Eng's Noodle @ Tanjung Katong Road

What is so nice about this legendary Eng's noodle? I think it's the chilli.

I feel that the noodle was just so so. I admit that their wantons are good, the fried one and the soup one. The cha siu is mediocre. Presentation of the food is also mediocre.

After you add chilli into your noodle, all the mediocre things change into fantastic.

Things from Lazada

On 12th December, Niko told me regarding the new online shopping website. He said this place got sale for black friday. As soon as I reached office, I immediately bought the SKII stempower for only $105.

Then the evening time, I bought some others things. My casio watch was for $38, gold shoes was for $9.50 and Niko's seiko watch was for $58.



I told my neighbor, Yani, to get her SKII too. She also bought. :)

Exhibitions and Events Team Lunch @ Carousel, Royal Scott - 14th September 2014

Father-In-Law Passed Away

I worked OT on Tuesday till 10.15pm. I reached home and showered. However if I worked OT, I can not immediately sleep because my brain needs time to cool down. So I could not sleep until 1.20am. On 3am, I woke up because Niko received a call from mother-in-law that his father passed away. I couldn't sleep after that.

Niko immediately booked ticket on 3.30am wednesday,17th December to fly on 7am. Marco also woke up. I couldn't sleep because I also need to send him to office to get his passport (where got people leave their passport in office) and continued to airport then went to office to finish my deadline. I also needed to book my ticket for the next morning. It happened that SQ was having promotion 2 to go for $590. BEST!!! I took the deal. I quickly finished my job to be presented on Thursday.

The hi-activity was not ended yet. We needed to pack for the botak boy. His things can not be forgotten. All his bolster and pillow must be brought. Thuzar packed during afternoon already.

We slept around 11pm then woke up on 4am on Thursday. As soon as all the preparation was done, I called taxi to airport. We reached early, took some photo with the mickey mouse garden and the indoor garden.



As soon as we reached I called Niko but my phone couldn't be used. Normally I don't have problem with my phone. This time it was like not allowing overseas call. I went in again to the glass door and used airport's wifi to contact Niko thru whatsapp. Fiuh...lucky got free wifi.

After reaching home, I dropped Marco at home and I went to exchange money at Chandra and bought cracker. I couldn't open account at BCA because I don't have tax number and other stupid reasons. We went to Carrefour Duta Merlin to buy Marco's diapers. We have maximum 70kg baggage to bring back to SG.

The evening time, I went to Heaven Funeral Home with my mother and aunty to meet Niko and Family. I was giddy that day because lack of sleep for few days. I went home around 9.30pm to rest.

The day after was the last day of wake. We brought Marco to heaven to see his late grand father for the last time before cremation. When Marco was there, we took pictures with the casket. Marco needed to go home before evening or late afternoon because it was not good for baby or toddler to be in the funeral home. However, there was people who brought 1,5 year toddler to the funeral on 9.30pm and they came 2 consecutive days. Very weird family. I remember my parents never bring me to the funeral when I was little unless it was my relatives or close family member. So my mother went home with Marco and Thuzar. I stayed till the end of the day.


We officially finished around 10.30pm. Cleaned the room and packed our things around 11pm. We went to Heaven Atma Jaya to burn the paper house. Actually burning paper house was very fast as it was paper and empty inside.


The cremation day was on Saturday. We reached there on 7.00am. I was assigned to bring the candles. Then we went up to the cremation room. He was cremated on 8am. So we all went for breakfast at Aston Hotel. The process was done when we were back. The bones were displayed on three different trays. The skull bones, the body bones and the leg bones.


A van provided from Heaven was ready to send us to Ancol. Upon our arrival at he jetty, a boat was ready to take us. I was a bit scared because I can not swim. So while they scattered the ash and the casket ash, I just took photos and video. The shake was getting stronger when the motor was turned off.

Going back to the land was much faster as may be the feeling was lighter and the boat was pushed by the waves.

We went back to Niko's home to take shower and rest a while and after around 3pm we went out to pick Marco up at my house. We went to Central Park. We had dimsum there. Marco ate carrot cake for the first time. He was non-stop eating.




