Sepetang @ The Mines

On the way back from the wedding, we dropped by The Mines for dessert. The weather was burning hot during the wedding and we thought to cool down a little before we make our way home. Since The Mines is about 5 minutes away from the wedding venue, we choose this complex.

As usual, the favourite dessert by the cuties, McFlurry Oreo. I had only mineral water, tadi dah melantak kat rumah pengantin, the amount of calories dah macam makan 2-3 days tau!

Mines is a very interesting shopping complex. I think lil^red would know as this used to be one of her favourite hang out (kalau salah, ampun!!!!). This place sells a lot of baju pelik2 and at a cheap price.

We did not walk for long, penat lah and furthermore, one more wedding to attend that nite. Nak balik catch a nap sat.

While Mama works....

While I was working last Saturday nite, the cuties were having a fun time with my better half.....

And the cuties were so sweet to tell me later, "Kalau ada Mama lagik best.....".

Movie Review - Upin Ipin The Movie

First and foremost, I don't understand why they did not call this movie Upin & Ipin the Movie. Upin & Ipin is already a brand on its own and by changing the name of the movie can lead to further confusion. That's what I experienced when I try to do phone booking for the movie. When I press 2 for Malay movie, I have 2 options ; Press 1 for Sifu & Tonga and Press 2 for Geng. Mana Upin & Ipin nie. Then only I found out the name of the movie is Geng & Pengembaraan. Apalah!

We watched that movie at The Mines Shopping Centre in between my work. The place was really packed and even the cinema that we were in do not have a single empty chair. Even the front row which require for you to lift your head 45% higher were not spared.

How was the movie? It was GREAT!!! Love it. It has all the necessary elements for an animation. Music, adventure, humour and of course moral of the story. I love it so much and so did the cuties and my better half. I planned to purchase the DVD once they are out. The original one yer....

You should go and watch this movie. Apart from supporting the local film, this is not like the typical local film. So, tunggu apa lagik. Dapat kan tiket di pawagam yang berhampiran....

BETUL BETUL BETUL!!!

Another working weekend

I have been stuck with work for the last 2 weekends so I thought this weekend can be a relaxing weekend. I even intentionally left my notebook in the office so that I can have a relaxing well deserved weekend.

But, end up, another working weekend. I was at the Mines attending a program organised by my company. I was covering for Faz managing this program when she was on maternity so, they were kind enough to invite me to participate.

I seriously thought that's a good thing, being able to spend the weekend with the cuties in a resort...then emails started to come into my mailboxes causing me to go back to office on Saturday to pick up my notebook. And another trip to office on Sunday to do some more work...sigh.......

Back to the event, it was great actually meeting the greenies again. They all looked to matured and grown up. I managed to have a chat with some of them and I can see the sparks in their eyes that they are willing to work hard to achieve their goals.

And the best thing is, the consultant wanted to continue this tradition that I unintentionally started, giving cupcakes to the greenies. And I got a box! The cuties were more excited than I am since they know I don't take sweet things....

Hancur lagik dietku nampaknyer!!!

Trip to Mines Wonderland

How ignorant can a mum be? I didn't know that Mines Wonderland operating hours start at 5pm. So, once we check out, we have to go back and then come back in the evening. After doing the laundry, a bit of cleaning up and some rest, we left again to Mines. We stop to have our meals as we want to ensure that we can do our rounds without having to stop for meals...

There were many place of attractions. Enjoy the pics...

We also hope the cuties look forward to go back to school and produce better results than last year...

Final Break Before The Hard Work Begin

Before school terms open, we decided to bring the cuties to a short holiday and within Klang Valley so that we won't have to waste time traveling. So, we brought the cuties to Palace Beach Resort and Spa next to Mines Wonderland. They were offering a package speacially for school holidays which I came across while surfing the net. The package consists of 1 nite stay for 2 adult and 2 children with breakfast, ticket for cruise around the vincinity and entry to Mines Wonderland. We arrived around 1pm and the room was not ready so we decided to go for lunch at the Mines Shopping Centre just next door. How convenient.

Once we got our key card, I told the cuties to solat zuhur and then only we can go off to the pool. The pool is very unique, more like a man-made beach. I just sat at the "beachside" monitoring the cuties. After about 2 hours there, I thought to ask about the cruise service and plan for the next activities. I told the cuties to wait while mama and papa negotiate. Little did I know, they my hero was carrying my baby on his back and went back to the pool and went to the deep side. I screamed at the top of my lung and quickly jumped in. That's it, mama sudah marah, semua balik bilik NOW!!!!

Alhamdulilah, nothing bad happen...After resting for awhile, we took the cuties for the cruise and the destination was to the hotel next door. This hotel was very beautiful at night and we walked around while waiting for the return ferry to come.

We had our dinner and my princess had a special request for us to find a place that has Astro since she wanted to watch the final of Sehati Berdansa. She's a fan of Vanida and Shidee. We only allowed her to watch 2 performances and she then called her grandmother and requested for her to call once results are announced and she was very happy to know that her couple won...

The next day, we had breakfast at the resort and more pool action after that.When we were ready to check out, the cuties watched cartoon while the parents did the packing. We plan to go to the Wonderland after this...
