Mum's Birthday

I know its going to be a month since we celebrated her birthday. I have had no time to update the blog since the school reopened. So, I am slowly updating it now. Her birthday is just 2 days after Christmas. A day before her birthday we told her there will be no cooking and the kitchen would be closed for a day but she managed to make breakfast for us in the morning. That's mum who will never stay unoccupied. We took her for lunch at the Thai restaurant in Bukit Jambul Golf Club. Of course she couldn't eat much as she was a vegetarian. She had some vege stuff and mango pulut. The mango pulut was really good. The pulut was creamy and nice. The food there was fantastic especially the tom yam. Thumbs up for the restaurant.

Coffee @ Starbucks.....d kids favourite hangout.......

Later in the evening, we took the girls to Starbucks. They love the place so much. If we ask them where they would like to go, they will say "want to go to Starbucks". The place is windy and it is facing the sea so the view is nice. But I don't think that's the reason they like to go there. It is because of the LOLLIPOPS and the berry juice.

Happy Birthday To You.......

Sumi managed to get her a vegetarian cake. Apparently King's Bakery sells vegetarian cakes. One need to order a few days prior t0 the event. The cake tasted just like the normal cake......very tasty. We had the celebration at the pool side in Sumi's condo. Dad didn't turn up as he was busy watching EPL in the mamak shop. He has got a big gang who likes to watch with him......they are none other than the USM students. He doesn't miss a match. Such an ardent fan he is. No need to read the newspaper to get the latest results of EPL. He knows everything. Football is everything for him nowadays. Anyway, Happy Birthday to you amma! We love you very-very much.

At the end of the holidays, I have managed to gain a lot of weight. Thanks to all the fattening food I had in Penang......a food paradise. Penang is a real haven when it comes to food. My colleague Zt has been calling me to go to Fitness First with her. Mmmmm......Seriously thinking about it.........

X'Mas In Kugan's House

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way............all the way to Kugan's house. We decided to have a small xmas party in his house since the roads in Penang will be packed with revellers. No way of going out anywhere. The menu was roasted chicken, pasta, salad and vege mee hoon for my mum. Mum's roasted chicken was a hit. It tasted damn good......finger lickin' good. The kids got their presents as well from everyone. I love Christmas simply because of its spirit....the spirit of sharing and giving.

OUR RECENT HOLIDAYS.........

Hi-Tea At The G Hotel, Penang

Every year mum would be a vegetarian during her birthday.She will be a vege for two months starting from December till Thaipusam. Since her birthday falls during that period of time, it would be very diificult for us to take her out for dinner. So we decided to give her treat at the G Hotel way before her birthday or to be more precise before she started being a vegetarian. The food was absolutely nice. A lot of varities. She, being a picky eater enjoyed herself that day. Too bad, none of our other halves joined us. Suresh had a meeting, Guna and Leena were in KL. My dad didnt want to join. So, it was simply the Kanapati's gathering minus my dad.

Bubble Time

Holidays in Penang is not complete without a visit to Gurney Drive. The children simply love the place coz they can have a bubble of time there. For them Gurney Drive is all about playing bubbles by the sea side. For their sake, we will make it a point to visit the place whenever we go there. A nice place to go for a stroll at night. A happening place coz there's a hotel and a shopping mall opposite of this place and we can see people from all walk of life there. Food....they have everything that Malaysians crave for. We will be spoilt for choice. The food here is a bit pricey and you get too little for the price you pay for. Food wise it has lost its charm. The sea too is dirty and full of rubbish. Nevertheless, it is still the best place to go to unwind ourselves.

One Night Stay At The Boulevard Hotel, KL

Sumi came for a meeting in KL so we stayed with her in the Boulevard Hotel. Very-very convenient to go shopping in Mid Valley since the hotel is just adjacent to the mall.

An Evening At Feringghi Beach

The beach was so smelly and filthy. Rubbish could be seen everywhere. What disgusted us was, people were bringing dogs for an evening walk at the beach. The dogs were pissing and pooing everywhere. Malaysians' mentality..........
