Merry Christmas & Happy New Year

Well, I guess this will be my last post for 2012.  Still need to settle lots of stuff at work before I go for my leave.  I will be taking a break and hopefully to spend some quality time together with the kids before school starts.  I'm really looking forward for our year end balik kampung holidays :P.

However, before I go, would like to take this opportunity to wish everyone Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!  Thank you for visiting my blog and for your lovely comments and support throughout the year!  It has been a blessing knowing all of you.

Hope you will have a good time together with your friends and family before school starts and see you next year!

Christmas @ 1U

I've been really busy at work and also with the kids since it was school holidays.   Didn't have time to update my blog.  Well, I guess next year I will have lots of updates to do.  Sorry, for not being able to visit your blogs lately.  

I am really going to miss the school holidays.  I've been enjoying the flexibility of time especially in the morning when I don't have to rush the kids to school and also to work.  One more week of rest and there goes my busy mornings :P. 

We went to 1U two weeks ago to have a look at their Christmas decoration.  This year was all about sweets.  We saw lollipops, donuts, cupcakes and etc.

Here are some of the photo that I manage to take on that day.

Lots of ideas for Christmas presents

Mini Christmas Tree

Every year, at the end of November we will be putting up our mini christmas tree.  It will be placed at the corner of our little hut :).  We did thought of buying a bigger tree but due to space constraint, we decided to be loyal to our mini christmas tree.

I bought this chrismas tree five years ago from a toys shop.  They were having some stock clearance and you wouldn't believe the price of my mini christmas tree.  It only cost me RM1 !  Super cheap, right?  I bought two trees, one at home and I put the other tree at my office.  Need to feel the christmas mood @ work too.

Here's our christmas tree after putting up all the decorations.  Lil prince have been pestering us for more christmas presents for his tree.  Last year, we bought some of his favourite foods (seaweed, biscuits and etc) and wrapped them up as christmas presents for him.  He loves it.  I guess he doesn't mind what presents he gets but it's the process of opening his presents.  It's also something we enjoyed watching when the kids open the presents and see their expression on their face ^__^.  You can see from the photo below that he has already started his collection.  Every morning, he wakes up, he will count how many presents he has under the tree!

This morning, he asked me "Mummy, can you wrapped more presents for me?" 

December is here....Christmas is coming :)

December....a month of celebration.  The month that we always look forward for especially when it comes to Christmas.  This month we will be celebrating my lil prince birthday too.  We love December and during this time, we love visiting the malls to see their Christmas decoration.

We were at Pavilion last month and was surprised that they had put up their Christmas decoration.   Lots of tall christmas trees around with nice decoration.  There was a beautiful golden carriage in the center.  What caught the attention of our kids was the mini train ride.  We were a bit reluctant to let the kids go on the train because lil princess was too young and we were afraid that she might jump of the train! (see how imaginative we can be).  Nevertheless, lil prince kept pestering us and he promised he will hold his mei mei's hand and take care of his mei mei on the train.

So, we gave in.  We bought the tickets for both of them.  It cost RM5 for each child.  This was the first time for both of them sitting on a train ride by themselves.  We kept a close watch on both of them.  Lil prince did keep his promise and hold his mei mei's hand throughout the train ride and for lil princess, she managed to sit still!  RM5 for five rounds.  A little expensive but the smiles on the kids face was worth it :P.

Next stop, we hope to see the decoration at 1U!
