Finally after several hiccups in uploading the pictures and videos, I managed to edit the first batch of photos of our recent trip.
My mother said it hasnt been raining for several days in Damar Laut but on the day we took the boat to cross, it was raining very heavily!! But when we reached Lumut jetty several minutes later it was bright and sunny again. Yippee!
On the ferry to Pangkor Island we stayed at the upper deck all the way. We passed the Navy Basal in Lumut hence the many naval ships along the shore.

Sun, Sand & Sea
Greetings from Pangkor Island
It was the spur of the moment kind of thing. The school holiday started yesterday. Hubby and I decided to take the kids to holiday to somewhere nearby. After several attempt last Monday, I managed to called in this resort and managed to book a room and last night we reached my parents place at 2 am and believe it or not, I drove half way (at night, I must add). This was bcos hubby looked too sleepy and tired, courtesy of Man U vs Chelsea football match 2 nights before and his snooker session the previous night.
So we took the 10 minutes boat ride from my parents place, reached Lumut, had lunch and took the 30 minutes ferry ride to Pangkor Island. Kids are having a blast - since we reached this afternoon - pool, sea and back to pool again while I was trying to finish this book I've been reading but managed to fall asleep next to all the screaming kids in the pool.
I've got plenty of pictures to show off but maybe in the next post. Just finished dinner and I'm now in the business centre of the hotel and they are charging me RM15 an hour for the internet service. Kids and hubby are playing pool.
Ciao for now.

How deep is your love by Bee Gees
I heard this song when visiting Kim's blog at Coffee, Chocolate and a Chat. Oh I forgot how beautiful it was. Pls take the time to listen to it (once again, if I may add) and immerse yourself in its beautiful melody. Enjoy people.

British vs Irish accent
It was Sunday night. My hubby went to watch a rock concert by the local group Wing's at Planet Hollywood. He asked me to come along. Thanx but no thanx. I'm so not into rock music. So he went with a friend.
Since Monday is a public holiday so I can afford to have a late night. I came across this movie called Breaking and Entering and it has Jude Law in it. Don't you just love his accent? ^_^ It's a film about crime and punishment, love and hate, sins and forgiveness. Although the film tried to tackle other depressing issues ie. war in Sarajevo, neighbourhood clashes in King's Cross but to me the emotional struggle in the couples relationship that took my attention. It was quite a thought provoking story especially on relationship and how our actions and the lack of it determine the course of any relationship we started. Am I making sense here? I especially like the narration made at the beginning of the movie "When you stop looking at each other (your partner), shouldn't that be a warning?"
Anyways the movie ended about 12 midnight. Received sms from hubby that the concert just started its second session after the break. And its already so late! I went to sleep but woke up again after 20 minutes. I cant sleep. Went to make myself a hot cocoa and went back to the TV. I almost gave up after realising there was nothing interesting to watch when I suddenly remembered that my hubby just bought the new DVD entitled PS I Love You. He had asked before whether I would want him to buy it and I said no bcos I want to read the book first but lucky for me - he still bought it.
The movie suppose to be a romantic comedy but I cried my eyes out!! I'm such a weepah. And I love Gerard Butler's Irish accent ... although most of the time I was trying to figure out what was being said but it's okay, it sounded soo romantic (Yup I'm a hopeless one). So 2 movies in a night and both had leading men with accent. Ha! Ha!
My eyes were swollen from the crying the night before so I abandoned my contact lenses and wore glasses the whole day.

Speed Racer
We took the kids to watch Speed Racer last night. Well, I must confess that I want to watch it bcos of Rain is acting in it. Not as the leading man but it's his first international / foreign movie. The other girls from the fan club had watched it earlier as a group but I was quite busy to go. Furthermore I want to watch it with my 2 boys on the big screen bcos I know they will enjoy this anime cum to life story.And what a ride it was. We came out from the theatre feeling as if we were on a roller coaster ride for the past 2hrs or so and high on adrenaline!! The boys love all the car racing and the ninja fighting scenes. To me it was more a family movie then anything and I love the Racer family (and Rain of cos'). I read somewhere before that the Wachowski brothers made this film for their niece and nephew to watch. Apart from their well known action trademark, the Wachowski brothers love to give lectures in their movies. Remember Oracle or Architect in Matrix? Or even Vandetta? Well, so does in this movie. I found it okay but the kids may felt a bit impatience for it to end and get on with the racing bit.
My two sons watched 'Cars' probably about a gazillionth times. I think Speed Racer will top that one bcos it has the Formula 1 and drift action - all combined into one. They love car racing story.
Danish already told me that he felt like watching it again. Okay we have to find the DVD.

What a week
I've been swamped with work.
Project deadlines, finance software upgrade followed by crash course training for software upgrade. One staff fell sick, another went MC the next day and a freelancer is leaving. On Tuesday, I went thru stack of resumes on my tables, short listed them and interviews were held on Thursday and Friday. Next Tuesday I shall be calling 2 candidates for second interview.
Hubby had to go outstation for a meeting so I'm a single parent for till Friday afternoon. My eldest son was having his mid year exam. Every evening I rushed home from work (earlier than usual) so I could guide him on his revision.
Last night, received a call from one of our close friend Z and his wife asking hubby and me out. We were both dead tired. We just came back from dinner with the kids. I can hardly lift my eyelid. But my hubby's bestfriend sound troubled so we agreed to go out and meet them. Z told us that his father is diagnosed with prostate cancer and its progressive. He spent the whole day consulting specialists from three different hospitals and being the only son in the family, he has a lot to decide and do. So last night he just want to 'not think about it' at least for the night.
My internet link has been acting up (again!) on the 2 days that I wish to log in so I just gave up.
And I really miss my blog... I'm so looking forward to this weekend bcos Monday is a public holiday for Wesak Day. Have a good weekend everybody.
