Those 3 Words

I Love You, Mummy – Niki said that out of the blue yesterday and it came with a hug, too! A gesture so simple yet so profound.

Another pirates post

updated June 4th : I've found the above footage on you tube, enjoy!

Guess what I learnt today, apparently somewhere out there, it was on you tube a couple of days ago, but no longer due to some infringement thingmajig with Disney. But back to what I learnt, apparently there's an extra scene which was cut, it was supposed to be shown when the credits rolled but I guess it did not make it to M'sia. Well apparently the extra footage shows Will coming back to Lizzie and their 10 year old son after ten years at sea, presumably with Calypso's curse broken and hence Will and Lizzie can be together again to live out their lives together. So it's a happily ever after scene for those two. Arrgghh! I'm so frustrated that I did not manage to see that extra scene.

Anyways here's some peeps' conclusion about the extra scene.

DORRETTA:Elizabeth becomes King of the Pirates, and she and Will only get 1 day together every 10 years!

CCC129:Elizabeth and William are together because they have broken the curse

KAREN:If Elizabeth stayed faithful to Will for 10 years, the curse was broken and he was free of the Flying Dutchman and could return to land whenever he wanted. The scene that explains this was one of the final cuts, due to time constraints.

CAROLINE:"I know some here right now are confused on whether or not the curse was broken. But through Ted Elliot and Terry Rossio on their website WordPlayer.com they have confirmed that Will and Elizabeth have broken Calypso's curse and that was revealed with the "end of credits" scene.

Ted Rossio: "You might be able to derive that the curse could be broken from the information in the film, but it would be indeed difficult."

Terry Elliot: "That green flash was what Terry was referring to when he said it was possible, but very difficult, to figure out from the movie that the curse was broken."

In those two quotes they did confirm that the curse was broken with the final green flash at the end of the credits scene.

I guess it goes to confirm that there's a very slim chance for Pirates 4, ain't it.

And here's the movie spoiler for Pirates 3.

