This was the given itinerary by Jewel Tours, the agent we engaged during our recent trip to Hanoi. When time permits, I will blog about our trip in detail later on :) Our convoy had 7 adults & 3 children under 12 years old. We had a good experience with the tour as the tour guide put into consideration that we had children in our group. He tried to accommodate and move some of the visits around to suit the timing of the children, which I thought was a thoughtful act. Overall, we had fun!</div>

morning (approximately 06:30 hrs) arrival at <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lao Cai</b>, the border town to Yunnan, China. The journey starts with
a 38 km drive on winding roads up the mountains to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sapa</b>, located approx. 1,500 m above sea level. On clear days you
can see the highest mountain of Vietnam, the Fansipan. After breakfast at the
hotel, drive from <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sapa town down</b> to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Lao Chai village</b>. Views of the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Muong Hoa Valley</b> and magnificent
surroundings of mountains and rice terrace fields can be seen from this road.

Dao) are likely to be met, and there are stalls along the way that serve tea,
fruits and sweets.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>Soon after turning
off the main road and taking a local path, we will arrive in the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Black H’mong village of Lao Chai</b>, where
you will experience the daily life of the villagers. Continue walking from Lao
Chai to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Ta Van village</b>, where the <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Zay</b> hill tribes live. Here you take a
rest and enjoy a delicious lunch prepared by your local guide in a local
house.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>After lunch, continue walking to
the meeting point for your transfer back to <b style="mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;">Sapa town</b>.<span style="mso-spacerun: yes;"> </span>The rest of the
day is at leisure. Discover Sapa town on your own, its bustling market, the
colourful dresses of the ethnic people, tea and coffee shops as well as the
local life in this mountain town. Accommodation at hotel in Sapa.</span><span lang="VI" style="color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt;"><o:p></o:p></span><br />

date back to the 10th century when it originated in the Red River Delta area of
northern Vietnam. The farmers in the region celebrated festivals and harvests
by performing this unique art form. Learning to manipulate the puppets is
usually a tradition that is passed on as a family secret. It takes a great deal
of skill and because the puppeteer’s hands are underwater, it is easy for them
to hide their methods. The fascinating part is that the central stage is below
the water line, and the puppeteers stand in the waist-deep water. A rattan
curtain hides them, but they can see the stage and the audience through the
bamboo slat</span><span style="background: white; color: black; font-family: Verdana; font-size: 10.0pt; mso-ansi-language: EN-US;">s. Overnight in Hanoi. <o:p></o:p></span></div>

So this year, we decided to make him a costume. *in a very last min manner*</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We wanted it to be simple so we chose his favourite bus character... Tayo. Daddy sprayed painted a cardboard box. For the headlights, eyes and mouth, we printed it on sticker paper, cut it out and then just adhere it on the cardboard box. Black sugar paper is used as windows and finally, used circle cutter to cut on black and white card stock to make the wheels. Punch some holes and tied a ribbon so we can hang them over Lucas.</div>

But, as expected, during the event, Lucas was cranky even though he manage to get some sleep abit before the event. He just wouldn't want to wear it. Also the crowd was massive. So much larger than we expected. We saw a lot of superheros & princess elsa :) Seeing the crowd grab sweets like "piranhas" at each stop actually scared me. I think Lucas was shocked too. As the crowd moved on to higher floors, suddenly Lucas asked to wear his costumes. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
We quickly grabbed the camera and took some pics with him and his costume. He started smiling again. Fuh!</div>

We walked through tall grass, we walked through a river, snow storm, mud & even through a thick forest... and then we ran away from the big big bear! It was so much fun playing with imagination... Yes, we literally ran around the room, tip toe into the cave (our wardrobe) while the YouTube video was playing... It was a picture book from a classic children's picture book by Michael Rosen & Helen Oxenbury. Check it out from the link below...<br />

