A Summary


Just a summary of what went on today. Waited for my package to arrive, then we went out for a late afternoon lunch. Walked over to The Curve (Christmas decor there was just incredibly beautiful) for a little bit more of christmas shopping and while we were there, took the little one for a haircut. Believe it or not, the stylist did an excellent job! From now on, will not under estimate those "10 minute haircut" salons anymore =)Decided to then take the boys for some fun on some mini wheels at the 1st floor of the mall. Paid RM3 for 5 mins per kid. Worth every penny as they had so much fun. On the way back to our car, we ordered some take away for dinner and headed home for some packing to be done for our family trip this weekend.

Phew! All in a days work =)) Night, night!

Port Dickson & Malacca

The beginning of a new year is just around the corner, so the trip to Port Dickson & Malacca was what we needed to rejuvenate and refresh ourselves for yet another exciting year ahead. The drive there was smooth with only light traffic and it only took us an hour and a half to get there. Finding the apartment wasn't too difficult either as we had stayed there during one of our previous trips to PD.

Simply delicious and very affordable seafood


After spending 2 nights in PD, we drove south to Malacca. Famous for not only it's rich history and it's Peranankan culture, Malacca is also known for it's popular night market along Jonker Street in chinatown and it's delicious food.

Spring Cleaning


Went out last night for some christmas shopping and I came across a store selling those cute "LITTLE MISS" tee's. Now I don't know about you, but I've always been a huge fan of those. So I decided to take a minute to quickly browse through, hoping that I'd find something I liked. Low and behold, I saw one with "LITTLE MISS TIDY" in purple. How appropriate! It's not that I'm a neat freak or some obsessive compulsive cleaning machine but I do like to keep things fairly neat and orderly in my household. In fact, I found it to be quite therapeutic... be it cleaning or re-arranging the furniture.

However, that wasn't the case today... Far from it! I had only intended to re- organize the top shelf of one of the cupboards to make room for some personal items, but before I knew it, I got carried away. My hands went into automode and was already dragging everything out from under all the lower shelves. It never really occured to me just how much stuff our little family have accumulated at our new home up till now. Prior to the move, we've already cleared a whole lot of items which were in top condition eg: toys,clothes etc. Perhaps this is another good time to do the same.... something like a garage sale... Sounds fun to me =)
