Little did I know that there were a lot more overdue parking penalty for my car and so I had them checked Erwin's car too. Yup, you guessed it, there was! I ended up paying RM79.00 (Inclusive of RM5 charges for printing out the list of penalty(ies) for both my car and Erwin's).</div><div><br /> </div><div>So peeps, even if you thought you have paid all your parking coupon fees, you may have missed out a few/missed out the dateline of paying within the 3 working days - just go and have a check at DBKU before it starts piling up!!</div><div><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522213351793843506" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhWCMhQLGqPNBCmdfP2ArIdkKcx_vFPCwtxVP7dw64uSwJ4YTckJc6IOy0vxVvbP7Emu5B8quHiP-Akxtz_YPdMRrrAFl0PkamQT9B4GsokfEEgAibg7ELND9EyMFEvOMN2cBfbvtPJ9fY/s320/20092010586.jpg" border="0" /><br />Well, after spending that much money that morning, we got hungry and decided to have a light snack - I took Emir to Bombay Masala, Jalan Kulas and we had roti canai and tossee.</div><div><br /><br /><br /></div><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5522213344480787634" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikCQfPRr5hRwM_Tv8wgo7S84B3YR69wnASc5zWyjCVmnBAW6Dxk4SfFHx2bSipuS6bzHAKvkX_rqGfmOF1_CiRaFKczTGOuLvmFt63KpLC5k1769fa19U1W0y6hm_fx0QV0lktK1umMKk/s320/20092010583.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div>He could finish half of the tossee and loves to dip them into all the sauce(s).</div><br /><br /><div>Ok - DBKU done!

Dr Azizah said highly likely baby could be a girl.. either way, we're happy so long as baby's thriving and healthy right...<br /><br />oh ya, I was given a tetanus shot this time around...<br /><br /></div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify"> </div><div align="justify">.. and Emir when asked what's the baby's gender?

I am not complaining and finding ways to minimise the effects ... but on days it just doesnt do much... I do miss my old active self... luckily reading literature like "What to expect ... " does help and very reassuring when it says ... it is normal to feel as such and that it is OK to not do and complete housechores... and am the luckiest having the most understanding hubby in the world... Emir doesnt have much use of me... so long as daddy is around to care for him ... so in that sense atleast I dont feel I am neglecting him much while I lie down and wait for my headache to subside... the vomitting I can handle.. it's the splitting headache which renders me sometimes immobile .... </div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">Nonetheless, indeed I am very thankful for this second gift and cant wait to meet her/him in person soonest... mummy loves you very very much</div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">... Hmmmm... what else ... oh ya, last weekend Erwin's second bro Irwan finally tied the knot with his fiancee Azilawati (Ilot). The akad was on 3.7.2010 and the reception was held at Civic Centre the day after. But at the same time one of my best friends' wedding was also held on the same day in KL!!! Mixed emotions there .... wish I was there for Ene .... but in my early pregnancy, it is adviseble to take it easy and not travel ... so I only sent love thru my messages and calls... </div><br /><div align="justify"></div><br /><div align="justify">... Hmmm ... I guess that's about it... I do hope it will get better this second tri mester and that I would be able to complete the one month Ramadhan fasting ...