The farm is open everyday from 10am-5pm. Admission is FREE.<br />
The Farm provided us with grass to feed the goats, so, No, we don't have to bring our own grass. *in case you are wondering*<br />
<br />
<span style="text-align: center;">Lucas was really excited to visit the farm, in the morning, he waved his grandpa good bye and we made our journey to Balik Pulau. </span><span style="text-align: center;">On the way there, hubby's remarks was, I used to see goats running around our kampung, now lucas have to go to a farm to see goats...! Hahaha. Quite true actually :P Soon, kids will only learn about animals from Farms or Zoos.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span>
<span style="text-align: center;">We arrived around 10.15am, the weather was a bit cloudy but it was a good day.</span><br />

Well, first impression of the farm is, it isn't as BIG as I have imagined... Maybe, my idea of farm was more of a free range kinda farm, like those in Australia! :D but although it has a strong goat poo stench, it is in my opinion still a very clean place to bring the kids to.</div>

Second impression of the farm, adult goats are really greedy! They grab your grass at any chance they have, and they are pretty strong too. It is advisable to have adults to help the kids during feeding session as the goats tend to pull quite hard and kids might fall or get hurt.</div>

Yup Kids... Lucas and Company (the Kam sisters, Abigail & Annabelle) :)<br />
<br />
We had breakfast together at McDonalds before heading off our lil group trip to the Butterfly Farm.<br />
The farm is open all year round (including on public holidays), that means, their operation hours are from<br />
<b> Monday to Sunday</b><br />
<b> 9am - 6pm (Last entry 5pm)</b><br />
<br />
Entrance fees are<br />
<b>Adult : RM27</b><br />
<b>Kids (4 - 12yo) : RM15</b><br />
<br />
If you are a MyKad Holder, fees are as follow :<br />
<b>Adult : RM18</b><br />
<b>Kids (4 -12yo) : RM10</b><br />
<br />
Upon entering to the farm, it felt like we were at tinkerbell's fairyland. There were hundreds on butterflies roaming freely and gliding gracefully everywhere. Well, a huge butterfly landed on Lucas and he literally screamed his heart out! We had to carry him around then on... @.@<br />

Walking around the farm during mid day maybe quite a sweaty affair... it's so hot, we were practically soaking in sweat. Luckily, there was a mini theatre showing a movie on insects and it's air conditioned. </div>

<br />
I've been wanting to share this for awhile now, but never came to it. Every weekend, we make it a point to spend some family time together. Penang actually has some interesting places to hangout with kids without costing a bomb. :) Nothing beats going out and play!<br />
Here are a list of some of them.<br />
<br />
<b>Penang Youth Park (Taman Permainan Mudah Akses)</b><br />
There's a new park in town and it's at located at youth park. This park has a mini cycling circuit, mock buildings like garage, hospital & grocery store. It has the usual slides and obstacle course & wall puzzles to keep your lil ones busy.<br />
<br />
Opens daily from 7am-7pm.<br />
Official website : <a href="http://www.penangmunicipalpark.com/">http://www.penangmunicipalpark.com</a><br />
<b>How to get there :</b> If you are coming down from Jalan Utama, Turn left to Lengkok Jessleton then to Persiaran Kuari (Junction on the left before christian cemetery), there's a sign that says "Taman Permainan Mudah Akses". Go along Jalan Kuari. The park is on the left, right opposite the Information Office.<br />

The old playground at youth park is still a charm. I didn't capture much pictures though but it has facilities for both young and old. It has some simple Gym equipments where adults can do their exercise and also it has the usual swings, slides & sort for the little ones, it also has a skating track for teenagers. Here I have a picture of Lucas on a stone camel which has been there for ages, since my time. There are so many things to do, one can spend hours there.</div>

<b>Straits Quay Water Park</b><br />
Opens Daily.<br />
Water play starts from 4.30pm-6pm<br />
<b>How to get there :</b> Turn into Quayside junction, but turn left immediately and not right to the condominium. Drive along the road to the back of Quayside condo, the park is situated right behind.<br />
<br />
We don't have to pay for ticket entry to get some water play. This hidden gem right behind Quayside Condominium is all about splashing fun. There's a toilet available as changing room after getting wet. The only downside is there are a lot of motorcyclist around which is quite dangerous for the kids. Even though there's a guard there, they are unable to enforce & restrict irresponsible motor cyclist at the area.<br />

