Day 2 – 31 Dec 2011

Day 2 of our vacation was spent mostly on shopping. First stop was Isetan where the girls and I bought a pair of FitFlops. We have heard that they are very comfy and Im glad I bought them. We had late breakfast or brunch at Nando’s Lot 10 and walked to KLCC. From KLCC we went back to Pavilion and by the time we reached back to the hotel, it was almost 7pm. I was really tired so I did not join the husband and kids for the new years celebration. They went down to the packed Bukit Bintang whilst I slept *yes I was not in the best of health at that time*

Ok enjoy the pictures.

Happy Birthday to the Love of My Life

Happy 47th Birthday to my beloved husband.

We decided to surprise the husband and had planned it about a week ago. Told the husband that since his birthday fell on the weekend, why not check into a hotel. Our first choice was at Mangrove Paradise since we have not been there before but when we called them, they said that they were fully booked and can put us on waitlist. When I asked them when I can get the confirmation, the girl answered “on the day itself”. Yeay right, who would want a last minute confirmation? So I decided to call Rizqun. We booked the 2 bedroom Suite and another Executive Deluxe for my mum and dad.

We checked in around 4pm on Saturday, 28th January. The plan was that Muizz and Mira will get ready with the preparations whilst the rest of us went to Tahlil at Bapa Bunut’s. The 1032s and my brothers were supposed to get ready in the hotel suite at least by 9pm. We left Bunut at around 9.15pm. I think we arrived at the hotel sometime around 9.40pm. We walked up to the door, I was in front and basically could here whispering from inside. I opened the door and lights were out. The husband peeked into the room and it took him a while before he entered…. Surprise!!! hahaha… the expression on his face show that he did not expect this.. Thank you to all who came especially my dad, mum, brothers, sisters-in-law, brother-in-law, nephews, nieces and also baby Eva…

Here are some of the pictures of 28th January 2012 at Rizqun International Hotel.

Beautiful Eva

Thank you once again to everyone on making the surprise a success and to my beloved husband.. Happy Birthday love you always…

Day 1 – 30 Dec 2011

Salam all..

 

This is a long overdue post. I hope that I can finish all the days. We went for a family vacation last 30th Dec till 06th Jan. Tickets were booked spontaneously when I got home from work one day sometime end of November. I just browsed Royal Brunei Airlines, Malaysia Airlines, Singapore Airlines and last but not least Air Asia looking for best fares but most flights were either full or mahal. I wanted to go to Singapore but the only affordable fares I could find for 6 pax was the flight to KL via Air Asia and that also was the one departing on 30 Dec. School re-eopens on 3rd Jan which means extra holidays for Ina and Mira. Luckily Muizz will be on leave so in the end, it was decided that we depart on 30th Dec and come back on 4th Jan. Once flight confirmed, quickly booked hotel in KL. I still prefer Park Royal Hotel’s Family Suite and so alhamdulillah there were rooms available. Few days after flights were booked, I don’t know why but I again checked the flight from KL to SIN. Around BND100 per pax… not bad. So.. again booked KL-SIN on 02th Jan, just a day trip, leaving early in the morning 7.05m from KL and returning the same night 11.25pm. Main place to go was USS since the boys (husband and Muizz) belum pernah kesana. Again a couple of days later, I kept thinking, mengalih jua ni if day trip and of course we will not have enough time to go round other places. Its not often that we get to go to Singapore. So this got me clicking away again and in the end decided to stay overnight in Singapore and extend our stay in KL for another two days i.e until 06th Jan 2012. Alang-alang holiday, a couple of days extra would not hurt:) So thats the story of how our family vacation started. The kids and I looked forward to the day since the day we booked the flights:)

Our flight on 30th December was at 3.55pm and so we went to the airport at around 1.30pm. Boboy, Zara, Imran and Mudrik were there to send us off. We boarded Air Asia and safely arrived LCCT nearly 7pm. Our usual driver ‘Abang Hassan’ picked us up and brought us to our hotel.

After checking in, we freshened up and couldn’t wait to start *exploring*. We decided to walk over to Pavilion and have our dinner there.  After lunch, it was already past 9pm and the shops were closing. So we just walked around Pavilion quickly, dropped by at the amazing new Sephora store but did not buy anything since it was late and closing… menyesal inda bali coz we did not get a chance to go back to Sephora during our stay *huhuhu* Anyway, this post is going to be loaded with lots and lots of pictures so beware…. I am uploading most of the pictures taken from my Digital Camera:)

Post Office

Salam all,

Just a quick post on the Postal Service here. Its not something new when you hear a complain about letters, parcels either being late delivered or not delivered at all.

I ordered something from US on 18th October 2011 and I just recievd it today 26th January 2012 in a very “sad” looking condition.


Clockwise from top left: 1) Posted on 18.10.11; 2) Received at MPC on 06.01.2012; 3) Card posted from MPC on 19.01.2012 and received at home address on 25.01.2012; 4) Xollected parcel today 26.01.2912 in a very sad and tired condition.

Another complain I have is this…

I came home during lunch hour and found this… There’s my post box nicely fitted next to the door bell but looks like he just threw the letter from his motorbike and left..

So who is to blame here?

… till my next post
