Gong Xi Fa Chai : Journey to the East

Firstly apologies for being Ultra Lazy in updating this blog.

Well the month is february and its time for the chinese new year holidays again. If you are travelling by road, the ONLY destination to go during this time of year is the East cost of Malaysia. Travelling up north towards Penang or southbound towards Melaka and JB and you would surely be stuck in a horrendous traffic Jam.

Long before we had kids we went to cherating beach. Now with Hanna Jasmine and Reyza Khan being 3 and 5 years old each we thought we'd go for a road trip to Kuantan Pahang.

 

The road trip consisted of three famalies, ours, Naza's and Mawi's. (planned by the fathers and lead by Uncle Naza)

We started the trip with a convoy of three cars leaving by 7:30 AM. As expected the Jam started from the gombak highway all the way until Karak. after Karak it was smooth driving all the way to Kuantan. With some R&R stops in between, we reached The Swiss Garden Resort by around 1pm and was allowed to check-in straight into our rooms.

All in all it was a very nice retreat. Spent 3 days in Kuantan, Ate seafood, the kids had a blast playing snad castles, mandi laut, swimming in the pool. On the second day it rained the whole day so we went to the Kuantan shopping mall and caught a Lion dance show at the mall.

 

 

It was Hanna Jasmine's first time at the beach and although at first she didn't want to step on the sand, she was all ecstatic when Abah took her for a dip in the waves. Hanna couldn't contain herself and wanted to jump and go to the deep end of the beach. The waves were very strong and abah had to use all his strength to keep hanna's head above water when the big waves came in. Reyza had fun too but was big enough to handle some of the waves. Even so Abah made sure that Reyza was close or was holding on to Uncle Naza.

It was a good and much needed vacation for all the famalies. Next year perhaps we can go somewhere further :)

Splish Splash Splosh!!!!

Pictures says it all...

If I can't have it, I'll just watch it whichever ways I can!

Whatcha watching abang?
I didnt do anything mom! *giggles*
why abang is obsessed with vacuums?
Abah, can we have another one of these? :)

That's how creative Hanna is. If she is already holding the i.p.ad and Reyza tries to take it away from her, she'll just cry , scream and wail! (this is her personal alarm trigger -it will get the parents attention quickly that abang is disturbing her - smarty kid?)

If not, she'll just sit behind, side or on top just to ensure she can catch a glimpse of anything her brother is watching..!

And yes, the kids conquers the i.p.ad 100% of the time.....



Hi Mama!

#2 Syndrome...

Hanna gurl, you turn 1 year and 3 months on 31st January...

When you browse the early years of your life you might have this question in mind. "Why does abang has more pictures and entries than I do", or "why there are less entries of my baby years compared to abang."

We have to admit its mama and abahs fault. Please forgive us as we were hit by the sec.ond chi.ld syn.drome. But mama is committed this year to capture more stories about you than before.

You were a different baby, you were a strong and independent baby. Thats why abah and mama worry less about you (except when you fell sick, but you rarely fell sick as a baby).

You were so strong that you rolled over before you turned 5 months, you started to crawl all over the house and graduated it on the stairs at 8 months old (with supervision offcourse!)I think nothing can stop you than as you started to pull yourself up by 9 months and as mama predicted, you gained your confidence to walk before you turned one !

We are proud of that you are determined and very focus orientad lil baby. Eventhough you've shown some anger perhaps thats the only way you can show your frustration to your big brother that he shouldnt disturb you if you are already holding the toy first, but always remember that your big brother loves you and he was the only person at his age that could actually make you laugh so hard and you litterally rolled backwards. ! :)

Mama and abah love all of you (and future siblings). We hope we are able to provide you all with much love ,care and fun in your life and able to bring this to your own family as well..

This is for you hanna,

9 months. That long..~

We're so sorry baby gurl. Abah & mama has been procrastinating too long on our lil princess updates. To cut long story short, you have been a very active gurl.

Hanna Jasmine...Perempuan melayu terakhir...??

Hehehe...

Theme Park Visit - First Day Lunar Year

I’m sure everyone had a fulfilling long stretch holiday! Hubby and me did not plan to travel out this holiday (we’ve already got travel plans in May) , so we decided to spent first day of lunar year @ B.T.S. Where else if not at their indoor theme park!

There’s an old entry of our first time here with Reyza. He was 9 months back then, and surprisingly we also went during the lunar festive holiday too.! This time around of course we brought along our precious 3 months old daughter.

The person who enjoyed the most is probably the lil boy! He was jumping around like an excited kid (offcourse he is a kid!). He got to play everything in the kids theme park area with no restriction.

Mama this time around had to sit out from the roller coaster ride.(Abah owes mama a rollercoaster ride!)

We enjoyed ourselves to the max! Hopefully we could come again another 2 years.

Kids under 3 years enter for free. Reyza's last round of entering the theme park F.O.C.

The chubby Hanna Jasmine

"Mama, gimme my pacifier, pleaseee"
