In loving memory of my beloved wife

We used the ferry to cross the straits as the little said he wanted to have the feels of surfing on the sea. The queue for the ferry was about 15 minutes but the fares were higher than using Penang bridge. The kids, however were overjoyed on the ferry as they could stand facing the blowing winds while watching the cruise. They were indeed hoping for a flying fish and jelly fishes as the last trip, they saw one or two flying fishes gliding on the surface of the sea and quite a number of jelly fishes. But they disappointed as there were no fishes.

We visited an old shopping center, the Pulau Tikus 1-Stop. Before arrival of Gurney, Prangin Mall and Queentown Mall, this used to be the center of attraction and we regularly visited this mall. The kids may not feel the meaning of re-visit this mall but I did. Even the abandon parking lot gave me some memory.. The kids quickly found their favourites, The Ben 10 accessories. And so the visit to this mall costed me more than RM100 for imitated Ben 10 accessories. There were quite a hunting for the kids as they were now having Ben 10 bag, pencil boxes, T-shirt, pants, cards etc. They also seized the joy with buying additional toys- Picachu! What a Ben 10 and Picachu!

We checked in the Traders Hotel at 2pm and I needed to choose at least a 3-stars hotel as the kids were complaining repeatedly for the last budget hotel in PJ. They even teased me for choosing the budget hotel. They were happy when checked-in as the hall and the room are spacious for them to run around. They judged if they would like the hotel by the space if they could run around freely! The little one later called his "friend" to the hotel room as he was promised for a toy. I must clarified that I DID never demand for the toy but the little one made the request. So, it was not my faulty. The friend arrived in his CRV and a Lego plane toy. The little one was overjoyed as he would follow his "stephen ko-ko" when we visited the Aquarium. They seem to be having some topics for chats after all. May be I was to serious daily so the kids felt pressure facing me. I must be trying to have another emotional adaptation.

We spent some times eating at the "new world". This was not a place I had visited as I never knew of this place. But, I believed you will like this spot as they were quite a number of your favourite foods selling here along with the 'modernized' coffee shop etc. The little one, however complained of his headache... and it was kind of warm for this body. He could have caught a fever or flu. We went back to the hotel room so as to allow some rests for the little one. He was sweating and the body heat was rising. At 12am, he vomited but he was still energetic with smiles and laughters. And so, i tried to make him to fall back to sleep again. But, he again vomited at 3am. Feeling the risk, we checked out and rushed back to Ipoh so can get some medication arrangement for him. Along the journey back, he vomited twice again with much shorter duration. We reached the hospital at 6am and the little one was admitted for close monitoring. When I am writing this blog at the hospital room, he is doing ok and playing his favourite games with his temperature controlled and had not had vomitting again since 5am. After all, as long as he is doing ok, it really does not matter if we will stay at hotel room or hospital room. Kids, you are really my world now!
