Snovember (did I steal that title from another Spokane blogger? Probably)

 

The month started with Faith’s birthday.  (Little tip:  if you have the option of having your membranes stripped on Halloween: Don’t do it.  I know all you want is to get the baby out of there and that you think that having a birthday the day after Halloween can’t be bad.  It is.  You are exhausted from Halloween week, want to retch at the idea of a cake and no one wants to party after 72 parties, anyway.  Good thing she was only two and had no idea how badly she was shorted this year.)

Here’s some pictures from the day. 

With presents:

With her darling kitchen that she only plays with if I bribe an older sibling to go down there with her.

With her cake (the tiniest, store bought thing that Safeway had to offer):

Before she fell asleep, while I rocked her like a little baby:

  

Also, on her birthday, our Pediatric dentist offered a “$1 per pound of candy” deal.  The kids were not too interested until I mentioned that Free Kids Meals at Red Robin were being offered.  They jumped.  This picture was front and center in the local paper the next week (maybe because the dentist was also our hometeacher??)

 

Also, I’m over Wolves in Cub Scouts.  And I love it.  Even after I had a mini-breakdown when the member of the bishopric (also known as Ryan) called me.  Even though I have no boys that age.  Even though it’s after school on our busiest night.  Even though I already have another calling.  Somehow that’s how callings work.  You say yes and even though there isn’t much in it for you…you walk away at the end with a happy feeling.

Also, this is how Faith spends her entire day.  Pushing our step-stool around like she’s 85 and this is her walker.  Mind your toes while in our kitchen.  Faith has counters to see over and egg cartons to get into.

 

My old iPhone broke.  Ryan got me a nice new one.  Gabe walks around the house pretending the broken iPhone is his.  (Could he teach some of that “imaginative play” to Faith so she’ll use her play kitchen?)  Here he is taking a picture of his PRETEND iPhone.

Also, we had the snowiest November on record.  LOVE breaking records like that!  The only good things about snow Novembers?  1)  Cute pictures  2) the kids totally want to play in it.  They refuse snow play in March.

Aunt Bekah took them sledding while here for Thanksgiving.  And took pictures.  Officially favorite sister.

  

Also, Seth and Ryan made this darling turkey “disguised” as a Captain Hook (just like Seth’s Halloween costume).  (This is why I put him in charge of these big school projects.)

Also, Seth was hilarious and awesome at this kindergarten Thanksgiving sing-a-long.  He only talked about it for 367 minutes the week before.  And that guy loves head gear.  You can find him wearing this baby any time of the day or night. 

Also, we hosted Thanksgiving for my mom and her husband, Rick, my brother Sam and his new wife Stephanie and my youngest sibling Bekah.  All adults is kind of a nice way to go for Thanksgiving. 

They appreciated all the food:

made table arrangements simple:

were up for any outings we took them on:

(at the snowy Spokane river)

(Riverfront park carrousel)

 

played with the kids:

 

didn’t try to fight Seth for his Gooey’s sundae:

Here are Jane and Seth breaking the wishbone a few days later. 

               

Hopefully they wished for another month as lovely and filled with busy fun as November.  (I wouldn’t mind if they stuck a “less snow” clause in there, though).

Kuala Lumpur International Motor Show 2010 (KLIMS2010)

Finally... KLIMS is here again..have been waiting since 2006 KLIMS


The Very First Devision i enter during KLIMS2010. PROTON. let see what they have? i heard they have lots of CONCEPT car in this shows.

the Proton Kasturi (Saga Face-lift). which is the nearest to production concept car(production ready). behind that.. is Proton EMAS..


Here's another 2 Re-badged concept car from proton.. Proton Lekir (which is known as Lotus Europa) and Proton Jebat (Mitsubishi Lancer EVO X? or Proton Inspira R3?). Buy Proton, you can choose model from LOTUS and MITSUBISHI for cheaper price. Good Deal huh? Only Smart Guy Get it. they give me Proton is a Reverse Engineering Organization. why? usually people create a CONCEPT car then fine-tune it and become Production. where Proton take in PRODUCTION cars and make it as CONCEPT car. unbelievable rite? Cause Malaysia BOLEH!


