Chocolates

"A new British survey has revealed that 9 out of 10 people like chocolate. The tenth lies."  - Robert Paul


Who doesn't like chocolate?


Chocolates in Langkawi are relatively cheaper than those sold in KL so I bought loads of them to stock up my chocolate supply at home for at least a month (Actually hubby and kiddies could finish some of the chocolates in a day). 

Let me know if you can find any of these cheaper in KL:


Cadbury bar chocolate 220g - RM8.90
Belgidor Seashell 250g - RM9.50
Daim 300g - RM15.50
Hershey's Nugget 340g - RM12.50
Ferrero Rocher 327g - RM23.90
Kinder Friends 250g - RM21.90
Kinder Bueno 16pcs - RM20.90
Choclairs 170 pcs - RM12.00
Crispy 110g - RM3.90
Reese's Peanuts 340g - RM12.50
Nougat 250g - 21.90

Perfect Treat!

Apart from sightseeings, spa treatment is one of the highlights in Langkawi Island. After a tiring island hopping and fun fishing trip, I took the opportunity to pamper myself at Sun Spa (located at Pantai Tengah). My colleague and I were picked up at the resort and were welcomed by a glass of lemon drink at the spa center. The treatment started with a 10-minute flower foot soak followed by an hour aromatherapy body massage and later a full body scrub. 

  Guess what, it only cost us RM149. 

It's just a perfect treat!

Soaked my feet in this. I love the wooden bucket.

I chose lemon grass and salt for scrub + tamarind aromatherapy for body massage 

Tea was served after the treatment.

Away from Home

I have never been away from my kiddies for more than 2 days but now I have to leave them for about a week attending a course. Here I am in a resort room all by myself facing my one and only companion, my netbook. The tv is on but I don't bother watching. 

At home, sometimes I wish I could be alone when my eldest daughter and son yelling at each other while my youngest crying and clinging to my hips trying to get my attention. 

So here I am in a room all by myself like "orang bujang". But I'm telling myself that this is no fun! 

How I wish my children could be around me at this moment and I don't mind if they were screaming, yelling or turning the room upside down or downside up. Having them around me is better than sitting here alone like "orang bujang".

Oh So Cute!

As a holder of Mothercare VIP Card, I usually receive newsletters from Mothercare for products and sales updates.

Today, I received an invitation for a Mothercare Carnival event to be held at its flagship store at Suria KLCC.

I find the photo used in the newsletter "super cute" - the kids look so adorable on a mini scooter. 

I just love the photo.

Happy Mother's Day Mama

This morning when I opened my eyes and as I turned to my left, I saw my eldest daughter, Qistina, already awaken lying on my bed facing me with her sweet smile. When I smiled back she immediately said,

"Happy Mother's Day mama". 

Then immediately she jumped off the bed and run to the next room. Less than a minute, she came back into my room and handed me a handmade mother's day card, a flower and a sand timer. After I read her mother's day wishes written in the card, I blew her a big kiss and we hug each other. The mom and daughter moment was actually witnessed by hubby and my two other younger kids. 

For mamas out there, Happy Mother's Day too. 

The Royal Wedding

I took a day off just to be a part of about 2 billion people around the globe watching the Royal Wedding live on tv. I did not missed every moment of the wedding ceremony. The wedding dress is so lovely and Kate looks so beautiful. I also admire the maid-of-honour's simple and sweet gown.

(Emmm... maybe I should go for lace baju kurung this Hari Raya)

Caricature

I've just found this site on the web and loving it. It's fun turning your family photos into caricature. http://www.caricaturesoft.com

Kara's Party Ideas

I am planning for my daughter and son's upcoming birthday party in August. They were both born in August and their age are only a year apart. I am a little obsessed with my children's birthday parties that I normally plan for months. This time I would love to throw them a circus birthday party as I know I would be able to create a wonderful atmosphere at the party with red and blue as the theme color and organise some fun carnival games.

Most of my party inspirations come from a few of my favorite blogs including Kara's Party Ideas. When I found out that Kara's Party Ideas is having a giveaway for a circus party pack worth $150, I became so excited and how I wish I could win the giveaway.

Balik Kampung

It's a long holiday this week so we decided to go back to my hubby's hometown in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. It was a long and tiring journey for "balik kampung" but the kids were very excited  to meet grandma (it took us about 10 hours of driving from KL). I think my husband was far more excited than the kids as every streets and many places there remind him of his childhood time (for the umpteenth time he announced that he went to that school everytime we pass by the primary school near his house).

The food here are so good that I lost count of my calory intake. I can't think of anywhere else to go with the kids in Kota Bharu except the beaches where we had a good time flying a kite. We managed to catch a glimpse at a bird competition held in Kota Bharu after we had our breakfast at our favorite stall. We visited a couple of buddhist temples with gigantic statue of buddha which show the trails of influence from Thailand in Kelantan.
