Birthday Staycation

Since it was a long weekend, I booked us in at Pan Pacific for a staycation to celebration hubby’s birthday. After mass, we checked ourselves to hotel and took a rest before heading out for dinner.

Hubby wanted a simple dinner so, we decided to dine at Marche since I am craving for Rostti… it wasn’t crowded as we arrived earlier than usual dinner time. We were given a seat after queuing for about 10 minutes. Dinner at Marche has always been good though they no longer served stingray like they used to during those days at Scotts.

After dinner, we returned to hotel and hubby was surprised by a cake kindly arranged by the hotel staff who find out that it is hubby’s birthday tomorrow during my check-in. It was really sweet of her to arrange the cake for us.

Faith was really happy to find chocolate cake placed on the side table and was excited to celebrate daddy’s birthday. She sang hubby a birthday song and refused to take shower as she wants to have picture taken in her outfit with daddy.

It was a simple birthday staycation but hubby felt special as we celebrated as a family. We will be looking forward to our additional family member next year to join us for all celebrations.

Happy birthday baby… We love you!

My Mum’s Birthday Celebration

It has been a busy week due to the continuous birthday celebration that my family is celebrating. Today, I celebrated my mum’s birthday with the company of my dear family.

I hosted the dinner at Golden Peony which is one of my mum’s favourite Chinese restaurant. As the set menu was kind of too much for us, we decided to order a-la-carte instead. After checking with everyone’s preference, we ordered some of their signature dishes. We were happy that everyone enjoyed the food we ordered and most of them given thumps up too.

Mum is extremely happy to celebrate her birthday with family members and especially when her beloved grand-daughter who sang the birthday song loudly for her. It was though a simple celebration but it meant so much for my mum as it’s another good opportunity to have the bonding session with the family.

Happy birthday mummy dearest! May the good Lord bless you always and we love you very much!

July Babies’ Birthday Celebration

July has always been a busy month for birthday celebrations. We celebrated my mother-in-law’s birthday 2 weeks ago and today, we are here again to celebrate my mum’s, my father-in-law and my hubby’s birthday.

We went to our family favorite restaurant Spring Court for this special occasion and we were happy that the staff specially made the birthday buns for us. It was nicely placed on a plate with Chinese congratulatory message for the July babies.

While the adults enjoyed the dinner, the kiddos took over the mics to entertain us with their voices. It was certainly an enjoyable dinner with good nursery rhymes by the kiddos.

During the cake cutting ceremony, the kids continue to sing the birthday song to the 3 birthday babies and that certainly added more joy to them.

Happy blessed birthday mummy dearest, Ah Pa & baby!!! Love you guys so much!

A Day At Hello Kitty Town

We somehow missed the opportunity of going to Hello Kitty Town on our previous family get away in June but this time, we are back just for this theme park.

Faith was really overexcited this morning as she knew that we will be heading to Hello Kitty Town. We set off early and when we arrived at Puteri Harbour, we went straight to the theme park. The theme park is really small though it consisted of 4 levels.

We went to the Hello Kitty Town which was located on the 2nd floor and man… it was just one level of fun with a small tea cup ride near the entrance. After taking the ride, we walked around and went into Hello Kitty house where Faith was really happy and she kept asking us to build her room almost similar to the ones she saw.

After touring the house, we were just in time to catch the My Melody for a photo session. Since it was a weekday and non-peak season, it wasn’t crowded at all. The queue was short and brief. While waiting for the next photo-session with Hello Kitty & Daniel, we went to level 3 to watch Thomas & Friends show which lasted about 20 minutes. Faith knew about Thomas but not a great fan so, she wasn’t as excited as the other kiddos.

We took lunch break since the other shows and photo sessions were in the afternoon. We walked to the nearby Ajisan to have our lunch and went back for the shows. First we went to have a photo-taking with Hello Kitty & Daniel and went to the activity room while waiting for another show. The activity room allowed the kiddos to decorate their cookies and making badges which was pretty fun for Faith. She was excited to decorate cookies though she made quite a mess out of it…

We went to get our seat at level 3 waiting for Barney show and Faith was really excited to see her favrouite ribena overdosed dinosaur! Hahaahahah…. She was all up and jumpy when Barney came out and she joined in the dance and songs when the host invited the kids to the front line. To me, I think Barney show is the best show as there were more interaction compared to both Thomas & Hello Kitty which was just too boring for both Faith & I.

We went to check ourselves in at Traders after a fun day at the theme park. Right after settling down, Faith suggested that she wants to swim instead of taking a nap. We got changed and went to the pool which wasn’t crowded in the late afternoon. We were happy to see Faith enjoying her swim though she could only kick and swim around with the help of the float but we could see improvement that she was able to kick better.

As for dinner, we went to dine at Brussels (a German Café) but served pretty good food. We ordered pasta for our dinner as Faith preferred pastas. While waiting for our food to be served, our little one fell in deep sleep and she refused to wake up for her dinner. All we could do was to return to our room after dinner and hopefully she will wake up to have some food before she calls it a night.

It was simply a fun but tiring day for her and she can’t wait to be back again.

My Little Ballerina

Faith was really excited to be able to wear her ballet costume for class after 3 lessons. She was somehow upset about wearing her own clothes initially for class but today, she was overjoyed!

Korean Luncheon

This would be my first time having traditional Korean food. My boss, being almost half Korean, brought us to lunch at Jang Won located at Chinatown. Though he has never been there, he thought it would be a good opportunity to try it out together.

This would somehow be our monthly department gathering and of course, we included the trainee from Japan, Tanaka-san and Linda who did his apartment issues. We totally left the ordering to my boss as he would know best what to pick.

For their starters, there were many small dishes as appetizers and man… they can be refilled. I would say that the starters tasted pretty good especially the kimchi…. (I am not a fan but this certainly tasted good). He ordered gyoza, pan fried egg, pan fried tang hoon, steamed egg, kimchi beef and of course their hot pot as our main…

The dishes he ordered simply tasted good and I really enjoyed the hotpot with their Korean instant noodles which was really QQ!!!

As lunch is too short to enjoy more food, I guess we will be back again for dinner soon...
