Family 
My GRAND LIVINA!!
No lar, that’s not mine… WHERE is mine??!! SIGH…For quite sometime, both Tecky and I were keeping our eyes wide trying to spot one on the road… But since it’s launch in December, we haven’t seen any, until 2 days ago… The photo above is taken by me while stopping at a T-junction… Excited mar, see the car on the road for the first time… hahaha…
Anyway, I saw another one today on the way to work, in the exact color we requested for… I so can’t wait to get it, but looking at the current situation, I definitely doubt we will be driving that for CNY… 
Anyhow, because it takes like forever to arrive, Toyota came out with a new 7 seater called Rush… Itchy eye Tecky requested to go take a peek yesterday, so we did, in the showroom in Subang… Price wise, well, Livina top range is around 95k and Rush top range is at 94k, so not much difference… Look wise, well, both different, but I do have to admit Rush got a good exterior… The dashboard, Rush looks VERY cheap, but then again, I don’t remember how Livina’s look like… Anyway, the one thing about Rush for me which beats Livina FLAT is the 2nd row seat which can be folded up to allow easier access into the 3rd row, unlike Livina where you’ll have to ‘squeeze’ in and out… We did thought about if we liked Rush more, we could forgo the Livina’s booking fee (WTF right) but then decision is made, we are sticking to Nissan… haha… 1.8L vs 1.5L wei… And Rush is actually the exact same car, body (except a little longer I was told by the salesman yesterday) and engine is actually the same as Avanza, which Tecky suspect would be of more bumpy ride, since it’s from a pickup…
So dear dear Nissan, WHERE IS MY CAR???
I wonder if vacation car hires would have a Livina? Next time you go on vacation, you should look into hiring a car hire UK company. With an UK car hire service, a car hire service in Munich, or a car hire Heathrow service, you will be able find the best car to help you really have an awesome time on your trip. Check and see if there is Livina for me yeah (hahaha)…

Monthly Summary (Rachel) 
WEIGHT : 11.5 kg
HEIGHT : 82 cm
Doesn’t the jumper makes her look like a big girl?
Well, it’s actually a sneak preview of her CNY clothes… My mum bought this, and we thought it was a little too big, so had to test it… Obviously, from the look on her face, she’s happy with it, posing and jumping around…
If every month I complain about her showing more of the Terrible Two syndrome, this month is worse… She’s such a koala bear, insisting to be carried only by certain people (normally me) and cry at every scenario where her wishes were not met… I hope (like how I do the rest of the months) that this is the limit, because spending the weekend with her really does drive me up the wall… I’ve started the shouting at her to make her listen, whacking her hand so hard that the red mark stays for quite a while…
Despite everything said, when she’s adorable, you just can’t help wanting to hug and squeeze her tight… Like when she’s not in her bad moods, she’ll actually act cute and say PLEASEEE in a VERY begging manner, scrunching her face until you say OK, and then she’ll just grin and smile… Or when she wants to eat or take something, and just stare at me nodding her head, waiting for approval, and that sweet smile she give me when I nod approvingly, melts the heart… So yes, she can be a pain in the ass, but she’s such a joy to be around… KIDS!!!
- Teeth
She has 8 on her top jaw, and 7 on the bottom…
Her bottom left cuspid can’t seem to find the tip of her gum…
- Vocab
- Picking up very fast, but always misses the sounds of her ‘F’,'S’,'W’ (the few VERY obvious ones)…
- Started making more sentences, and always testing her sounds, like she’ll say something and then clearly shows the sign of her listening to herself before she speaks again… She also likes to say what she see, like asking for an affirmation of her knowledge…
- Missing out all her ‘FOR’ all the time… End up sounding so weird… Like when she wants to put on Tecky’s socks for him, she’ll say “CHEL WHERE SOX DADDY”…
- She loves playing on the computer… Even imitates us moving the mouse around, and then looking at the monitor and making typing noises on the keyboard before she move the mouse again… At times, when she accidentally press something and a pop up box appears (like when she click on the start button shortcut key, or the right click menu), she’ll say OH-UHHH and then press the ESC button until it disappears and then grin at us…
- She has also develop this habit of lazing around in bed… When she wakes up in the morning, when she watched Barney… And yes, she got this from the FATHER! hahaha…
- She’s a CONFIRM vain pot… The other day she scratched her nose and there were 2 very dark scratched marks on the nose, and when she saw it on the mirror, she stared at it for very long, and then kept touching it, and told me “MUMMY WIPE WIPE PEASEEE”… When I told her it is a scratch mark and it will go off in a few days, she kept pressing them and trying to get rid of them… She’s even extremely afraid of dirt, like when her hands are dirty, it’s always “WHASS HAND PEASEEE”…
- She learnt to say THANK YOU this month too… Always thanking whoever that does something for her, or give her something, and ending the thank you by addressing the person… Like when I give her some food and she insisted on holding the food herself and I gave in, she’ll just casually take the food and say “THANK YOU MUMMY” while walking away…
- Trying VERY HARD to feed herself…
- Acts as my discipliner… Reminding me things that I told her not to do… Like if I was holding my hair clip between my lips while I pull my hair together, she’ll stare at me and then shout “MUMMY. NO PEASSEE. NO PEASEE”, until I take the clip off my lips…
- Going against requests on purpose this month too…
If Tecky would to ask for a hug, she’ll hug EVERYONE around her except Tecky, ven hugging the bag or her soft toy, and saying it out loud on purpose, just to challenge Tecky… Same goes to if I would to ask for a kiss, she’ll even kiss the pole on the stairs and Tecky, but not me… Until I said fine, I don’t want the kiss anymore, which she would then shout and say “CHEL KISS MUMMY”…

Photography,
Wedding Date : 06 January 2008
Venue : Shah Alam
I know, VERY backdated… I couldn’t find time to edit the photos… *slap forehead*
Well, the photography experience that day was definitely something different… Because they hired professional photographers (2) and videographer (1) and friends wise, we have 3 SLRs, so there were too many cameras around… It also made me realise that I really snap by emotion, and because the day did not start well (story later) and I was a little chaotic throughout… All this results in chaotic photos at first, as as it goes, quality got worse because I lost all the mood to snap… At the same time, I didn’t dare let my flash go off, and I kept having to ensure that I’m not in the way of the professional photographers… SERIOUSLY, they are paid to be there, so I shouldn’t be disturbing their work… So I tend to move myself away from what they want to snap, which obviously are the newlyweds, and only snap when they put their cameras down… I must admit, I didn’t quite like what I see at all, and if the choosing of photos were difficult the last time because there were too many, this time around, it’s because I can’t find things I like… Worse of all, I couldn’t find any decent photos of JUST the newlyweds which I can post as the starting photo… Oh, we saw the photos by the prof during dinner that night, and well, needless to say, spectacular…
Anyway, we were late that day, because Tecky told me we can reach at 8:30am, but actually, the plan was to leave the groom’s house at 8am! Imagine, like star only, that even the groom had to wait for us… SO EMBARRASSING!!! Lucky thing we didn’t cause any delay in auspicious time, but in fact after everything was done, we were too early, so had to turn big rounds to get back…
I like GoldHeart’s wedding bands… VERY nice…
Yeah, ours from GoldHeart too… 
Everyone was complaining about having to wear whitish base shirt and blue tie, but looking at the photos, Tecky admitted that it looked nice… Even the HengTai (brother)’s car had nice BIG decorative instead of just simple ribbons tied to the radio antenna… hehehe… Read more…
