Lunch Date with Mom & Dad

by elena.kwok

AMARIN THAI – I love this place.. love the food, the drinks, the atmosphere and most of all I love eating. Though we savored this yummylicious food few weeks back, I can still feel the ‘Steam Fish with Lime, Chili and Garlic Sauce in my rumbling tummy.

Truth is we were actually celebrating our 10th Anniversary and invited my parents along but they didn’t know the invitation was for that particular occasion. We didn’t tell and not until now. So MOM if you’re reading this, YES we just wanted to celebrate our anniversary with both of you. We enjoy your company because we know you two don’t judge, won’t complain and never give us a hard time. And yes, Elaine… we wished you were here. :)

A lot have changed since we last stepped into Amarin Thai, Midvalley.. decor changed, furniture changed and menu also changed but not the flavors!!!

Javier’s Yellow Card

by elena.kwok

Javier got his report card recently. His results was way beyond my expectation which was great! They are mostly As’ and Bs’ as you can see. And yeah, there’s a ‘C’ there but as the saying goes; “Easy as ABC” so the ‘C has got to make it’s point somewhere!

He got a ‘C’ in Mandarin reading but it’s better than me as I can’t read any except for a few and probably my name. But the headmistress said he wouldn’t be of any problem since he isn’t furthering his studies in a Chinese Medium School so there’s nothing to worry.

The Big Yellow Card (Javier’s favorite color)

Javier did well and he didn’t even ask for a reward but I am going to get him something that he wants. So stay around and look for updates on his reward!!!

A Trip to The Dentist

by elena.kwok

Javier’s first visit to the dentist turned out to be a success. He was nervous at first but nevertheless gave in after the dentist calmed him down by explaining to him the functions of her every gadget. She even gave him a big sunnies to protect his eyes from the bright light and water splashes and it’s yellow, his favorite color.


Joe and Judith visited the dentist too but they only went for a consultation and blimey. My 2 kids need braces which will cost me RM8K. I think I need a loan. Dentist loan?



Anyway, Javier had 2 fillings to cover up the holes in his back teeth. He was fidgeting in his seat when the process started but who wouldn’t upon hearing the screeching sound coming out from the high speed air driven dental drill and also the SssSSSS sound that produces from the saliva injector that sucks out excessive saliva during procedures. Urrghhh… I don’t really like going to the dentist either since the school dentist and nurse chipped my front tooth in secondary school. I should have sued her for negligence.



But that was the past, so no hard feelings. If only I knew, I could have asked her to get me a braces in return of not suing her. Haha!