A noose hangs delicately in the middle of an English town. Groups of men and women wait in shackles as a soldier reads off their crimes as well as the danger the colonies are currently in. Each of these individuals has been accused of being, or being associated with, pirates, and has been sentenced to death. Due to the nature of these crimes, the English are also currently suspending several rights originally granted to these individuals. One small boy clutches a piece of eight in his hand as he marches up the podium. The little boy begins singing as he stands below the noose because he is too short to be placed inside the noose. The executioner is not sympathetic. He brings over a barrel for the boy to stand on, but it is too late. The other prisoners have begun chanting as well.
On the other side of the world, a well-disguised Elizabeth Swann is singing the same song. As she steps off the small boat, a group of Chinese men threatens her. They tell her that the implications of the song are serious and that she should not be singing it – especially seeing as she is alone. Out of the shadows, Captain Barbossa tells the men that not only is she accompanied, but she is a very capable young woman as well. Stepping inside a bathhouse, Barbossa and Elizabeth are asked to disarm themselves.
Underneath the streets of the city lies the remainder of the crew. Tia Dalma begins playing a tiny music machine to distract the civilians from the drilling under their feet. They will be in charge of things should anything go wrong in the bathhouse. Barbossa tries to ask Captain Sao Feng for a ship and a crew, but the Captain laughs as he tells them of a botched theft earlier that day. It turns out that Will was sent to steal Sao Feng’s priceless map of the world and he was caught. Elizabeth and Barbossa pretend not to recognize Will, but when Sao Feng thrusts a knife dangerously close to Will’s face, Elizabeth lets out a scream. Barbossa tells Sao Feng that they need the boat to save Jack Sparrow and the Black Pearl. Sao Feng makes it clear that he hates Jack Sparrow, but agrees because Jack is one of the nine pirate lords and will be needed at the next meeting of the pirates. He is still upset, however, and angrily tosses a cup of water aside. As he does, he notices that one of his minion’s tattoos is melting. He immediately senses the traitor and decides to use the man as leverage against Barbossa. Barbossa is unmoved and tells Sao Feng that the sailor is not one of his men. As the group looks around to see where the third party is hiding, the British storm in and raid the bathhouse. In the midst of all the chaos, Sao Feng and Will have a little heart to heart. Sao Feng does not trust Will because he has double-crossed both Barbossa and Jack Sparrow, so there is no reason for him to trust Will now. Will tells Sao Feng that he will cooperate because he needs the Black Pearl to free his father and nothing will get in his way.
Sao Feng ends up agreeing and gives Will the ship and the crew. Back in the colonies, all is fairly well. Elizabeth’s father is evidently clueless about the corruption within the government, and the other officials decide that he is simply not worth the trouble anymore. Lord Cutler Beckett, the master planner behind all of this, orders Governor Swann to be taken out to sea.
Will and the crew are faring just as badly. The entire ship has been covered in frost, and many of the men have even frozen to death. Pintel and Ragetti wonder why Tia Dalma could not just bring Jack back the same way she brought Barbossa back. Tia wanders up behind them and tells them that while Barbossa simply died, Jack has been sent to a place “not of death, but of punishment”. Below deck, Elizabeth and Will are having a private conversation. Will has noticed that Elizabeth doesn’t seem to be herself lately, and he is wondering why. She tells him that everything will be better once they rescue Jack, and Will misinterprets her answer. As Barbossa leads the crew deeper and deeper into oblivion, Tia Dalma bends over a pile of magical trinkets and whispers a spell. The crew is frightened and confused because they seem to be utterly lost. Looking at the map Sao Feng provided, Barbossa tells them that the must first be truly lost before they can find what can never be found and reach the ends of the world. The ship is sent tumbling over a steep waterfall and onto an island
Somewhere on this island are the infamous Captain Jack Sparrow and his beloved Black Pearl. His crew is entirely composed of clones of himself. Jack Sparrow has sunk into insanity. He fights with one clone for a half of a peanut, and kills another one for incompetence. After having enough of his own antics, Jack jumps off the ship onto a blindingly white wasteland. Jack spots a rock lying by his foot and picks it up. In frustration, he throws it, only to have an identical one right by his side once again. Jack decides to take this for a sign and picks up the rock. He gives it a hearty lick and throws the rock back out. Instead of landing by his foot again, the rock cracks open and becomes a tiny crab. While Jack lies hopelessly on the sand, thousands of other little rock-crabs split open and begin to carry the ship along. When Jack realizes that his ship is gone, he chases it and rides it all the way to the shore, where Barbossa and company have been shipwrecked and are eagerly awaiting Jack’s arrival.
Because Jack has been stranded in the wasteland for so long, he believes the crew to be a hallucination. He does not believe anyone until he sees Elizabeth, and then he realizes that he was indeed in Davy Jones’ Locker. Tia Dalma cradles the tiny crabs and smiles at Jack, welcoming him back (This is VERY important later on). As the ship passes through the ocean, millions of souls lost at sea float by. Some arrive by boat, and to Elizabeth’s surprise, one of them contains her father. She is overjoyed to see him, only to be told that they have not yet crossed over, so her father has been killed. Elizabeth is angry and vengeful. It doesn’t help that Jack has told the rest of the crew that it was Elizabeth who left him to his death and now Will is very confused. Will had thought for the longest time that Elizabeth was in love with Jack. The fact that she is not should be a relief, but instead Will is worried that Elizabeth does not trust him enough to tell him the truth.
Bored and still a little dazed from his time in Davy Jones’ Locker, Jack Sparrow decides to take a whack at figuring out Sao Feng’s map. Spinning the disks around, he realizes the key to returning to the mortal realm. By distracting the crew, he manages to flip the entire boat upside down. At sundown on the end of the world, there is a blinding green flash and everything falls in the opposite direction. So the crew was suspended in the water for a few minutes before they are pushed to the surface, where Sao Feng is patiently awaiting. He immediately takes Jack hostage and brings him to Lord Beckett. Beckett wants to make a deal with Jack, and he reveals that since he has Davy Jones’ heart, the British have control of the seas. Beckett wants to stop the pirates once and for all and he wants Jack to lead them to the pirate court. Jack demands a his ship and silence to Davy Jones’ about his resurrection in exchange and shakes with Beckett casually just as the ship is attacked. Sao Feng wants to make a deal with Barbossa and Barbossa tricks him into thinking that Elizabeth is Calypso (the goddess of the seas) and Sao Feng decides to make the exchange. Jack returns to the Black Pearl with the others not far behind him.
