Bosco Wong Chung Chak, one of the famous Hong Kong TVB artists. For those people who don’t know who is Bosco Wong, and then you can visit this website.

Today is my first time saw him stand in front of me, less than 10 feet distance. He has been invited by one of the HK Chinese style restaurant to do promo of the restaurant. At the meant time, he also do TV programme for one of the local TV station.

Location, in one of the branch located in KL area. Time, after 11pm, because have to make clearance and do cleaning of the location. I was happy that I can see him in front of me, because he is one of my favourite artists. He is handsome and cute, just look at the picture I took, you will agree what I said.

I was sitting inside the working area, and I noticed there are getting lot of peoples standing outside the shop and is right behind me, I believe they all are his supporter.

The job was done at around 1am. Everyone looks tired, I believed the most tired is Bosco Wong, because artist will have their own tight schedule when they are on trip.

Salute to them.

Sad Anniversary

18th December, today is the one year anniversary of my dad passed away. Things like happen very fast, father already away from us one year. During his absence, we live like normal, we still do celebration of everyone, we still get together every weekend, we still go out together, this is because we know that that’s father ambition, he want the family remain the same with him absence, he want us to live like normal, can not let the house break.

Thinking back what had happen in the pass year, really nothing much changing, that’s one, we no longer can smell the cake from the oven. My father bake cakes and sell it to distributor (mainly are those Indian motorcyclists that sell breads and other snack), consider very famous in my housing area. Usually every morning, is the time that the cakes just taken out from the oven, is hot and smell good. I remember last time schooling time, my classmate ask me why there is some cake smell from your body? I smile back and answered because my house is a cake factory and its bake by my father.

We totally stop the business after he passed away, mainly is because not enough people to run the business, it’s a very difficult job. I remember, my dad everyday woke up at 4am plus to do work, rest on the noon then continue until 3pm, rest again, then sending out the cakes to shops in KL areas. That was his middle age time, recently 10 years ago, due to his old age, he woke at slightly later, work as usual except no more sending out the cakes to KL shops, is out of his ability. See, how difficult to run a business by his own self, everything also have to do it by himself. I really proud of you.

For the first year, we did not do any ceremony. All of us like usual, go to work, go to market, everyone doing their own thing. We will make your ambition come true, live happily.

Christmas Presents

Today Carmen receives some Christmas presents from my brother and sisters. She is very happy, she was busy inside my elder mother bedroom, because they all giving out the presents there. She starts talking baby language + Mandarin + English + Cantonese which make our head full of question marks.

Let me see what she got, she have 1 teddy bear, 1 small deer, and 1 big tummy Santa Claus. She holds up the Santa Claus and said ‘Jer Jer gives’, Jer Jer is Mandarin word means sister. Holding up the bear said ‘Gu Jer give’, Gu Jer is Cantonese word means Aunty (is my elder sister). Which mean she can differentiate the gift is from whom.

Everyone loves to play with her, children at this stage are very nice to play with, agree? When she’s playing inside the room, that’s the time for me to rest. But time won’t last long, half and hour later, she show me her presents happily. Children are very easy satisfied. Ok, is late, is bathing time. Carmen, say Good night to everyone.

1st Concert

Genting Concert

A concert that held in Genting Arena of Star on 7th and 8th of December. 3 of us and 4 of my friends went up there in 2 cars, start journey at 4pm. Our planned schedule was all gather in front of my office at 4pm, have early dinner on the way to there, continue journey to our destination, show start at 8pm, coffee after the show then back home.

Carmen starts sleeping from office to the 1st destination. We reached our first destination (early dinner) but the shop have not start business yet, so plan change, we decided to have fast food, we choose Burger King, because the shop is located on the way to Genting. Normally Carmen can sleep for 2-4 hours on the afternoon, maybe is because inside the car, she woke up when we reached burger king. We all ate burger and she ate chicken bites and fries.

After filling everyone stomach, we continue our journey. Genting is located in top of the mountain, so we have drive up hill. On the way up hill, I think Carmen feel not comfortable, keep pressing her ear (maybe pressure) and start making noise. As everyone in Malaysia know the way to Genting is up hill, downhill and suddenly make narrow turning. So mummy have to carry her, keep telling her it’s ok, very fast reach there, after a while, Carmen fall into sleep again.

