Today is the second day Annabelle went to school. I just left her near the gate, on duty teachers were encouraged all the parents let the newbie walked by themselves to the assembly hall. I just saw her strolling her pink colour Barbie school bag towards the hall.

I promised Annabelle that I will come in the recess time to check on her, how is she doing. She is having fried noodles today, as yesterday she was having fried kuey teow.

Happy for her ^^.

Annabelle 1st Day Primary1 2 Jan 2014

Today is Annabelle first day in school. I am glad that her Daddy came and witnessed this important day of hers. Daddy fetched her to school, as I need to take half day leave in the afternoon for this day.

We just accompanied her to Chee Wen the big hall. She was with others new students queuing up in front of the auditorium hall and waited for their turns for assembly.

After the assembly, they will be guided to their own classes. Daddy even took a photo of her new form teacher 2E, Miss. Lim. Just in case, she forgot how is her form teacher looks like XXD.

At the mean while, all the parents were directed to the Auditorium to attend a briefing which is organised by the Parents Teachers Association of the school to update and given the latest information on the school, ministry of education related matters.

Daddy and I were going back after Annabelle went to her class, and we came back again during her recess time, to check on the canteen catering food and to make sure she knows where and how to get her snacks during recess time.

I know that she is most happy because can see Daddy here with her on her first day of school. I hope she will enjoy her school days, just like I did during I was her age.

A Christmas Gift 25 Dec 2013

He still have a little Christmas Gift for me after we have apart…

Every year, it is being in the family traditions that, he will buy something for every one of us as the Christmas presents during the festive seasons.

Especially both Issac and Annabelle, they really love when it is near Christmas, they know that definitely they will be having Christmas presents every time when they wake up and will find their presents under the Christmas tree.

This year, I know that he definitely will buy something as both kids Christmas presents but I really did not expect anything from him for me. Our relationship is different now. We are no longer husband and wife, but relationship is being parents for our children.

After he drop by and pass the Christmas presents for both children, he gave me this – a big mug filled with Ferrero Rocher chocolates.

The other day, I saw him bought a pair of watches. I presume is his and hers Christmas presents, and is not for me. I felt sad and a bit disappointed. Any how, I have to accept the facts.

He said, “I am thinking of buying this mug for you. After you had the chocolates, at least this Santa Clause mug can be your coffee mug. I still know you are a coffee addict.” He smiled at me.

I just thanked him. All this is not important to me anymore, the most important to me is, he still remember our lovely children. I know both Issac and Annabelle love him and miss him very much…

5 Stones SS2 Day Out

Due to Aunty Joyce is on leave on the Christmas holidays season, thus Mummy have to take care of both Issac and Annabelle. I brought both kids to work. Mei Ling too, bring her daughter come to work as well. The children were so happy of being together and play together.

These few days, Jessie kept on mentioning a condominium which she bought years ago, had been received the keys lately. She said the environment is really suitable for the family, and it was designed to promote more ‘inclusive’ experience, which the concept of it, offers a modern day village of your own, with features or facilitates that encourage interaction with the community that surrounds one living and shares life’s experience.

The condominium she was mentioning about, is called Five Stones, which located at SS2. After lunch time, she drove us all together with the children to the condominium and shown to us the environment of the newly completed residence. We love the place very much as the greenery of the garden.

The Garden - so elegant in its simplicity - beckons you to come out from your apartment and stroll along the shaded canopy walk of Angsana trees, to sit and to chat. A black granite bridge connects one end of the garden to the other.

The tranquillity and interactivity of an exquisitely designed garden by renowned landscape designer, Dr. Colin Okashimo, and the inspirational artworks by Britain's leading multimedia artist – David Hiscock – adorning the Porte coheres, lift lobbies and selected common areas.

David Hiscock is regarded as one of the 30 top photographers of the last 30 years, and has worked with Donna Karan, Sir Paul McCartney, Mick Jagger, Harvey Nichols, Hyatt Hotels and Nike.

As night falls, the garden comes aglow with imaginative lighting themes that create a magical ambience. Pockets of illumination by the outdoor park lamps light up the meditative benches. The same granite bridge now cuts across the garden like a ray of light.

Near the Villa towers, suspended 'moon' lights cast soft shadows over the "Found Stones", whereas at the far corner of the garden, simulated 'campfire' lighting surrounds the "River Stones" sculptures, inviting children and adults alike to gather around.

Located at the edge of Five Stones, at an area designated as the "active" zone, lies The Clubhouse. At the top-most level, a 14-table multi-function hall extends to the terraces, allowing the host and guests alike to take in a spectacular view of the tree-lined riverside promenade. Below it, lies a haven for fitness enthusiasts - where a dynamic gym, basketball court and two badminton courts breathe energy into the tranquil environment.

Having dinner at Nando’s USJ Taipan. Besides the chicken, I ordered a mushroom soup. Both children really like mushroom soup.

What made the Nando’s so special to them, is that the soup comes with a huge palm size garlic bread, that made both happiest kids in the world!

Annabelle said, “Mummy, the bread is so tasty together with the mushroom soup! it is yummy! I love it!”

Happy to see that both love it so much!

Legoland Malaysia 14 Dec 2013

This is our 2nd trip to Legoland, as it had just opened the Water Park recently. This time around, we did not take much photos as our main intention is the water park.

Unable to take much photos in the Water Park because our camera is not water proof. We just took a photo in front of the Water Park entrance and the Theme Park main entrance.

We had our breakfast at the famous Hua Mui Restaurant for its Hainan style American breakfast and the Hainan coffee. The food is really tasty and good. After that, we headed to our destinations.

The LEGOLAND® Water Park enthrals with over 20 slides in varying lengths and 70 LEGO® models, including a 312-foot curving track that plunges riders into a watery pit.

Beach-goers can indulge in the familiarity of the LEGO® Wave Pool and catch a gentle wave or simply cool off in this perfectly sized wave pool where the waves are just big enough for all ages to enjoy.

Or float lazily down the Build-A-Raft River, as each individual is encouraged to design their own craft out of soft bricks.

Tides turn with the Joker Soaker, a fun and interactive playground with various lengths, heights and types of slides that offer something different for every member of the family. Guests can wade in the surrounding pool and be surprised with a torrential spill from a 300-gallon bucket torrential spill.

Or the Imagination Station, where children pit self-fashioned dams, bridges, and cities against aquatic bombardment. And, so much more!

I did not play much on the slides as Annabelle was so afraid on to try on the slides, only both the father and son were having so much fun on the slides! I do enjoy the lazy float.

We spent almost 3 hours at the Water Park, then we came out and change to our dry clothing and heading to the Theme Park.

We just do a quick walk sight seeing this time. As last August we just came, compared to last time, this time we took less photos. The sky starting to rain when we were almost done here.

We drove back to Johor Bahru city centre Jalan Tan Hiok Nee for our favourite beef noodles there. So happened there is some cultural festival was organised there.

It was so interesting seeing the banners with printed human sketch figures on it, and it were placed on the pavements with the colourful paints.

After we went back to hotel ad took a rest in the afternoon. Evening we drove out again and had our dinner at the Orang Asli Village for seafood dinner.

Overall this is a great theme park outing, just a bit disappointed as we unable to take more photos in the Water Park…

Hope there will be next trip here again…