Sorry I am kinda disconnected for the past few months. Just last month as i have blogged earlier, DH had a bike accident and was admitted &amp; had to go through some surgery. <span style="text-align: center;">A month has passed and he's now doing much better. </span>He recuperated well at home. Few days back, my mum was back in the hospital again as well... This is one of those events in life that makes you think a lot and appreciate life each passing day. I am trying to stay positive and I often joke with my friends that I'm now an expert in packing hospital bags. Well, truly, events like this help us grow. I think that I was calm and was able to handle the situation well when I was heard the bad news.<br />

<br />
When people talk about Maldives, what comes into mind first, is the beauty, paradise, gorgeous luxury resorts, & exorbitant bills afterwards... That was exactly what came across my mind. When I googled "Maldives", the first results that was shown was "TOP 20 Maldives resort", Maldives Luxury Resorts & Luxury Yachts... They look so good that you will feel so tempted to click on them, just to find out they are at least RM1.5k per night all the way to RM5k per night. But boy, these resorts are so beautiful, they make your jaws drop just by looking at the pictures.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
But, back to reality, we really were looking at more affordable options. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>Accommodation on a budget</u></b></div>
<div>
Maldives is divided into two categories, Resort Islands & Local Islands. Resort Islands are where all the beautiful over water villas are, while local islands are for local residents but recently, locals have started to venture into the hospitality industry, as more and more hotels/guesthouses are built to cater for tourism. This actually helps the local economy as they use to only rely on fishing as their primary source of income.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
After spending a little bit of time, searching around, we found out that staying at hotels/inns/guesthouses at local island, Maafushi, is fairly affordable. Hotel/Inn/Guesthouse prices ranging from RM88 - RM300 per night. We finally decided on booking the Stringray Beach Inn. Price of room was about RM250 per night (USD92) inclusive of breakfast. We felt the price was reasonable, the rooms look decent from the pictures. Now, you may think, if it's so cheap, everyone would just opt to stay on the local island. There's a catch. Being a muslim country, staying at local island requires us to be in modest clothing. No swimsuit/bikinis are allowed. No alcohol is allowed either. These rules however are not applicable if you are staying at a resort island. Well, I don't wear a bikini or drink alcohol so, it doesn't really bother me.<br />

<b><u>Travelling from Male to Maafushi/Maafushi to Male</u></b></div>
<div>
The tricky part about Maldives is, transportation from island to island via speedboat is quite costly. To get from Male to Maafushi, you can choose to travel via speedboat (about USD220 per boat, it gets cheeper if there are more passengers), or by the <a href="http://www.mtcc.com.mv/media/3958/provinceferryschedule.pdf" target="_blank">local ferry</a> (about MVR 30(USD2) per pax). Speedboat journey will take about 35mins while ferry takes about 1.5 hours. For local ferry, understanding the <a href="http://www.mtcc.com.mv/media/3958/provinceferryschedule.pdf" target="_blank">ferry schedule</a> is one of the vital consideration during your trip. Some of these ferries operates on weekdays (except Fridays), some operates on only Saturday/Monday/Wednesday and only one trip per day. Planning your trip should put this factor into consideration.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
We took a ferry back from Maafushi to Male as well... Lucas was FOC but we paid MVR60 for both of us.<br />

<b><u>About our hotel</u></b></div>
<div>
So, because we were travelling on a FRIDAY, there are no ferries to Maafushi operational, so we had to take a speedboat to the Maafushi. Upon arrival, we were greeted at the jetty by the co-owner of Stingray Beach Inn & his staff, with his trusty push cart (for our luggage).<br />

While walking to our inn, the owner, told us, he has a surprise for us, we then reach the Sun Tan Beach hotel, where he told us that this is a new hotel owned by the same owners of Stingray Inn, & they have upgraded us to a beachfront family size room (one double & one single bed). At the lobby, we were then offered our welcome drinks, and Ibrahim briefed us on the available activities. </div>

