During the last weekend, our resident association ( BU 7 & 10 ) held a carnival at one of the parks around our ‘Taman’. The purpose of this carnival is to raise funds for the MAA kidney charity fund. It was quite a noble event so we decided to eat our lunch and have some fun!

Most of the resident here were really supportive and they showed up to donate their money for this event. My mother-in-law, Deborah and her dancing friends gave a helping hand and helped to prepare an assortment of food and drinks to sell at the stores. Some even went as far as to outsource hawkers and even Domino Pizza, as well as contribute their own home made dishes.

Khai were strolling around the park looking at some of the games. Most of the games looked very easy on the surface but in actual fact, posed quite a challenge for Khai, even though he had been playing games all his life. He came across a number of challenges, but because of charity, we didn’t mind spending a lot of money on the games. Thankfully he won me a lollypop as a consolation prize! Thanks, dear!

Khai also bought me a new toy during the past week. The name of the toy is called My Melody, a close comrade of Hello Kitty. My Melody is my most favorite toy of all time. I’ve been playing with it since I was very young and I have an abundance of stickers, posters and little imitations of My Melody. In Malaysia, we came across a lot of imitations. Some of them do not even look remotely close to what My Melody actually looks like. But Khai finally found an original version of the toy. The toy cost RM140 – which is more than Khai’s car maintenance!

So why did Khai spend so much money on the toy? I guess he really wanted some burgers in return, and stop me to control his diet…
