Mini Break

We went for a mini break to Kuala Lumpur (KL), Malaysia...
I was born in KL actually... but came to SG when I was still a little kid.

KL has changed so much! Its so much like Singapore and more...
This trip is too short for my liking, I would have stayed at least 1 more day but dh has to get back to work so no choice...

We stayed in the Impiana KLCC hotel, its abt 2yrs old and quite ok other than the noise from upstairs on our 2nd night. The next time I choose a hotel in Malaysia, I will choose 1 that comes with carpeted floor!

Went to Aquaria where Kady enjoyed herself & KLCC on the 1st day.
Had dinner in the Hotel itself... think the restaurant is called Tonka Beans.
I definitely won't recommend anyone to eat there. The food is not tasty and what's worse? Its cold! Good thing we didn't have to pay for it since its part of the hotel promotional rate... so its free. Breakfast choice/ spread was good tho'.

2nd day we went to 1 Utama, shopped a little, had lunch in the shopping ctr itself which was quite good. Went back to the hotel to rest then meet my relatives for Dinner... which was fantastic! *slurp*

After dinner, we went for a short stroll at a newly opened shopping ctr called Pavilion... its full of branded stuff so naturally we didn't manage to get anything.

3rd day - we went to Sungei Wang... again nothing much here as the place has already changed to a shopping ctr that caters/ sells stuff for teens/ youngsters. Thereafter, we drove to dh's hometown to celebrate Father's Day with his dad and drove back to Singapore.

By the time we reached home, we were both dead beat!

A little Toot on Kady

---

Kady's CC is organizing or rather producing a Music Album for their centre and had an audition.

If the children passed the audition, they will be required to attend a 10 week Music/ Singing lessons (2rs each time) on Sunday. Initially - we were thinking so troublesome, every Sunday gotta bring her back to school for 10 weeks... so didn't sign the consent form for her to go for the Audition...

But her class teacher called and ask us if she could attend... so dh said ok.
& guess what? She passed the Audition!!!

So now, effective next Sunday onwards, she gotta go for the singing lessons... She wont get paid... but at least the lessons are FOC!

Bust my budget!

I've done so much shopping lately!
Gosh... I'll be so afraid to look at my credit card bill when it arrives! :P

Bought a nursing bra from Jshoppers.com which I love and would probably order more...
Panties for Kady which she is more willing to wear these days. :)
some jewellery which I'll keep for B'day presents for Godma & Mum.
some tops for Vera...
also did more shopping at kohls.com on some bodysuits for Vera & dresses for Kady.
some lingerie from maidenform.com
more clothing from Pumpkin Patch & Mothercare when I was at Vivo City
& a few more pieces when I was at the Motherhood Fair today at Expo.
I better exercise some self control! :p

Oh, we went to this new HK cafe at Anchorpoint abt 1.5 weeks ago...
food was good. Service excellent!
hubby bought the membership for $35 & with this you get $15 voucher which can be used on your b'day month which we utilized immediately since May was my b'day Mth.
They also gave us a bottle of Chardonnay for B'day person.
$10 voucher which can be used (we used this voucher the following week! :) )
Another voucher for 1 for 1 main course.
& also, everytime you dine there, you get 10% dollar value store into the membership card which you can utilize when you want to.
Quite a good deal, I say!

Today, we went to Orchard Hotel for their Dinner Buffet & didn't pay a single cent! :P
Why? 'cos hubby bought me the ala carte membership and it came with the voucher for 2 free buffet dinner. Kady get to eat FOC since she's below 5...
Food was quite ok. Had loadsa prawns and crabs! :)
Kady enjoyed the Durian puree the most since Durian is her all time fav food!

Took some pics of Vera & below are 2 of my fav shots of her...
Resolution isn't that fantastic as I took the pics with my mobile.

A lil update on Kady

Ever since Vera has been born, we noted a change in Kady.

Somehow, she has seemed to be more confident and less shy around strangers.
She used to be pretty shy and would hide behind hubby or myself when strangers want to talk to her or even our friends...

But now, she will automatically talk to people. Especially waitresses! LOL
She will ask for stuff from the waitresses or even ask them - "That's my mei-mei... Is she cute?" while pointing to Vera...

Quite cute actually! :)
