on Saturday we went around Subang to hunt for a new shower head which Significant Other had managed to vandalize (which occurs pretty often too). before this i bought a replacement at a store in SS2, but the brand was a bit flimsy and didn't last long (despite what the store person had told me). we finally found one at Bunham Bath Shop in Taipan USJ. hmmm. after hunting around for the showerhead i realized that there aren't many bath shops in the area, why is that. unless of course they're there but they seem invisible to the public eye. if not where do people get the materials for the bathroom? =P
we dropped by Subang Parade after that to check out Tumbletots. i came across it after bloghopping (i forgot which blog) so i wanted to check it out for myself to see if the programmes available are suitable for Dayana or not. according to them Tumbletots is designed to develop children's motor skills. by enrolling in the programme your child would be able to develop positive personality traits of self-confidence, social skills and independence, to name a few. so it wouldn't hurt to try it out since there's a trial run for only rm25, and each session lasts 45 minutes. besides, Dayana could do to make a few friends, couldn't she? it's time she hung around people her own age. lol. the programme runs once a week (for Dayana's age group) and the fees are inclusive of 3 months. i might just go for a trial run of the class this weekend before deciding to enroll Dayana or not.
Daddy's Joey
Significant Other wanted to buy sunnies, but apparently the one he liked costs a whopping 1K *pengsan*. even my Oakley costs about rm400 after discount. macam ini if i were a robber the first thing i would curi is their sunglasses. hahaha. imagine 1K worth of merchandise perched on your nose, when your baju is all bought from Bundle saja. hahahhaha (ok i'm kidding. but the idea really tickles my fancy). Dayana fell asleep in my pouch again but in the position that she was in, it looked abit uncomfortable so i changed her from the front carry to cradle carry. unfortunately once i did that she became fully awake *slaps forehead*.
we had dessert at Dessert's Bar in Subang Parade. they gave us a coupon which entitled us to a free dessert, but it's only useable the next time we dine there. and it's only valid for only one week. wth? better la you don't give the coupon in the first place. chis.

Daddy's failed attempt at burping Dayana
i bought another Fruit Of the Earth hand and body lotion at Watson's because the one i had amazingly poofed into thin air, just like Dayana's Drapolene cream did. i don't know if i could believe that things have the ability to disappear into thin air. usually there's always a logical explanation to its disappearance, except for when i think back to the time i lost my brooch which until now i have never managed to recover (as well as for my other jewellery items, sigh). i remember in Harry Potter or some other magical book that once offered an explanation that magic creatures tend to play practical jokes on humans by shrinking items, so humans think that the items have disappeared when they're actually still there where they last left it. hahahaha. anyway, i went snooping in my brother in law's room when he was out and found it there. apparently he had stolen it, gwah. so now i have two.
i also bought frozen peas for Dayana's solids journey =P i hate peas. i pick them out one by one (struggle ok =P). Significant Other bought frozen corn (konon ask me to make corn-in-cup lah) and his favorite, seedless grapes. i did more or less the same thing as i did to make apple puree, with the exception of adding a bit of water to the peas to get a smoother consistency, as well as putting the peas through a seiver to get rid of the skins before giving them to Dayana. i didn't get the opportunity to feed Dayana peas though. but my mom said she gave the disgusted face as usual. i accidentally made alot since i still don't know how to estimate the amount Dayana needs yet (she eats soOoOo little) so i now have two frozen pea-cubes in the freezer.
so on Saturday was supposed to leave for Segamat earlier in the day to attend Significant Other's cousin's nikah that night, and reception was held the next day, but you know how procrastinating can get to you =P. we reached home at 6pm so while Dayana and Significant Other pengsan on the bed, i got everything ready. haiz. we waited for Jo and Dee to arrive before making a move. when they did arrive at our place around 8ish, sempat lagi main Nintendo Wii T_T. Significant Other was a bit put out by his cousin for not personally informing of his mariage, he had to hear it from his aunt at a last minute notice summore. huhu. anyway, by the time we left, it was almost close to 11pm. sent Dayana to Bangi first (because i know it will be a hassle to bring her along, plus he weather might be hot, which was true).
