One of this kind of truck stoped beside us at the traffic light while sending Jonathan to school one of the mornings.
And you know what he told me…”Mommy, see the truck got BLANKET.”
Back for One Minute
I have not been updating our Cyberhome as often as before nor do I blog hop. Family and work is getting more demanding which I hardly have the time to think and write and edit the photos. I had few posts drafted but incomplete so could not be posted up.
For the last 6 months, many things happened and many places we’d been which I would like to share…Jonathan’s progress in school, Jonathan’s music class, our short excursion, an investment we had made, and many more. Hopefully in a next couple of days, there will some some interesting post lining up for my fellow blog reader.
Till then, have a nice day!
Philea Resort and Spa
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 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. 🙂
After freshen up, we met up for dinner in the Nusantara restaurant. The food theme of the day is Seafood in conjunction with Earth Hour 2011. We were informed in advanced that lights will be switch off from 8:30PM till 9:30PM. During this time all guests are invited to join in the fun drawing event themed “Loving Mother Earth”. Guests will be drawing in the dark. 😀
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
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.
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.

Happy Birthday, Samantha…
My little girl is one year old today. Wonder if Jesus is throwing a party for her. She must be the most beautiful child in Heaven today.
Dear Jesus, please help me to give my baby a kiss and a big hug. Tell her Daddy, Mommy and Jonathan kor-kor misses her a lot…
(This is one of the last pic I took of her before her final admission. My favourite pic and we had it on her tombstone. We photoshop away her feeding tube. She was so sweet and perfect.)
Jonathan Starting Pre-School
Once I confirmed his enrolment in a pre-school, I had been brain-washing him for weeks on going to school, his teacher’s name, the school’s name, etc. He was all excited about going to his new school.
Infact, he is nothing different than most newbies. In the first week of school, he asked me to go to school with him, refused to enter his classroom, wanted me to stay with him, held my hand so tightly, sticked to me and cried when I left him there. But he was alright after some pampering from the teacher and principal. Despite that, he still love to go to school. He would come and tell me, “Mommy, I got school today”.
Second week was a total change of him. He put on his uniform all by himself. I let him take his own sweet time in buttoning his shirt, while I make up and dress up for work. He went down from the car willingly and held the teacher’s hand, said good morning to teacher and then waived goodbye to me.
He is into the 3rd month of schooling. This boy of mine is still excited about school and I pray that he will always be. But Mommy and Daddy is so stressed out every morning having to wake up a sleepy head. I try my best not to make him grumpy else I’ll be late to work for entertaining a grumpy kid. When he got up from the wrong side of the bed, he refuse to bath, laze on the bed/couch, refuse to drink his milk, walk like a old man. When cupid strikes him, he talks, wear uniform on his own, take breakfast, carry his own school bag, wear his own shoe.
Funny things or angry moments happen every morning. Overall, I am thankful and glad. My boy had stepped in to another phase of childhood.
