These two big donuts are actually memo pad. The design itself look so real. Well, these two were bought by the children’s daddy. He said, it look cute thus he bought two for the kids.
The children kind of love it!

A Tea…
I called Huey Fang yesterday, asked for a tea appointment. She said after her court session at Shah Alam finished, she will call me.
After sending kids, I am home. Around 10:30am, Huey Fang called me. We decided to meet somewhere near Sunway Pyramid. Eventually we met in the Starbuck Coffee in the shopping mall.
We have a chat. I am just asking on some of the process of the legal procedures if just in case any divorce occurred. We chatted for almost 2 1/2 hours. We talked about men, their characters, behaviors, thinking, etc. I cried, cried, and again cried…Huey Fang just accompanied me.
We left Sunway Pyramid around 2:00pm, she got to go back to her office, then have an evening class on pursue her study of Law in University Malaya later at 5:30pm.
She asked me to be stronger to go through this…
I back home. Truly, I really unable to work. Fetch both kids, dinner, playing. Then, he came back around 9:30pm, with a very tired look. Took his bath, change clothes, took a few CDs, and the 434 coffee powder, and told me that he need to go back office and work.
He hugged Issac. Then just walked out from the house.
I noticed that he forgot the coffee powder, I called him and said I’ll pass the bottle to him. He just looked at me, said “ Sleep early and take care of the children. Remember to lock the padlock.”
How long am I, together with the children are going to go through this?

Dear,
Like wise, i am calm when i write this. And, this is how i feel...
When i get to know you that time, 10 years back, you are always dressing up as you mentioned, did i ever stop you from dressing up smart?
did i ever stop you from buying the things you like or desire?
Change...truly, i think you are not the only one change, me too.
After we married and having kids, i had stopped smoking... i had stopped drinking beer, liquor...i had even tried my best to adapt all the changes including my own works, from a project exec to become an office purchaser, i even change a job, not to say a dream job but is consider a 'give and take' choice i had to make, that i had to sacrifice my stable income to a lower income but i would have the time to accompany my children. That it is a brand new experience to me. I had left behind activities with friends, family, etc., just to cope with day time jobs, fetching children on time in the evening, talk to them, play with them, perhaps not enough time to talk, and listen with you more often like we used to be.
I do change a lot, don't you agree?
Both Issac and Annabelle are still young, but Issac is starting to feel it already..
This morning, Issac asked me in the car," Mummy, daddy come back today and sleep?' "Daddy sleeping in the office?" " I love daddy."
Do you know that every night till certain time, Issac is asking about you?
There is a night, just last week, he is asking,
"Mummy, why daddy do not come back and sleep?"
"No, daddy got works to do."
"Mummy, i want Daddy to take care of me."
"Em..why? you don't want mummy take care of you already?" i just smiled at him and said.
"No. I want Mummy and Daddy together take care of me.". Then, he kiss and hugged me.
I do not bring this up to you earlier, is because I do not want you to feel like: family and i are trying to stop you from doing the things you want to do, i.e., your project, part time income to support the family, your company with Ah Heng and Chieng...
Don't you see? He is growing up and starting to feel it. He need a father besides him, grow up together with him.
Earlier on, you did bring up these issues and told me wait for the children to grow up first.
But why now? you want to divorce now? Why now?
Can't you wait until both of them grow up till they finish their collage as you mentioned earlier? Why such a rush and hurry? Is there any legitimate reasons behind this?
Can you tell me a reason why such a rush? Can't you wait for both grow up and then we only talk about it? For Issac and Annabelle sack, can't you wait?

I had been drafted for this email for the past yesterday and today, I had been crying and crying, stop, and again, and again…
Morning, after I had sent both to the school and Teacher Joyce’s house, I can not able to work already. Then, I received a sms from Alison that, today she is meeting Grace and she need the file. I unable to go to the appointment, I just drove to Taman Sea office, joined the SY2 Supervision session for a while, then had a talk with Alison.
Alison advised me to think carefully, should I be continued like this. She did share with me Yvonne's experience, and if possible consult a lawyer on the legal aspect. I cried…I passed on Grace’s file to her.
During the time, Daddy sms me, “Ve you read my email…” Then, I got 2 missed calls from him. I was in the meeting, thus I just sms him back, “Meeting.”
My heart was so pumping so fast that. He is so eagerly to know my answer?
I drove back to the school, as I need to collect the RM100.00 that the government subsidized on the students. I saw him in the class, so quite. I went down to the school book store, unfortunately it is closed.
I came back home to continue my email…
Around 3:30pm, I went back to school again to buy the Issac’s missing Bahasa Malaysia Buku Activiti Jilid 1.
I came back home again, emailed out my consent.
He did not come back tonight…
I can see and feel Issac is very sad, that Daddy did not come back.
“I want to call Daddy…” He asked me.
I called. His Daddy is not picking up the phone. “Daddy not pick up the phone, Daddy sleep already”
I slept beside my boy. I just heard he is saying, “ Daddy said, Daddy will come back.”
My tears was unstoppable when I heard my boy said this… I just turned aside and cried.
Why? Why you have to make your own son like this?
I have to take care of my two little babies with all that I got…

