Bangkok - June 2017

Bangkok with the kids - first time ever! MIL came with us as well. We had so much fun!

Ancient City Muang Boran - this is a really cool open-air museum with more than 120 replicas of famous monuments from different regions across Thailand. We got around in a rented golf cart- which we allowed the boy to drive in short stretches (shhh) - and it was so much fun, although it was very very very hot!

Erawan Museum

Bangkok is one destination that is definitely worth a repeat trip (or repeated trips...)! Oh, and we introduced the kids to the awesome desserts in After You 😊

Pangkor Laut - Merriment and Mishap

A work trip to Pangkor Laut Resort- HOW COOL IS THAT?!?

What a beautiful place, as you can see from the gorgeous photos below. Really hope to be able to bring the family here one day. 

So beautiful!

Hornbills on my balcony

What's this about a mishap, then? Well, I guess I shouldn't have mucked around doing wall sits in the afternoon. My legs were probably a bit wobbly in the evening, and with all the merriment going on- music, wine and dancing... I really don't know what happened. Suddenly my right knee gave way, I heard a crack and then I landed on the floor! OMG. I was in a lot of pain, but my karaoke song was up next and I braved through the song nevertheless. 

I really couldn't continue with the fun after that though- the pain was too much to bear and my colleagues helped me back to my chalet. My knee had swollen up by then and I needed ice, etc. Thank God I had a doctor colleague there.

I had to leave earlier the next day to get back to KL, given my injury. I hitched a ride with the big boss- very grateful for that. 

Went to the hospital the next day; the diagnosis- a dislocated patella 😭😭

My New Mazda!

 Check out my new ride! Love the colour - Deep Crystal Blue 😍😍

Jalan-jalan: Petaling Street, Central Market

It has been a while since we played tourist where we live. Check out our photos below. Quite a fun experience!

Coconuts are really multi-purpose! These bags further below are quite unique- eh?

The kids had fun doing some batik painting as well.They didn't get to try the waxing though- just the painting bit.

Bank Negara Malaysia Museum and Art Gallery

We finally made a trip here- and wow, we were very impressed indeed. Highly recommended! A fun and educational day out.

Check out some photos below.

Rainbow Nation

Can you see the tiny faces?

KL Upside Down House

I wonder how many people know about this attraction in KL. We decided to check it out and was pleasantly surprised at how much fun we had posing! Getting good photos do take some skill though- for both model and photographer. Haha!

Wine & Dine Dinner

Thanks to our dear CG member, we scored an invitation to a lovely wine and dine dinner at Oversea PJ. Chinese food and wine? It IS a thing, really. I am not a wine expert- so I can't really comment on the wines- but the food was yummy, and I have to say the wines went well with the different courses.

What a fun night with our CG members!

SpongeBob Run!

This was our first run together as a family. The theme looked promising enough, and the T-shirts were certainly very cool! Haha.

We waited wayyyy too long for the run to start though, which meant it was really hot when we finally got moving. This was a 3km run- and the kids struggled (as did I :p). Hopefully this will not deter us from doing more family fun runs together!

Super cute stuff from the run

Petrosains

It has been a while since we visited Petrosains. The kids had fun- although I think the exhibits were largely the same. Hmmm.

Better for the kids now, as they are older and have better understanding of things. But I don't think we will be back for a while....or ever?

La Juiceria

So we finally had a meal here. It was surprisingly yummy, and yes- it felt relatively healthy!

The juices were delicious as well- even the ones with lots of vegetables in them. I think we will be seeing more of La Juiceria....

Nasi Lemak Wrap!

Yummy!