We then, went up to our room. The size of the room was clean & fairly large, with one double & one single bed. Tiled floors, TV, built in cupboards, Fan & Air conditioned, toilet was not very big but it's clean, equipped with handheld shower head & Rain shower options. Snorkelling gears, beach towels are all available for free. The first impressions were great & We couldn't ask for more...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>Daily Activities</u></b></div>
<div>
I believe all guesthouse/hotels at the local island will provide services such as snorkelling, dolphin sighting, etc... one of the services they provide is resort island excursions. So, even though we are staying on a local island, we can choose from the given list of resort islands, to spend our day at. Each resort will usually charge a fee for entry, & the hotel will provide you transport (with a fee) to that island. Some resorts will charge an entry fee + a minimum amount as spending credit. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<b><u>Rihiveli Resort</u></b></div>
<div>
Day 1, we chose to go to Rihiveli resort, as we were told there are a few people from Stingray Inn joining in as well, the transport fees will be cheaper. The resort also has two smaller islands which we can swim/walk to. Fees inclusive of Lunch (USD60++ (entrance fee) + USD65++ (transport fee)). Trip was 30mins by speedboat.</div>

We were very lucky, upon reaching the island, there were a school of dolphins swimming nearby. Our boat stopped & we were able to have a close encounter with the dolphins. It was amazing!</div>

We chose to have the BBQ lunch & it was quite shocking for us, when we found out, we need to swim/walk across to another island 400 metres away in the scorching sun for our lunch! @.@ We opt to rent the kayak and kayak there instead... the rental for the kayak was USD30. We were not too happy about the rental fee for the kayak as it was written on the brochure, free non-motorise water sports equipment. Apparently, that was some miscommunication between our hotel and their resort to be sorted out. Anyways, we did voice out to both parties but paid for it anyways, because there was no way we will be walking through the waters under the scorching sun to our lunch!<br />

There was a time limit so we had to reach by 1pm. I swear we almost melted on the way to Sunrise Island. Poor Lucas! Lucky he wore my hat. Lunch was just rice, grilled fish & salad (free flow). Since we already worked so hard to get there, we spent sometime snorkelling & Lucas built sand castle while we were there. I must say the water was really clear though. It was a beautiful little island nonetheless. </div>

For the 2nd Day, we opt for Holiday Inn Kandooma. We were charged USD 150++ (USD50 for entrance fee, USD 100 for minimum usable credit) + USD25++ for transport fees per pax (our hotel gave us a discount of USD 10 per pax for transport).</div>

We absolutely love this place! I think even more than Rihiveli :) There was a swimming pool so it was great for Lucas! All water sport gears are free! Usable credit can be used for food or spa services.</div>

Then, we head on up to the 2nd floor, where the real fun is! :) We started fooling around with the 3D arts capturing pictures with just our phone.

It's not a secret that handling two year olds can be a bitter sweet experience. It's great that they are starting to understand us, able to do certain things independently, but it also means, they are opinionated, they are curious all the time, they definitely love to test your patience & anger. This proves to be true as I am now a mother of a two year old toddler. Everyday, he test my ability to balance between too stringent & too lenient.<br />
<br />
Somedays, he's an angel and an obedient little boy. He will do his own thing & play on his own when I am busy with my work. He now knows how to make imaginary tracks for his trains and cars. He enjoys fixing his own train with his duplo set. That's how he occupies himself.<br />

Somedays, he doesn't get things his way and he will scream, or roll on the floor and drives me up the wall. Just like in this picture, he's crying because he wanted to hold the camera. I captured his cranky look anyways so in the future I can tell him how naughty he was. :D</div>

He's also beginning to show signs of jealousy. When mummy hugs daddy or when daddy kisses mummy, he will make a pouty face, until we kiss or hug him too. When I carried Abigail, during a group photo session, you can see Lucas whining away because he didn't want me to carry Abby.</div>

