    Peekaboo!

    It happened few weeks ago. My mom cut down the grape leaves two months ago (about the same time that Bain and Jia visited me). The leaves started growing back and guess what? There were flowers too. I was all excited but forgot to call and tell my mom who went back to hometown. When she got back to KL, she was so surprised to the flowers.  I told her I saw them but were quite pessimist about them surviving the weather. There were a bunch; maybe like more than 10 little flowers. To date, only two survived and they look like this:

    Only two tiny grapes in two years. Haha but this is okay, we’re planting just for fun.

    Khemy

    I went to meet Khemy (or better known as Ida amongst friends) to pass her the photo that she won from guessing where the header from my other blog was taken. It was great to meet her again! The last time I met her was during Azrai’s (my brother) wedding exactly two years back.

    Comprehensive and collision

    Comprehensive and collision insurance…I just learned about this today, lol! Been renewing car insurance without knowing the meaning of comprehensive and collision. I leave it fully to my husband to understand the whole thing and will refer to him if anything happens. Well nothing is going to happen if I drive carefully, right? So far in 12 years of driving, I have  had only one minor accident in 1998. Didn’t claimed anything coz I don’t really understand the whole process. Was not married yet that time.

    This my finding from my recent read:

    Comprehensive auto insurance policy coverage provides protection against the following:

    • Theft
    • Fire
    • Vandalism
    • Collision with animal
    • Windstorm
    • Flying objects (err..UFO is it?)
    • Haili like to read children's books
    • Broken Windows

    Collision car insurance coverage covers:

    • Damage caused by the upset of the covered auto
    • Damage caused by impact with another vehicle or object *

    * Should’ve claimed this one back then!

    But this is just from the website that I read, dunno whether it’s the same in Malaysia. Too lazy to look at the real thing. It kinda have small texts and so many things to read. I only like to look at pictures with bigger texts. Well thin novels as well. Anna Karenina is so out of the list although I wanted very much to read the book! Perhaps one day.
