Dragon 2012 Chinese New Year at hometowns

Driving back was always easy in the past. But this time, jam was extremely bad. We used to travel very early in odd hours to beat the jam, but this time, hubby said we should enjoy and take our time.

Jam along the whole stretch highway from Toll at Gombak Exit till Bentong
I think [...]

Eating spree in Kuantan

I don’t think I would be able to continue loosing weight anymore, especially with so many trips during the holiday. It would be GREAT enough if I do not put on anymore weight, haha!

When we reached Kuantan by evening, we drove directly to the Teluk Cempedak because the boys said they wanted to see the [...]

Mini Traffic Learning Pathway, Taman Teruntum Kuantan

Hubby used to tell me about this place each time we go back but it was only our first time bringing the kids there, when we were back last weekend.

Kuantan local delicacies

Now that my parents in law are not around, we only go back to Kuantan about 4 times a year. Hence food is something not to be missed, each time we go back. Last weekend, we just went back to Kuantan again, for Qing Ming Prayers.
Although it is only a short weekend trip, we managed [...]

CNY 3rd: Weakest time for me, sigh!

Lousy Health
Gobbling down all the good food really comes with a price. One by one of us got sick, REAL SICK.  Not sure if it was due to the weather change, different tap water from different state or chemical from the China-imported CNY vege, we all went down with diarrhoea!
It starts off with hubby, with [...]

CNY 2nd in Kuantan

Sorry, if I have not visit your blogs (actually dying to find out what’s up during your CNY celebration). Will try to finish what we did on CNY before I hop over soon.
What is CNY if it is not about good food. Ya…in olden days, my grandma said people are so poor where they only [...]

CNY 1st in Kuantan

We reached Kuantan quite early on the Chinese New Year Eve. Dinner was ready by noon for the prayer to our ancestors, so SIL only reheat them.

On the first morning, we dressed the boys up before giving out the Ang Pow.

Pre-CNY: First time seeing such a bad flood

Thanks everyone for your sharing, for your kind words and thoughts on my previous posting. At least I know I am not alone in this madness, although I have 2x of what that rare species who you might have too at home.
Didi is behaving much better these few days, so I have less headache with [...]

Visit to Rabbit Farm, Bukit Tinggi

We hardly go back to Kuantan anymore as “aging” hubby dislike long distance driving now. The most are 3 times a year now, Chinese New Year (early of the year), Cheng Beng (mid year) and PIL’s anniversary prayer (end year).

Getting not enough from our last visit to the Rabbit Farm at Broga Semenyih, we planned [...]

First time to the sea

….for the boys, how funny, but true!
Finally we reach home after spending 4 days back to Kuantan. Wanted to come back a day earlier but decided to stay on since hubby has another day leave. Brought the boys to the beach this time, and they enjoyed the beach tremendously. Now we are back but we [...]

Have you seen Woohoo?

It is the funny movie, done by Astro during Chinese New Year 2010. Every day, Didi ask us put on the DVD himself and watch from morning till night! They watch and watch every day until Korkor also can recite some of the very funny phrases from that movie now.

Travelling with Reusable Bags

Instead of using plastic bags now, many people have head towards using reusable bags today when they are shopping and even in the wet market.

I collected several free bags and I find them very useful especially when we travel back to hometown. We no longer use our proper luggage bags as I find them too [...]

Familiar with the spot?

My favourite picture angle of the beach
Yes, we were back to Kuantan, and also for the first time, we brought the boys to have a walk at the beach. Ever since I gave birth to the boys a year ago, I have been staying home with them as they were too young [...]
