Hearty Breakfast @ O'Brien's Irish Sandwich Damansara Heights 19 Sep 2013

After reaching the office settled some paper works, I was out again to Damansara Heights for the Way Restaurant project site. I was so hungry and decided to have my breakfast or brunch at this hour 11.00am, and had my coffee for the day.

The American breakfast is so nicely done up and really delighted me, at least… I had my little own time to think about what I have now and what I what…

Lately, I was a bit puzzled about our relationship… We are trying to work out on coming back together again, for the sake of our both children Issac and Annabelle.

Sometimes, I am thinking like: How that can be happened? Is he really sincere and true about what he wants? Is this what he wants? Or he is still cheating on both sides? Tones of questions are wondering in my mind… Do I need to take the risks of getting hurt again, and again?

I know the best thing to do now is handling well and concentrate to the project in hand, and focus more in the new house which the ex-owner had been moved out since last August. That would make me more productive, instead of thinking what would happen between me and him. I have to rely on myself instead of him, in building back whatever were falling in piece and pieces. If really cannot be fixed, just throw away and re-do a new one. I was so attached to him, may be I love him so, so much, and more than what I can imagine. It is so frightened…

Have to help myself and walk out on my own. Just focus whatever that God have install for me and just do what I feel is right, most importantly for both children and myself.

Pulau Ketam 15 Sep 2013

We came back to Pulau Ketam again. Usually we would park our car at the Subang Jaya KTM Station and took the KTM from Subang to Port Klang, a journey of nearly an hour each way.

This time, we were bringing Kinki go together with us, thus we have to drive the car to the Jetty Point and parked our car at the parking area. We walked to the Jetty Point, the ferry leaves every 45 minutes to one hour, from 7:00am to around 7:00pm.

We took the speed boat, and it is a bit expensive than the normal ferry. But, the experience and feelings of the wind blowing to your face during the boat on their way to the Pulau Ketam.

This time around, we stayed at Pulau Ketam Inn. The room is quite cramp but it is ok as long as they have air-conditioning.

We did not purposely make reservations up front as there is almost always something available. Just worst case scenario, is that we take the last boat back to Port Klang only.

Main reason why tourists visit Pulau Ketam is of course to enjoy a fantastic meal at one of the many great seafood restaurants.

Usually one will find a big bucket full with live crabs in front of every restaurant during lunch time. If you are staying over for the night, make sure you head over to the restaurants in time as all the fresh seafood is often already finished later in the evening.

The islands' specialty is crab. There are a few restaurant on the island, thus we tried different restaurant during our breakfast, lunch and dinner time. The breakfast would be just ok only, but as the lunch and dinner, we were satisfying for the value for money meals. Of coarse, Pulau Ketam had become a tourists destination, thus it would be in tourists’ price too.

The island is characterized by the houses built on stilts; it is a so-called water village. They are built in such a way that it almost looks like the houses float.

Pulau Ketam only consists of two small villages on stilts and not much more. The biggest part of the island is only accessible by boat because of the swampland and mangroves. Main activities are walking around in the village, or biking through the village on a rental bicycle.

We did the walking and had great fun. The village is not that big, but it still takes over an hour to explore the whole area.

During the trip we took a few stops to enjoy the scenery, views or a snack that is sold at every corner of the village. We pass by the one and only bank in the island – Maybank. Kids were asking Daddy to buy for them the wind wheel to play.

We did visit the fishermen cold storage areas where they take off or parking their boats, and the place they cold store their fish after come back from sea. At that point of time, there weren’t anybody at the dock, we just sat at the area and see the views of the villages.

During our walking trip we drove past a wooden fishing boat factory; the owner builds these wooden boats (almost solely) by hand. There also are two Chinese temples; Nang Thiam Keng Temple and Hock Leng Keng Temple and many small altars scattered throughout the village. Most other activities involve eating at the many seafood restaurants, where regular dishes are also being served.

Overall a good trip for both children, as they able to spend some valuable time with Daddy. I noted that he keep on looking at his hand phone…Well, just a short trip for both children…

Tonight Issac got the ideas from Onom character. He drew our family in alien characters. This is so creative! He is creating something new!

Annabelle helping her brother to post the characters. They are so excited!

Issac drew daddy Alvin in blue colour, holding working bag and book; Issac in his favourite yellow colour, holding bottle and lollipop; Annabelle in maroon colour holding rattle and lollipop; whereby me is in pink colour, holding a bottle of spray cleaning bottle and cleaning cloth.

Issac added one more character – Kinkin, the green dog!

Finally, Issac added the Onom in the drawing. He is happy with his creation! I was crying as I watching them draw and so happy, I can feel their happiness. But at the same time I feel afraid too… afraid of losing all these happiness again…
