A great Sunday morning

Yesterday, we took two bicycles to the town for repair. I hadn’t been using the bicycle carrier since 2006. In the evening, we took the bicycles to the park. After dinner, we went home and the weather seemed like to rain. Actually, I thought of taking the kids and the bikes to the park again the next morning. But it started to rain before midnight. We changed the plan, no bike but jogging at the park.

This morning, the weather was so cool because after the rain and was perfect to go fill up the gas tank. So, we all woke up early and went to the petrol station to fill up the tank. After that we went to the park followed by breakfast.

We went to the old part of Melaka China town near by the Cheng Hoon Teng Temple for dim sum. This restaurant is Melaka most famous and oldest dim sum restaurant and one of the very few pioneer. My dad used to bought us buns and glutinous rice in lotus leaf. They were delicious 30 years ago as I could remember. That was one of the bad dim sum we ever had. Actually, the taste not too bad at all but certainly was not a good one. The service was very bad and not really kids- or baby- friendly. We quickly had some and left. When checking the bill, it was quite expensive. I will definitely not recommend that dim sum restaurant.

Forget about the bad experience at breakfast. Anyway, we all enjoyed very much today. At night we watched movies at home.

A holiday out

January 10th, 2008 at 21:19 · Filed Under At Play, Days in My Life, Eating Out, Family, Holidays · Comment

What a day out! We were at Seleria (a food court in Mahkota Parade) for lunch. There were many people although it had already passed the lunch hour. 3 dinos and the two papa mama dinos were hungry. After I bought the food, I tried to find a baby chair for Nik. I saw 3 were taken and could not find any more. I asked the cashier where I could find baby chair. She told me there were only 3. Only 3? Was she joking? So, I asked her why such a big food court (I think not less than 10,000 square feet) had only 3 baby chairs. She replied, “people steels it away. They just push out…” I shook my head and gave a sinister look and sarcastically replied, “then get more chairs and have a security guard at the door! Damn!”

We went home around 4:30. Rested, took a shower and out we went to buy satay (barbecue chicken in stick with peanut chili sauce) and noodles for dinner.

What a day out for this holiday. The 3 dinos were really tired out. They are now in their dino wonderlands…

An invitation to hiking and hunting

November 1st, 2007 at 12:15 · Filed Under At Play, Blogging, Days in My Life, Holidays, Marketing, Shopping · Comment

Last month, a friend of mine, Garry called me and invited me for a hiking and hunting. Garry and I have known each other for 2 decades. We met during a hiking. We are both enthusiastic about archery. Recently, Garry has developed immense interest in archery hunting so he invited me to share this new exciting sports. Too bad, killing animals for joy is not my cup of tea so I turned him away. I did not want to disappoint him totally so I told him I would join him for hiking.

I guess I won’t be able to hike with him because of some other commitments. I have been thinking of getting him a pair of hiking boots for Christmas. Since Garry is so into hiking and hunting, I think the hiking boots will be a great Christmas gift for Garry. MetBoots ships internationally and offers free shipping on items above $100. MetBoots also offers gift certificate for someone special.

MetBoots also has a variety of hunting boots to choose from. I bet people like Garry will be fond of it.

Another Sweet Reminiscence

September 10th, 2007 at 23:48 · Filed Under At Play, Days in My Life, Karate, Okinawa, Training Journal · Comment

Last night, it was a surprised to receive some photos from Sensei. They were taken at the Torri Station Beach Party more than a month ago on Okinawa.

It was a nice and sweet reminiscence of the great time there. The photos have lightened up me a bit. I have been busy with some projects including the new dojo. There were a lot of things in my head and in addition of the cold, I was a little stressed out and the photos came in just in time.

Two love birds, Sensei and his wife, Sumako Sempai

Beach Party at Torii Station

July 28th, 2007 at 23:46 · Filed Under At Play, Days in My Life, Karate, Okinawa, Photography · 2 Comments

We went to a beach party (Summer Bash) at the Torii Beach inside of US Army camp at Torii Station. I put on a red Hawaiian shirt which Sumako presented to me. There were many people when we arrived. The beach had got very beautiful scenery. The music was hot. The foods were tempting and ample. Kids were running around having big time fun.

The food was great! 100% American taste. They had roast pig, barbecue burger and hotdog, rice balls, beef spring rolls, egg rolls, pastries, cheese cake (my favorite!), snacks, beers, soft drinks and a lot more.
