Was sitting around earlier when I remembered that some of you probably have not seen my bedroom door... :)

Eat With Your Family Day

It was 'Eat with Your Family Day' on Friday, 26th May 2006. My company so graciously let us off at 5pm, an hour earlier than normal, to let us go home and have dinner with our family.

So we did. since hubby was working, I asked mom to whip up anice dinner so that we all could eat together that day. Reached mom' s place ard 7pm (left office at abt 5.30 to complete some things) and was glad to see that everyone was there.

Ours is a small family, just mom, me, nadia and mamat. besides the 2 kids, nadia's hubby and dear of course. but even so, it is not always easy to get everyone together. I'm glad they came up with such initiatives to remind us of the importance of family. So hope u guys had a great 'Eat with your family day' too. If not, hey dun wait for it to come. Go and make it happen! After all, nothing in this world matters as much as family.

I'm Back!

I'm back... last night. Reached home safely at about 9.30pm. Alhamdulillah.

The trip with the family was great fun! Certainly a lesson for me when I bring my own kids for a holiday in the future. The whole troop was there for the KL/Genting trip. There were 9 of us. Me, Hubby, MIL, Mak, Nadia, Mamat, Nenek, Naqib and Raziq. Two nihgts at Genting and two nights at KL.

At Genting, we had fun. Went there in style on board Transtar's First Class coach. We felt as though we were on board the airplane as the bus came complete with tv (for movies, mtv and videogames), a massage chair, a meal and a steward. The 7-hr journey didn't feel as long as it should when u're being pampered so nicely.

We checked into First World hotel. Had expected to get additional beds for our two rooms, but alas, they've run out of beds. Had to make do with two super-single beds in two rooms. As u can imagine, it was a squeeze that night. The first night was spent wondering around and plannng for the next day. Went to the Snow World as well. Although bigger and more fun than snow city in Singapore, we felt it was colder in Snow City. After that, we had dinner at Marrybrown's and went to bed quite early.

We took the rides on the second day. At RM$49 per adult for indoor and outdoor games, we tried to make it worth it by taking as many rides as we could. Roller coasters, boat rides, kiddy rides... u name it, we had it. We also had time to take the kiddy rides that we sat on when I was 5 yr old. Took loads of photos... will download over the weekends.

The next day, we rented a van to take us down to KL. The weather seems promising and we reached just after 3pm. Checked in to the Agora Hotel at Bukit Bintang, KL's shopping district. Though the hotel wasn't fantastic, the location more than made up for it. We were practically surrounded by shopping malls! So what else can we do besides shop, shop, shop!

Among the places we went to were Sungei Wang Plaza, Bukit Bintang Plaza, Petaling Street, Masjid India, Berjaya Times Square and Lot 10. Thought of going to KLCC too for them to have a look But, not enough time and even wif we managed to, our legs couldn't take it. As it is, mom and nenek had to ask for time out for a couple of times.. hee! Sorry both!

I must tell u abt the materials/kain i bought for Hari Raya. I like it so much! I just hope I'd remember to send it to the tailor in time!

Overall, everyone had a good time. For more pictures on the trip, click here.