This is the email that he just threw like that?
I feel a bit odd that he mentioned he would like to go back to the Roman Catholic last night… I just shared with him the thoughts and founding's I have with the YouTube about the Buddhism teachings.
I cannot help myself but pouring out my tears after I had sent both Issac and Annabelle to school and Teacher Joyce’s house.
I went back home and cried…I can feel my heart is etching and bleeding…after all this years…I still cannot uphold and protect my family? my 2 little babies?
I drove to Aunt Jasmine’s house and sat quite a long time…
What should I do?
He told me that his previous relationship with the Thai massage girl had gone, just settled. Eventually, I found out later that he is starting to fall in love with a sales executive which I think would be become his project supplier or contractor…almost meeting up everyday..she is 27 years old, 10 years younger than me. She is a Roman Catholic.
The man I had lived for almost 10 years, just would not change his character.
Divorce?
I guess he got no feelings towards me except just for the kids sack.
I really hope I can calm down and think what I really want? Am I going to live on like this for the rest of my life?
I love him..if I do not love him, I guess I would not feel so sad and heartbreaking. But, really, what is love to him?
He came back tonight. I just pretended nothing happened. He looked tired and avoiding me. Very annoying looks when I wanted to talk to him. After 10 years, am I so…?

Royal Malaysian Air Force Museum 18 Mar 2012
When we reached there the time was almost 11.00am. The sun was shine so high and we were so hot. During our visit there, there was a few other families too. The children were so happy seeing an aircraft hanging on top of a monument.
The Museum has many exhibits and is beginning to run out of space. So most of the larger aircraft are parked outside in the open while the smaller and delicate ones occupy its only hangar. Two of the oldest aircraft from the early years before the formation of the RMAF are also being exhibited.
Currently, 18 aircraft are on display in the hangar and the Museum compound. Two of them, the Alouette III helicopter and the DHC-4 Caribou, however, are still in RMAF service.
- Scottish Aviation Twin Pioneer
- Scottish Aviation Single Pioneer
- Percival Hunting Piston Provost
- Scottish Aviation Bulldog
- Bell 47G-5 helicopter
- de Havilland Dove
- CAC Avon-Sabre jet
- Cessna 310F
- de Havilland Chipmunk
- de Havilland Tiger Moth
- Canadair CL41G Tebuan
- North American Harvard
- de Havilland Heron
- HU-16 Albatross
- A-4PTM Skyhawk
- Westland Wasp
There are also items displayed such as photographs, articles, aircraft models, uniforms, mementos, engines, armament and communication equipment which depict the history and development of the Air Force in Malaysia.
There is a Gift Shop at the entrance supposed to sell aircraft models and other souvenir items. Unfortunately, it seems like no longer in business.
Just a small incident happened incurred that time. We nearly caught in one of the exhibition room which the lock of the wooden door had been spoiled. Luckily, we had been saved by another Malay family which are there too.
It took us almost an hour to view all the exhibits as it is not a big museum. And, the sun is so hot and shine on top of us. Worth while to pay a visit for the kids.

Desa Water Park 11 Mar 2012
Desa Water Park is is located and built on 12.6 acres land and surrounded by 50 acres of lake. There is a Indah Water Oxidation Pond nearby and sometimes the smells from the pond made a unpleasant smell. That is why most of the time, whenever thinking of a destination, it is really out of my mind that wants to bring the kids there.
Since it is a school holiday and both Daddy and Mummy have to work, we have no other pre-planned destinations. Just prepared some dry clothing and went off in the morning of Sunday. The entrance fees is quite cheap if compared to Sunway Lagoon, because just the water park only.
Because of its optimum size, the availability of large covered space (Amphitheatre); ample free parking space and competitive pricing, the park is now deemed a popular location for hosting large group Family Days and events. The huge covered space (Amphitheatre) can also be patronize as an ideal location for dinners, corporate themed events & carnivals, family day and etc.
It is so happened that there is a group Family Day at the park when we arrive at there around 10.00am. Not so much of people yet, because just opened.
We just kept our belongings in the lockers. Then, rent the tubes and we just go down to the pools. There are various attractions on the pools itself, such as
This pool actually is for 7 years old and above children; whereby the followings are for 7 years old and below children. But, both Issac and Annabelle love the Surf Shack the most beside the Action River.
Water Factory - This machine enables you to shoot water with your hands to every surrounding spots and All you have to do is press a button
Clown A Round - Enjoy the thrill and excitement of sliding into a clown's body and The Clown Monster is always awaiting, to have fun and will thrill you together
Pink Slide - Multiple slides for children and prepare to get wet at the bottom
At first, it is quite difficult to persuade Annabelle joined us for the Action River, as she was so afraid to sit in the tube on the water. But, finally she was the one requesting over and over again.
We enjoyed very much on those. At the mean time, there are a few that we did not play, such as
Tarzan In Town – a water based activity where you can jump from one tube to another and hang on to the ropes to avoid yourself from being wet or challenge yourself to just balance on the tubes
Ripple Bay - Connected to shockwave, an open space for tele-match activities and lap swimmers.
Bubble Pool - Enjoy a pool which is like a Jacuzzi with bubbles which helps you and your family to distress
Super Tube - A concept of tropical slides launches and it is a 30-ft. high twisting and turning twin water slide.
Other than that, there are souvenirs shop, kiosks and stalls selling food and drinks, surau, lockers facilities, and first aid room too.
We took our shower around 12:30pm, since there are so many people coming to the water park. The children were so happy. Mummy did not manage to take more photos as both of us were at the pools all the time and the camera was kept in the locker.
Well, next time then…

