Christmas Holiday in Malaysia (19 - 30 Dec 2022) - part 3 (Cameron Highlands)

On Christmas eve, we moved to another place which is the coldest place in West Malaysia. It took around 3 hours from Genting since there's traffic jam in the highway. 

When we entered Cameron Highlands area, it seemed like we were in the England suburbs. The buildings were Irish style. Thanks God our hotel was located in the city centre thus it's very convenient to find the amenities like food, laundry, pharmacies.

We had Christmas eve's dinner below the hotel, the food was good and cheap. It's a western food.

The next day we celebrated Christmas mass at the church nearby which was around 2 mins drive from the hotel. The mass was conducted in Mandarin and the homily was spoken in 3 languages.



After that we had full day tour from visiting the sheep farm, Boh tea plantation, and lavender garden and in the evening we had steamboat dinner at the hotel.




























On the boxing day, we went to Strawberries farm for strawberry handpicking, the strawberries were sweet and juicy. Then we went to Iskandar waterfall, some of us dip in the water while the rest was taking photo.








The last day before we left to Ipoh, we went to Flora park and took a lot of beautiful pictures with the flowers background. It seemed like we were in the Flower Dome at Garden by the bay.

Happy Valentine's Day 2023

This year's valentine is special. It's not just any celebration but it's a celebration of victory and marks the beginning of "new adventure". By God's grace and mercy, we reconciled during ME retreat last weekend. We were able to go back to where we were before the incident. I am full of love and able to share everything to hubby again. He becomes my best friend again, and it seems that love conquers all. And another challenge is now about "time". This first quarter is very busy period for me, traveling back and forth to Jakarta for business. Leaving my hubby and the kids behind is not a nice feeling eventhough there's a good thing on the other side of the coin as we are not taking each other for granted. As my gift of love, I want to give my precious time whenever I am available in Singapore to my hubby and the kids, thus in this valentine's day, I curated love coupons that he can redeem. Hopefully, this is something that can help us to comm

New Year Eve 2022

I am planning to hibernate during New Year Eve, sit down and doing some reflections and thinking about New Year resolutions, alas things may not happen according to my plan. I am very tired physically from the Malaysia trip. What I really want to do just sleep in and do nothing but what make me tired mentally is we fight over trivial matters. It started well this morning, we brought the kids out to West Coast for breakfast and strolled in the park. Hubby asked me what will be the plan for today as he wanted to give some year end speeches to the kids. I told him, I had no plan at all as I was very tired. I just wanted to stay at home and rest. He was quiet but I didn't notice it as I was quiet too to reflect what I have done this year and what will be my new year resolutions. When we went home everything was normal, I asked our helper to clean our car and did grocery for next week meals. While waiting the car wash done, I wrote this blog about our Malaysia trip. After she's done

Dreams come true - Cappadocia (day 7)

This is the highlight of Cappadocia which is hot air balloon ride. As it depends a lot on the weather, we were lucky that we could fly to watch sunrise. We were picked up around 5.30am in the morning to Urgup area and arrived 20 mins later. They provided us with light breakfast while they lit up the balloon.  We started riding it around 6.20am and it's so breathtaking to see the Goreme area and hundreds of balloon joining us. The sunrise is around 7am and by 7.30am we already landed safely.  We had champagne celebration and received certificate too and returned back to our hotel for breakfast. Around 10am, we were picked up for Green Valley tour. Stopped by at Goreme Panorama and Pigeon valley for photo spots. After that, we went to Underground city where Anatolian people lived underground to survive from natural disaster and dangers. It's amazing how they build the houses and lived there for a long period of time. Then, we continued our tour to Selime Monastery and Cathedral w
