I am pretty tired of what we usually have for dinner. So yesterday I decided that I should have Sukiyaki.
Nothing special about the ingredients I used, but it is more of the accompany and the joy of new food idea for dinner. I will do it again! :)) I simply love it.
Simple, nice and convenient! :D

Shabu-Shabu
7 Jun 09 (Sunday)
Yesterday I had the best beef I have ever tasted. It's the famous Miyazaki beef from Japan. The beef just melt in your mouth. Louise also surprised me with the number of slices she ate. It was a pity the I forgot to take pictures. Anyway I have been very lazy in updating my blog lately. But, I managed to find a nice picture from the Medi-ya supermarket webpage. :)
I am trying so hard to get rid of the 5-kg I gain, but it looks like everything has gone to the drain again. Just feeling so helpless sometimes...Needless to say, in 5 more days I will be going to Alaska for my holiday. Goodness! I hope I won't put on extra kgs by the time I am back!

So LAZY!!!
I have not been blogging lately!!! I am so, so, so lazy. I don't think I will update about my HCMC trip in my blog because I am purely too lazy to do so.
Well, lately I had proposed to Andy that I wanted to stay home to look after my kids. I just wonder what is up in his mind sometimes... He is so flicker minded. Anyway just sigh....
Jovan has been getting into arguements and fights with his classmate. Teachers fedback to me that he is violent. I am very concern about this. Jovan likes to keep things to himself and even when you ask him, he will just smile or keep quiet. When he talks, half of the time it is a lie. I wonder was he being neglected by us before. A lot of thoughts... he is really a tough one to handle. Actually I felt like crying when I was driving home yesterday. I am like at the end of my wit. I pity him too, I know some boys had not been nice to him. He accumulated all the anger and retaliate.

10th Year Wedding Anniversary + Louise's Birthday
20 - 22 Feb 2009
The 2nd day, we woke up early to have breakfast before I proceed for my Thai massage. I have got to pamper myself too. Hee! After my massage, I “played” hide & seek with my family for about 1hour and I felt that I waste that 1hour. Thereafter, we sent kiddos to the children centre where they have playground, games and movies for the children. About 2 hours later, we had fun at the pool with kiddos.
Having fun at the pool.
Our dinner was at the Japanese restaurant, the price isn’t worth for the food we get I think. Then again we sent kiddos to the children care centre and myself & Andy will go to the casino for an hour or so. I was having very bad flu that day in fact, so I was quite grouchy by 11.30pm. :P hee….
Well, the 3rd day was also the last day on board of Star Virgo. Actually, nothing much to do on the last day because we reach Harbour front at about 11am. Nonetheless, had fun and was felt relax and happy throughout the entire trip.
I was almost at the end of my wit on what to get for our 10th year anniversary and Louise’s birthday. Finally I settled on a family get together at Star Virgo as the gift. It was really a last minutes decision indeed. I made the booking on Wednesday and we boarded the cruise on Friday evening.
This is a special gift because it doesn’t have a physical item as a remembrance; instead it will have nice memory. As to why I chose to go to cruise… it is because Andy loves the “ding ding ding” and kiddos love the fun they had on board.

Inside our cabin, kiddos exploring the small cabin and watching TV. Daddy is reading the itinerary for tomorrow.
We boarded the cruise at about 7pm on 20 Feb 09 and went into our room to unpack our stuff. The cabin was quite cramp for 4 pax and we had problem trying to locate the 4th bed. After we had settled down, we went for our dinner and then we started to tour around the ship. We played some games, took photos and we went back to rest around 11+pm. As for Andy, he went to the casino of course!
At the main lobby of Star Virgo
We were at the deck of the cruise
Pool side...
Kiddos playing games with excitement!
Cutie toothbrush for kiddos
We have got no choice but to charge our walkie talkie in the toilet. The hair dryer is the only place with power point. :S
Time for bed on the 1st night.

