FollowOur stay in Ipoh during the mid-term school holidays this time was a short 3 days 2 nights trip. We couldn’t go back at an earlier date as mum, papa and Roy were still in East Europe. When they returned, it was already the end of the first of two weeks of school holidays. We…

Ipoh Trip ~ 16 June 2018
Girls Meet New Twin Cousins
Our girls finally met their new twin cousins on 21 December 2017. They were beaming with joy. So was I. I have been yearning to cuddle my new niece and nephew since day 1 they were born prematurely at 32 weeks on 1 Sept 2017. The girls could not resist cuddling and stroking the babies,…
Singapore Trip – Day 2 (22 Dec 2017)
Today is big brother Raymond’s birthday. We started off our day with breakfast at a nearby market. Food was really not up to we Malaysians’ taste buds. We ordered wanton noodles, prawn noodles, fish ball noodles, economy noodles, coffee and milk tea. Nothing met our expectations, though the queue at most of the stalls were…
We Are Back From Singapore
We came back from Singapore late last night after an 11-hour crawl back from Singapore. We left Singapore at 11:30 a.m., went through the Tuas Checkpoint pretty smoothly without any traffic jam and thought that luck was on our side. But we were so wrong. A few minutes after we left the Tuas Checkpoint, we…
Back In KL
Our ETS ride from Ipoh to KL Sentral today was a tad eventful. A few minutes after the train dropped off passengers at the Sg. Buloh station, the air conditioning and lights in the train were out. Suddenly the train stopped short smack-bang in the middle of no where. Then an announcement came. The train…
Tour Of Gua Tempurung, Gopeng
Today papa drove us to Gua Tempurung, one of the largest limestone caves in Peninsular Malaysia. Ever since the North South Highway was opened over 20 years ago and Gua Tempurung made visible to all who travel on the highway, I’ve been wanting to visit this magnificent cave with a breathtaking view. We left the…
Bon Voyage
Despite having a late night yesterday doing last minute shopping at the shopping mall and only hitting the sack way past midnight, I managed to jump out of bed at 4:45 a.m. today. Alycia and Sherilyn’s flight to Hong Kong was at 10:30 a.m. today. As it’s their first time traveling alone without any accompanying…

Trip Back To Ipoh (18 Oct 2017)
New Year’ Eve and Happy 2017
Our New Year’s Eve on 31.12.2016 was a peaceful and quiet one at our cozy home, unlike previous years where we would either be counting down in a hotel or be gallivanting the streets of Bukit Bintang joining other rowdy revelers. Our girls and I prefer a quiet New Year’s Eve where we could watch…
Hike To The Waterfall @ Ratu Rening
Back To ‘Civilization’!
After a 3-day-2-night stay in the jungle doing ‘camping in style’, I am SO SO glad that we are back home. To civilization! During our stay in the forest reserve, we were up close and personal with nature. Though the rustic villa at Ratu Rening was breathtaking, I just could not live comfortably without an…
Weekend Getaway In A Jungle
In under an hour’s time, we will be off to Ratu Rening (near Genting Highlands / Batang Kali) for a weekend getaway with our usual group of buddies and their kiddos. Hubs and I have been friends with these group of friends since we were teenagers. Our girls and their kids have been friends since…
School Holidays
The mil came back from Hong Kong after being away for 4 months. As usual, she brought back lots of goodies from Hong Kong, New Zealand, Korea and Japan. We had Panettone Christmas bread for breakfast today. Panettone bread is something that we only get to eat once a year around Christmas, which my eldest…
A Quick Beach Getaway to Port Dickson
Port Dickson started life as a humble charcoal producing town, but in recent times it has turned into a thriving and popular beach destination. This jewel of a destination is just 60km from Kuala Lumpur, meaning it is a popular destination for city slickers looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday…
