Family Day @ Bunga Raya Island Resort

Last Mother's Day we went to Bunga Raya Island Resort & SPA. It was actually a family day organise by dh's office. We had an advantage that day since it was empty, no guest check in till late afternoon so it was not crowded. The kids was so excited about the trip.

The ride from Jesselton Point to the island itself took about 45mins.It was a long trip but it was worth it.Bunga Raya has the nicest beach in KK so far, and of course with crystal clear water! And they have a 5-Star facilities there. And the best thing they have is they Ice Room! (the opposite of the sauna room!) I didn't get to try the SPA (of course, restricted for house guest only! hehe). So, enjoy the photos..

Merdeka Hols

Last school holiday, Phoebe went to Tawau to visit her cuzzies. She was very excited about her trip and I was actually a bit worried if she started to miss or look for one of us. Anyway the first few days was fine until on Thursday when she started to look for me.


We went back to Tawau on the Merdeka weekends. It was a very short holiday, so we didn't plan to go anywhere or do anything. So, we just stay at home,except for dh, he went to play paintball with his friends on our last day there. On Saturday we went to have a makan-makan dinner at Promenade with the whole gang (well..makan is always the main agenda in the family). The food is quiet ok but not as good as KK lah ...


So I'm just gonna post some of the photos taken during the dinner @ promenade


Ok lah ... that's all..* I actually have no idea what to write anymore since i have not been blogging for a while ... oh well, I think i will cope with that soon...anyway, just to update, lately I've been busy doing my baking. Since this is my first time baking cookies, so I was thinking it is better for me to start early to practise so by the time Xmas is here ... my cookies will be perfect! (kunun lah....) Finally i have found my passion... hehehe, Its time for me to start practising my 2nd recipe .... *


Will Update soon~ish!! *

Missed but not forgotten

Visit to Tambunan wouldn't be the same again.  We have just seen Phoebe & Isaac's great-grandmother being buried this afternoon.  

It was a perfect weather today; it was sunny, with a bit of breeze in the afternoon.  The neighbours were very helpful in setting things into motion.  MIL looked tired, however with everyone around, she had less to worry on the arrangement.  There were so many relatives & friends visiting, that yours-truly tend to stay in the shadow, observing the crowds exchanging greetings, children running around (especially phoebe), food being prepared and cooked; Uncle Eric writing up his Eulogy; cousins, aunties / uncles, nephew / nieces, all came to pay their last respect.

The last time we saw her was last Christmas.  She was still actively moving around, less chatty but full of smile.  The kids loved being around her, amused by her very elderly action, they would immitate her.  I still can remember when Isaac just started to walk, he would posed just like her, walking with his hands at his back while walking a bit slanting forwards.

I have less memory of her for I only knew her for a short time, and most of our encountered was a brief exchange of a smile.  

One thing I do know for sure, she did make everyone happy with her presence.  She is now with one of her children, looking from above, observing those who would remain here, running their daily errands.

On the way back to KK, I still can recall the faces of family & friends praying for her soul.  Yes, she will be missed, but not forgotten.

If all thing goes well this coming few days, we might be in Tambunan this coming Saturday for the 7th day prayers.

Till then, keep reading.

Busy Weekends!

It was a long weekend and bil & family was also in town (supposedly for Xmas Shopping .. hehe) We went to 1Borneo on Sunday night and it is very frustrating that the shop there closed exactly at 10pm! We were just finished our dinner at Restoran RasaMas and were about to go for window shopping when we see everybody has started packing already. And we didnt even get to buy donuts .. sigh. So we drove straight back to City Mall hoping that they still have some donuts, but still to our disappointment that they too are closing!(taaaapunn donut lah.. hehe). Anyway, just wanna share some of the kids photos taken during the weekends. And oh ya .. Its Xmas mood everywhere ... lovely!
