phone :)

Naked Keith (Bath time)

Nowadays he loves his baths. Nothing calms him more than his daily twice baths :) Sometimes he even seems to be whining for it too

We manage to snap two pictures of him to show you. Thanks to Elaine's superb photography technique...... we can post it here :)

Edited: Funny why AllYouCanUpload.com whom hosted my first picture deleted the photo below, now hosted by ImageShack

You can see how neatly grandma's hand blocks his cuckoo (no censoring required here.... hahahhaaa!!!!!) I wonder how she did it. She only too 2 shots and both were as shown....... Perfect!!!

My Required Disclosure

Sleeping while feeding

Whenever Keith is about to fall asleep he tends to whine for his milk. Normally he will take about 1/2 to 1 oz and he will fall sound asleep after that. I thought I knew him well enough :P But no he have more tricks under his sleeves. Sometimes when I feed his early morning milk, he would stop feeding and just suck once a while on the bottle or even push it out of his mouth...... there reason for this is he needed his diaper change or he just wanted to sleep. Sometimes he does that because the feeder is not talking to him. He would even whine if the feeder is talking to another person while he is feeding, rather selfish of him. One more thing, according to grandma, he dislikes the maid..... he would cry/whine if she comes near him, even if she looks at him!!! So small already starting to pick on people!


Does anyone notice that you can no longer add your own url into the Slides? Or is it just me?!!!! Does this mean that I have to double the upload to two places?

**I just did my first PPP :) **

Back to my boy, Keith

Well I think I have done enough advertisement for my restaurant :P (at least I have left something for the record too)

This is the pictures of Keith in his new carrier car seat, which we bought because it is an add-on to the stroller. He seems rather ok with it and for us it is definitely a winner because we can avoid moving him to/from the stroller (since we can just plug it into the stroller), no need to have someone to carry him in the car (less stress for mummy), when the carrier is fixed onto the stroller he will be facing us so we can see him more clearly and he can sleep better too during trips (the shade is a plus because Keith dislikes bright lights)



Well, I know that this is not a posh cradle but I don't think that I should spend on those branded ones. Most importantly is this didn't burn a hole in my wallet :)

Sweet Deli Station 想食啲 (part II)

Firstly I would like to thank you all for the compliments :)

I will start off by refering to one of the comments on the earlier post

Thanks to the comment by vien regarding parking problem here. I will share with you all on where to park your cars if you could not find a spot :)
The first option would be parking into the Central Hypermarket basement and they charge RM0.50/hour (the same rate as parking on the roadside and they close at 10pm) and you are entitle for a 2 hour free parking if you purchase anything above RM20 from Central Hypermarket (sometimes they offer stuffs cheaper than others) But for this option you might have to walk a bit and also smelly too (for some) because of the concept of the building....... They have stalls selling vegetables, fruits, meat and even fish! To some it might look a bit rundown too :(
Second option is parking a flat fee of RM2 open parking also owned by Lucky Plaza (Central) to enter this parking will be the one just before the building itself (But be sure to check the trees for birds, if you are directed to park under one - I don't think you wanna go back to a car full of bird poo)
Other than that it will be the Parkson (Giant and Citrus Park is also located there)
Parking here is definitely a big problem, if you are able to get one then you are very lucky. Normally the road got jammed up because of double parking and cars slowing down to look for a parking space. Even if you did manage to find a place, sometimes you get cars double parking next to you and will have you honking your horn for an hour when you wanna leave :P

Now back to the next introduction of the rice, noodle and drinks variety.
(The following are 16 thumbnail pictures of each category)

Noodle Choice:


Drinks Choices:


Please don't hesitate to contact me for further details.....

So sorry duckie my Penang relatives also asked me of the same thing :( As for opening a branch, it is not an easy task. Furthermore, we are short-staffed because all the food and beverages are prepared by the sifus themselves.

Sweet Deli Station 想食啲

Firstly I'd like to thank Jazzmint for featuring my Mango Fettucini in her blog :P felt so "pai seh" la

Well, I guess I might as well introduced my small restaurant to you all, since most of my relatives and friends are yet to visit me, I might as well take this opportunity introduce it here.


Me and my partners open up the restaurant 2 years back (Not really my restaurant la) and it is restaurant with 40+ seat (very small indeed) It is called Sweet Deli Station 想食啲 (Pronounced as "Siong Sek Dit)

This is the image of the name card:


Directions to the restaurant:


I think we have too many stuffs on our menu that I find it rather hard to introduce it because most of the stuffs we really like so we made it lo. I will just feature the stuffs on thumbnails. Also very hard to explain one by one too :P too lazy la but gimme some time....... I will try :)

First of all would be the 糖水(tong sui)

I would recommend the Sesame and Peanut because these are not those instant type, the dessert chef actually roast and grind the actual thing.
**Sorry to those Bubur Chacha fans, we no longer carry this item (I liked Bubur Chacha too!) but I am not the one in charge of the kitchen (My area would be the drinks, non-alcoholic, of course!)

Now some of the desserts, double-boiled tong sui and appetizers


More on part 2

Pst! Those looking for the chow tau fu. it is from a stall featured here and here, not from my restaurant :P

Those whom are left at home when I am working

Elaine and I felt rather guilty leaving home everyday because Nicole would definitely make a scene, she wanted to follow us to work. She kept repeating, "Kiu Kiu go work, (refering to me as uncle) Ah Kam go work, (refering to Elaine as Aunty) Nicole go work" Grandma and I will ask her, "Nicole want to wash dishes, is it?" And she will nod her head(what she wanna do there? Wash the dishes also cannot la)

I felt sorry for my mum, her health condition seems to have worsen recently (She is getting tired quiter easily and she complains of severe headaches and leg pain. Because of our financial condition she have to go to Penang General Hospital for her medication and check ups **Here I'd like to thank Melinda and Johnny (my cousin and her husband) for helping us out to take my mum's monthly medication**

It has been very hard for her to cope with a life all on her own when she used to have my stepdad to depend on all the time (My stepdad is the one whom have raised me and have passed away 2 years ago, just before Nicole was born) With my mum doing Elaine's confinement, I got to realised that my mum's personality have changed a lot and also have gotten rather old recently. I do wish that I could have the money to take her somewhere for a holiday. But my condition "tau hei dou em tak han" (take a breathe also no time) And also her 60th birthday is coming up soon. By the way, believe it or not, my mum and Elaine's birthday is on the same day!!!!

This is the picture of grandma with her two grandchildren.

Nicole's Many Faces

Well, it seems like my 'sit' command is working rather well on Nicole but she is still very hard to control, she would turn nuisance as soon as I turn around.

Normally she doesn't like to have her hair tied up but yesterday she allowed grandma to tied it so grandma told me to snap some pics for her.


Recently Nicole would wake up late at night crying but will stop as soon as I cuddle her. She is becoming more and more manja and wanted to be coaxed.
