How to start your own blog on blogspot.com

Last week, my che-ches asked me about how to create this website/blog page.  I wasn’t sure and neither was mummy.  We told daddy about it and he was quite busy during the week so he didn’t do anything.  Daddy decided to help me explain this in a few simple steps.

1) Go to blogger.com.

2) Assuming that you have a GMail account, sign in.

3) Click on “Create Your Blog Now”, follow the intructions where you are to name you your blog, find out whether the right URL (link) name is available, e.g myfunblog.blogspot.com, choose a template (as below) and your blog will be created!

4) You can start blogging away now …

Hot Air Balloons

Missed the hot air balloons on Saturday, so daddy decided to take us to see them on Sunday evening.  Sunday was the last day for the hot air balloons.  Expecting it to be even more crowded, daddy parked the car quite a distance from the event and we stood on high ground to have a look.

I think daddy took more than 100 pictures with his large camera with long lens.  I took a few other those too. The first one was daddy’s favourite picture and I heard him say that this is probably the only single picture out of the 100 that he liked! (1% … hmphhhh … I can do better I am sure!)

More pictures, no the camera wasn’t slanting, the wind was quite strong that evening.

Many of the balloons taking off from the ground.

My favourite balloon.

And finally a nice coloured one …

Not sure if they will come again next year, maybe by then I won’t need to “borrow” pictures from daddy’s camera.

Putrajaya Hot Air Balloon

This morning, daddy could not wake up and hence we were late for the Hot Air Balloon show.  This is the first ever Hot Air Balloon festival held at Putrajaya and there were lots of publicity about it.  We were there after 9 in the morning and only ONE balloon was there.  Mummy told me that the rest have gone home as they can’t be out playing all the time.

I wonder what the 2 ko-kos in front of me was discussing about.  The picture I took was kinda “blocked” by taller people, so mummy helped me take another photo with my hand-me-down old 3.2 megapixel digital camera … ahem, hint hint …

Daddy actually went pass on Friday morning and manage to take some quick shots before he went to work.  Borrowing some shots from daddy’s camera …

Maybe if daddy can wake up tomorrow morning, we may still have a chance to go again.  Let’s see … I am off to bed now …

A visit to Petrosains

Well, it’s the science museum of Petronas, which is called the Petrosains.  This is located at KLCC and mummy organized it as a family outing.

Since mummy organized it, the tickets and entrance was smooth sailing, not much waiting and not much hassle.  We went to the dinosaur exhibit for a start and since that was kinda scary, we left quickly.  We then queued to take the little “black berry” ride into the science centre.  Since it is a science centre, I guess taking the following picture is just a natural thing to do.

Oh, of course, little sister came along.  We were trying to solve some “pipe” routing which was on the wall.

My favourite!  The digger!  The 3 sticks were to control the mechanical arm and it took me some time to familiarize myself with it.  It’s interesting to me, but little sis was bored.

Being a Petronas centre, it’s obvious that there will be some F1 involvement or showcase.

It was a great day and I actually took an afternoon nap that day!

Day at the Sepang track …

Today is a public holiday and to do something different, daddy decided to take us to the Sepang F1 track!  Well, we were not there to watch the F1 cars but for the unofficial Satria Neo R3 race day.

First thing first, need to get some photos with the “umbrella girls”.  Well, that is what daddy said as he was too shy to ask the girls to pose, so he asked me to put on my charming smile and ask che che …

Of course, che che said for such a cute fella, she will definitely pose with me.

Anyway, back to the cars.  We were there to watch the Satria Neo R3 of uncle Arthur and uncle Roland race.  This is my first time in the pits and I guess it is a rare privilege for us kids, but we were not allowed outside the pits due to safety reasons.

A rainy day today, with lots of cars spinning off the track.  I guess the visibility would be quite bad sitting in it.  Hope that car number 15 is ok.

Last but not least, another highlight of the day …

Nice bokeh huh =) 

My marketing effort …

Last weekend, the family went for a short “holiday” to Penang.  Well, in reality, one of us was too stressed out preparing for a paid lecture and  another was too flustered chasing and looking after 2 kids.  But that didn’t matter, both sis and myself enjoyed ourselves.  Sis did not even want to return to KL!

Anyway, the actual story on my marketing effort for this blog site.  On the way back from Penang, dad needed his premium McD coffee (well, he thinks that McD probably serves better coffee than the overpriced Starbucks) and stopped in our regular off the highway McD joint.  Yi Wen and Yi Ni che che came with Mak Koh to see us with lots of goodies … and I took the opportunity to use the McD free wi-fi to it’s fullest!  I did marketing!

Doesn’t that just look like a serious salesman … opps, salesboy!
