Philea Resort and Spa

by

We were lucky to have caught Merryn in time before she launched herself to this beautiful resort. We decided to join in the fun with she and her family at the Earth Hour event organised by Philea Resort and Spa Ayer Keroh Malacca after the quick tour of History City Malacca.

 

I received so many reminder FB tags from Merryn to be there to join them at the pool before the dinner. Haha.. By the time we reach there, Jonathan was so tired that it took us ages to get him down into the water.

This was what greeted us as we make our ways to the pool. The rooms are made of logs and I was told this resort is the first and one of a kind to use logs with no nails to join them together. Awesome.

Look at him after he decided to “give in”…..

Jonathan @ Philea Resort Swimming Pool

Jonathan joined Ethan (on the crocodile float) in the fun with William and Merryn watching over them. Both Julie and myself did not bring swimming attire for this. Hehe. 😛

We then adjurned to the room to get the drenched gang ready for dinner. This is how it looks like inside. I feel like I’m back to basic, with the addition of Air conditioning and some touch of luxury. 🙂

These are some features of the room we stayed. Love the ambiance to the max. 🙂

The buffet line up was yummy with fresh seafood all ready to be devoured. LoL. We certainly enjoyed our time there.

For those who would want to get some time out and a good outing for the family without going far from town, this place is definitely one good choice.

Time out to History City

by

I’ve been wanting to get some time out lately due to stress at work. A short getaway is all that is needed. Few days ago, we decided to just hop onto our ride and take a tour back to the city of history, Malacca. It has been years since I last stepped my feet there. This would be the first time for Jonathan. Our mission – to munch on some of our favourite food there. Yum Yum. 🙂

At the same time, we got to know that Merryn is heading to Philea Resort and Spa for the Earth Hour event. Julie dropped her a message on FB that we’ll be going to Malacca too. Excitedly she added us into the invitation to participate in the event. Hehe.. So we get to join her in the resort for this event.

We departed on Saturday around half past noon and reached at 2 plus. Good journey with not much traffic. The first thing that awed me was how much the place has changed.

The Jonker Walks

We didn’t waste much time and head straight to the first food in our list, the Chicken rice balls of Hoe Kee Chicken Rice. When we reached there, the queue was “Bearable”.

While queuing, I reached out to my phone wanted to check in to FB and then I exclaimed…  “I LEFT MY PHONE ON THE CAR DASHBOARD”… Rushed back to the car to retrieved it. Good thing it’s still there with the car windows still attached. Phew.. We then waited for about 15 mins and the Si Tau Po asked, do you mind “Tapp Toi” with another couple. Urmm… Both Julie and I look at each other and I say, ok lar.. Would you?

Our meal consists of rice balls, chicken and assam fish. Gobbled down in just minutes. Haha.. We were hungry hungry then mar. 😛

Then we went to quick jalan-jalan (tour) around the place.

We then headed to get our favourite cendol. Not wanting to miss out the famous Jonker 88, darling and I decided to give it a try.

To our disappointment, our tastebuds disagreed to give it a pass. Then we decided to head to the stall which we normally eat and lo behold, they’ve closed shop for the day. *sigh*.. mission unaccomplished. Nevertheless, the adventure during that short tour was rewarding and managed to takes my mind off work.

Well, we then headed to Philea Resort and Spa, which is located in Ayer Keroh.

Blessed Year of the Bunny

by

Chinese New Year is just around the corner. We would like to wish all of you blessed new year. May this year brings your better health, better happyness, better prosperity and better family ties (and of course any other things important in your life). 🙂

Take this time to bond with family members, forgetting the bitter sour of the past, remember the good times spent.”Sorry” is just a word, but by merely uttering it will power the wheels of “Relieve”,  “Happiness”, and “Harmony”.

Happy New Year everyone!

Jonathan’s fav website

by

Jonathan loves his computers very much and he’s pretty much knows how to use them without us guiding him most of the times.

His favourite website now is the Disney Family Games. I personally find that this website provides many good activities for toddlers to learn words and songs.

Here’s a video of him playing one of the number matching game.

The vomiting urge has subside

by

All praises and glory be to God.

Today is the 13th day Samantha stays in the hospital. Her conditions are getting better with her urge to vomit stopped. The urge gradually lessen after blood transfusion were done on Wednesday and Thursday last week. This apparently helped to further reduce her lactate acid from 17 mmol/L to 10.1 mmol/L. That is great news for now.

She will still feel pain in the stomach and discomfort from time to time due to the acid level and air in the stomach. Sam is also very clever girl. Even if the medicine is fed via the feeding tube, she can still “feel” the medicine taste and would try to cough/vomit it out. Hopefully she will get over with it and take it willingly. 🙂

Doctor is now monitoring her progress and is expecting to discharge her by end of this week.

Julie and I are doing well. We’re blessed with Julie’s mom who is helping to take care during the day while we are at work.
Thanks to all of you for your concerns and prayers.

God is listening and answering our prayers. May all praises and glory be to our God.