After 45 minutes car journey, we reached there, park our car inside the car park (very difficult to find a parking lot on weekend). Since she still sleeps so have to bring down the stroller. The weather there is windy and slightly cold. Carmen wears a jacket with many strawberries on it, cute. Now we have to collect the ticket on the counter in front the entrance. 6 person 6 tickets, everyone holding their own ticket and get ready to make the move to the show room and mummy got blocked, we was told that children under 3 and infants in arm are not allow to enter.  If want to bring Carmen in then have to buy the cheapest ticket which is RM50.00 (10% discount for Genting World Card Holder). What to do, already reach there then have to buy another ticket for her have ticket but does not have a seat for her. That’s my mistake, I didn’t read carefully on the website.

Let me explain briefly about the show, this show is 1 of the famous TV show programme in Hong Kong for the past 10 years. They invite artists to their programme to play games and win money and prizes. Their prizes are very attractive, got diamond, travel voucher, shoe voucher, free fitness fees, and etc. What I can said is, they got very good sponsor. Click here for the programme from YouTube.

They invited 8 artists from Hong Kong and 2 artists from Malaysia to play the game. Split into 2 teams and start challenge. The show schedule for 2 1/2 hours, so not all the games they played in Hong Kong will play here, they select few game (which is famous) to play here.  That night events are as below

  1. Each team send out 1 contestant, use mouth to suck the table tennis ball (the ball is put on top of an air blow machine, so that the ball stays on the air). They did invite some audience to play the game as well.
  2. Game time, rolling, not 1 person but 2 or 3 or 4 persons roll together on the floor. The more people involve the more difficult to roll and the more laughing sound you can hear.
  3. Performance time, singing plus perform magic.
  4. Game time, grab the bread using cheek, 2 person game. They put the bread inside the toast machine and press the eject button to make the bread jump up in between 2 players and they have to using their cheek to grab it, like sandwiches or burger is the better word?
  5. Again is performance time, singing like the original singer, must act like the original singer, voice and dancing as well. This part really enjoyable, almost 90% of people also can’t stop laughing, this part really good.
  6. Singing time.
  7. Final game, team event. Each team send out 1 player to guess the number, the number is between 1 to 100. Is not guessing the right number but not to guess it right, because if you got it right then the balloon on top of your head will burst and your the other player face will become creamy face. Why? Cause the opponent side will send out the players holding a plate of cream and throw to the other opponent face or body once they win the game, cruel?
  8. Last event is singing time and donation time.

Not bad, the show is very entertaining; at least I can see everyone face also smiling. Our final planned schedule, coffee time cancelled, because Carmen too tired, and sleep. I cancelled my plan but I don’t know about my friends, maybe they continue the plan.

On the way back really difficult to drive cause of the wind and the rain. Suppose to be 45mins journey and ended up to 1hr 30mins, phew, double of the time. Reached home around 1am plus, really sleepy. Mummy back home still change Carmen diapers so that she can sleep more comfortable (no leaking on the bed). That’s the 1st concert for 3 of us. Hope there will be more and more concert for 3 of us in future.

Sick day

Morning woke up and noticed Carmen a bit hot, but thought is her body temperature, because a person just wake up sure whole body feel warm. On the way to nanny house, she want to eat ‘Char Siu Bao’ (Chinese bun with pork meat inside). I stop a side and bought 2 buns, one for her and the other one for her best mate (another small boy which 5 months older than her in nanny house). As usual, i dropped her to nanny house and go to office, the journey from nanny house to my office take approx. 5 minutes, near right? And is very convenient.

At 11am plus, my phone rang, and the screen show nanny, one thing come into my mind was, must be something bad, is it Carmen sick? Yup, nanny told me she got fever and just gave her fever syrup and need to monitor for a couple of hours, see whether the temperature got decrease or not, if not have to bring her hospital. Why hospital? Because i have a very bad experience in clinic, remember last round Carmen fever, i brought her to clinic and ate their medicine for 1-2 days and the fever still there, then i brought her to another clinic and ate their medicine for 1-2 days, the result are still the same, still fever. That time i decided to bring her to hospital emergency ward, they suck some medicine to her backside and wrap her with water to cool down her body temperature. The next day her fever drop, she’s getting active and more active.

5:30pm, after office hour, i flied back to buy her some Chinese herbs. Chinese herbs effect is slow but good for her body. Nanny told me she’s ok at the moment, but to be save, bring back the fever syrup and continue another round at 8:30pm, then 2 hours later only give her milk mix with Chinese herbs. On the way back home, she talk a lot, start counting one-two-three-four-five-six, so far she can count until six.

After having the fever syrup, she is like normal, watching musical DVD. Looks like her fever is gone, but have to monitor until next day, that’s what a parent have to do to their children. Fever, please go away. Carmen, sweet dream.