I did not watch any movies at the cinema during my pregnancy... that's another 9 months of non-movie activity... </div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Then AVATAR by James Cameron came out! We decided that we MUST atleast not miss the boat on this one.. we missed out on Twilight (finally manage to see what the fuss is about once it was shown in HBO) ... missed out on the last two Harry Potter movies... </div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Watching cinema seemed to be the last thing on our mind... in light of finding time to take off to catch a movie, finding a baby-sitter for Emir during the weekends... cupcakes... etc etc...</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">So after our little mini vacation, we decided... to catch AVATAR after reading and hearing all the raving reviews about the same. Emir of course had to go to nursery/school that day... I wish that he was old enough to appreciate watching a movie in the cinema... but I doubt that my little one would have the ability to stay still and focus for the next 2hr 45mins ... but when I sent him to nursery that morning he had a big grin on his face cause he already saw his friend, Amar Zaim at the door... so Erwin and I can go and catch a movie... guilt-free... </div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">I know that literature has said that a couple has to take time off for themselves... but for Erwin and I .. we do want to make the effort and will still do so... but we just love that little boy so much... that after the movie we went straight to nursery to pick him up cause we miss him sooo much.... and even got him new Ultraman toys.. which he is totally obsessed about!</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Anyways, review of movie... I had zero idea of what the movie was about and Erwin did tell me it had nothing to do with Ang the Avatar... and I wanted to catch the movie with zero idea/expectation to have a good clean review of the same.</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">I gave it 7/10. Only cause I found some scenes a bit slow and that was the only flaw. Most probably I'd give it a different review had I watched the movie in 3D... (but the earliest show was at 315pm and we had to pick up Emir latest by 530pm) ... but once is enough for me... </div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Erwin loved it!</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Other than that... the movie is superb. The CGI... the cinematography... songs... characters..</div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify"><br /></div><div style="TEXT-ALIGN: justify">Oh ya, that's the first time we've been to MBO The Spring. Facilities and surroundings were impressive.

KOK SIONG. The sale assistant, Sharon was quite good and manage to provide us (with most of the details we got from our own research prior to going there).

I mean we could have gone an ate our heart out eating seafood at Taman Kereta... but once in a while dinner with nice ambiance would be a nice change dont you think?<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398226868851546386" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhAYRokE1HolI52LHIfGMHJsRIsRRVXUNnbl6hy-PJ_bxw7FF_IlSLkniVPp1QSxRjJ4gm0ABrVThK19rVJa6eXEjYTNhIg8qwEsRH7E9nIOl7FHa8m7DMgdAtQazuuDcDPlogMafLje3A/s320/131020091120.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br />It rained that night so we were glad that we decided to go to Hilton otherwise we'd be having dinner in the rain hehehe <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398225115700818770" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEivPqmPb8BukKtyMqhv_uBJgkimThQ9NPIZACsFh9I6k0fhQS0SvVnm11FO0Fa25_LuE84CzrRcFSnN2YapmEawllU09HF86HcefTrtu4gHKV3xAEAzFddZbHzUS35xd5TQLq0z2DunoMg/s320/131020091119.jpg" border="0" /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398225102562744210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh5c6j759SziQinKaN-kVqpFAOEVfVxAg0t8smnp3RrenBAJ11uF12vExnDhvhumHB_elyCr-wfHt2K2eH_CvoD_W5WH6tghHNAw_GILoowtZ9otJCCJ4GKvBuy3PyPkQ-vgDqtP6ViFt0/s320/131020091117.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br />So we arrived at 8-ish and so the restaurant has prepared our dishes and was ready to serve. Emir was in a foul mood coz he was already sleepy in the car but I didnt let him fall asleep and tried my best to distract him until we reached Hilton coz he has not had his milk that evening and I do not want to go to sleep on an empty tummy.<br /><br />Alhamdulillah, he managed to stay awake just in time to catch my brother, my cousin Milah, my sis and Usup's special friend, Ayon taking pictures in the parking lot. God, they're so vain hehehe <img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398226882689255314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjIT7532aPdfh-ybP7BBBVEGQMAANazbvIM-0G3mL2N8BqDgAtWIYO9oygo4OCbFG6p0v4nUQ_yixSPLyRIBQ6hE-w8WqmKX3vJLewMpmhFSh55rmBpG4gdPQg0TsnvBlIk_4de0bPu4CQ/s320/131020091125.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398225111869707362" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi2tT7Pk4pJb6IivM38hTG-HTN5p8-5OfsjWkWSE4C5It_fo82cd9gq0nsJk3DK2ytYCCWm7Y2HfGhueLp1wNXNVs0NXIlx6k739dfCywD-zIBvt0fQkTZmP5F5vQkXn_p14T32MSC1Ki0/s320/131020091118.jpg" border="0" /><br />While waiting for the food to be served, the girls and Usup took like a million no of photos inside and outside the restaurant and Erwin and I and Emir went to the cafe near the lobby to buy a slice of cake to be shared between Usup and Jijah (we meant this to be a surprise but later on a waiter came and asked whether the cake is to be served before or after dinner...bummer)...

