Final Full Stop!

Finally, today is the day that he packed up his clothing and walked off from home. In the morning he attended the morning service to the Setapak Lutheran Church which is a Catholic Church.

He was so angry and asked me, “Why did you go and tell our home stories to the nearby salon hair stylish? even the smallest details things also she know about it?”

I did not expect he went to the salon for a hair cut, and then the hair stylist had told him everything. The woman is not trustable! And I would never to go that salon any more.

He told me that he do not want to give me false hope, it is because both of us cannot be together again anymore. He told me off that, it shown to the other people that I am that type of person when I am the one go and tell to other persons about our own family matters.

I was so pissed off, and told him straight to the face that, “ You want me to treat you how? When you were with Joe, do you ever think that I am your wife? When you would only think of me? When you need me that time? For money? For my credit card? Or what? For using my name to loan something? I know it everything? Ever since your name have been cleared out from the bankcruptcy, you just want to kick me aside? How you want to treat me now? Or how I supposed to treat you after all the things you have done to me?”

He said, “Did I ever make your name blacklisted? Whoever tell these things to you?”

Eventually because of both Issac and Annabelle were here, we stopped our arguements there. He just packed his stuffs and left the home. Before he left, he told me that, he would wants to bring both children going back to Kuching for Chinese New Year. I just told him that, I will bring kids back to Kuching and because Mama also old age already.

Finally, today just officially put a full stop to our trial periods of 2 months!

Shah Alam Wet World Water Park 27 Jan 2013

IMG_7503 This is the 2nd time I came together with the children, 1st time for Daddy to come with us. This time around I guess is more fun than previously we came only 3 of us. Daddy can accompany Issac to play more on the rides, whereby last time I cannot play with Issac more, as I was afraid of Annabelle would be alone at the same time.

We arrived early around 9.30am, but the Water Park not yet open, thus we went to the playground near the park and play for awhile. There were some other children there too. At sharp 10.00am, then we went back to the Water Park and start to queue for our turns to enter the park.

IMG_7553 This time around, all of us can enjoy in the Thunder River, Pirates Cove, Bermuda Triangle, Storm Rider, Whirlwind Escape, Super Hurricane, Tornado Rush, Kiddy Typhoon Lagoon. Daddy able to accompany Issac played the Super Hurricane which is the latest slide at Wet World Water Park Shah Alam. Super Hurricane would provide the most memorable experience definitely.

IMG_7573In addition, two other newly introduced are Thunder River and the Caribbean Rider. With just sitting on the floats, you will forge ahead without stopping. Two of this, I did try together with Annabelle. It was really fun!

All day wading and playing in the water can increase a person’s appetite. Wet World Cafe is providing light meals, snacks and hot and cold drinks which can refresh the body.

IMG_7576 We did order some fried meehon, fried rice, fried chicken, nuggets together with the drinks as well for our craving of food after the play.

I can really see Daddy was happy for being with kids. Both Issac and Annabelle too, were happy too as it was more happy than previously we came.

After the Wet World, we were thinking of going to the Aquarium next to it but only found out that the Aquarium not more there, as the existing place where it located had became an abandoned area and construction were leaving behind there.

IMG_7642 Immediately, my thought was like, “Things do change, don’t they?”

Daddy just sent us back home and he left afterwards back to his place at Kuala Lumpur. I know he will miss the children too…

Surely, I know that both of the children were having a fun and happy day. That is the only thing that matter to me…

The Road Not Taken

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood,
And sorry I could not travel both
And be one traveller, long I stood
And looked down one as far as I could
To where it bent in the undergrowth;

Then took the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Because it was grassy and wanted wear,
Though as for that the passing there
Had worn them really about the same,

And both that morning equally lay
In leaves no step had trodden black.
Oh, I marked the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if I should ever come back.

I shall be telling this with a sigh
Somewhere ages and ages hence:
Two roads diverged in a wood, and I,
I took the one less travelled by,
And that has made all the difference.