Sometimes, I go to a bookstore, I'm so overwhelm with the amount of books there, I don't know what or rather which book to choose. I have been looking for this particular book for sometime now, but I couldn't find it in MPH or Popular bookstores. One day, my husband came back with the box set. He saw it at Borders and bought it for Lucas. :) The box set includes a board book & a caterpillar soft toy. As the size is not too big/heavy, it's easy for me to bring it out (without the box of course) >.<<br />

So what is the fuss about this caterpillar. In a nutshell, this board book is about a hungry caterpillar, who ate & ate & ate and it finally grew into a Butterfly... Well, that's pretty much a very compact summary of it. Haha. But seriously, that's not all this book is about, you might think! It was definitely more than just a caterpillar eating through the pages... </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This bright coloured illustrated book teaches children to identify different types of fruits & food, Counting, Colours, Days of the week (from Monday - Sunday), eating habits, how eating too much junk food can give you a stomachache & how eating nutritious food can make one Grow. Finally, of course, how a caterpillar grows to be a beautiful butterfly. Pretty Pack huh? I guess that makes it so popular among the parents. :)</div>

Last weekend, in the centre of Georgetown, there was a rather hidden part of town, Off Hutton Lane, an art market was held. The event called "Party Lorong" was organised by Chai Diam Ma & Soda Fountain. Of course, just as it's name suggested, this event was held, at the what we locals call, a "lorong kia" (small lane) amongst quaint houses (which honestly, I, as a Penangnite, never knew it existed).<br />

As the organisers are very much artist themselves, we anticipated the event to be very artsy... True enough, the stalls participating in the event are by our talented local artists.

We also made a short trip up the 88th floor to see the Wind damper. It is said to be the world's largest & heaviest wind damper! Due to the weather, the outdoor observatory was closed. We then head on down, walk to the station & took our ride home.</div>

One of the most famous landmark in Taiwan. From Ximen station, take the Bannan line (Blue) & alight at Taipei main station. Then, changed to the XinYi Line (Red Line) towards Xiangshan.<br />
<br />
NOTE : Gotta be careful when getting on this train line as the board will show Xiangshan or Xindan. You don't want to board the wrong train. To go to Taipei 101, board the one towards Xiangshan. Alight at Taipei 101/World Trade Center Station. Taipei 101 is just above the station.<br />
<br />
*extra note : You can take the blue line and alight at City Hall Station as well. From the City Hall Station, there's a good photography spot where you can actually capture Taipei 101 in the background. (will blog more about this soon)<br />

Because we heard about the hello kitty cafe in Taipei & we wanted to check it out, instead of the above mentioned route, we actually took the Blue line from Ximen station all the way to Zhongxiao Fuxing. We then took a short walk and did a little asking around & arrived at the famous Hello Kitty Sweets Cafe.<br />

They open at 11am & we were half an hour early. There was already a short queue inside. We took some photos outside the cafe. Then, the crowd started to build up quickly. We took more photos while waiting.<br />

The price is quite pricey for the small sized desserts.<br />
<br />
Finally, it was 11am, everyone started to line up at the small entrance, where waitresses dressed in cute outfits attended to us. When it was our turn, the waitress told us that we must order NT$600 min to dine in. @.@ So, my advise is unless you are willing to spend NT$300 for a person, else you may wish to skip this place. :D We decided not to dine there & we left.<br />
<br />
So, we walked back to the station & we had a simple lunch at the famous Ding Dai Fung in the mall beside the station, SOGO. If you wish to dine in Ding Dai Fung, please expect to queue. On weekends, you practically have to stand and wait quite long. We were lucky not the queue was not that long that day.<br />
We waited about 10-15mins & it was our turn. Love the service at this restaurant. Baby Friendly - As Lucas was asleep in his stroller, the friendly staff actually arranged the chair & make sure there's a walk way for my to push my stroller in. So thoughtful of them. They even help me cover my jacket, which i hanged on my chair, with a case, I guess to prevent the jacket from getting dirty & all the stir-fry smell, lingering around which is common in a typical chinese restaurant.<br />
<br />
Must have in Ding Tai Fung *Xiao Long Pau*. They taste as good as the one we have at Dragon-i :)<br />
Price NT$120 for 6pcs.<br />