It isn’t long before Beckett begins to receive a “bread crumb trail” from the Black Pearl leading them to Shipwreck Cove. Will has attached dead bodies to floating barrels and is sending them out to the British. Jack feels that Will is carrying out the entire thing all wrong, and tosses him the compass before sending Will overboard as well. Will holds on to one of the barrels and floats off as Jack walks about his ship.
Sao Feng is trying to treat Elizabeth like the goddess she is, but Elizabeth refuses his advances, preferring instead to listen to him retell the legend. The ship is attacked and Sao Feng is fatally struck. Before dying, Sao Feng gives Elizabeth a token of his respect for her (he still thinks she is Calypso) and asks her to become Captain in his place. Elizabeth emerges from the ship victoriously, but the crew is wary of accepting this foreigner as their captain. Admiral Norrington sees Elizabeth and offers her his quarters instead of the stowage with the rest of her crew, but she decides to prove her loyalty to her crew (and play on Norrington’s guilt), by following them to the ship’s prison. Norrington assures her that he has nothing to do with the Governor’s death, but Elizabeth simply stares angrily at him. She tells him that she knows where her loyalty lies, but he does not.
To clarify, Elizabeth and her crew (formerly Sao Feng’s crew) are now on Davy Jones’ ship, which is controlled by the British because they have his heart. The British also have another ship, but it is not as prominently used. Jack and Barbossa are still on the Black Pearl, and Will is somewhere in the middle of the ocean with a dead soldier. In the prison, Elizabeth meets Bootstrap Bill and talks to him about Will. Bootstrap is suddenly distraught and when Elizabeth asks him why, he tells her that Will can only choose one person: his father or his love. Whomever stabs Davy Jones’ heart will free those imprisoned upon it, but must also give up their true love. The person who replaces Davy Jones must then guide souls to the end of the world for periods of ten years before he can spend one day with his love. He tells Elizabeth to just give up hope on him and tell Will not to bother. Elizabeth tries to convince him otherwise, but Bootstrap has already forgotten their last conversation. He has indeed become a part of the ship and therefore his loyalties are with the ship. In the middle of the night, Norrington sneaks down to the barracks and lets Elizabeth and her crew out. As they are escaping, Bootstrap climbs up to the deck and kills Norrington. As much as she once hated him, Elizabeth is now convinced of Norrington’s innocence and mourns his death.
At this point, Will has arrived on Beckett’s ship and is making a deal with Beckett. He just wants the safety of himself, Elizabeth, and his father. When Davy Jones storms into the room, Will realizes from Jones’ actions that Jones was once in love with Calypso and that is why he hates her so much. Jones believes that Calypso betrayed him.
Jack soon arrives on Shipwreck Cove, which is where the Pirate Lords will congregate. Each of the pirate lords from every corner of the world turns in their pieces of eight, which are actually trinkets they had on themselves during the original meeting. Barbossa’s piece of eight is Ragetti’s wooden eyeball and Jack’s is the charm on his head. Jack hesitates to turn his piece in and Barbossa notices. The current situation demands careful examination, and the pirates decide they need a pirate king. Captain Teague (Jack’s father) is called upon to monitor. Barbossa explains that no one has ever been the pirate king because it is based on popular vote and each pirate lord always votes for him/herself. This time, it is different, as Jack puts in his vote for Elizabeth. Elizabeth tells the pirates that they must fight. Barbossa tries to convince everyone to free Calypso, but for now, the pirate king has the final say.
Currently on the British ship lies Tia Dalma (AKA Calypso). She is playing with her locket and savors the beautiful music before shutting it. Suddenly, the music begins playing again. Calypso looks around the room and sees Davy Jones, tentacles and all. He walks over and they share a passionate conversation. Calypso tells Jones that he used to be a man, and clutches his chest. Davy Jones turns into his mortal form and caresses Calypso’s face. She tells him that once she is freed, the world will know just how angry Calypso can be and they will be together for eternity. She removes her hand and Davy Jones is a monster once again.
Elizabeth, Barbossa and Jack get out of Shipwreck Cove and meet Davy Jones, Lord Beckett, and Will Turner for the showdown. Elizabeth proposes a trade. She only wants Will, so Beckett can have Jack. Jack does not want to go, but is shoved onto the other side. Barbossa seizes the opportunity and cuts of Jack’s charm to add to the collection.
Before the battle, Barbossa decides to release Calypso anyway. They must gather the pieces of eight and say to Calypso in the voice of a lover, “Calypso, I release you from your human bonds.” Barbossa butchers the phrase, but Ragetti gets the nerve to whisper in her ear. Tia Dalma begins growing quickly and frees herself from the ropes. She disintegrates into thousands of tiny crabs (remember from before?) and becomes one with the sea once again. Before long, the clouds have come out and a huge whirlpool has begun. The war is long and difficult, with Jones and Jack having a one-on-one duel for his heart. Will and Elizabeth are married in the midst of the fighting, and soon after, Will is stabbed in the heart by Davy Jones. Before he is, however, Will spares his confused father his life because he promised he would never kill his father, even if he were fighting for the other side. Jack then stabs Davy Jones’ heart, which leaves Will to become the next guardian of the seas. For one final battle, the Black Pearl meets the British ship in the middle of the sea. Beckett thinks Jack is coming to claim the freedom he had asked for earlier. He also believes that it is “good business” to turn on Jack and orders the cannons to be brought out. Jack is thinking the same thing and as they are preparing to fire, Will’s ship emerges from the sea and prepares to attack as well. Beckett is left dumbfounded on his ship, perishing with it and muttering all the while, “It’s good business”.
Will is taken onto the other ship, but before he leaves for ten years, he will be given one day with his true love, Elizabeth. They share many passionate kisses on the shore before Will gives Elizabeth his heart and asks her to keep it safe for him. Elizabeth is in despair, but she knows the price they had to pay. The remainder of the crew returns to life as before, with Barbossa sailing off with the crew and the Black Pearl only to realize that Jack stole his map so they are hopeless without it anyway.
The last shot has Jack on a tiny boat with the map and his compass. He looks at it and it points to the corner. Confused, Jack looks there and finds a bottle of rum. He takes a swig and looks at the compass again, it is now pointing in a different direction. Jack begins to chant the pirates song and the movie ends.
After the credits roll...
TEN YEARS LATER - we see a little boy of about ten years old running through the countryside by the shore, followed shortly by Elizabeth. The pair go to the edge of the cliff and watch the sunset. As the last rays of light touch the horizon, the sun flashes green and starts to rise again. In the distance, a ship can now be seen approaching the shore and onboard, Will Turner looks up at his family and smiles.

