Mon 260710

Yup, it's been a busy, busy, busy past few days...end of the previous week and weekend, too!

And yup, both inmates were caught up in the "rollercoaster ride" of Life!

On last Thursday ie 22nd July, our good friend & former colleague made his first trip back to his home since he left for KL for treatment. Yup, it was Mr L. He had just finished his radiotherapy sessions and missed his home so much that his family decided to make a special trip home. And yup, it was just great to be able to meet up & just chat with him & family! A simple visit ended being a 2-hour + "marathon" chat session!!

However, Mr L & fmly are on the way back to KL at this time, if me not mistaken...sincerely wish Mr L & fmly a safe & pleasant trip...and may God bless you & family!

Late on Friday (230710) night, an unexpected call brought not-so-nice news...our grandson was diagnosed as having appendicitis!! Admitted to Island Hospital in Penang. As it was late & being reassured of his being in safe hands, we decided to leave for Penang the very next morning after breakfast.

When we were about to leave Lot 10, another call told us that the young boy had been prepared already for immediate surgery. And by the time we arrived at the hospital, he was already out from recovery and placed in the Children's ward. The operation to remove his infected appendix was successful and, fortunately, in time, too!

To cut a long story short, we left our grandson in a happy mood late on Sunday evening ie last night. He enjoyed a reasonably long session playing "Doodle Jump" on my iPhone. Although each smile/laugh brought him some pain, it was what we nicknamed "Happy Pain"!! Keep smiling, J...

Thanks, too, to our fav niece for allowing these 2 ole folks to inconvenience her & fmly in her beautiful home...again! All in all, it was a weekend that ended well. So kinda like the saying..."All's well that ends well..."

Well, as my other half was kinda deprived of her weekly COD due to our Penang trip, it was "declared" that today (although a Monday) would replace the missed COD last Saturday...

And so it was...a trip to our fav place...Tesco Mergong! Lunch was at its Food Court.

As is, it's "siesta" time now in Lot 10...

A quiet start...

Tue 200710

Yup, it's a quiet start to a new week...

And yup, Peace & Happiness, not forgetting reasonably Good Health...all that one could ever wish for...at this time in our lives!

One good thing that has happened in the vicinity of Lot 10 was the sudden realization that a new street lamp was installed practically almost right in front of Lot 10! Something we sort of had been wishing for all the while since moving into Lot 10. And presto! There it was shining brightly one night when we looked out of our bedroom window!! Its installation had gone unnoticed...showed how "unexciting & mundane" our lives had been & thus our ignorance of changes to our surrounding...

Pics to share...


Left: the new lamp on the previously installed bare lamp-post. ...and a close-up of the new lamp! And of course, the lamp shining brightly at night!!

Like ppl say...Better late than never, agreed?

In the meantime, me have still been fiddling & enjoying my not-so-new "baby". Yup, my iPhone 3GS! Latest Apps addition is Meritum Paint, a free apps. This Apps allows one to create such beautiful abstract finger-printing pieces of "Art", which can then be used as the wallpaper for the phone.

Here is a sample of my creativity...

See? Not bad, huh? For a first time "finger-painter"!! Haha!

Finally, both inmates are gonna have a so far "rare" item for our lunch! And for many more days to come. Yup, it's our fav "Stupid Bread"! Haha!

Thanks to our fav doc...Thanks a meg, Doc, for remembering lil ole us...


Well, our "Kay Pa" is due to literally "enrich" us tomorrow but we just could not wait! And so we had to go "rob" our nearest Petronas ATM so as to fill up our pockets to continue with our lives. Like one popular quote..."No petrol how to move..." Haha again!

Well, a million thanks to our "Kay Pa" who is now so indispensable...and so much a part of our lives now! And yup, where would we be now if not for his kind, generous & never-failing on-the-dot support...month after month, year after year!

A surprising discovery?

Wed 140710

Yup, surprising ( maybe even frightening? ) discovery? In our backyard garden.

And yup, my other half, in her not-so-regular maintenance of her potted plants in her very own "garden" in our backyard, unearthed 6 whitish eggs in one of her pots!! Each egg was about 2 cm long...

Feeling somehow that those eggs not look like normal kinda eggs, she called lil ole me to confirm. And true enough, those were NOT eggs of the normal kind! Too big for normal lizard eggs. Could they be snake eggs? Cause shells were of the soft type...reptiliean?

Only one way to find out, right? Yup, me cracked one of them OPEN!

And this was what met our eyes...

Does that look like a baby lizard? Yup, at a glance.

Now...look a bit closer. Magnify the image. Now, is that a lizard or....?

Yup, it's a baby iguana? Monitor lizard?

And, believe it or not, the young mother paid a visit the day after...phew!

Wish I had snapped a pic of the young mother...sorry but me was so surprised then that me could only watch till she plopped into our back drain and swam away...

No worries...me had already crushed all six eggs and thrown them into our rubbish bin. They have all now gone to the great "hunting grounds" of all monitor lizards....haha!

Before I take my leave in this entry, I would like to ask you all a simple question. Are KFC products eg their Hot & Spicy Chicken dishes, of the same quality sold in all outlets?

Well, my answer is a definite NO!! How did I know for sure? We went to take the Chicken Rice Combo & Snack Plate set at one outlet last Sunday and then because we were surprised at the items we had got, we then went to have the same items at another outlet today!

And guess what? We got products of such noticeable size, quality & contents!! Try it out & prove so yourselves, ok?

Have a great day!

Me still around...

Fri 090710

Yup, me still around...haha!

And yup, still alive & kicking! But not so hard liao...age kinda catching up...

However, it's been a week of events but not of the exciting kind though...

The first week of July saw a few relatives celebrating their birthdays. Me did call them to wish them then but for the record...

Happy Birthday (030710) to my bro-in-law, KY!!

And also Happy Birthday (050710) to our fav niece, KI!!

Then on Wed 070710, it was time to fulfill my other half's 2nd wish ie a trip to Penang to visit a few families. And so we did. It was a happy day out. We even had time for a short look-around in Gurney Plaza! Moreover, we were treated to sumptuous meal (lunch) by our fav niece! TQ, KI!!

That day also marked our first visit to our son's flat since that dark day in 2008. Sincere thanks to him & family for the special effort made, the time spent & hospitality!

Well, what can I say? All's well that ends well!

And tomorrow is another COD...if you know what that means...

Have a great weekend, everyone!
