Kid at 21st Century

Back to last time, playing with kids is stress free and fun!!

They are cute and adorable.

Today, it is so much different. Kids speak very well and likes to ask any sorts of questions. Being someone wiser than a kid, we have to answer them with appropriate answers. We can't cheat them or else next time, they will use the same words to shoot us back and the adults will go "errrr..." *mind blank*. In fact, it is stressful if we are not smart to tackle their questions well.

If you come to know any child like that, you get what I mean. Sometimes, I even go -___-''' (huh?? how to answer? If I answer, you don't understand) then eventually everyone will say, "When you are older you will understand"

Now let me show you this handsome boy


A 7-year-old boy named Jasper whom is energetic and full with young spirit.

Quote you part of our conversation :-

****

Jasper : Jiejie, where's you boyfriend?

Me : Jiejie, no boyfriend...

Jasper : Jiejie, liar!! So big already no boyfriend.

Me : What about you? You have girlfriend in school...? *tickles him*

Jasper : *laugh*... no girlfriend. Daddy say big already then only can have one. So jiejie so big already also have one.

Me : Jiejie, don't have one yet. Why don't you become my boyfriend?

Jasper : aaaahhhh!! I don't wantttt!!!

Me : Why don't want? Jiejie bring you go eat KFC worrrrr... and bring you go walk walk...

Jasper : *keep laughing* don't want!! don't want!!

(An uncle beside us keep laughing and smiling)

Jasper : Uncle, jiejie said become my girlfriend...cannot right???!!!

Uncle : Can...jiejie bring you go KK...eat KFC, so delicious, you don't want??!

Jasper : eeeeeeee......don't want!!!

(The convo continued for the night as he was trying to ask everyone disapproval of me being his girlfriend. Funny boy! Running here and there...laugh non-stop)

*****

The next day was Easter Sunday. We went to church for celebration and coincidently, again Jasper sat beside me. Wahhh, Jasper so happy to see me...Suddenly, he came to sit on my leg.
(Like known me for long time already)

However, his little brother whom doesn't speak much, jealous of his brother sitting on my leg. What he did is, he pushed his brother away and sat on my legs quickly. Subsequently, both brothers started to fight. Luckily their father was just a length arm beside me, trying to stop them.

*****

Dad : Jasper, you sit here, beside jiejie okay?

Jasper : No, I don't want! I sit on jiejie's leg first but he pushed (pointing at the brother) me away.

Dad : You are big already, if you sit on jiejie's leg people will laugh at you.

Jasper : Yeeerrr...daddddyyyyy...I sit first worrr....how can?! *grumpy face*

(Standing with hands cross)

Jasper : .....Jiejie...

Me : Yes?

Jasper : You still remember what did you say last night?

Me : ...ermm...what did I say?

Jasper : You said you ask me to become your boyfriend right?

Me : oowwhh...ya, but you said you don't want.

Jasper : Now I want. Okay?

Me : Why?

Jasper : So that I can sit on your legs. *small laugh*

Me : No, I don't want already.

Jasper : I WANT!! I WANT!!! I WANT TO BECOME YOUR BOYFRIEND! jiejie please?


*****

You see....hilarious right? He remembered what I said last night. Now in return, he bargained with me, opting for a WIN WIN situation... *sweattttttt*

.shake my head and smiles.

Seafood & Homecoming - Day 4

Continued post after Day 1 and Day 3.

There are quite a number of Seafood restaurants scattered around the island. I was brought to New Sung Hwa restaurant in Labuan town area, above the Fisherman's Lounge. This restaurant is best known among the tourists and again ... Labuan-ian rated as the best seafood restaurant in town.

You tried snails before?


Snails

You need a toothpick to dig out the snail meat

Only came to remember when the snails were served, I forgot to take pictures of the previous dishes. Nothing special on the dishes like usual fried fish, deer meat, fried crab, to fu and vegetable...so 6 dishes in all costs RM 135. Would you say it is cheap? I have no idea. But Labuan-ian says it is cheaper compare to KK city. It could be true, where by KK has 5% government charges out of the total bill... or if you compare with Portview, Ocean Seafood Restaurants, then yes it is expensive.


Labuan island by night (Raining)

The town itself is beautiful. Their street lights not just a long standing poll, with a bulb on the top part. The body of the standing poll has its' craved shape and design. The grey pathway are well taken care with the alley built of red bricks.

It was raining cats and dogs on Monday night. Due to the geographical area, there's no sign of downpour in the next hour such as clouds turn dark nor big wind blow, it just came all in a sudden "SPLASH"....!!! As if someone from the above level pouring water down to the ground. All the way it went non-stop for several hours.

I have the strong feeling of going home when I was there. Wished I could arrive KK as soon as possible after ticket was bought.

Fare = RM 36, Port fee RM = 3 Total : RM 39 for first class

The port is nicely build because it's also an international port. Brunei-ians also enter Labuan by express ferry. Just as you stepped out the ferry, the duty free shop is luring you. In order to purchase cheap products, I think it would be Monegain shop. I reckon the duty free shops along the port area might costs a little than those farther ones because humans tend to do last minute shopping yet also due to convenient sake.