Shrek the Third

Hi all, I'm putting this up for my Niki, she's been asking for it so here's the trailer bb, before we go see the movie. I'm tickled, the trailer sure is funny ;-)

The movies

the suspense...

So last week the 3 musketeers (meaning us) went to see Pirates 3! Omg the movie was superb I tell you, if you're not a fan yet, you'll be! It's just that GOOD. Just a word of advice though do like what we did which was to watch the first 2 movies first before watching the 3rd, that way you'll be in the loop about the names, personality, background etc .. and incidents refered to in the past tense won't be lost on you! Once the DVD is out I'm gonna get it! Capt Jack Sparrow rocks, man!

And Niki sat thru her first movie ever in the a real live cineplex as opposed to our home edition. Now we're planning to take her go see Shrek the Third, she's been seeing the posters everywhere and has been asking us to take her.

Our Niki is a movie chick, coolness!

Eeeeeee!

Since Astro installed bloody channel 76 which is E! I’m hooked on it, I watch it like a drone. It’s a stream of endless and mindless TV, but yet so appealing! I’m so wasted, on tv goss I mean! Watch it lah and you'll see what I mean. If you become hooked, do come and chalit me!

Whaddaya know

Pirates 3 is rated U, which means leet Niki can join us at the cineplex. They showed a trailer on the telly last night and I asked her whether she'd like to watch Pirates, she said "no". No has since become quite a favourite word of hers and she uses it really regularly. Anyways even though she said nope we'll still take her. One thing good about being parents and authoritive figures are that we have the pleasure to over rule her objections.

So Niki's gonna watch the movie with us, now we just have to settle for which cineplex, Cineleisure (in far, far away land) or GSC USJ (just 15 mins away). Gonna marathon Pirates 1 and 2 either today or tomorrow.

Bam-bam-para-bam-bam!

Squiggly Lines

I shall call this masterpiece from Niki .. Squiggly Lines.

And she drew it all by herself at McD's a couple of days ago, I'm, guessing my artistic genes went to her? yes?

Growth Spurts and then..

there's our Niki.

She's definitely growing at her own pace,

and we're a tinsy, bit worried, is she growing fine, is her food consumption fine, etc etc ..

being parents is basically the most challenging task we've undertaken so far, to be responsible for the needs of a third person who counts on you for everything. Now that's the real meaning of responsibility.

right now we're winging it, and the same time making sure she has enough vitamins, her supply of calcium, carbs and protein.

Jusr spoke to a girlfriend of mine Karen who's getting on fine with her 5 month old Kaylie. Karen, make sure you call me ok and we shall meet up, and all right ok I'll bring my mischevious munchkin as well.

ok gotta get back to work!

CF

As in Cough & Flu.

Niki and I are down with the flu bug.

We can identify with each other.