After lunch, we took the train to Daan Station & alighted at Xinyi Anhe. Read in a blog somewhere that is the station to alight, but end up it was quite a loooong walk! Just to find out that there's a stop right below Taipei 101. *(face palm)*<br />
<br />
We took pictures of Taipei 101 from the opposite side of the road (HSBC building)</div>

Inside Taipei 101, it's a shopping mall, where most familiar branded names are. The gold interior is very posh looking. The best thing about being in Taipei 101 is FREE WIFI. :) No Password required. The bad thing about Taipei 101 is there's very limited elevators. Gosh, to find one we have to walk from one end to another.<br />

We were deciding whether we want to go up to the observatory tower or not as it was quite misty. I told my sister if the price is NT$500 or below then we go. Funny enough, when we reach the counter, the price of admission for adult is NT500 each and free for children under 12 years of age. </div>

After freshening up at the hotel, we head up to Shilin Night Market for more food! :) We get on board the MRT from Ximen station using the Red Line (Tamsui Line). I think it cost about 20-25yuan (RM2-RM2.50). We then alight at JianTan station. There are sign boards guiding passengers towards the night market. You just won't miss the junction anyways, as it is the one pack with people.</div>

Apparently, apart from food stalls on the street, there are also stalls down below at a basement. There's a banner that says night market food court midway along the street. Just take a lift / escalator down. Although I must say, this place is too pack & "smelly" (from the smelly tofu) for a stroller to manoeuvre, but Lucas was soundly asleep in it, so no complains.</div>

Next, I tried the bitter gourd juice (recommended by my husband & sister in law). @.@ it was so bitter! Apparently, this is not from the stall they mentioned. The stall the mentioned will put some honey to it, hence it's less bitter. So, yup, I have to finish up my bitter juice... >u<</div>

Next, we saw a line at this stall selling "little-cake-in-big-cake". Okay, this looks different. We saw a lot of picture with celebrities hanging around the store, since we don't read any chinese, we figured, this must be good. When lining up, the guy pass us a "selection menu", sweet or salty. It has both english and chinese... good :) We ask the guy to recommend. He pointed Peanuts. So, Peanuts it is.</div>

They will place the crusted looking pastry (the one that looks like curry puff) and blanket it and hammer it into pieces. Then, add the flavour chosen earlier & they will roll it up like a spring roll.</div>

We had back up to the streets. We did some shopping. Manage to buy a few pieces of top for mum. It was hard to shop as most shops has steps, or are very narrow. A stroller is not so appropriate, a carrier would be a much better option for those travelling with lil ones.</div>

We also had some fried milk. Yup, that's what it's call. Weird names they have. It's actually something like a toasted mochi, then you can choose the flavour for it. I chose the sweeten Condensed milk as recommended by the seller.</div>

The thing about not being able to read chinese, we don't know what we are ordering sometimes. We see a line, and we start lining up for it (making assumptions it's good). This stall for example, sells sausages. we were kinda conned by the long line. LOL... it's long because aunty is so SLOW..... strategy maybe? Well, it one of those things we end up buying but not liking it too much. The condiments she put in the sausage was too strong for our liking.</div>

A vibrant and one of the most happening place in Taipei. This is where our hotel is, and where we will be staying for the next 8 days... :)<br />

When we first arrived at our hotel, Dairy of Taipei, The location was great as it's just beside the Ximen, MRT station & in the centre of the most happening place in town. But, we had quite a hard time looking for the hotel entrance. The entrance is actually a small walkway in between the shop lots. It is located at the 5th floor of this building. </div>

I think we ate more than we shopped! The moment we went down we saw a street stall selling fried chicken & fried mushrooms. We wanted to try the friend mushrooms but they were sold out, so we opt for the chicken bites. Not too bad, but a bit oily. Could take much of it.</div>