Here's the New Proton Inspira from Mistubishi.. ops. no it's from Proton. and here is the Proton Tuah.. Certified by Hang Tuah?


The Proton Lekiu... erm.. MPV concept from proton? hmph.. and the Proton Emas.. look like a MINI version of Lotus Esprit.. Small and Parking Friendly.


Proton Rally driver. they are here.. paiseh i dunno what's their name :P

LOOK!!! Proton Saga with Electronic Speed Meter like Honda Civic? and it's Electricity/Hybrid car? cool.. there is a GAME or Driving Simulator for you to experience the Concept car? hmph...


Guess what's Surprise i saw? the Next Lotus Esprit 2013! that's amazing... so nice, i wish to have one... 5.0Liter with Price approx £110,000? sound like a super cars league to me..duh.... Proton! add this car to "Tobe Rebadge List" XD. i'm Evil. somehow i wish this car to be PROTON first SuperCar.


Lotus Esprit!

erm... BMW M1? Perodua Myvi?? Lotus Esprit Concept?? all these is Proton Concept Car? er.. or Lego Competion? Recycle car? i have no idea... all labeled with PROTON logo. i just hope they won't come to Production one day..


Erm... i'm puzzled?? Proton F1 Concept Car??


here come another Malaysia Car manufacture, the Perodua, nice concept car. Perodua Beeza. Blue Headlamp?? malaysia Police Love u!! knew u will sponcer them teh Tarik.. haha okok, just a concept rite. hehehe. look a bit like Toyota Prius. production date? 2018?? hmoh.. need to wait few more years..


The Proton Beeza.. and the Perodua Mini MPV? the covered up "X-Style".. heard is Perodua Myvi Replacement?


Wow!! the Yellow Bee from Transformer!! it's Bumble Bee!! this is the 2010 Chevy Camaro Transformers Special Edition. yupe.. it's available, you can actually own it, if you got the $$$. but trust me, it won't transform into Bumble bee like it transform in the movie.

Camaro Camaro.. Bumble Bee Bumble Bee. even the RIM also labeled with AUTOBOT logo. i wonder will MAS or AIRASIA plane labeled with DECEPTICON logo someday ?


The Bumble Bee... ok this. huge Bumble bee... it's meant for photo session.. 1:1 scale.. actual size.. and i see a lots of transformer toys beside it.. make me feel like i'm middle of Toy Fair? Kids will love this.


Biggest JOKE of the day!! they advertise BIG and almost EVERYWHERE that Transformer Bumble Bee and Bat Mobile will be here. and this Bat Mobile? i laugh when i saw it... feel like cheated.. i plan to take a close picture of it.. but someone stop me for doing so.. so i took the picture from far. and the Bat-Bike.. is made from clay? haven't colour it yet..


ggg.... i'm lost.. let see which Car Manufacturer i want to go.. let go to Naza and see.


there is a section for NAZA. and they bring in Ferrari's and Lamborghini,Bently, Aston Marton.. and so on.. i heard a joke while i'm taking photo of the Lamborghini Murcielago. saw a malays guys said.. "LEMBU INI MASIH LAKU". ok... that's how malay pronounce "lamborghini Murcielargo".. hahaha.


there is lot's model here too. murcielargo or the pretty lady?


Honda Insight which is the Cheapest Hybrid Car in town. (less than 100k, and most important is TAX-FREE!)


and there are some Bikes on display too.. Ducati and Harley Davidson. and a 3 wheels and bike lookalike vehicles.


The Toyota FT-HS. i previously it's SUPRA replacement.. then now add on Hybrid heart. hmph.. hope to see it in production one day.. and there is no FT-86 concept car here. Takumi would be disappointed..


fuah... look at the Interior of the FT-HS! it's so futuristic!

ok.. it's less attractive compare to KLIMS 2006, i were expect to see Lamborghini Reventon, Bugatti Vyron, Ferrari Enzo FXX. zonda F etc kind of Rare Supercars.. but the.. so few super cars there..