A nice dip in the jacuzzi.
Nice painting on the wall at the deck.
Jovan was upset because we walked away not knowing that he wanted to take a pic too! :p
Alright, done. He is happier now. :D

Day 1- Gold Coast
Day 1 - 4 Dec 08
I have wanted to write about my family trip to Gold Coast but I was quite lazy to get started. It was a 7 days trip so I will have a long, long list to go.
Checking in at T3
We departed from Singapore Changi Airport (T3) on 3 Dec 08, a Wednesday night. We had bought tickets on economy class but had used the Krisflyer points to redeem for biz class seats. The kids were really excited about the trip and me too! That was because I was the one doing most of the planning on the itinerary and accommodation.
Inside T3. A photo taken with some effect by Andy Chan.
Day 1 – 4 Dec 08, Thursday
Yeah!!! We arrived at Brisbane airport!!!
We arrived Brisbane on 4 Dec 08. First thing after we check out from the immigration counter, we went to pick up our car. We had decided to rent a MPV although there are only 4 of us. :P
Even though we didn’t sleep well on the plane, none of us dozed off during 2 hours journey to our 1st destination, Mt. Nathan Winery. We arrived at the place in the afternoon. Their show just ended with the tour group earlier so we didn’t get a chance to see how they brew the wine. We just walked around the farm, took some pictures and also bought wine and honey. Then we left the place.
Outside Mt. Nathan Winery
Grapes for wine.
With GPS, Andy decided to roam around the area and he saw “playground”. He selects, and off we go. Who knows, there isn’t any playground but just a big, big field. Still, we got down from the car and walked around. We bumped into a couple and they show us to a stream. They have 2 friendly, old dogs. The dogs were so friendly that they had frightened the kids. After playing at the stream, we went to the field to run about.
We were at the stream. Andy didn't managed to help me capture the pic with the doggy :(((
The big , big field I mentioned.
As it is the 1st day and I supposed we will be suffering from jet lag, I had planned the day to be very relax. So Andy check on GPS again and we went driving around. “Dou Dou Feng”
The same chair I took a pic for Louise about 4 years back...
Dinner at Hog's Breath. Andy ordered this.
At about 4pm, we check in to our hotel, Courtyard by Marriott. Well, we were pretty tired by then. We just settled our dinner at Hog’s Breath. After dinner, we went jalan, jalan around Surfer’s Paradise. Shop! Shop! Shop!

Jovan ordered a burger. I can't help but to take pic of how he eat his dinner. He makes the food looks yummy!
Louise ordered chicken nuggets. She had finished her food and was playing with the mini umbrella.
At about 4pm, we check in to our hotel, Courtyard by Marriott. Well, we were pretty tired by then. We just settled our dinner at Hog’s Breath. After dinner, we went jalan, jalan around Surfer’s Paradise. Shop! Shop! Shop!

Day 2 - Gold Coast
Day 2 - 5 Dec 08
On the 2nd day, our 1st destination was to visit Paradise Country. I wanted my kids to be exposed to animals as they get very little chance to play with them. We kind of had a hard time looking for the place as it is not very popular. Also, it is kind of hidden behind Movie World & Australian Outback Spectacular.
Paradise Country
Picture with the Koalas :))) They are so CUTE!
Jovan is very sporting and he was so game to bottle feed the sheep.
Photo taken with the crews. The cups kiddos are holding is fresh milk. Very yummy. They baked very delicious bread too!
The lambs are all very dei dei. Look at the lamb laying so comfy in Andy's arms. Now I know why my little lamb is so dei!
Adventerous Jovan in act again. This time he is milking the cow!
Show time! Shearing the sheep coat.
He is showing how they get the honey from the bees. He also explained how they have different flavour for the honey.
Australian likes to start their day early so that they could end early. After the tour at Honey Bee World, it was only about 4.30pm but they are going to end their day of work soon. However, Andy insisted to go Pacific Fair to shop around. We reached there around 5.00pm and most of the shops were either closed or going to close. We only managed to spend about 1 hour there before proceeding back to hotel.
Taken at Pacific Fair.
We went back to our hotel to change and proceed for dinner. Again, using GPS we searched for our dinner place. I chanced upon this place called Peter’s Wharf but it was closed when we reached there. In the end, we settled our dinner “next door” at a restaurant cum pub cum bar place.
Me, enjoying an ice cold beer. Their local brand, VB.
Jovan's new found love.... Calamari.
Nice view out there :)

I am glad we went cos it is interesting and educational for the children. Oh yes! They have a very interesting parrot too! His name is Chuckle and he talks! :o)
