Pineapples in my backyard

I planted these pineapples in my backyard almost a year ago.
These are totally organic, I never bother to take care of them, not even watering.  Pineapples are seriously easy to grow..haha

Pineapple #1

Pineapple #2
 Finally, I can taste my own grown pineapples soon!

Jonker Street, Melaka

This night market only operates on Friday, Saturday and Sunday evening.
 
Main entrance from opposite Studhuys's side 


The entrance from the other end

Keychains and souvenirs
 
The food.. nyummy..
 



The thing that I like most about this place is that it is a None Smoking Zone.
Here I can enjoy the pub and bistro without any disturbance from the smoke ;o

Puri Hotel, Melaka

Don't judge this hotel by its outer look :)

Dari luar nampak biasa-biasa jer, tapi dalam nya cantik dan luas.

The lobby area
Dining - Yummy kuih Melaka
The beautiful garden

 This is a boutique hotel; location just behind Jonker Street.

It's a 3 storey, 5 rows building with 82 rooms.
Our twin sharing room
 Pro: rooms are clean; beautiful garden area; great location.

Con: no elevator; hot water is extremely hot, might be dangerous for young kids to take bath on their own; issue with room access card; my room 220 has no fringe.

Best school

A conversation between me, Eugene and Emmett.

Eugene: 'Mummy, best bah sekolah abang. Pandai bah Mummy pilih.  Thank you, Mummy.'
Mummy: 'Best ka? Apa yang best?'
Eugene: 'Best, sebab di sekolah kami ada doktor gigi.'
Mummy: 'ooo, apa lagi yang best?'
Eugene: 'Cikgu pun best, garang, dia akan marah budak-budak yang nakal.'
Mummy: 'Elok la macam tu.  Semua best, ada yang tak best tak?'
Eugene: 'Toilet saja tak best, kadang-kadang ada orang tak flush toilet.'
Emmett: 'Mummy, tadika Memet pun best geh.  Thank you, Mummy.'
Eugene: 'You're welcome, sayang.'

*so happy we make the right choice*

Emmett in K1

Emmett is doing quite well in Maths subject.  

This was his homework last night, he did it on his own without any assistance.

However, he still have some problem in spelling.  He can spell 1 syllabus like 'ba', but when asked how to spell 'baba', he will be lost.  

I must admit that I don't really read to him, sometimes I even let his brother Eugene do the reading withhim while I do the house chores.  Yes, I am guilty as charged :(
Will try to spend more time with him on his study.

Budak 5 tahun maut makan hidangan pasar malam

KUALA TERENGGANU - Seorang kanak-kanak lelaki berusia lima tahun meninggal dunia hari ini akibat keracunan makanan dipercayai selepas memakan lauk yang dibeli dari sebuah pasar malam di sini, Sabtu lepas.

Muhammad Iqbal Rafie Mohd Ilme, meninggal dunia kira-kira 1 petang tadi ketika dalam perjalanan untuk menerima rawatan lanjut di Hospital Sultanah Nur Zahirah (HSNZ) di sini.

Ibunya Siti Zuriana Mohd Yusoff, 28, berkata anak tunggalnya itu ke pasar malam itu bersama-sama suaminya pada kira-kira 6.30 petang dan membeli ayam goreng, nasi goreng dan air keladi.

Beliau berkata hanya suaminya Mohd Ilme Mat Adam, 31, dan anaknya yang menjamah makanan itu sebaik mereka tiba di rumah mereka di Bukit Payung Marang.

"Kira-kira 7 pagi semalam, mereka mengadu sakit perut dan cirit-birit sebelum mendapatkan rawatan di Klinik Kesihatan Bukit Payong.  

"Sehingga pagi tadi, keadaan anak dan suami masih serupa dan kami sekali lagi ke klinik kesihatan sama untuk rawatan," katanya kepada pemberita ketika ditemui di bilik mayat HSNZ di sini.

Sebaik tiba di pusat kesihatan itu, keadaan anaknya semakin lemah dan terpaksa menerima bantuan pernafasan sebelum dikejarkan ke HSNZ untuk rawatan lanjut.

Siti Zuriana berkata semasa dalam perjalanan ke HSNZ, beliau menyedari nadi anaknya tiada manakala suaminya yang bertugas sebagai tentera di Kem Padang Midin masih lemah.

"Sebelum ini, Muhammad Iqbal cergas dan aktif serta tidak menghidapi sebarang penyakit," katanya.