This post is slightly overdue. Lucas celebrated his birthday 2 weeks ago. Happened to fall on the same day as Chinese New Year, so we celebrated at Kampar. Just a very simple celebration. We were lucky we manage to get a cake from King's Confectionery. Lucas chose his cake. Of course, he chose the Minion one... *_* he calls them "banana"... This cake cost us RM75 =_="" I thought it was a tad expensive... Anyways, ccan't believe my lil baby is now TWO!! </div>

Good news! Finally, Lucas' is willing to wear his helmet during cycling :) hooray! So, it was all in good time as we participated in the Fun ride organised by one of the cycling groups in Penang. We had to drag ourselves to wake up in the wee hours as the event starts at 8.30am. It was a short ride & we had so much fun riding around Beach street to Komtar & back.</div>

There are times we weep in silence because it not easy holding it inside. Yet, as much as we need to hold ourselves together & we need to put in our decision, somethings are not up to us to decide... But I still have what little faith left, believing it will be alright.<br />

Dear readers, how have you been? As the year is coming to an end, work & events are piling up, my calendar is filled up almost to the brink! Such joy… :) Have you been naughty or nice? I'm a little slow in blogging but I have not forgotten this blog. As I am blogging with christmas songs in the background, I would like to close the year to blog about the year; rewinding back & reflecting on the good times & bad times, happy times & sad times, about the people we journey along with.<br />

2013 is indeed a very unique year. It is filled with joy and unexpected sorrows. It was a year of Friends losing friends, friends losing siblings... I pray hard that those who are trying to move on, will find peace and let go of those who have left. A sweet girl and a dear friend of my sister was one of the people I will remember. Though a life is lost, memories of her still remains.<br />
<br />
I have also learned very much about HOPE & FAITH, experiencing how fragile life can be first hand & how life can just change it's course, at any single time. I've learned to live life to the fullest & appreciate everyday spent with loved ones. Life is indeed UNPREDICTABLE. How insignificant our little rants are compared to others who are fighting to live on & move on. I pray that my mum & my aunt both find strength & hope to continue fighting on.<br />
<br />
I now learned to rant less… (not that I have anyone to rant to… :) but as long as I give it my all whole heartedly, I believe the reward is just around the corner, work more, complain less…). This year, I have been blessed with great opportunities to improve and grow in my passion & career. Though I'm still taking baby steps but I remain hopeful that all things will fall into place.<br />
<br />
Although, financially, this year has been a tad challenging for me, I'm grateful that Lucas & I are blessed with lucky stars throughout the year. This year, by far, must have been the year for most won giveaways & challenges as well being featured. How awesome is that ?! So despite all the sad things that happened, there are also the good things I look forward to :)<br />

It has been a few days now, I have noticed that every time when I am occupied with something, cooking, or when I am working on my desk, Lucas will run to me, giving me the look, nagging & babbling (in his own language) and showing me his broken monkey. It happened a couple of times that it did occurred to me in my thoughts "What a lousy toy is that? Why does it keep falling apart?" </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
On good times, I will fix it back for him, on other times, I will just ignore him and told him to play without the monkey attached, & I will continue on with my work or chores. That's the part & parcel of being a Work-at-home mom. You always question yourself about which should be prioritised in a day, sometimes you give in, sometimes you can't. Barely a handful of people understands the situation that I go through daily… </div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">One day, daddy was watching over him while I was cooking lunch. Lucas did the same thing running along with his toy but to daddy. But, this time "unfortunately" daddy caught him red-handed. Daddy told him off and asked him "why did he remove the monkey from his toy?" It was then, that it struck me, all this while, Lucas was trying to get my attention. Sigh, he must have felt neglected when I am busy with my daily chores & also sometimes work that he tried to get my attention. This coming from a less than 2 year old kid. I felt so bad. All he wanted was for me to be there to play with him. I also realised that at times when I actually stopped my work and walked to him & fixed his monkey back, he would usually smile and continue playing before "breaking the </span>monkey" again...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<span style="text-align: justify;">Sometimes, we get so caught up with time & work, we often neglect and push aside people who are closest to us. This is how a broken monkey reminded me about the most important thing in life, just being there. I'm still working on making myself more available to my family but life ain't easy. A mom gotta do what a mom gotta do.</span></div>

