Capri by Fraser, KL – A Little Gem for Families!
Waking up in the wee hours of the morning, I discovered to my shock (more like horror) that we had forgotten to prepare a flask of hot water to make milk for Buddy. In fact, all the used bottles were not even cleaned as we had returned late from our Chinese New Year Reunion Dinner with my extended family, whom I've not met in the past year. Earlier in the day, Angie had also discovered that we urgently needed some laundry service for our kids’ clothes as we had underestimated the number … [Read more...]

Random Notes at the Hotel…
Daddy posted on his FB the day we left, "a short getaway is still a getaway...". How apt. We thank God that in the midst of crazy busy May, our family was able to book a flight and escape to nearby KL for the family wedding. We were also grateful that through our brother-in-law's help, we were able to put up at a swanky 5-star hotel which eased my frazzled nerves of having to take care of a sick child on our travels. Getting inspiration from the Twin TowerOne evening, as we were … [Read more...]
