Target for Comex 2009: Getting a new GPS system
After losing our way from Jusco Tebrau City to Restaurant Todak (which should not take more than 20 minutes if Google Maps is showing the right driving directions)for more than 2 hours (we would have driven up to KL again if we do not exit fast enough), Mummy has suggested Daddy to get a new GPS and pay from the joint account. We have a TI** GPS and it fails us so many times especially the recent trip to KL. Advice: Don't be tempted to get a cheap GPS(ours is not cheap leh!!) which does not allow you to download the latest maps (maybe should say "more recent" maps).
Note: Don't try to get directions from a roadside fruits seller (that was a Cempedak fruits seller and Grandma was asking why we did not buy any home!!??) as most of the time they don't speak English.

Kidz Amaze @ Safra Jurong
1st Excursion ... The seat belt is simply not suitable for kids like me ...
You won't miss it if you were to enter by the main entrance
3-storey vertical playground for kids ...
What will happen when I press the button??
A small section for younger toddlers ... Really small as compared to Figets @ Turf City ... Mummy thinks Fidgets is more value for money

A Reflection for Father's Day??
Mum came across this song by chance - Cat's in the Cradle by Harry Chapin
My child arrived just the other day
He came to the world in the usual way
But there were planes to catch and bills to pay
He learned to walk while I was away
And he was talkin' 'fore I knew it, and as he grew
He'd say "I'm gonna be like you dad
You know I'm gonna be like you"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home dad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then
My son turned ten just the other day
He said, "Thanks for the ball, Dad, come on let's play
Can you teach me to throw", I said "Not today
I got a lot to do", he said, "That's ok"
And he walked away but his smile never dimmed
And said, "I'm gonna be like him, yeah
You know I'm gonna be like him"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home dad?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then son
You know we'll have a good time then
Well, he came home from college just the other day
So much like a man I just had to say
"Son, I'm proud of you, can you sit for a while?"
He shook his head and said with a smile
"What I'd really like, Dad, is to borrow the car keys
See you later, can I have them please?"
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon
When you comin' home son?
I don't know when, but we'll get together then dad
You know we'll have a good time then
I've long since retired, my son's moved away
I called him up just the other day
I said, "I'd like to see you if you don't mind"
He said, "I'd love to, Dad, if I can find the time
You see my new job's a hassle and kids have the flu
But it's sure nice talking to you, Dad
It's been sure nice talking to you"
And as I hung up the phone it occurred to me
He'd grown up just like me
My boy was just like me
And the cat's in the cradle and the silver spoon
Little boy blue and the man on the moon

I'm a Free Man ......
Finally, I'm discharged from the hospital after staying for 4 nights (that was how I spent my Good Friday and Easter Day). The estimated hospital bill comes up to four thousands plus ... yet to know how much the insurance will cover ... the deluxe room charge is S$425 per night (excluding GST) ... so the room charges are the biggest portion of the bill, 4 digit - S$1,700!!