On the way home was so bag till Marco was so hungry. We literally spent 2 hours going home. As soon as reached home, he ate his porridge. We then continue to massage at Yu Yan Tang, Pluit. I was in hell. All my body was painful. Then I decided to add Gua Sha to get rid of the wind. It was like giving birth for the second time. This picture was taken as soon as we finished our session. After 2 days, all the red colour become black like bruise. I feel like I have internal injury.


I slept well that night and woke up the next morning with all pain my body. I brought Marco to the first floor. We needed to settle his things faster and went to have lunch at Ipotsuki PIK.


We ate quick one and headed to airport. Thuzar ate the fried rice before we entered the gate. I never thought that was a bad idea until I saw her had airsick and vomited 4 times in the plane. She vomited again one time in taxi on the way home. It was good to be back home.



From this trip, I conclude that Marco doesn't like my mom. He was still ok with my auntie. He was interested looking at animals which I have a cat loitering around my cluster. It was so difficult to get the things done if he only wants to be carried by Thuzar or me. He was ok with a maid at Niko's house.

Jakarta Trip 8th November 2014

Morning I woke up 8.00am. Jessy promised me to pick me up on 9am. In fact when I contacted her, she was near Tomang already. So I quickly took shower and waited her.

We went to starbucks mandala but there was no any parking lot available. Then she said we went to starbucks sarinah. Yucks!!! I don't like starbucks. I prefer Mc D. She didn't want. For me Starbucks is just super expensive coffee which I can not find why it's 4x the price than normal coffee.

After that, we were heading to Pacific Place. I chose to eat Oxtail Soup. She recommended the one managed by Borobudur Hotel. The price for small portion of oxtail soup was Rp.99K. I actually wanted to order the medium one, but Jessy said she normally eats the small one.

After that, we sat and chit chat on the cafe. I ordered Gryphon Tea, Pearl of the orient. We just went home after finishing our drinks.

On the way home, JC's car tank was empty till the light was on. She forgot to pump petrol and the nearest petrol station was not so near as we were in the CBD area and it was raining heavily some more. Finally we could reached the petrol station without unwanted thing happened.

My First Item from Lazada

We were on the way to office when Niko said there was this new online shopping having sale. I checked out on SKII he mentioned. Yes...it was really cheap. The seller is from SGBESTBUY. When I checked the SGBESTBUY website, they were more expensive. So when I reached office, I straight away bought my stempower 80gr for $115.

The price dropped on the evening. I wrote a complain to Lazada. I think they handled it nicely. I requested for a refund. They can not do that. Eventually we solve the issue by a $15 voucher.

Then I spent it the next day for 4 items. A 16gig micro SDcard for my phone, a pair of silver sandals, a pair of pink sandals which I think to give my maid, and a casio watch. All these 4 items I paid $54 after deducting with the $15 voucher.

My SKII have arrived on 15 Dec. 3 days after I put order on 12 Dec. That is fast.

Marco is 9 Months

In this age, he became a very troublesome baby. He doesn't want to be left alone. He always wants to be carried.

He wakes up in the morning around 6am and makes noise. He is like alarm clock for us.

His food is already more solid, not a smooth porridge with minced chicken or pork, chopped carrot and broccoli. His eating schedule is already fix, so it is easier to prepare and plan to go out side. His breakfast is normally 8-9 am in the morning. His lunch is normally on 12 noon. In between lunch and dinner, he will have juice or milk. Dinner is around 6 or 7pm.

He sleeps around 8pm. He will drink milk again on 11.30pm as he is hungry. Then he wakes up on 6am and drink milk again.
His appetite is really good compared to next door toddler. Marco eats more than him. Marco's bowl is bigger and he seems like not so full after a bowl of thick porridge. Well I can see the result of his appetite, he is fatter than 2 months ago. I can see his cheeks are more chubby.

His head is still bald. However I can see more hair.

His attitude becomes more and more obvious. He is a persistent baby. If he wants something, he will try to get it.

Lately he sticks with my maid because he is now understand and recognized people more compared to few months back. We have a problem when it comes to strangers. He is afraid to strangers and he will immediately cry with a very sad face when a stranger carries him.

We began to give him what ever we was eating. He also shows some interest if he is looking at us eating. Niko shared Mc.D apple pie and ice cream with him. I shared my pork in milk, curry puff, and spaghetti. I think he needs to eat more meat rather than just carbo or vege.