And we have to drink loads of liquid, too.

*Acchhooo* *cough* *sputter*

And yet in the office.

At least I am secluded from the rest.

When the time is right

Now that Niki's 2 and a half, there's been a lot (a lot being the root word, here) of queries to whether we would like to have another one, yes we would love to have another one, of course we would, it's just that we feel that it's not the right time yet, however we have been throughly enjoying the means, if you get my drift. The means always fun dontchathink?

So in good time everyone, in good time. And in addition to that, we want to ensure that it's for the right reasons, not just as a companion to Niki, not just as a "not just" if you understand. Until then its the three of us musketeers ~ all for one and one for all.

Sometimes an angel, sometimes not

Niki turned 2 and a half this month. And is officially into her Terrible 2's stage.

Mommy & Daddy would have weather this one out.

And yes as much as we love her we do spank her butt when she's out of line.

And if she's a bit out of line she has a cosy time-out place (we placed a bean bag next to our shoe drawers) for her to sit out her punishment.

For sure we know at least we're on the right track

But then so what if it's the Terrible two's, it only comes once and once its gone we're probably gonna miss it

Everything that she does, says and acts, is a little miracle and her endless supply of hugs, cuddles and affections that she pours to us, she's our source of joy and happiness

So Terrible two's or not we're gonna enjoy every moment of her childhood.

Streamyx is Back

And I am back.

It's been one heck of a week.

Again, it sorta like flew by.

I have done it, something that's been overdue.

I feel super!

The Destiny of Babies Born in the year of the Monkey

My Niki is one of them. Our little munchkin arrived on November 1st, 2004. Had it really been 2.5 years already? Feels like just yesterday.

If your baby is born in the course of the Chinese year which spans the period from January 22, 2004, through February 8, 2005, she will bear the seal of the Wood Monkey: her destiny will be influenced both by her astral sign Monkey and her element Wood.

However, Chinese birth years are not the only factor affecting an individual's destiny. Months, days and hours of birth also have their say. In this article by Master Rao, he explains the main character traits which your baby may show according to her Chinese "week" of birth.

As interesting as all these astral stuffs are, we have to remember that it is by no means a prescriptive forecast.

Master Rao says;
Born between October 24 and November 2, 2004, your baby will tend to be megalomaniac. Will have ideas in advance of her time. With her mind always on the alert, will make a thousand projects, have plenty of friends, travel a lot, and maybe live abroad. Protected health, however with a varicose tendency. Perseverance in work. Distrust towards love, but assured conjugal happiness.

My, my looks like she'll have a bigger complex than I did!

Wonderful

The 3 at Subang Parade

That's how my weekend was.

Friday was the eve of my birthday - the 3 of us went to Cravings and had italian and topped it off simply with a single scoop ice-cream. Vicky liked the ice-cream so much and was shocked to actually learn that it was the ever humble Nestle ice-cream. I bought him a whole tub yesterday for him to gorge, well back to Friday night. After dinner, went home and plopped down for a quiet evening .. watched Because I Said So which finished exactly at midnite! Then Vicky sent me upstairs to hunt for my birthday gift, I looked hi and low but alas couldn't find 'em, went down to whine and there he and Niki was in the darkness of our tv room with my birthday cake! It was so sweet I blew out my 32 candles and we had super delicious chocolate cheese cake, Niki rolled back to sleep not really bothered. So it was only the two of us canoodling into the night.....

Saturday which was my birthday day, we had breakfast at home and then Vicky surprised me with my gift..which was shopping. What else would you give a shopaholic. Got a bunch of clothes, accesories and a champagne colored evening clutch to go with my champagne colored kitten heels. And had lunch Vicky's fave Nando's. Had yummy lemon & garlic and hot peri chicks. Some pics of us at Nando's goofing around, we walked around subang parade for 6.5hours!!! Stopped at all my fave shops inclusive of MPH. Niki passaut 1 hour before we left. Then Vicky took me to my fave Thai Laksa in Tropical Secret before we went home. It was soo very nice, Vicky made sure that it was all about me-me-me, that's my Attan! xoxoxoxo u so so much!

Sunday was Mother's Day, all of us slept in, and I got extra hugs from Vicky and lots of wet kisses from both Vicky and Niki, pre-brush teeth!! Aunty Daphne took us out for brunch at JinMan's Noodle Shop and then Vicky treated me to a pampering mani at Refranc Salon.

brunch at JinMan with Aunty Daphne

That's my weekend, I shopped, I got pampered and I got loved, there's absolutely nothing else I could ever wish for :-)..turns out turning 32 is pretty hawt or shall I say haute!

