A Sand and Sea Time…

Praise the Lord for the good weather. It was a bright and sunny afternoon. All set for a great beach time. Sis and I each prepared some snacks and finger foods.

Baked chicken wings, baby potatoes & broccoli salads, fresh fruits from me. Vietnamese spring roll, inari and guacamole as the dipped for nachos from sis.

We headed to Pantai Morib which is the nearest beach from Klang but ended up at Pantai Kelanang about 5km from Morib. It is a mangrove swamp which the Selangor government turn into a major seafront 4 years ago. We had been there 2 years back so this time was a revisit.

All set to swim but it did not materialised because the beach water is too murky as it’s a mangrove swamp.  So the kids ended up playing with sands on the soft sandy beach.

I put Jonathan to stand in the water but he got scared seeing the waves rushing towards him. He had a great time playing with sands and the beach toys. He is smart of not putting sands or fingers in his mouth.

It pays to gain some fun and so we ended up with itchy legs from the sandflies bites till today. *scratch…scratch…*

For Egg & Burger Lover

My Darling is an egg lover. He can’t live without eggs. His favourite is half-boiled egg but funny thing is he himself could hardly done up a perfect half-boiled egg.

Let me share with you my Darling’s own recipe of burger with egg. For those of you who are health concious, this is definitely something you are not interested in. But no harm trying it once, who knows you may fall in love with it.

First, place a piece of burger meat in a bowl.

 

Then, break the egg on top of the burger meat. Tap some pepper and/or soya sauce. Put it to steam until the burger meat is cooked which is approximately 10 minutes.

 

Here, serve with chilli or tomato sauce and mayonnaise.

 

I’m not a professional photographer so the pictures don’t look so great but the taste sure are! But we find that the burger meat is not as tasty as before.

Fun Fair in Town

There’s a fun fair in town just beside Aeon Bukit Tinggi shopping mall. Euro Fun Park they called it. Since my SIL and her daughter was here last Saturday, we decided to bring the little ones there. Moreover it’s Jonathan’s first time so we want to see how is his reaction towards the whole event and rides. I just can’t remember how long ago since my last entrance to a fun fair.

We have to pay for an entrance fee and it’s not cheap…RM3 per adult and RM2 per children. I don’t remember we have to pay to enter during my time many years ago. RM2 for each token and the minimum token per ride is 2 tokens. Truly, it’s expensive…maybe…comparing to my time.

We headed first to the Ferris Euro Wheel and that required 3 tokens per person so that was RM6 per ride just for a few circles of round and round and don’t know how may rounds. But it was all for the sake of Jonathan so we were willing to pay for it…just for this time!

While on the Euro Wheel, he behaved well. He looked around up high in the sky but he was very quiet.

OMG, look at this timid boy. Again, scared like a kitty cat.

He clinged to us most of the time we were at the fair. He is not used to the bombastic sound and music with scarry witch voice. I hope he don’t do that to his girlfriend next time…memalukan.

We headed to Super Jet, another children ride. It is sort like jets on the tentacles of an octopus where it brings you up and down and round and round. Shy to say, both of us (what a big kiddo huh?) sat on the same aeroplane. With Darling’s weight, I can feel the whole thing is going to tumble on our side. The most secure person is Jonathan who we placed in between us. He was so calm. I guess he was shock with Mommy screaming beside him.

That was all we had. After all, I was felling a bit nausea after the Super Jet ride so we headed home and my lunch and dinner just went all into the toilet bowl.

The fair will be here till 31 October 2008. We may go there again with my “Children Next Door”.

Hope you enjoy your weekend, folks! I definitely am cause we are going to the beach. Praying for a good weather.

“O”…for Orange

Jonathan boy is up on the October 2008 issue of Parenthood magazine’s “Baby’s First Meal” photo contest sponsored by Milna. It’s not easy to have your photo selected so I was blessed enough this time and the previous time. Just doing it for fun only when I am free to get those photos printed and post them out on time.

This pic was taken in the ferry on our way to Pangkor Island for my grandma’s birthday. The oranges were so sweet and Jonathan boy just couldn’t resist it and sis managed to snap a candid of this big eater.

Jonathan’s 1st Birthday Celebration

A good job from Jericca - Pretty Frosting.

Jonathan boy in his birthday pyjamma and shoe.

Just a simple celebration at home with my sis and her kids. Besides the cake, we had KFC for supper.

All his! Nobody can touch the cake or spoon. Big boy already...

Presents time!

Yeah, all for me! And a special present, "First 100 Words" book from my friend, Philip.

It is not a grand one as many would have thought it would be for a child’s first birthday. We are so tempted to have one for Jonathan boy after seeing many parents out there were talking about and making plans for their child’s first birthday party. We think he’s too young to understand all the fun, perhaps we’ll consider a party for him next year when he knows better what birthday is all about. So long there is a cake with candle and Daddy, Mommy singing birthday song, Jonathan definitely a happy kid.
