What Being a Parent is all About.

Saw this video in Facebook and it opened my eyes immensely. Sharing this to all the parents like me...


It just goes to show how much we, parents have influence on our kids. Let's put that to good use, should we?

Bukit Bintang and Our First Lunch in KL.

We got to our hotel in KL around 1AM already so after checking in, we went straight to our room and slept. We still have a long day the next day. True enough, right after settling down and preparing for the day we went to Bukit Bintang for our first lunch in KL.



Since it was our first, we made sure we ordred our favorite! Yum, yum, yum!



It was definitely a great and unforgettable lunch.

After sharing stories for a few minutes, off we went to do the first thing in our itinerary...



S.H.O.P.P.I.N.G. in Bukit Bintang! Woot!

Our Flight to KL, Malaysia

The moment we booked our flight to KL, Malaysia, we were all looking forward to it simply because it is our last trip for 2013 and at the same time my family will be complete!


After 3 years, we are complete again.


Our flight was on time and uneventful. We were so blessed! We knew that this trip is going to be a blast!


Will post more about this soon! (*wink*)

Happy Sunday, everybody!

Craving for Tasty Ramen for the Chinese New Year!

Kung Hei Fat Choy, everyone!

Since today is the Chinese New Year, I'm kind of craving for ramen. Yeah, I know, Ramen is actually a Japanese food but I kind of remembered our good meal from our dinner last year. It was YUMMY!


We had a very tasty ramen for that night at Ikkoryu Fokkuka in Shangrila East Wing. It was a quick dinner since we all have work the next day. But still, we had a great time bonding over food with my family! We will definitely go back! (*wink*)

9 Years and Counting...

Yes, that's us celebrating our 9th anniversary today! Yebah!


How time flies! I feel like its only yesterday when I we were enjoying our "big" day.


I guess, it's true what they say, "time flies when you are having fun!".


Happy Anniversary to us, my dear Hubby! ♥♥♥