we had supper at Nasi Lemak Ayam Kampung (i'll confirm the name later) in Bangi. not bad la, but it was a bit expensive. and we wanted to order seconds, but they were out =(. i fell asleep immediately after entering the PLUS highway, but i think the rest of them talked crap about life and love stories throughout the journey to Segamat (i know because halfway into the journey i sorta 'woke up', and i vaguley recall a police roadblock at one point, but i drifted back to sleep =P). we reached the hotel at 2.30am+ (i personally think Significant Other was speeding =P). the neo pegasus hotel seemed like a really cheap budget hotel. the room was pretty basic, but neat and tidy. however the room we got had two twin beds instead of one queen sized bed. haiz.
since we woke up at around 9-ish, we missed Noreen's invitation to breakfast so we decided to meet up with Noreen and family in town, at Jackal trading where they were busy purchasing kain (more like borong tak ingat dunia). we bought some kain for the three of us this raya 2009, but i have no idea where to have it tailored. color theme of the year: purple!
about 12ish we proceeded back to the hotel for checkout. there were a huge turnout of relatives, both from the Sabah side and Auntie Kar's side too. after taking numerous of gedik photos, we convoyed to the bride's house in Labis, which was a half hour's drive from where we were at. the weather turned abnormally sunny when we arrived, sungguh panas ok. i was glad i didn't bring Dayana along, i wouldn't know how she would take it, with the hot sun and the many many strange people around her.
the food was good, i wasn't complaining. each of us received a ceramic mug as a keepsake, packaged nicely in pink and purple boxes with matching ribbons (i saw a box in red though but so far i didn't notice anyone getting that). Auntie Oya jokingly said that if all of her family received the mug in the same color, they could end up with a complete set of 6. hahahha. we left at 3pm+ after taking family photos, each of us went our separate ways.
we wanted to go to Umbai in Melaka for seafood. since we didn't know the way, Jo and Significant Other competed to see whose GPS was better (in my opinion, neither seems to be =P and i suck at GPS directions. like they say, pusing pusing and you still end up at where you wanna be. unless there's a ton of Jalan Sehala of course). so there we were, half following the directions given by the GPS, other half following road signboards. while one GPS was busy proclaiming, 'in 2 kilometres, turn right', the other GPS challenged back with a 'please slow down'. hahahha. bowngoks.
we finally reached Umbai at around 7pm+. the sun was about to set and there weren't many people yet. the food was yummy! since we were given the task of ordering, me and Dee hentam ordered lala masak halia, siakap masak tiga rasa, pari bakar chilli, kailan ikan masin and udang goreng tepung. at first i thought the portions were gonna be alot because we had otak-otak for starters, but we managed to clean off our plates. i would've enjoyed it longer if it weren't for those mosquitos doing their ritual dance beside me. haiz. but remarkably we were charged at a reasonable price. i'd definitely go again if it wasn't too far away from home =P. after taking some photos (sudah gelap daa), we made our way back to KL.
initially once we arrived in KL, we wanted to pick up Dayana then only head back to SA, but then Significant Other suggested going for a movie, so we went to Alamanda. however there were no midnights at Alamanda (chis), and the last movie showing was Upin & Ipin at 10.20pm. apa itu? *pengsan*. so i called Abang up to reserve tickets online for Watchmen at the Mines TGV. after picking up our tickets, we had some drinks before the movie. Significant Other ordered ABC without the C (if you know what i mean).
i didn't really enjoy the movie, but it was OK. i was half asleep, half freezing due to the fact that i was sharing half of a jacket with Significant Other, and i didn't really like the story line. Jo slept through the first half of the movie, Dee slept through the second half. lol. the movie was a whopping 2 1/2 hours long too, mau pengsan. since by the time the movie ended it was already wayy too late, we decided to see Dayana in the morning so we headed back home and reached our doorstep at 3.30am.
photos will be posted later after i've downloaded them into my PC. cheers!
