31 January 2010

The kids were so excited today as they knew it's Mei Mei's birthday. Mei Mei also knew and she was singing Happy Birthday songs for herself. Ko Ko kept pestering when we wanted to buy a birthday cake. The boys specified they wanted chocolate cakes.

What time did I wake up that day?? I forgot. 8.30 am??? Hmmm...it's only yesterday!!!

Morning spent some time transferring books to my 2nd room to put on my newly bought book shelves. Gave Ko Ko the Taman Ria magazine that I had bought 3 weeks ago. Look like it wasn't a good decision as he and Darren started pestering wanted to go to KFC just for the toys that they were offerring.

11.30 pm - Gone to KFC Giant, but the toys were all sold out. We still had our KFC though. Hmmm yummy...they were all freshly out from the oven. We had to wait for our chicken cos there were no more drumsticks. We always go for Drumsticks & thighs.

Shopped at Giant since we were there. Daddy bought 2 pairs of shoes for himself, one for Darren & one for Ko Ko

Stopped at Puchong Perdana to get a chocolate cake from Vision for Mei Mei's birthday.

4.00 pm Sang Mei Mei's birthday song. Mei Mei was so happy & she looked so shy. She really loved the cakes. She had eaten 1.5 pieces..quite a lot for such a young lady who just turned 3.

5.30 pm Darren had been korekking cakes to eat and other biscuits. Well we decided we better go for dinner. We were taking steamboat, just saw one at bandar puteri advertising rm 19.90 ++ for adults & kids eat for free...We might as well try there...took maid as well as treat to her for taking care of Mei Mei...

we ate until 8 pm. We took our own sweet time since there wasn't many people there and the ambience was nice. Good for kids although there wasn't that much choices.

Salted Chicken from Ipoh!!

17 January 2010 (Sunday)

A morning walk friend, an Auntie, was so nice that she volunteered to buy for me the famous salted chicken from Ipoh, her hometown. RM16, it was cheap and it was delicious. Ko Ko loved it so much. It's like a salted herbal chicken.

The two meat eaters, Darren and Mei Mei didn't know how to eat it though. They were very particular about onions, garlics, & herbs.

Miss School!!!

25 January 2009 (Monday)

My god!!! Ko Ko missed his replacement class last Saturday.

I was happily suggested to go back to my hometown thinking that there wasn't anything much this weekend. After all,it was good to go back once before the CNY.

I had received 12 missed call from the same person on that Saturday afternoon about 12.15pm. As usual my handphone ran out of battery, always forgotten to charge my handphone. I didn't pay much attention to the missed despite feeling that the number looked a bit familiar.

Only on the way back to KL then only I realised. I remember a friend told me that there's replacement class that coming Saturday, which Ko Ko failed to alert me. I quickly checked whether the missed calls were from Auntie who fetched Ko Ko to school. OOOooo.....bingo!!

Sigh....trust the kid to inform us of everything....

Well, I was also forgetful not to say...My friend had alerted me in a way and I was thinking of checking Ko Ko's bag for any notification, yet I forgotten...

On reflection, what did I do the last weekend??

a'famosa - A family holiday to wrap up the past year

1-2 January 2010

This was the much awaited year end holidays...which Daddy wanted so much to wrap up the year. We had this so late as Daddy was not free at the end of November and in December 09.

We finally decided to stay booked a place at A'famosa, taking on their family package of 2 adults and 2 kids. RM358 nett for the whole package which were inclusive of one night stay at Beverlyhill Condominium and 2 adults and 2 kids tickets for Animal Safari World and the cowboy town. Considering an adult ticket worth about RM40 and a kid ticket RM30 for the entrance of either Animal Safari World & the Cowboy town , this package was considered reasonable for a shoulder period.

There were 2 double beds, so that's great.

Mei Mei was parading in her swimsuit and with her goggle, all ready to go to the swimming pool.

Finally in the pool...

Family photo time!!!..ai ya...where was that Ko Ko!!!

While waiting for the Elephant show, the kids fed the elephant with bananas...
Since the children were not interested to take photo, might as well Mummy take

Heading towards chicken farm.

While waiting for the Animal Safari truck to come, Darren happily posted.....

Taking the Safari truck was the activity that he had been pestering to have it first.

These two boys wanted to go for the second round of the Safari tour...

During the Safari tour...

As usual, Darren wouldn't be happy without fulfilling what he wanted. He got his ice-cream and finished it.

Ko Ko was quite happy with the bird performance. He wanted to take a photo with the eagle.

We got a bird painting for RM10, collected by the bird itself.

A photo with a pony

We were waiting for the boat to Monkey Island after lunch.

The kids were so excited that the boat was coming. You see the naughty little girl!!!

"Monkey Island, we are coming.."

On the boat with the skipper..

Leaving the Monkey Island.

The 2 pm cowboy show.

Feeding the pony with long bean

Even the sheeps ate long bean

Beverly Hills Condominium in A'Famosa

1 January 2010

The condominium was big and comfortable.

Please do not expect any service from the counter though. No service available here. Nothing extra that you could request. Therefore, do bring any extra blanket, pillow or whatever you need cos no one bothers you.

Daddy was trying to see whether the portable DVD player could be connected to TV. Well, not working ...

The kids were enjoyng the cooling air cond and were jumping from one bed to another bed.

Breakfast time. As normal, the boys were boys. Once sat together sure will get into fights. Having their favourite Maggy Mee and half boiled egg at the condomium before we left for the Animal Safari World. They always asked for these when we travelled.

With kids, it was easier to eat in rather than go out to look for food especially with the time constraint that we had. Not to mention, Darren was very picky on his food...sigh

You need to walk to the reception to enjoy the swimming pool which were just next to it....not very far though. I took this picture from my rented condominium balcony.

The swimming pool was not very deep, it was only until Ko Ko's shoulder. Therefore, the kids did enjoy the pool as they were just deep enough for them. Of course the baby pool was more suitable for Mei Mei.
