Trip Back To Ipoh (16 – 18 June 2018)

Posted on June 25, 2018June 25, 2018 by Shireen

Our 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

Posted on June 17, 2018June 19, 2018 by Shireen

We were very early for our 8:35 a.m. ETS this time as we didn’t have breakfast at McD or Burger King. I told the hubs that having breakfast at the station was a complete waste of time. I bento-ed fried rice and apples for the girls to eat on the train instead. My papa and…

Girls Meet New Twin Cousins

Posted on December 30, 2017December 30, 2017 by Shireen

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)

Posted on December 28, 2017December 28, 2017 by Shireen

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

Posted on December 24, 2017 by Shireen

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

Posted on December 17, 2017 by Shireen

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

Posted on December 15, 2017December 16, 2017 by Shireen

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

Posted on December 3, 2017 by Shireen

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…

Deepavali Holiday (Ipoh – 20 Oct 2017)

Posted on October 21, 2017October 21, 2017 by Shireen

Activities on the 3rd day in Ipoh: Cass helped around the kitchen. She peeled a pile of pink Barlotti beans for making soup… … and helped her granny bake an Ogura pandan cake. It was the first time my mum baked Ogura cake in pandan flavor and it did not turn out as well as…

Trip Back To Ipoh (18 Oct 2017)

Posted on October 19, 2017 by Shireen

I got up at 4:45 a.m. on a very lovely Wednesday today. We have a mission and that’s to reach the KL Sentral station by 8 a.m. to have breakfast before catching the 8:30 a.m. ETS to Ipoh. After 2 rounds of laundry and some house chores, I woke the girls up to get them…

New Year’ Eve and Happy 2017

Posted on January 3, 2017June 23, 2018 by Shireen

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

Posted on December 13, 2016April 24, 2017 by Shireen

Hiking in the jungle is not the girls’ first. They had tackled Rangitoto Island in New Zealand 2 years ago as well as Stanley Peak and Victoria Peak in Hong Kong last year. But this is by far the toughest ever hike for them at Ratu Rening. The hike to the waterfall on steep and…

Back To ‘Civilization’!

Posted on December 12, 2016May 6, 2017 by Shireen

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

Posted on December 10, 2016December 12, 2016 by Shireen

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

Posted on November 29, 2016March 20, 2018 by Shireen

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

Posted on August 26, 2016 by Shireen

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…