(Later on Erwin bought one huge bottle of Coke and 100 Plus at 7-11 and both didnt even amount to RM9! and My cousin stopped at a UniShop to also buy one huge bottle of Coke and later on my brother who came back after sending Ayon off to Samarahan, came back with also a huge bottle of soda water).... and all the four bottles cost cheaper than the 5 cans of coke we had at Hilton...</span></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify"><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">All in all, we had a good time... the food was nice (but knowing my family members they would prefer to be guzzling down huge amount of food at Taman Kereta)... the place was lovely.... the service was fantastic of course...</span></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5398225125822067090" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguGOfFS1r2nH0bkPPEONdWscnWuNhgLbSDyN9EfsNvAsEP1ezNlnbWr9NhSOGyseBQf7T6bl4setzDqa7u3Hve9lOV8t5vlAK4JCulu6xGj5at-qC88cbDK3gUZ793CDfGgLN-Yx4uQME/s320/131020091136.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /></span><br /><div align="justify"><span style="font-size:130%;">Emir "cannot tahan" (couldnt stand it already) that he gave me this look when I took this picture... time to go home mummy it's pass my bed time and I am sleepy...</span></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><span style="font-size:130%;">...

Later on, they came back with orange juice and some fruits which they bought at Wisma Satok nearby.</div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify"></div>Some pictures taken during the one hour plus wait:<br /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391594191461880866" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQZSqWdPRjWO_NMC4yW0vl0jCet23mOql36TfvF8d5T8_Xa1Rb7PnRtqmR2-FDHZCNaPn-XWx0Lqfz_J3FOuLUF-ju755IEs9S_-1cYXriDBnfQSmwrMm1YNa_vPRgKGe6zCk_bi6hLr4/s320/111020091102.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391597018420318242" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEieMMu3Unt7RgZPzBm9DSWR5IWVR1s_yQHBDL7MD7Q-p3VNwFCNqlnewPrBQE-C_8gYlUiTM05yye0OWUdPZMJGn4ODTl0YO2IU7fNYHSAFtFsXPEHgyN3wsPFdoVODSR7N4RMvwLCg0lY/s320/111020091098.jpg" border="0" /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391597001170475682" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWN7wLSLkolcJ595cIRfV3EQKC1nrVW-fNVtznBP-LBJ0ldfMi2_aqMrH-9cTZevARbRPJQQYw92bFjDdhZeWXmXRWwP2mRLaUsrkQ7jl2zcyOT8AbyFwbI4wcygm2eihWjx5CcNLsfho/s320/111020091101.jpg" border="0" /><br /><div align="justify">Oh ya, we also love the tendon soup and the beef soup.</div><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391594198695210626" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNWShHawwNPfyM4w-ZngsweEOqbAkK36Bx7mZyzn1d-xVWMhAwpyVoRp1L81d6dcKK2zVm7vJkfl_9nQnt52gNBUbfiLZmALMccKydXbjJT8d_gM7QGVM8814QxAwbd52mWbSDG6rUOIg/s320/111020091104.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify">One hour of waiting and took less than 5 minutes to gobble everything up. </div><br /><br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5391594212418248834" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjGdSFVofqpwS2NorcBcvNO5oCI-Rz_uWHO_vsnBpsKcnHTBb5j_JXAs2W2VGKUg3JVP2-lavrUBXvnsbOE4wngqfc9siv6GRHuaJzxPZlmVx9hd_zJJts_DD19heQGP2KvocucsYHew-w/s320/111020091105.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><br /><br /><div align="justify">Then we'd be looking forward to next weekend again...</div><br /><br /><br /><br />Seriously the mee is that good!My Cupcakes by Anor (Kuching Sarawak)http://www.blogger.com/profile/00132397793840974248noreply@blogger.com1