Paya Indah Wetlands 4 March 2012
The excavations left by the mining works have been converted into lakes which are now home to fish, lotus plants and water lilies and some more exotic species, namely crocodiles and hippos.
Actually it is the crocs and hippos which drew my attentions when Lee Siang uploaded the photos, because it is quite rare that in Kuala Lumpur or Selangor areas, we can see the crocs feeding or hippos feeding, unless you are in Zoo Negara. This sparked my mind and suggested to the kids Dad that, we pay a visit there.
We reached our destination around 8:00am. Once we entered the Paya Indah Wetlands, the wetlands view catching our eyes as we are so close to the nature. We registered at the Information Centre, the Receptionist did give us a list of activities that we can do here:
We had our breakfast at Thypa Platform at the Typha Lake, where we can watch the birds and the lake is so serene. It was a good day, as the morning was still foggy. The children and their Daddy were enjoying the breakfast there. We can see the birds flying across the lake and hear them too.
The park is open for bird watching from 7:30am to 7:00pm. There is no charge (admission to Paya Indah is free) but of coarse you have to bring your own binoculars. We didn’t have one.
Jungle Trekking
The Typha Trail is available for trekking. Much of the woodland in the recreational zone has been recently planted so do not expect the same sort of lush jungle that you encounter in other parks in Malaysia.
The bicycles are available and can be rented for RM5 for 2 hours. Tricycles are provided for children under 6 years old at RM3 for 2 hours. This is a spread out (and flat) park so a bicycle is a good way of covering the distances.
We choose to walkabout as both Daddy and Mummy had long time no doing cycling already. Both Issac and Annabelle too, were walking tired and after 9.00am, it is really a sunny and hot day.
This is the most happening and made the children happy. Two hippos, originally from Botswana, live in the Hippo Pond enclosure. Feeding time is from 10:00am - 10:30am. The Hippos are so hungry, just ‘park and rest’ his big mouth at the stainless steel fence waiting for its meals. Their diets are fruits like papaya, bananas and selected grass.
They spend much of the rest of the day semi-submerged in the lake to prevent their surprisingly sensitive skin from getting sunburnt.
We were so enjoying the time since the last time we had at Taiping Zoo. But, Taiping Zoo hippos are still the best, though.
After seeing the hippos eat their breakfast we had made our way to the nearby crocodile lake in time for the crocs' feeding session 11am - 11:30am. It is on Saturdays, Sundays and Public Holidays only.
The massive fierce-looking crocodiles were apparently transported to Paya Indah from Langkawi.
According to the Tour Guide, there are 37 crocodiles in the lake, and all are Buaya Tembaga species. The feeding only on the weekends due to the lake itself have enough fish to feed them.
It was almost noon by the time we decided to make a move back, as it was so hot and both Issac and Annabelle were very tired already.
There are still some activities which we did not manage to check out, such as:
Fishing is possible on Typha Lake from 8am - 6:30pm everyday except Fridays. The cost is RM10 per rod. No live bait is allowed.
Kayaking
Kayak rental costs RM7 per hour. An instructor can be hired for groups of between 10 to 20 people at RM180 for 3 hours (prior reservation is needed).
The hours for kayaking are 9am - 12pm, 3pm - 6pm.
They have also built a lookout tower providing a 360 degree view of the whole area. We did not manage to go up and visit the Animal Farm as well.
Chalet
We did come across the Chalets which sleep two people (double bed) and are air conditioned, and very nice they look too. It is at the very reasonable price of RM120 per night. May be someday we’ll check it out then. Probably stay a night and wake up early in the morning for the bird watching.
A great outing after all..^^
