Finally, we reached the hotel after the usual KL traffic jam at Bukit Bintang area. It was a gruelling 5 hours plus drive.

We went to walk around the pool area after a short rest. The weather was cloudy, so it was not too hot. DH and XN ran all other the place, jumped up and down the chairs. The place has large wide open area and also many low obstacles which made it looked like a mini play ground.

Eventually, XN did went a short swim. The pool stretched down for about 30 meters in length and only 1.4m deep. So it was quite safe to wonder around the pool.

It was the Christmas season in December. The hotel has put up a huge Christmas tree, it was not finished yet as we still see workers putting up the finishing touches on the tree late in the evening.

We went to KL this weekend to attend a wedding dinner. We stopped by Yong Peng for the famous noodles. The usual shop is not open yet, so we stopped by another shop. It was equally famous and we saw a lot of photos of famous people eating there. It tasted really good.

Lucky for us, we went there early and our food came after a short wait. When we are eating, many groups of people started to arrive at the restaurant. There were even cars from Singapore. It was good to have early lunch.

After lunch, it was back on the road.

It is December again! And time to put up the Christmas tree. This year DH is able to help out with the decorations. Although he can only reach the lower branches of the tree, he is very enthusiastic about it. XN took over after a while because DH has to go to bed already.

We went to a birthday party this evening. Grandpa and Grandma went too. There was a clown at the party, a real clown. DH and XN took back many ballon swords and flowers. DH does not know what is a clown, so he called him a 鞋人 because of the large shoe the clown is wearing.

Went to the Botanic Gardern to attend a wedding dinner. It is an evening event which is very special. This is the first time we have ever been to the Garden at night!

The location is next to the Halia restaurant which looks very different at night as compared to during day time.

The garden's water fall and plants make it a wonderful place for a stroll at night.

Today XN's school is celebrating Children's Day! XN is bringing food to the school today to share with everyone. They are hot dog cocktail with cucumbers and tomatoes. Hope her friends will like the vegetables and not just the meat.

This is XN and DH's cousin, DY. Just born today afternoon.

XN went with Grandma to see him together with 姑姑。

XN specifically wanted to meet him, we even missed an important wedding dinner this evening.

The children will have lots of fun playing together next time.

Went to the Zoo this weekend. The chance of rain was always there. But that also meant the weather was not too hot. There were also less people this time, not sure if it is because of the school holidays are going to start soon so people are holding back or due to the high chance of rain due to the recent weather.

This time we try to make it a point to see some shows which we always missed on previous trips. The elephant show starts at 11:30am. DH has been reading Noah's Ark as his bedtime stories. So he likes to call out the names of all the different animals in the book. The elephant is his favorite. Perhaps its big size makes it stands out among the other animals, so he notice it more.

The show is very entertaining. We sat in the front rows during performance and we even got wet when the elephants spay us with clean water using their nooses.

These elephant are all female and they are very strong! DH likes them very much.

After that, it was to another show "The rain forest fights back". Since this is a performance about protecting the environment, the children are less interested on its more grown-up story line.

There are numerous elephants statues all along the park with different decor. It is the theme of the month.

Last weekend, we went do McD for breakfast.

The McD at AMK garden has a playground near by and many people are there for the weekend breakfast.

The playground has a big sand pit with lots of playing equipment which are fantastic! XN and DH has a lot of fun.

After that, it was lunch at a baby full moon party. The new baby looks very cute. DH and XN even had shower at the baby house since they sweat so much at the playground.

XN went for a school trip to the exhibition in the Singapore Science Center. She brought back a fossil to experience how to be an archaeologist and digging for dino bones!

XN and DH's cousins came to stay over night during the weekend. XN and her cousin stayed up until 1am and took some bread before going to bed. Then in the morning, they woke up at 7am. It is really hard work being a child!

DH on the other hand slept at about 11:30pm yesterday because he was already very tired. This morning all the children went for a swim before having lunch at home.

Today is XN's Parent's morning day again! It is amazing how time flies!

Now that DH is 2 years old, he is able to enjoy the facilities at the school more than last year.

Grandpa is assisting DH on the monkey bars.

XN has been invited to be the flower girl for a wedding dinner next month!

It is Grandma's birthday and we had a dinner and later cakes! It was the cake of the month from Mutiara Hotel!

DH just cannot get enough of playing with water.