Departure Hall

Arrival hall

During my trip back to KK, there were a few tourists in the same fleet with me. I can't distinguish their appearance of where are they from, but caught slightly of their language (too much of watching Mexican drama) , they seemed to be from South America and some British. Walking down town, I heard many people speaking an uncommon language, might be Tagalog, according to their skin colour and dressing, people from the Philippines searching for bread and butter in Labuan.

The one and only entertainment for the long haul journey is TV. You have no choice to watch what you desire...but watch what is on screen. Pity, they showed OUTDATED movies... like dead silence...


Boxing on-screen

You are advised to bring a warm clothing because the air condition is centralized and it's cold. Slowly, I started to keep on fidgeting as I could not drowse to sleep. Just when I was at the edge to turn hysterical, I looked out the window...

Felt happy... KOTA KINABALU WELCOMES YOU

YAYYYY!! I'm back!!

.It's going to rain soon.

Hairy moisturizer

Moisturizers

It feel so nice to touch your own skin when it is soft and smooth. I started to apply moisturizer when I found my leg skin to be dried, look like the fish scale. I tried to apply regularly but sometimes I do fail because of my laziness and forgetful mind.

To make your life easier, moisturizers now come in a handy packaging where you can bring with you wherever you go, just nice to fit into your handbag. So, I started to bring it with me when I was in college. When my lecturers were doing their job, I simply applied on my leg. My skin type is dry especially my leg, what more when you spend most of the hours a day in an air-condition room.


Left : Nivea - Intensive Milk for Dry Skin
Right : Johnson's baby Lotion

I got this Nivea moisturizer from somewhere...freebies. Oohh, I remembered during the Nivea Roadshow in Taylor's College, they were giving out this moisturizers to the students. My friend told me, this moisturizer really moisturize your skin. Just apply once and it will last for 24 hours. WOW!! Previously, those moisturizers that I used before can't last long, at least have to apply twice a day. And so, with this moisturizer, it makes my life easier much much more!

Little did I know, it is so super duper moisturize that it gives another result...Don't Laugh okay?! It actually makes your hairs grow longer and more on your legs and hands! GGAHHH!!! I'm not kidding. After a few weeks of usage, when I really take notice ( I usually applied without looking) at my leg,

AAHHH!! SO MANY HAIRS AND THEY ARE LONGGGG!!! In my whole life, my legs and hands doesn't have so many hairs and the hairs are just invisible yet short. But now.....uugghhh...to me, it looks really really bad!!!...but my friend said just normal.(Maybe I get use to seeing my legs and hands before)

I saw one of my course mate that used to pluck hairs off her hands and arms during lectures.
( You would know how boring it is until our hands are so reckless during lectures!! If you are student, you understand...lectures are boring. Hehehe!!! ) She told me her hairs started to grow when she applied a very moisturized moisturizer, don't know which brand already. (I was thinking, "Huh?? Got such thing mehh??" It actually happens to certain people only not all but unfortunately, it happened to me)

We didn't go deeply into the topic and she continued her plucking process. ( She told me not pain at all, get used to it. I went OOUucchhh!!! when I saw her plucking ) She also saw my Nivea moisturizer that I was using and if I remembered, she did warn me of the moisturize level, I might get hairs growing longer and more =( Thought it wouldn't bring such effect on me because my legs are really dryyy...

So be more aware to choose any moisturizers or lotions in the market, if you don't want the same case happen on you!

**Embarrassed to show my hairy leg, no pictures taken**


.Nivea moisturizer anyone??.

Labuan - Day 1

Yeahhh!! I am finally back to HOME SWEET HOME!! I was only away for 4 days 3 nights, I've already missed KK so badly. huhuhu... (",)

I took the first class seat of Labuan Express Ferry from Jesselton Point, KK.


Above: Labuan Express Ferry
Left: First class on-going seats
Right: First Class homecoming seats


I don't know why the seats are so much different as both are rated as the first class seats. I felt more comfortable with homecoming seats as there are new. Maybe because one is an older ferry another one is new. It was to believe that the non-stop journey takes about 3 hours but heck, it took me
3 hours and 20 minutes to arrive Labuan!!! I was so not in the mood~~ But the journey back to KK took only 2 hours and 55 minutes...arrgghh!! Ferry speed problem for sure.

Where is Labuan?


Look so near but yet so far

Labuan is a very small island which you could travel in one day. Famous of the shipwreck diving, known as the Pearl of South China Sea and heaven to alcoholics, chocolate lovers and hardcore smokers because it is one of the duty free island in Malaysia.

If none of the above is you (unless you love a little history), then you would find Labuan to be an unwanted place to go. Frankly speaking, there is no delicious food in Labuan, all are the same, I assure you.


I had drumstick chicken rice with ice lemon tea. KONON...best chicken rice in town, I tasted like normal or should I say, KK chicken rice is much better. hehehe!! Order the breast part better, less bone because my drumstick a lot of bones, can't enjoy the meat much.

Labuan is under the Federal Territory Government. You can expect the town to be beautifully landscape, clean and properly structure. I was made to understand that the landscaping project costs around RM 5 million *breathe in, breathe out*
