I wish that every sister have a brother like this:

I know I do not have any music talent. My father who didn’t take any music lesson but he is gifted with the harmonica. He can play by ear. I am still finding out if my girl inherited his talent.

Ever since I bought the piano for her, she did spend time practicing. One day I am hoping she can play other instruments like guitar, violin, harmonica, flute and even cello. It is great to hear her play music on the piano.

Yew Sang is a dish we eat during Chinese New Year. It has mixed vegetables like carrots, radish, ginger, mixed fried crackers and of course the raw salmon. My children like to eat this. There are 2 places I would get this, Sushi King and Jusco Sushi counter and I tell you why. They do not provide any fake coloring stuff as most places do. On top of that, the salmon is quite fresh.

We had the first 2013 yew sang on 12 Jan 2013 and I am sure there is more to come. Cannot wait for Chinese New Year!!

Congratulations to these winners!!! I will be reaching out to you through email on your prize. Thank you the rest for participating. If you want the Monster High dolls, do go to Toys’Rus.

1. CL Says:

Given name: Makayla
Personality: Just as the meaning of the name suggested, ‘who resemble God?’ Makayla has a God like heart and kindness. She has dark shiny hair and striking features, but don’t her beautiful sweet face fool you, she is possessiveness, egotism or has a more dominating personality. She believes she is the leader of all. However, she is optimistic, honest and loyal to her family and friends.

When she is mad or crossed at something, everybody would know because she screams extremely loud and her hair are all spike up and her finger nails grow longer.

2. Malaika Says:

Given name: Violet Tutan
Personality: She is the only out of wed lock daughter of Tutankhamun. Her distinct feature is her violet hair and voilet-ish skin tone. She loves playing the piano and can sing really well. She loves baking but is a horrible baker. Somehow her baking goods tastes like dirt. Her friends doesn’t have the heart to tell her the truth, so they always pretend that her baking products were delish. They even convinced her to open a pastry shop. She hates dishonest people. When she is angry, she goes back to the violet pyramid and plays The flight of the bumblebee piece.

3. Jenny Says:

Lysandera ‘Ly’ Davenport is a skinny and tall elf. She is dark-haired with brown eyes that seem to stare into your soul. She is very pretty but believes herself dimmed in comparison to the other ghouls. She is long-limbed but has very delicate features. She has very pointy elbows and dark eyebrows. Ly is easily upset and can be provoked by mild actions, she’s sensitive. She is strong and witty, and always says straight out what’s she’s thinking. She isn’t shy; on the contrary she’s one of the most confident elves. She is capable of very high things including giving others the confidence that they need. Ly is, in truth, an elf with the power to tell stories so enchanting and powerful that they could capture a person and actually make them feel as though they were living in the story. She also loves singing and nature.

Due to school holidays, Petrosains was flooded with visitors. If I knew I could book through calling in, I would have done it. It was really a horrible experience. I brought my children there at 12 noon but I was only able to get 3:30pm tickets!!

The Q to get into the ride takes an hour! One family told me that he was there like 10 am but only give 2:30pm tickets. He also told me those came after him was able to get 2pm tickets. I did asked the counter but they told me it was for those who have membership or pre-book tickets. If they can fit people in at 2pm, why can’t they give me 2:30pm tickets? When I got the tickets, the cashier told me that it was full, yeah right?!

By the way, the cashier also discouraged us from getting the tickets, she told me that by the time I get in, it is time to close. She asked me to come another day! I just shook my head. If they were more efficient, they probably can get people in. The Q to the ride took more than 1 hour??!!

At 3:30pm, they told us that if you do not want to Q for the ride, we can go in using the lift. Well if the ticket counter staff told us that, we would just done that. After all, we just want to get in and play!

Lastly at 4:50pm, my girl wanted to go for the slide. The staff told us it has just closed and pointed at the closing time which is 5pm. I show him my watch. He showed me his time which is 4:55pm, 5 minutes faster. I told him that it is still not 5pm! He gave me the excuse that they followed the clock upstairs. I asked him to call his supervisor. He went up to talk to another staff and later willing to let my girl do the ride.

I think this will be my last visit there! Poor management and worst of all most of the things in there are spoilt and poorly maintained!

i-City located in Shah Alam, about 30 minutes drive from town. I heard so much about it and wanted to go many times but failed to do so. Finally I took the kids there. I expected a mall to be there but no shopping places. There were also not many food places to dine, only KFC and old Town White Coffee.

The main attractions were the lights and Snowland. My kids love the Snowland but we were not prepared. If you are going to Snowland, make sure you have long pants, shoes that cover the feet and a face mask. I lost count of how many air conditional blowers in there, the cold air just make your face freeze!

They were in short pants and slippers, see how prepared we were. I had to loan boots for RM10 each. Winter jackets were given free. The slides in there were pretty cool. One lady slide down and lost her shoes in the pile of snow. She was jumping up and down because it is not fun to step on ice. The staff managed to dig out her shoes for her.

After Snowland, the weather turned bad and started to rain. We sat there waiting for the rain to stop. While waiting, we played Temple Run on the iPhone. Finally the rain stop, we headed to the tree of lights were and sat the cable train around the park. It was really pretty!

Sad to say, the rain came again. Finally we gave up and headed home. Maybe next time we will bring daddy along.

Enjoy the pictures…