30 Dec 2012

2012年 ~ 走過一些起伏、一些選擇、一些困頓、一些阻礙、一些掙扎、一些突破、一些失落、一些學習、一些再成長....

2012年沒有白過,但卻不代表這一年走過的一切都已揭示出意義,畢竟,生命總是持續的在教導、在醞釀、在發酵,而今年所遇到的人事物,也許在某一天,才能整個看到更全面的意義,與更被洞察出的關鍵意涵。

Annabelle Birthday Home Celebration 1 Oct 2012

2012-10-11T10-20-56_4Daddy asked Mummy to buy a small birthday cake for Annabelle’s birthday home celebration.

This is the first birthday that Daddy is not staying with us, but I know that he still loves Issac and Annabelle very much.

He would not wants to miss every single of their birthday. Due to his work, he can only come to our house at night.

Thus, Mummy just went straight to the bakery and cake shop bought a small cake. I know that Annabelle loves Daddy and to celebrate her birthday together with her Daddy.

2012-10-11T10-20-56_10Daddy came to home at night. Mummy took the cake out from the fridge.

It is a chocolate moist cake with a strawberry and a mini macaroon on top of the cake as decoration.

I put on 5 sticks of the birthday candles. All of us together, sang Annabelle the birthday song and she blew the candles.

I can see from her face, she really enjoyed that moments, and sang together with us the “Happy Birthday” song. I took a photo of Annabelle together with Daddy cutting the birthday cake.

2012-10-11T10-20-56_1After we ate the birthday cake, Daddy brought a surprise birthday present to Annabelle.

It is a kid’s scooter! And, she loves it so much! Issac too, because both of them can share the scooter sometime.

I can feel Issac too, he was a bit quite during Daddy was here.

May be he was hiding his love and excitement inside his heart, as he afraid that he would miss his Dad more.

My heart was aching when I noticed this. Eventually, I encouraged him to join in when Daddy assemble Annabelle’s new scooter, then he was relaxing a bit.

2012-10-11T10-20-56_18

Both Issac and Annabelle were happy whenever they saw their Daddy around.

Annabelle Birthday The Core Celebration 1 Oct 2012

2012-10-11T10-17-12_7I have been planning and put on my thinking hat a lot for Annabelle’s Birthday.

I do not know why, may be it is because ever since we had been separated, Daddy moved out and staying somewhere else…making me put in effort in things that would make both of the kids happy.

Lately, I had the opportunity to go to the Wondermilk Cupcakes House at Citta Mall while waiting for both Issac and Annabelle come out from their art class at Jane Yap Atelier.

2012-10-11T10-17-12_5It really do amazed me with all sorts of cute designs cupcakes. Thus, made me decided that I place an order a box of cupcakes with her name on it as her birthday celebration at school.

I ordered a week earlier and took the cake on Sunday and kept it at the store room in the house.

She was so excited during seeing her cake. The cupcakes is indeed beautiful.

I prepared the party bags for her classmates as well. I bought quite a lot of titbits and pencil cases with stationeries for her friends too.

2012-10-11T10-17-12_15After sending Annabelle in the morning to The Core, Issac together with me went for our breakfast.

Issac Primary 1 is in the afternoon class, so I can bring him together and we celebrate Annabelle birthday at school.

Around the recess time, Issac was helping Mummy to take the 2 big green bags contained with the party bags. I was taking the cupcake box to her classroom. Her classroom is at the 1st floor.

2012-10-11T10-17-12_23All the children were excited and happy too. We sang together “Happy Birthday” song to her, and Annabelle was so happy. Issac too, squeeze in the group of children.

Her teacher helped us to take a group photo together with her classmates.

After which, I sent Issac back to Aunty Joyce’s house to get ready to go to his school.

She is happy. Hopefully, she does not feel lack of love in home…
