My niece Michelle brought some excitement back to all at home a couple of weeks ago.
She bought a puppy back from a pet shop in Serdang. It was a 7-week-old puppy when it was brought back and it cost her RM600.
Lexy, the puppy, is so....................cute!!! It is clever and restless. It can shake hand with us, stand up and sit down when is ordered to do so, isn't it wonderful?!! :)

soundly asleep...... zzzzzzzzz....

Back from Indonesia

Candi Borobudur


Back from Indonesia.
Enjoy the 4-days-trip pretty much.

Candi Borobudur is a monument that may only attract tourists with buddhism background or those who are really interested in arts and architecture. Candi means temple.
It is surrounded by 5 volcanoes and 2 rivers. There is a possibility for it to disappear from the earth again as what had happened in the old days due to the earthquake caused by the eruption of the volcano around it.

Candi Prambanan

We had also visited to the Candi Prambanan, a Hindu monument, Candi Sewu (Sewu is a Javanese word that means a thousand), a buddhist monument, Kraton Palace and the ruins of the palace where the 1st to 3rd Sultans had stayed in the old days in Jyogjakarta.

Ramayana Ballet

And ya, we had also watched the Ramayana Ballet at the Prambanan theatre. Ramayana Ballet is a very beautiful Javanese arts performance in combination of dance, drama and gamelan music. In their beautiful costumes, the dancers presented the story through their graceful movements as well as various facial expressions. We enjoyed the show really much.

Sunrise at the Candi Borobudur

Besides, we had also witnessed the sun rose early in the morning at the Candi Borobudur too, every one was thrilled by the awesome view of the sunrise, it was such amazing and the surrounding was such serene at that moment.

My heartfelt thanks to our trip organizer for his effort to have the free and easy trip planned perfectly, and not forget my fellow members of the trip, who had been bringing lots of joy among us throughout this trip!

House Broken In!

I used to be very confident of the safety in our housing estate here, but...
my house was broken in the previous night!

The thieves made used of all the materials outside of the house to break into my house.
They used the socks and shoe laces of our sport shoes to tie and join the 2 bamboo sticks that we used to use for hanging the washed clothes under the hot sun, and at one end of the joined bamboo sticks, they tied with an umbrella with a hook-shaped handle. Then, they opened the sliding glass door of the house and stretched the joined bamboo sticks through the grille to hook the house keys which were placed on the dining table, and this was how it happened!

They had also brought another wooden stick with a sharp end into my 89-year-old mom's bedroom. And thank heaven, mom was soundly asleep while they entered the room, and they didn't wake mom up, it is a great relief indeed that no one was harmed!

Some appliances were stolen as well as my handbag. And it had really taken me some trouble to have all the stolen cards replaced.

My most heartfelt thanks to my siblings who had been standing by me after the incident and to my younger brother who had taken a day off to accompany me to lodge police report, to have all the stolen cards replaced, to reinstall the locks of the grille and doors which the keys were taken, and to replace some of the appliances immediately. And many thanks to my kindest colleague Esther for bringing us breakfast and helping me to arrange for my afternoon class to be substituted. Thanks to my colleague Mdm Lam for taking care of my afternoon class. Thanks for the warmest consolation from my fellow colleagues, Benjamin and Rebecca as well as their most caring aunts!

Thanks to all who care and love me, your care and love is very much appreciated!

Happy Valentine!
