For those who are friends with me on Facebook would have probably known about the mishap that has happened to us on Tuesday. Although it was quite a scare but I am still thankful that it didn’t go any worse and although the total loss value was high but it was still minimal. Neither would I want to declare ourselves unlucky for the fact that in every 2 or 3 “bad lucks”, we have been getting 10 to 20 super duper good luck or rezeki.

For those who sent us texts, emails, calls, messages and visits; THANK YOU VERY MUCH!  We really appreciate it! All my friends are the best! Love you guys…

Last night we went out to get some groceries and on the way back I asked Miki to identify our house and see if he knows where he lives. I pointed to every single house on our block as we passed by them and correctly he answered “No…”

When we were finally reaching ours, Miki said, “Ni lah…. Rumah baru yang dah takde TV tu!”. I didn’t know if I wanted to cry or laugh.

Miki is really catching up on English. Somebody asked in the earlier comments about our medium language at home and I didn’t get a chance to answer. The truth is, contrary to popular practice, Azman and I speak to our son 95% Malay and 3% English and 2% screaming lyrical nonsense in a fusion of both languages with a tinge of French.  Just kidding. (Actually it’s Tamil.)

For some reason Miki likes to speak in English nowadays. I don’t know why. He can converse in up to ten bahasa penjajah English sentences already, excluding individual English words. I don’t know where he picked them up. Maybe just Spongebob. I am pretty pleased with this milestone considering other kids his age haven’t started to speak any language at all. As much as I am pleased I am also very amused with all the verbal mistakes that he makes. Like

1) “Mummy!!!! Apa that?” while pointing at our car. When I answered that it should be WHAT IS THAT not APA THAT and that’s Mummy’s car, he would reply “Ini car Gen2 lah!” and look at me funny. Eh eh… Motipp bertanya in the first place??

2) He crawled under his Daddy’s big heavy legs while the big guy was lying down on the bed, and when he got stucked he screamed for help “LET YOU GO! LET YOU GO!” It’s ‘let me go’, son and ada sapa-sapa suruh ko menyelit kat situ? Nasib baik tak kena kentut!

3) At times, it’s just bad grammar. “How are you do, Mummy?” It is supposed to be “How are you doing, Mummy?” or “How do you do, Mummy?”

Nak speaking sangat… kan dah grammar bertabur… Tapi nak buat camana… ikut mak dia…
Have a nice weekend guys!

We went to watch The Last Airbender on Saturday. For someone who has never watched the cartoon series, I simply love the movie! I love it! Love it!

As usual, the good guys would look like Mat Salleh and the bad guys would look like Asians and in this case – Indians, typical Hollywood movie but what the heck, Hollywood bullshit is always a believable bullshit. And Sokka is cute. Nuff said.

I must say Miki enjoyed the movie too. Once it was over and we were walking out of the theater, my lil Chikadee started to narrate the story back to us.

“Abang tu tarik air tu! Abang tu tumpahkan air tu! Bla bla bla….Monster… bla bla bla…. Api… bla bla bla…. Meletop… bla bla bla…”

Yang aku tak tahan sambil dia bla bla bla tu tangannya merewang2 uols!

He spins his arm around with his tiny yet powerful fist, trying to intimidate movements of the characters in the movie. Didn’t bother me a single thing when his Daddy was carrying him around but once we got into the car, Miki sat on my lap and I made a horrible horrible mistake. As he pushed the “airbending power” from his open palm towards the front side of the car,I pointed to a couple of Malaysian flags on the poles by the roadside and said,

“Wow, Miki buat flag tu terbang!” Didn’t Oprah told us not to lie? Well, I lied! I was only trying to be fun! And yet I had to pay for the consequences. For the next 24 hours after Miki watched M. Night Shyamalan’s The Last Airbender, he thought he was THE NEXT AVATAR.

If you think that the movie is cute. Let’s look at it from my perspective. Try and answer this simple question! Bagaimana nak basuh berak budak 2tahun yang sungguh nasty poopoonya sambil beliau practice airbending begitu? Haa…Cakap? Cakap?

The Sony DSC-TX5 looks to me just like another those in the Cyber-shot ‘T’ series. PRETTY!

It’s built very slim at 17.7mm in depth, in the size of a credit card sized, glossy and sports a slide open and shoot lens cover mechanism that powers up the camera at the same time, thus ensuring that taking a picture is really, really easy and fast. If you are taking pics of a toddler like Miki, you know why I really appreciate this feature.

The best thing about this TX5camera model is the fact that it is Sony’s first ever waterproof model, it is capable of withstanding a dunking to a depth of 10ft, it is dust proof, shock proof (against drops from 1.5 metres) and freeze proof (to minus 10°C) too. I don’t think I ever need to worry about the low temperature but the other toughness features I really love! Even though TX5 has all those capabilities, it is still slim and sexy! It is also very light and I can put it in my jeans pocket. Please bear in mind I wear super skinny jeans only! haha

They are made available in several colors including black, silver, green, red and the day-glo pink. Very lovely!

The TX5′s lens starts out at  25mm, which is quite wide I’d say and runs to 100mm at the telephoto end, that means it is great for shooting from landscapes to group portraits. It also has an impressive-in-action Sweep Panorama function.I like this function a lot, great especially if I wanna take a nice picture for my blog header.

It has this feature called continuous or burst shooting that can  be selected  from ‘Hi’, Mid, or ‘Lo’ speed options. Which means it can capture images continuously like a machine gun.

As you all know, I have been taking underwater pictures for the past several years and all this while I have been using another camera brand. But now I think we need to move on TX5, because in comparison to my old camera. TX5′s LCD screen is sooo much clearer!! Even when you look at it underwater!With our old camera, sometime we simple shoot the pic without knowing what exactly we are capturing because the LCD is so poor! Resulting some of my pics senget-senget and tak cantik!

So for those going on your next snorkeling trip, you just gotta have a TX5!

Check out my crazy pic taken with TX5 at Sunway Lagoon. Takke lawak giler muka ala-ala ikan buntal gitu?? Hahaha That’s me and blogger friend Dilla Arif!

Puffer fishes Dilla and Diyana

The picture was taken during My Water Moments with Sony TX5 event held last Saturday at Mali Cove, Sunway Lagoon. I had such a great time. Sony has organized games for about a hundred of us and I join group E4 with other Advertlets bloggers. Guess what?! We won second place! Awesome right?

5 of us won a Sony Bloggie HD each! Best gilerrrr!! It worth RM899 ok! And can take a 360 panoramic picture!

Jealous la! Silalah jealous!

I was the only girl in my team!

Me and the ladies! They are so much fun! Love em!

With the other winners. Thanks a lot to Sony and also Advertlets.
