It quite a fun experiences for us as we drew slowly and focus the patterns that we like and learn onto the T-shirt. It’s a very enjoying process and moment. We showcased our artwork and post for group photos.

Here is the patterns I drew. I bought the T-Shirts at Brands Outlet with 3 shirts in RM50.00. I intend to draw a pattern for Alvin. That is why I drew with the letter “A”. I hope he likes it! ^^

Alvin Birthday Celebration

Today is Alvin’s birthday. On our way back to home, I stopped by Berry’s Cake House to buy a birthday cake for him. We had our dinner at Hunan Restaurant at Bandar Puteri Puchong. Alvin loves to eat Chinese Si Chuan or Hunan dishes. We have a yummilicious dinner.

Then I went to the Zentangle class tonight. After the class, I drove back to home to blow the candles and cut the birthday cake together with Alvin and the children. Daddy together with Issac and Annabelle blew the candles together and cut the cakes.

For this year it has been quite rushing for me to prepare Alvin’s birthday present. I took a day off yesterday to go to the Tangs to choose Alvin’s birthday gift. I saw he have 2 or 3 ties which he used to wear to the Church every Sunday. I am thinking of a pair of ties for him. I hand picked 2 ties for him.

IMG_2037

I just told Alvin that there are only little presents which costs a little that I am able to buy for him and hope that he like the ties. He said, the ties design not bad.

We all hugged him and love this man of our life too! Red heart Red heart Red heart

As usual, we drove our car and park at the nearest parking to the Subang Jaya Komuter Station. Around 9.00am, we commute using Komuter to the Port Klang Komuter Station. Opposite from the Port Klang Station is the Ferry Terminal for the passengers.

Both Issac and Annabelle were so happy and they did all kinds of funny funny things, stuffs in the train. The train stopped a lot of places, and it took about an hour journey for us to reach to the end of the train route.

Finally we came to the South Port Passenger Terminal about 10.00am to buy the tickets for the boat. We can see a huge giant golden crab at the Terminal. It is the landmark to take a photograph or check in before we ride on to the speedboat.

We had our quick breakfast at the Terminal and bought 2 packets of Pulau Ketam style of Nasi Lemak. It is really Pulau Ketam style as the nasi lemak comes with small shrimps sambal and shrimps crispy dried chili. Indeed tasted different.

Due to the public holiday, there are a lot of tourists. The speedboat was scheduled to depart around 10.30am. We choose to stand at the roof of the speedboat to enjoy the view and breeze at the sea.

It was almost 11.30am when we stepped our feet on the Pulau Ketam. It took us about 60 minutes to reach Pulau Ketam. The island was crowded with people, especially the restaurants.

We choose Restaurant Remember Me. The first thing to do is to find an empty table in a restaurant. We ordered a dish of deep fried fish with sweet and sour sauce, a dish of butter fried prawns and a seaweed fish ball soup. We extra ordered a large fried omelette with clams.

After the lunch, we just walked through the market and walked into the boardwalks on the island. There are a lot of Chinese Temples on the island. We passed by the one and only school on the island.

We were just wandering around on the island and the heat of the sun was so strong that we finally surrender and headed back to the jetty to catch a speedboat back. This time around we choose to sit inside the seating areas in the boat and enjoying the aircond inside.

We were so tired mainly due to the hot weather. It was almost 4.00pm when we reach home. After that we just rested in our small home and enjoy the rest of the day.

Well… it’s a good day that we get together and enjoy the day as family. We took quite a number of the selfie too!
