Holidays Locally



Come school holidays, I will usually take my kids for a holiday locally. This time I plan to visit the Legoland. Ever since I heard about it, I have wanted to visit it. 

I have to book a hotel room in JB but I have been idling on it. So yesterday, I decided to search for a good bargain hotel in JB. Finally I got the Tune Hotel.

I was filling in the form online up to the stage where I was needed to submit it. I hold on for a short while. Confirmed with my kids if they really wanted to go. The answer was positive. Next I had to call my husband. He's the toughest hurdle that I have to jump over.

Yesterday, we worked only half day so my husband was somewhere in town with his friends. I called his number. He answered. Through his tone, I knew that he's under control. Sometimes he can be very harsh in tone.

I just simply told him that we would be going to JB for a few days to visit the Legoland. He asked who else would be going. I told him and he said ok.

Next, I submitted the form and all's confirmed. We will be going for a holiday soon..

      Ever since the opening of Legoland, my children have hint me several times to bring them there.

      But the distance to reach there, it's quite tiring to think of it, let alone driving all the way there.

Twin bananas

Today this cute little darling visited me. His grandparents brought him over for the very first time. He's so cute as he smiled readily. I was tempted to carry him and he was fine with that. Some babies don't like strangers.  I carried him and kissed his cheek several times..So adorable. Without hesitation, I gave him an ang pow. his granddad put him on the table and I took a shot of him.. When I went back home in the evening, I realized that the bunch of bananas at the altar has ripen. I brought the bunch to my shop and shared with my people. There was this particular twin bananas and my worker wanted them. She peeled them and I could see that they were adjoined all the way down. Well, old wives tale has it that those ladies who ate them would give birth to twins in future..
