the day we went cycling...

at taman pertanian bukit cahaya seri alam @ bukit cherakah in shah alam. the last time i went there was during my school days - that's many years ago..

since the place is large in area, we skip not few but most of the routes. penat la coz byk bukit. tak larat nak cycle ok.

adam just learning to cycle, so he dare not cycle down the hills. i accompanied him sorong bicycle turun bukit.

the only place we took pics.


oh deer!!!

the rehab... chic + rabbit

parrot cakap jepun.. tak paham langsung..

cute guinea pig nih..

kuda ku lari....

the rest of the places, we just cycled up and down the hills so no pics. the kids had fun and enjoyed, the parent exhausted but happy!!!

lepas ni the boys 'masuk jawi'. bila tu??? tungguuu...

TARA season 3

the boys team from hong kong won the race!!! (they're not singaporean ye. i silap tulis singaporean team lak in my 'finale' post tu. thank you sis shopaholic mama yg correct kan for me).

ok la... congrats man!!

although ida & tania didnt win but it was amazing to see their effort in completing the tasks and they really had fun traveling from one continent to another. congrats for being the top 3.

cool ladies...

takde maknanyer kalau that 'couple' yg menang. tu la.. over-confident lagi...

gali... gali...

finale...

most of my favourite tv series has reached its' season finale. citer apa la i nak tengok lepas nih??

do you know...

yesterday, we went to the kids' school for their report card signing session with the teachers. lucky for me since dear hubby was around, i get to choose adli's class as his was at the ground floor while adam's at the 3rd floor. yes, tak kuasa mak nak menapak tangga tu ye.

adli has done quite well - i'm happy but was told he's one active boy and talkative too in class. "dia ni mmg talkative cikgu. kat rumah pun asik nak bercakappppp je...". the teacher also told me that he was appointed as 'pengawas pusat sumber' for next year. do you know that the school no longer call library as 'perpustakaan'? nowadays, they name it as pusat sumber @ resource centre, where sumber inspirasi, sumber alam and segala sumber can be found there. "so tugas pengawas pusat sumber ni macam librarian la ye" i asked the teacher. "ye.. macam tu la". well, i see there's pro and con for adli. for me, as long as adli happy being with the books - i'm ok but being talkative himself, i hope he can handle the 'quiet please' situation well. oh do you know that as a pengawas pusat sumber, they have their own designated uniforms - a pants and a vest in beige colour (i think..), white long sleeves shirt, a tie and black shoe. the pants, vest and tie are tailor-made so we have to pay the school for that, while the rest, we have to buy elsewhere. our school time mana ada...

as for adam... according to dear hubby, dia maintain jer. maintain apa? maintain macho ke? since the parents were not allowed to bring home the report card so i cant expect how much adam has progressed but was told he has done better than before but weak in physical skills. do you know that physical skills is part of the students' assessment for endurance level? i remembered adam told me about it but i thought it was just part of their sport activity. haa abah. apa lagi. kasik train la adam tu.. u kan fitness specialist. anw, i think it's good to include those activities as part of assessment rather than emphasize on papers only.

i anticipate there'll be more new educational programs in years to come...

007 - QoS review

usually, i do not comment on movies but this one, yes.. i was expecting more but...

generally, there's nothing wow and it was not as good as craig's 1st bond. however, it was full with actions. bond looks stunning as ever, even after all those engagements.

i personally like the part when he was chasing a guy that almost shot M (or was she hit?).

and judi was at her best as M. btw, she looks great at her age and i see her more than any other 007 film i watched. she's cool...

the villian, Greene, was deemed to be ruthless man but nothing like that at all. oh please.. even the plot of his missions/plans was seen less merciless (or maybe that's how i see it).

another beautiful bond girl, camille, only much to his saviour, seeking for revenge, as much as what bond was up to..

IMHO, the film isnt bad at all. just that there are parts a little confusing and make no- or maybe less sense of what bond is doing or looking for... and where's that usual ..."name bond, james bond"...

oh well... everyone knows zero-zero-seven...

saturday day out....

this month, dear hubby is on-and-off work since last week, clearing up his 2006 annual leaves (2007 has yet to be counted ye..), so home alone he is as wifey is at work, while the kids at school. dvds have been his companion while we were out.. layannnn.

it was a good timing too as last saturday was adam and adli's 'bacathon' event at school (note: dear hubby works hard on weekends), so we get to spend with them at school, though we came later after dear hubby sent them early in the morning. the food was not as good as the last time and quite pricey, and what's new was this harley-riding for a coupon of RM5. adam and adli were not interested riding it as they were all into horror thingy.

they went for 'rumah hantu' and 'wayang hantu' and loved those sceaming from the girls. so much with the 'hantu' this year, i saw quite a number of creepy movies showing at cinemas, when we went for 007 movie 'quantum of solace' at sunway pyramid. since i booked for 630pm shows, we shopped and window-shopped till our feet couldnt take the steps anymore. so we went for machine foot massage and it's free. what a feeling!!!

here is adam and adli with madagascar characters at the cinema, after few attempts to stand beside them. i was totally annoyed at the time of taking these pics, by those adults 'yang tak sedar diri terkinja-kinja bagaikan kanak2 riang nak bergambar sampaikan tak bagi peluang the real kanak2 nak bergambar' if you know what i meant... those are idiot!!!
