Today’s post is the continuation of our recent Phuket vacation. After spending a great time with the kids at Novotel Phuket Surin Beach Resort for 3 nights, we transferred to Novotel Phuket Karon Beach Resort & Spa for the remaining half of our holiday. Located only 10 minutes drive from the excitement of Patong and right across Karon Beach, Novotel Phuket Karon Beach Resort and Spa is the ideal choice for a Phuket Family Resort.  Upon arrival, from the reception, we […]

I can’t believe how fast time flies. In just a month, we will be ushering the Chinese New Year of the Rooster. We are delighted to be back at Ti Chen, one of Saujana Hotels & Resorts acclaimed dining outlets to preview Executive Chinese Chef, Sam Lu’s sumptuous festive Chinese New Year sets. As this will be the first Chinese New Year celebration for Ti Chen in its new home since its move from Saujana Golf & […]

Christmas to me is spending time with loved ones so when we got invited by our dear friend Kimmy to join him and family at an event nearby our place, we immediately agree.  A fairytale Christmas it is.  The boys with Santa. Have they been good or bad this year?  Santa giving them sweet lollies again. I guess the boys must have been really good this year to receive so many goodies from Santa  Ayden […]

Ethan attended a holiday programme somewhere nearby the Main Place, USJ today. Ayden and I hung around the mall while waiting for him. It was our first time here.  The Christmas decor at the entrance of the Main Place.  We walked inside and came across a giant snow globe. I asked the guy in charge of it and was told that entrance is complementary.  I read that it can take in maximum 3 persons at […]

It’s the school holidays and since I have a little more time to spare, I would like to share an insight of Ethan’s journey in improving his grasp on English. I don’t speak, write nor read Chinese so the only language I use at home with the kids is English with a mixture of Bahasa (as I am after all a Peranakan Nyonya). I thought he would not fare too well in the Chinese language […]

We spent a week in Phuket paradise recently. Only 1 hour 15 minutes away from Kuala Lumpur Malaysia by flight, it is our second time here this year. We stayed at two places this time around – Surin and Karon, both at Novotel Phuket Resorts. We spent several days at Novotel Phuket Surin Beach Resort before transferring to Novotel Phuket Karon Beach Resort & Spa. Today I’ll be writing about our experience staying in Novotel […]

We left the house for 7 days and returned to a warm welcome of a cockroach party.  You see, I laid around 4 of these cockroach traps around the kitchen and the washroom downstairs before leaving the house for our vacation. I did not know what to expect when we returned but when I checked.. OMG! There was a lizard stuck in the trap and apparently the cockroaches were nibbling on it as the lizard’s […]

The school’s academic year is over and that only means holiday is here! We have a lot planned out for our year end break hence I must make sure the boys are in good health to enjoy our holidays. We just got back from a beach holiday. Both Ethan and Ayden enjoyed getting lots of Vitamin Sea They had so much fun under the sun that it was difficult for me to ensure they eat […]

We were at 1 Utama last weekend to check out their Christmas decor.  I don’t get it at first. All I see are giant poinsettia flowers.  And then this huge albino spider appeared in front of me, scaring the heck out of me *almost dropped my camera*  I was thinking, “What does spiders got to do with Christmas?!” I bet they are going to keep those spiders after Christmas and spray paint them black come […]

As the Season of Love and Giving approaches, PARKROYAL Kuala Lumpur is looking forward to host a Joyful Gathering for diners to have a memorable Christmas and New Year with them. Every year, PARKROYAL Kuala Lumpur endeavours to spread the Christmas spirit to the children at Stepping Stones Living Centre as it continues to play its role in corporate social responsibility towards the less fortunate. Founded in 1998 by Pastor Johnson, the Home was set […]

Today’s agenda is having Ethan perform at Sunway Giza for a musical concert. He performed two Grade 6 exam pieces in front of an audience. A week ago I suggested for Ethan to ditch the book and play by ear as I find it weird to see a drummer playing with a book in front of him. Today, he proves to me that he is able to do that – playing without his exam book  […]

Ethan attended his classmate’s birthday party last Saturday. It was a great start to the school holidays.  This is the second birthday party he attended this year. It was held in the evening at a condo, by the poolside so we joined him there.  The first birthday party Ethan attended this year was held during the day at a KFC outlet so we just dropped him there and came to pick him up later.  I am […]

As the year comes to an end and the festive season looms ahead, it is the perfect time to gather with beloved family members and friends to celebrate. At Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel, you’ll have the choice to visit either TEMPTationS, Dynasty Restaurant (non-halal), Vogue Cafe and Gazebo by the poolside for a diverse selection of flavors to celebrate Thanksgiving, Christmas or to welcome the New Year. The takeaway gourmet feast specially prepared by their […]
