XN recently went for a hair cut. 

She seems ok with it. 

 

After the haircut she still looks very nice, and it was time to open the presents!

DH also went for a hair cut on the same day too and he also did not resist it!

The next morning, we had the famous Kolok Mee for breakfast.  

This is how the relax corner looked like in day light. It felt even better sitting there with a cup of coffee in hand.


After breakfast, we went to the local market. The place was huge!  

Live bugs for snacks, anyone?  

These local plum tasted OK but there was very little meat because the seed inside was very big!  

Rambutans were in season when we were there and looked very tempting! Forgot to take pictures of the Midin, they were sold in small bunches about 10-15 sticks per bunch.  

We love Miri too! 

Went to Miri in Oct 2012. We took Airasia flying from Senai. The ticket was bought almost 1 year ago and finally we are here! 

The first thing to do after we land is to eat dinner. Since everyone was hungry we went for a restaurant which was not so crowded. DH and XN has started eating even before our order arrived!

The main item we ordered was a special vegetable that is only consumed in East Malaysia. Midin is the name. Tasted great! And hope we had more! But for the entire trip, this was the only time we ate this vegetable.

After dinner, we went back to the house and sat at a relaxing porch right in front of the house. It was one of the highlights of the trip! We really enjoyed the time spent at the corner.

However, DH had his own idea. He only enjoyed playing with his electronic pad. 

Went to Lego Land one raining evening.... it started pouring right after we enter the park. 

We were stuck in a Lego Kiosk and bought a plastic poncho for XN to walk in the rain.

She looked very bright in it. We returned home at about 6pm and had dinner at home. It was great to eat so early in the evening. We had a lot of time after that to play in the house.

We cooked simple lunch this afternoon. It was long beans, sausages, tomatoes and sauce. Yummy!

Nowadays when I ask DH where does he want to go for holiday? He will say Sabah... this absolutely cute dog is the reason! He was so afraid of the dog when we were there as it always want to lick him, but then he misses "Chairman" after we are back. 

The 2 looks very decent, good enough for passport photo.

DY came back to wish Grandma happy birthday! XN and DH was also very excited to see him again!

During dinner time DH was running around the table and DY was very curious. 

Finally during cake cutting time, DY had a group photo and he was very supportive by always looking at the camera!

We were invited to a wedding dinner in Melaka at the end of September. We knew about the trip a few months ago and were looking forward to visit Melaka again. On the way there, we stopped at Yong Peng for the famous fried mee. DH was already very hungry when we got there.

Jonker Street in Melaka has a lot of special items for sale. XN bought some pencils with very cute cartoons at the top for herself and some friends too. 

In a park at Jonker Street, there were a few brass statues that DH climbed on top for a ride.

On the way back to the hotel, DH and XN decided to take the trishaw instead of walking all the way back! It was a very warm day and it was a good choice because they were all very tired. 

At the wedding dinner, our family sat together in one table. Everyone was dressed up very nicely.

While waiting for the food to come, it was time to chit chat with everyone!

Everyone had lots of fun in Melaka. The hotel was newly renovated and it was a very pleasant stay.

It is 中秋节 again. We had a mini lantern walk at our house. Although we have left all our lanterns at Grandma's place, we managed to find 2 metal lanterns from last year. 

Lucky for us, we also found some left over candles from last year too. 

Time really flies when you are having fun. We started at about 9pm and it was already 10:20pm when we returned. 

Went to a birthday dinner on Sunday, this is the activity after dinner. All will gather automatically around the iPad either playing or watching others playing it, I wish they can be so attentive in class as well.

XN & DH enjoying the apple snacks on the see-saw. I like this snack as it is not fried and organic, but the price at the supermarket is getting more and more expensive, luckily my friend got lobang to help me get bulk purchase at a much cheaper rate so they can eat as much as they like now.

 We went to Secret Recipe for lunch after XN's dental visit, she has a new tooth coming out but the milk tooth is still very much intact, it worries us that it might affect the growth of the new tooth so we took her for a visit. Right now, all she needs to do is to shake the milk tooth everyday to loosen it so that it will just drop off naturally before the new one fully come out.

 Upon request, they are posing with funny faces in front of the giant poster. The food is so-so, but we all love the cheese cakes here, delicious and not expensive!

Saturday was opening day for Legoland Malaysia. We decided to visit place and take a look at the surroundings. It was a huge place to walk around! We did not go in but took some pictures at the entrance instead. There is also a mall next to the entrance which sells mainly food. We had our dinner there and the food tasted OK. 

At around 8:15pm the fireworks display started! It was a free for all event because the display can also be seen clearly outside the park. It was really loud, XN and DH does not feel very comfortable with the explosions so near to them.
