Selamat Hari Merdeka!

Just to wish all Malaysians out there a very Happy Merdeka Day and since tomorrow is the first day of Ramadhan (so glad that it is a public holiday here in Malaysia), I would like to also wish all Muslims, 'Selamat Berpuasa' (Happy Fasting). Naz and I are so looking forward to visiting the Ramadhan market again after one whole year! My hope is that our little princess Munira, will be able to fast again for the whole of Ramadhan, just like last year...:)

A short trip to Melaka

Naz and I took last Friday off to bring the kids to Melaka for a short holiday. They had a splendid time, especially when they had ice-cream almost 2-3 times a day (only during vacations that they are allowed to do so). Anyway, let the photos do the talking...

Just arrived. About 1:25pm, Friday, August 22


First activity after lepaking for a few minutes in the room


Then, went for a late lunch at Mahkota Parade. This was taken at Candy Land inside Mahkota Parade's Food Court


On our way to lunch, we saw a new tower by the road side and decided to try it out. We later found out that the tower is called the Menara Taming Sari. Here's the replica of the tower that we will be on in the next few minutes


Waiting excitedly to board the ride


On the ride that goes around in a 360 degree circle at 110 metres above the ground


Peace...

Woken up...

Last Sunday, for the very first time, the baby woke me up - with 3 soft kicks, very early in the morning.... I was shocked at first but could not stop smiling after that. Those were actually the first real kicks I've felt since I got pregnant hehe.

This morning I was woken up again but this time, even earlier - 4:00am. Not because of the baby though. It was because I was thinking and worrying so much about work. I tried very hard but just could not get back to sleep. This is bad. It is happening again. The last time this happened was like two years ago when I literally broke down and confronted my boss.

Anyway, in the process of trying to relax my tensed body and mind, I suddenly started thinking about friends from the office whom have left. All the wonderful memories I had with them - Joal and John who are back in the Philippines, Pat, Steph and Sheryl who are in KL but can hardly meet, Joel and Joy in Australia, Charis who is leaving to the U.S. soon and Tse Leng who is London. I miss them so dearly...:(
