Warehouse Clearance

Mattel, a popular brand name when it comes to toys held their warehouse clearance sale the last 3 days. This is an annual event and my 3rd time attending.

This time it was held at Jaya One along Jalan University, Petaling Jaya. Daddy is very calculative when it comes to buying me toys as he feels I've past that age. Yeah Right!

But this time around, he surprised me with loads of Barbie gifts!!. 2 sets of Barbie doll (workout and safari), 2 sets of attires with 2 piece in each set and the coolest of them all is Barbie's very own Safari ride that seats 2 Barbie upfront and 2 little ones at the back. The Man of Steel figurine was for daddy himself.

If that wasn't enough, he got Viperene Gorgon from Monster High adding to my current Clawdeen Wolf doll. They are awesome style divas despite looking scary.

It was a huge sale and from the amount of empty boxes, I'm sure there are lots of happy kids all around town. Warehouse Clearance Facebook Page. Thanks Daddy!

I was on cloud nine and decided to splurge a little more with Chocolate and strawberry cupcakes, jelly cake and caramel macchiato. Yummy!!

Toddling @ Gold Coast Morib

Last week, during the short school break, we headed out to Morib. It's a mere hour's drive from KL city and with a great deal on Groupon, the Gold Coast was irresistible!

Like minded folks were already thronging the reception counter an hour before check-in but lucky us we did all prior bookings and secured a lovely room. The package was inclusive of breakfast and dinners so we didn't have to worry about what to eat.

We had a nice view of the resorts water theme park and knowing me, I spent the next 2 days soaking in it at every given opportunity. Overcame my fear of high slides.

The other cool activity I did get on the flying fox. It was my first time attempting it so I had butterflies in my tummy but knew I had to try this no matter what.

Since I overcame my fear of heights, I managed this steep ladder pretty easily. The zip line was leading straight into sea minus the water as it was low tide.

That's my zipping down the line!

The sand was very clean and lovely closer to the resort but was not too appealing as we got closer to the sea. Day 2 was mainly on the beach and another dip in the pool. We took some time in the evening and drove into Morib town for some shopping.

On check-out day I spent most of my time in the jacuzzi. It was pure bliss relaxing while watching TV as they had this window that opens up for a view into the room.

School Holiday Project

The term 2 holidays came and will be gone in 2 days for it was only a week break so I tried to make the best out of it with a long pending project, completing it successfully.

That's an intentional cut from an old Kindy days school shoe which was just collecting dust hence I thought I'd spruce it up a little, turning it into a sandal.

My toes were sticking out nicely giving ample comfortable room.

I got these fabric markers at a bargain and used them for the designs.

And these lovely sparkles to give it the extra 'umph'

I googled up some sample designs for ideas.

Wahlah! The end product was this marvelous piece with individual designs on each shoe. I was amazed at how it turn out to be. The texture was awesome!

Classmate's Birthday @ The Club, Bandar Utama

Reann turned 7 last Saturday and continuing the tradition of my classmates hosting boisterously fun parties, she went with splash and fun as the theme.

The venue was at the Terrace Cafe @ The Club, Bandar Utama. It's the residents club house but allows outsiders to use their facilities for a fee.

As soon as the early birds got there, we didn't want to waste too much time and headed straight to the pool. Reann even got all floats and water squirt guns!

We were confined to the kiddies pool under watchful eyes of our parents and daddy was not far off and kept coming back despite us 'accidentally' splashing water on him.

An all jelly cake and everyone jumped back in the pool right after. I had a runny nose and didn't want to aggravate it hence stayed out round 2.

Beaconhouse Merdeka Celebration

The National Day celebration is on going every where until Malaysia Day this Tuesday and to instill nationalism, my school held it's own celebration in house.

Last Friday, everyone was instructed to come in their own traditional or cultural attire. I attended in a saree and was shortlisted for the fashion show.

My catwalk partner and I nailed 2nd place & here's me with the rest of the finalist.

Our classroom was also decorated to reflect the Merdeka spirit and here's all of us in all glory looking splendid in this group photo.