Fever went on for 4 days with runny nose & bad cough. Despite being sick, he was still very active running around & being his usual jolly self. It's only when it's time for medicine & during the night, he gets cranky. During the Dr's visit he still weighs below 11kg. Still a little underweight for his height & age.<br />

I love it when he asks daddy to read him a book before he sleeps. Somedays, he will fall asleep before daddy is back home & daddy leaves for work early so he won't be able to see daddy. So bonding time like this is very precious… :)</div>

Because he was sick during halloween, we cancelled our plans for taking him out for trick or treating this year. We didn't want him to spread his flu to other kids as well. So we spent the day at home. We sort of dressed him up in his "glow-in-the-dark" pyjamas for the occasion :)</div>

During the long weekend for Deepavali, we went back to daddy's hometown. He now knows how to answer us when we ask him, "where is daddy's hometown?" he will answer "tampah" (suppose to be Kampar… He had a swell time because every time he meets his aunt, he will get loads of presents. </div>

This little guy can now say "Thank you" in words instead of signs. I'm so proud of him. The first time he said thank you was when his aunty gave him something. Everyone was surprised as he barely speaks.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
He now knows how to say thank you after I applied lotion for him (without me asking), took me by surprise but I was really happy. </div>

<b>New words he can speak :</b> Duck Duck, Throw, kank kiu (thank you), poke, two, cuckoo (mimics the cuckoo clock when it cuckoos) **We are going slow & steady but we will soon get there ^_^</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>New things he does : </b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li>Washing himself while bathing (with instructions of body parts like neck, tummy, hands, face, etc…)</li>
<li>Peeing in his potty (before and after bathing) showing progress with the potty.</li>
<li>Drinking fresh milk / formula in the morning.</li>
<li>No more pacifier :)</li>
<li>Drawing in circles with a crayon *sometimes*</li>
<li>Ask me to clear his ear wax (he stays really still and let me clears them but he wants to see the wax after) *I'm amazed but I did this with extra extra caution & only with his "consent"*</li>
<li>Tells me to wash him up when he poos or when diaper is really wet, he will ask me to change him by pointing to his diaper & pulling me to the room/toilet.</li>
<li>More opinionated and says No to things he doesn't like.</li>
</ul>
<br />

I have seen and heard about the balancing cactus from plan toys before and it did occur to me I might buy it for him one day. Lucas is so loved. The moment we unbox the toy, I was amazed that he immediately knew what to do. He started playing with it almost immediately and that was about what he did during the long weekend.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
On the box, it states for 3+ years, so parents should always observe their kid when playing as some parts are only a thumb size large. I guess it's still possible to choke on them.</div>

I love how it encourages creativity. There's no right or wrong in constructing the cactus. The goal is simply to balance it and not let it fall.... If possible :)</div>

Just a few days ago we were doing fine</div>
<div>
then sneezes, cough and fever came by the same time... </div>
<div>
When it's time for meds you will run n hide, </div>
<div>
else you will close your mouth real tight.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Then, when Mummy offered you milk to drink, </div>
<div>
You rejected me & my heart sinks... </div>
<div>
Is it time to wean? Is it really time to wean? I'm pretty sure that's not what you mean.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
It's been almost two years and very much a part of me, </div>
<div>
It happened so suddenly, Mummy is not ready.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
This morning u woke up and asked for it, </div>
<div>
I jumped up immediately and tried to enjoy every minute.</div>
<div>
I am quietly hoping it's not the last,</div>
<div>
Oh my, oh dear, you are growing up too fast...</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Today, Mummy tried a few times, you still said NO...</div>
<div>
Looks like it's time for mummy to let go.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I will remember all the memories, oh so fond.</div>
<div>
The struggle we went through, the sweet times we bond, </div>
<div>
What a journey it was for you and me, & how much you have grown my little baby. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Ah the sentimental me, the sentimental me...<br />
Just a little note frm a breastfeeding mummy.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
:'( *sob* *sob*<br />
<br />
<br />
p.s. I'm still secretly hoping it's not the last. >.<</div>