Klepto

I'm sharing something about myself here on the eve of my 32nd birthday.

Not too proud of it. But everyone have their thing. That I'm sure.

I for one have a penchant for eerrr.. taking reading materials

Yesterday I was at a super secret government office, and while waiting for the meeting to get under way, I took the magazine I was reading with me.

And I realized there and then that I'm such a klepto!

Every month I'll get free mags from Coffee Bean, Starbucks, but then again those mags are FREE right. And by God if I am to pay RM11 for a coffee, I damn well should take whatever I please from their magazine racks.

Mind you, though, I only take reading materials, I'm not a Winona, ok.

So now you know, my dears.

Rainy wednesday

It poured from 4.00am this morning

Raindrops pelted on our windows

It was so warm and nice against the cold outside, and moi snuggled under the covers even more dreading as the time ticked to 7.30am, reluctantly got out of bed and took a nice warm shower

At exactly 8.20am I woke my munchkin by jumping up and down on her bed (teeheehee!), munchkin told me she was sleepy and wants to sleep more, I felt so bad having to wake her.

I wished both of us could've snuggled up and slept more :-(

It's 4.00pm now, and its still cloudy, can't wait to get Niki and get home and see her Daddy.

Aunty Daphne Celebrates her Birthday

Aunty Daphne's Birthday last night

T’was Daphne’s birthday and we threw a leet celebration at our fave Thai restaurant, yup it was V-Café yet again, not sure whether they tire of seeing us like ALL the time there. I had the Tomyum Bah Meehoon and Vicky & Daphne had the Phad Thai, for starters we chose the Seafood Salad (damn yummy, tangy yet spicy and sour all at once, damn potent!) and the catfish, they removed the flesh of the fish and deep fried it till it became like all crunchy and in leet pieces. I seriously do not know how to describe it and you are to eat it together with the mango salad. Delish! I tell ya!

It was soooooo sedap, like mouthwatering sedap, make you feel like having a Thai Laksa now right???? See the pic (the one with poser Vicky in it) isn’t it yummy looking? Trust me it tastes better when you are eating it. Highly recommended by us gluts!

On May 3rd

@ Sao Nam

Earns wz Uncle Malick and check Niki on the bike (they're real - uber cool)

My parents are in town right now from the Labour Day/Wesak weekdays last week.

On Thursday (May 3rd) we went gallivanting all over town and stopped over at Hartamas Shopping Centre where we met up with Simon Loong and his wife Nancy of Frames Network and over there took in the Reflections Photo-Exhibition by Eric Peris.

Eric Peris is a superb photgrapher, the photos were brilliant, and Vicky especially liked the shades of green leaves one which was already sold. Simon then took us for lunch at Sao Nam in the Hartamas Shopping Centre. Sao Nam is a Vietnamese restaurant and I’ve eaten Vietnamese before and didn’t like it but this was a good experience. The food there was excellent.

The we hopped over to Earns, a learning centre in Bandar Manjalara where Simon introduced Niki to Uncle Malick (whom she took an immediate liking to), who’s also the principle & the big man on campus. Uncle Malick took her on the leet bikes they have there which is a real bike. I’m jackoon that way lar, how la would I know those stuff are not toys.

Anyway Niki thoroughly enjoyed herself as did her parents and grandparents; it was a very nice afternoon filled with good company, good conversation and good food! Bring the weekend on!

A Spidey post

So me & Vicky headed over to 1U on Labour's Day and caught Spider-man 3, the movie was so romantic I tell you, I'm talking about the scene between Peter Parker and Harry Osbourne not the one between Peter and MJ. The scene was such a tear-jerker -- alright, the movie was good, really good and I found myself wishing it not to be over so soon. The storyline was tight I liked it a whole lot. For those whose itchin' to find out what the heck happened go here *spoiler alert!!*

http://www.themoviespoiler.com/Spoilers/spiderman3.html

I've actually exited the page when this came into my mind

"time's fun when you are having flies"

Back to the office

Got back to the office just today, the past few family days has been so utterly wonderful. Can't get enough of it, ah well the weekend IS around the corner. After gallavanting all over town yesterday, Niki went home and napped for like 3 hours, woke up only at 7pm, in time for dinner. Took my parents to V-Cafe and had a wonderful meal of tomyum kung, kangkung belacan, deep fried tilapia in thai sauce, mixed vege with their famous pineapple fried rice. Too full, went home and slept.
