Gui Lin Day 1 (part 1)

Yay! Thank almighty god we have touch down at Gui Lin Airport safely around noon. Lil prince had a good rest, to ensure he have enough energy to explore Gui Lin :)

We are using private group tour, means that the guide will only be taking care of us and no outsider will be joining us.

 Gui Lin Airport

It's summer in China so the weather is same as Kuching, HOT!

 Changing out from the pajama. Grandpa is Lil Prince best friend.

Pretty toll booth..

Our hotel... I forgot the name. It's 3 star. Clean and big room.

I breastfed Alexander whenever he wants it. Just use a shawl and tada... a mobile milk source for the lil Prince.

Where's my food?

Even after I kept lil prince head in the correct direction...

 Simple lunch at a restaurant... Standard oriental dishes.

 

 

 

While having our lunch, got Artsy stuff like this decorative fan on sale. Paintings too. And Calligraphy.

After the simple but satisfying lunch, we went for a walk at a nice garden. Stay tune.

Alexander's 1st Airplane Ride

Words cannot express how I feel. I have waited for this moment since... the year we decided to get pregnant. Our last trip was on Nov 2008 to Bali. That's like forever...

 Our 1st trip oversea with our prince Alexander. Don't worry Alexander, we paid for your air fare, you don't have to hide in the suitcase although u can fit in it :)

  My parent are traveling with us, including my youngest brother, William.

 

Lil prince being dotted on by grandparent and uncle... what a lucky chap! And we are really lucky too as all ground arrangement for this trip to China were handled by my parent. Really thankful.

  And yes... we traveled on Airasia. I really like fyling on Airasia as the airfare is really affordable. And bext of all, everything can be done online.

 Met our friend, Christopher, who is flying back to Perth. And we were introduce to his fiance too... what a nice pretty lady. Hope to visit you guys next time in Perth!

 This will be lil Alexander 1st trip on a airplane... here's to many more to come!

 Patiently waiting for the announcement to board the flight.

 Such a BIG plane!

 Lil Alexander sneakily catching a glimpse of those beautiful stewardess. Daddy must be passing down some tips to the lil prince.

 Exploring... while holding on to his bolster

 Hmmm... what's on the menu?

 Feed me Uncle Chin Chicken Rice NOW!

 Alexander slept after the satisfying meal... We are really lucky lil prince was behaving pretty well. Looks like we can start to travel now on. There was no fuss from this lil naughty boy. I'm really happy as this means I can start to think about our next destination HAHAHA... the 1st trip is not even over yet, this kia su mummy is thinking about the next vacation liaw...

 Reach our transit stop... LCCT KL.

 Stay tuned to find out where are flying off tomorrow!

Juz bcoz

It has been aloooooooooong time since we had BBQ party. And it was a "just bcoz we want it" BBQ. I already forgot how FUN it can be. And the FOOD was just GOOD. The COMPANY was GREAT. The garlic bread..YUM. The wings... YUM YUM. The lamb... YUM YUM YUM!!!But with the haze back here... I feel a bit guilty with the open burning la :P

Home Made Specialties, Ang Cheng Ho

2 weeks ago, I had a really wonderful lunch @ Home Made Specialties, Ang Cheng Ho with hubby's family. Locate at a corner shop opposite The Elephant. They offer steamed dishes, mostly in clay pot. I was apprehensive at 1st as it was open air & HOT le. Hubby's Aunt ordered most of the dishes & we were ushered up to the 2nd floor. I was very surprise to be greeted with this:

And it was air-conditioned le. Very clean & nobody else is around. Yay! While waiting for food to arrive, the monkeys made funny faces...Esther's food, Heng Hua Mee. She like noodles alot. Steamed Minced Pork RM6, it was fully loaded with salted fish, u can taste it with every bit. And the chili padi... power. Very small portion nia.

Herbal Chicken Soup RM6, I loved soup a lot.

Pig's Tripe Soup RM6, full of pepper. It was HOT HOT HOT! The "hu ju pork" or fermented beans pork stew (I made up that name bcoz I forgot what it's called) was very different. The taste is very strong, hubby hate it, good for me as I can eat more la. Others were commenting the kacangma was so-so only as my MIL can do better hahahah.

The price here is a bit more expensive than others but there are a lot of varieties... Despite the price tag, this place has a fair number of customer, who by the way prefer siting at the ground floor "open-air" Kopitiam la.

Good Times

Had breakfast with hubby's Grandpa & Aunt. Supposed to try out a new Chicken Rice outlet @ RH Plaza, BDC but we could not locate the shop... so we went to the BEST chicken rice shop we know,
Hainan Street Restaurant, BDC.

We got 2 types of Chicken, Steamed & Roasted, RM10.80 each. YUM!

Fried Sabah yu-chai RM6.00, the taste a bit weird at 1st bcoz they used fermented bean, but after a few bite, i quite like it.

Toufu with Century Egg RM3.50... with a generous topping of fried garlic! Surprisingly good.

Quite a heavy breakfast le, but as we all know, BREAKFAST is the MOST IMPORTANT meal of the day ma... Total damage: RM39.10

Went for food shopping at Cold Storage. The place very the quiet le... will go bankrupt or not this place??? And they stopped stocking up on the Bulla Ice-cream, so sad. We bought the usual stuff like fruits, non-halal stuff :P, etc. I even got a few cans of this CALORIE FREE Creamy Root Beer from Diet Hansen's. RM2.90 per tin for NO Carbs, No preservatives, No sugar, make u think what u get rite?
Currently, Cold Storage is giving away a coupon for every RM30 spent. wow... now I only need to collect 21 more to redeem the Crystal Wine Glass... If you guys hav it & not gonna use it, donate it to me eh???Then headed for a car pampering session... Wash & Vacuum @ TOC, where we get complimentary lime juice & also a nice comfortable sofa for us to read the newspaper... it's the only time I get to read & laugh about our exciting "local news"

Went to pick up another parcel... from Poslaju, it's opened the whole day on Saturday le.The name card that came with the parcel was very creative... a Focus Test Chart on the opposite side. Something useful for hubby.nah....SexyLips, u always asked which coffee beans to buy for cappuccino, well here is it... Espresso, from Starbucks.It's whole bean coffee but they will grind it for you...Spent the rest of day watching a lot of TV... new season of ANTM, Gossip Girls & House. Couch potato is ME!

Esther ROCKs @ Bowling!

We started with Frisbee and taught her the A & B button... the rest was history. This was Esther's 2nd game & she already got 116 marks, playing all by herself... She got 3 spare & 1 Strike!!! I'm so proud. Daddy lose as it was his 1st game.

Even MIL played too & we had a lot of laughter playing Canoeing.... hahhahah...

As I kept complaining about the quality of the Wii projection, hubby finally did something about it and now the image quality is so good... He bought NEW wires, did his magic & I'm so happy the complaining works :) Bcoz I'm begining to think about PS3 for my Guitar Hero World Tour, now no need to waste $$ liau
