It's the New Year.....

Came back from Msia on Tuesday and it was quite fun. But now, the new year have just started and although it's only the 4th day of the year, it seems like there is just so much to be done....

Anyway, when we left for KL on Sat, lil princess was just so happy. We arrive into KL at 6+ in the evening and when she saw Uncle Simon, she quickly run into his arms and called loudly Gong Gong. Funny thing is, she prefers him to Aunt Karen. Well, I guess she knows that Uncle Simon dotes on her alot and after we settled down, he brought us to one ulu place for dinner. I've been there before and man, the food is realli good!!! But too bad it's in the industrial area and not in the town area. When we arrived, hubby asked if the food is good and I told him that when I said it's good, it's good. Period. The thing about our family is, we know how to suss out good food and will not fail to recomend it to friends and relatives. So after stuffing my face with all the yummy food, hubby turned around said that the food is realli good. But too bad they do not have a branch in S'pore. Hahaha. If they do have it, I don't think the standard would be the same. After dinner, we went home to rest coz on Sunday, we are going to shop the whole day!!!

On Sunday morning, when I got up, lil princess got up too. So after my shower, I brought her to the playground for her to run around. When she had enuff fun, we went out for breakfast. After breakfast, we rested for a while, and lil princess took her bath, preparing to go out. Uncle Simon brought us to this huge shopping mall, called 1 Utama. It's damn huge as they have got a new wing and an old wing. While walking around, hubby saw that Bossini was having a sale, which all items are 50% off. So we went in to see and he bought himself 2 shirts for RM89. That is like only S$40. It's realli cheap as each shirt cost RM 89. So he was pretty pleased with himself for getting a good deal. After that we walked around for a while before going to a restuarant to eat. Hubby told me not to each so much but I told him that my purpose for coming in is to eat, eat and eat. So he have no choice but to keep quiet. After lunch, we shopped somemore and this time, I walked into the Padini boutique and bought myself a shirt for only RM 71.10, which is like only S$31. The thing is, they do not have this store in Singapore so everytime when I'm in KL, I would only buy the clothes from there. It's not a matter of being cheap but they have got my size and cutting so why waste money at other stores? After all the shopping, we headed back home to rest for awhile before heading down to Uncle Tony & Uncle Paul's coffee shop. (FYI, Uncle Simon is daddy's 2nd brother while Uncle Paul is daddy's youngest brother. Uncle Tony is Aunt Mary's hubby, who by the way, is daddy's cousin.) So when we arrive at the shop, we ordered mine and every one's all time fav - KL Hokkien Mee. For those who do not know what KL Hokkien Mee is, it's a dish that is being fried with thick yellow noodles with black sauce, veg and meat. And to top it off, deep fried pork fat. Yes, it's that sinful and that good. When hubby tried, he could not believe that it tasted so damn good. Hahaha, I think hubby is going to be like me, a foodie pig. When dinner was finished, we crossed over to TESCO, which is a giant hypermart. When I say giant, I mean it. Me and hubby literally went gaga over the stuff coz they were so cheap. Like that diapers, which only cost S$12 and wipes, S$3. So after shopping, we headed back to Uncle Simon's place to do our countdown. When midnite strike, we wished each other happy new year. Lil princess was still wide awake until we have to chase her into the room to sleep.

Monday morning came and when lil princess got up, the first thing she said was "playground". Well, I got up also and changed her but told her that we will only go playground after breakfast. So we went out to have our breakfast and after that, went back to rest a while. My cousin, Stephanie, brought her out to the playground while I still in to do Sudoku. It's quite interesting as it reali makes me use my grey cells. So a while, I got up and called her back into the house for her bath and we went down to Times Square. Upon arriving at Times Square, there were just so many levels that I wonder is that a shopping center or an office. There are at least 10 levels of shops and one huge amusement park in the centre itself. When lil princess saw the huge park, she wanted to go in and play but I promise her that the next trip, I will spend the whole day there. She was not happy but she understood as we can't spend one whole day there and not shop. So after staying there for 20 mins to let her look around, we walked around Times Square before heading over the Sungei Wang Plaza. The place still looks the same, packed with people as always. After staying there for a while, we headed back to rest. It is quite convinent as the there is a train station in front of the plaza. So it's quite a good way to get around KL town.

On Tuesday morning, we got up, drove down to PJ town for breakfast. After having a damn good breakfast, we went back to Uncle Simon's place to pack and let lil princess play at the playground for the last time. Then we left for S'pore after saying our goodbyes. But we made a short detour to Aunt Linda's place as we got news that Grand Uncle in Sabah have passed away due to stroke and Dad wanted to find out more. So we drop by her place and talked for abt 1/2 hr before going off. On the journey back, lil princess was playing and I was slowly nodding off but she kept calling me, "Mummy, wake up!". After trying to stay awake for 10 mins, lil princess jsut dozed off, so did I.

We reached back Spore abt 6+ in the evening and surprise! there was no jam at all. I guess everyone is afriad to go in due to the floods but as long as you don't travel by the old road, it shld not be a problem. Overall, we had a great new year in KL and I can't wait to go back in again. This time to do my own shopping, and that is going to be in Feb. I will be going in wz Jas and for 3 whole days, we will just eat and shop....Hmm...maybe can get my uncle to drive us to that ulu place for dinner.....