My appreciation and thanks goes to my class teacher Ms. Sugu for coordinating the decoration, giving me the opportunity to compete and win. Not forgetting these lovely photos she took that was shared with me.

New Hobby

The latest craze ... Loom Bands. The best part is, it was invented by a Malaysian!

Toddling @ Kuantan, RT Trip 2014

Traveling by bus is always fun, moreover with regular friends and family with a packed agenda on gaining new experiences is always something I look forward to.

The annual Rukun Tetangga trip is back and last Saturday we made our way to the east coast of the Peninsula, Kuantan City!

The first stop was at a lovely town, 80km northeast to KL City ... Bentong. We decided to stop here for breakfast as we left pretty early in the morning.

Our regular tour guide on all our trips insisted we tried the 'Dim Sum' and boy was he right, it was very fresh and tasting quite different from home.

After that we hit the road to our first destination, The Lao Zi Temple. Located in Sungai Lembing, it houses a 2700 ft long Golden Dragon. It's said to be the longest man made dragon in the world and one has to start from the dragon's tail to get to the temple.

The journey took a good 15 minutes of jay walking with the insides adorned with scriptures along the path and some lovely paintings accompanying them.

The journey ends when we emerge out of the Dragon's mouth. Further down, you need to touch the marble ball (where the 2 ladies are standing) and make a wish. It is believed that the mighty dragon grants your wish and many visitors stood by this too.

The shrine and lovely statues make up this beautiful temple and I couldn't resist making my presence felt by sounding this enormous bell.

We headed into Kuantan town for lunch at this restaurant.

Thoroughly enjoyed the splendid 8 course lunch!

We stopped along a trunk road to see this huge rock formation in a shape of a snake. Many were seen making offerings and seeking blessings by touching the snake's head. I was pretty sleepy from the heavy lunch hence couldn't tell where exactly this was.

About 5km out of Kuantan town, we hit Teluk Cempedak for some relaxation. I made it a point to take a stroll by the beach and got myself a lovely beach shorts.

In all our trips, there is always time for shopping and not to be left out, I contribute my share but filling the trolley with snacks, in particular, crispy seaweed!

A fraction of what we bought.

On the way back to KL, we made a stop at Bukit Tinggi to buy fresh vegetables and while we're at it, have our dinner too.

Took little bites from every dish as I was still stuffed from lunch. Timing was perfect on this trip and we made it back by 10pm which was a new record indeed.

Aquaria KLCC

In conjunction with our school's 10th Anniversary celebration, the staff were all occupied to a grand celebration hence they gave us students a day off.

So last Friday, daddy planned a surprised trip down to KLCC to the renowned, state-of-the-art oceanarium - Aquaria. Located within 60,000 square-foot space in the Concourse Level of the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre.

Entrance was a breeze since it was a working / schooling day for everyone else so we have no crowd worries and stood as long as we wanted at each exhibit.

If the piranhas were intimidating, the immediate recourse was to be able to touch and feel the fishes. Most of them were hard to get too but the stagnant ones were easy. 

Perfect timing and we got to see them being fed.

Lots of information were available to understand the sea creatures better and I was simply blown away by the way some of them looked.

Both scary and cute!

The coolest part is this 90-metre transparent tunnel with a moving walkway. If you wanted to be amazed and continue staring at the fishes, like what daddy did most of the time, just hop on to the walking path. Just don't block other patrons.

The giant Stingrays were fantastic but up close to Mr. Shark was simply fabulous. From the looks of it, he's got squeaky clean teeth!

At some point, you can just feel like you're actually in the aquarium!

Imagine the horror when I saw this sign. 

Various types of 'Jaws' were on display from popular types of sharks. Daddy spoke about a movie made on this subject and he went on humming a tune from the score which was suppose to scare me ... sheeshhh.

In the vertical aquarium (the ones you see next to Jaws above) house these cute little fellows. My favourites throughout. Marlin, Dory and Nemo were also there!

A well stocked souvinear shop and I just couldn't resist getting something for myself.

This is the most unique thing from my trip to Aquaria, check out the shape of the filament, part of it's central disc or something, taking the form of the Sanskrit Om!
