We usually think that it would be very hard for elderlies to go travel far places but it is still possible. Not only it is possible, it can be the best moment in their lives.Even elderlies traveling with their beloved grandchildren can be free from stressful experience.This grandparents-grandchildren travel thing is known as intergenerational travel. The grandparents having fun and the

Gillece Plumbing. I had recently gotten a new job, and my wife and I decided to throw a party for my new boss and some of my colleagues from the office. On the day of the party everything had gone according to plan. My wife was busy in the kitchen cooking and baking. I had gone to the grocery store to get some nice steaks and an extra bag of charcoal for the grill. When I got home chaos was

A husband who travels around the globe frequently can make her wife happy by taking her with you. It may not work out often because of the kids but taking her to some of your trips and transform it into a big date will be a good idea to maintain your loving relationship for each other.

The rules to travel abroad with your pet are constantly untightening. Right now, they use ISO microchips that they place on your pet so traveling through airports is not a problem anymore. Most countries use this instead of the universal international health certificate. Some use Blue Pet Passport. However, the Blue Pet Passport can only be issued by veterinarians in the Europe and it is only

Jet lag, by Wikipedia, is medically referred to a dysenchronosis. It is a physiological condition from rapid long-distance trans meridian (east-west or west-east) travel usually by airplane. This results from alterations to the body’s circadian rhythms. A circadian rhythm is an endogenously driven roughly 24-hour cycle in biochemical, physiological, or behavioral processes. But most of us think

As a frequent traveler from Asia, I am always on the lookout for cheap accommodations and cheap flights. Indeed, internet has helped a lot in the sense that you can actually find the accommodation and the flight you are looking for because there are just millions of information available online. There are a lot of cheap accommodations available when you book online but I think it is rare that you

One of the most memorable things we can do as a family is when we do things together. We eat at the table together, we go to the park together, we watch movies together, etc. There's nothing like spending time with your family. And speaking of watching movies together... we do this very often. Both my husband and I try to watch movies with our kids, especially on Fridays because then the kids can

I don't get to watch NFL too often but everytime I do, I would surely be stuck until the end of the game. Now that the new NFL is coming, I wonder who would make it to the top players. Since I am a fan of whoever is the top player, I can name a few who made it to my favorite top three players, in order. I would take Adrian Peterson, of RB, Minnesota Vikings who is unquestionably the top running

Victoria Peak is the highest point of the whole of Hong Kong Island. There are modern malls, restaurants, museums, theatres and various recreational facilities. The spectacular view of Hong Kong with stunning skyline and dazzling neon makes you feel dazzled.I took several photos of Hong Kong skyline from different angles. These were the best angles I could take. It was foggy when we reached there

One of the highlights we had when we were in Hong Kong was at Victoria Peak. I discovered there were few ways to get to The Peak:1. By car or cab. You can drive straight to the Peak.2. Take a bus straight to the peak.3. Take a bus and stop at the foot of the Peak and take the Peak Tram. We took the double-decker bus that didn't have a roof at the top. We took the bus that would take us to the

The first thing we did when we reached Hong Kong was to visit our friends who did the arrangments of our stay there. It was one MTR (rail) ride away from Shueng Sui.The kids played in their house. Their daughter, Phoebe, was one adorable girl. She's very sweet, too. My girl slept on the way to their house so while waiting for her to wake up, my boy and Phoebe were playing.This is their house in

The next leg of our trip to the Orient was in Hong Kong. It takes about an hour to reach Hong Kong from Macau by Ferry. We took two MTR (rail) rides from the Ferry Terminal to Shueng Sui, in Kowloon, the place our friend put us in. It's not the most convenient to be staying there because it would take an hour to get to the center of Hong Kong, but we didn't have a choice. Our stay there was for

After breakfast on our third day in Macau, we went to take a bus that would take us to a Ferry Terminal in Macau. The ferry ride from Macau to Hongkong took 1 hour. I was surprised that both children had to pay full fare. That was actually not in my budget but since I had extra, we were able to compensate it...Another tip to remember: when you do budgeting, make sure you set aside for "

People come to Macau mainly for two reasons: To see the colonial buildings and for entertainment but mainly for entertainment. There are not a lot of malls in Macau. I think they have one or two. They have boutiques though. So if you're into branded products, it is great to visit Macau... and of course if you didn't mind the price as well.People usually go to The Venetian for entertainment.

We met at a coffee shop in Midvalley Megamall. Coffee shops have wif-fi. We discussed our trip over coffee and internet. So we started doing some research on what to do where.

The highlight of our Langkawi trip was the island hopping we took. We thought it's about time we do something more adventurous as a family. We went to see 3 beautiful islands.The boy had problem with the speed at first. He said it was too fast. So we asked the "boat driver" to slower it down a bit. Good thing he complied.We stopped at Dayang Bunting first. Dayang Bunting is an island that has a

We drove to the northern part of Langkawi today. We wanted to check out the Seven Wells and the waterfall. I actually thought we could just drive there and when we get down from the car, we would be at the scenic spot already. Only to discover that we had to trek and it's going uphill. We took the stairway. It said it would take around 600 steps to get to the Seven Wells. I really didn't mind.

We are now booked for a 5 day-stay at Langkasuka Beach Resort in Langkawi. A couple friends was generous enough to offer us a hotel stay for free. Thanks Patrick and Jo. Our tickets were booked last year in July when the was zero (0) airfare offered by Air Asia.Now I am starting to pack. And I'm trying to pack light. Is that even possible? Well, let's see.So what does Langkasuka Beach Resort

Cameron Highlands is a special place for me and hubby. It's where EVERY thing was revealed. The unfolding, we call it. We used to go there at least two times in one year just to do our retreat. After our girl was born, we've stopped going there... for reasons I can't remember.We just came back from Cameron Highlands and it was awesome to visit the place again. So refreshing because of the

This is the park across our house. I love the majestic view of the building behind it at sunset. You won't see the sunset though because it's on the other direction.

They say the best satay is in Kajang. I say the best satay is in USJ 18, specifically in my house. Hehehe.Satay or sate is a dish consisting of diced or sliced chicken, goat, mutton, beef, pork or fish; the more authentic version uses skewers from the midrib of the coconut leaf, although bamboo skewers are often used. These are grilled or barbecued over a wood or charcoal fire, then served with

Great place to hang out. Great place to spend family time. Great place to do reflections. What can I say? The place was stunning. I have been here a few times but never get to stay. Everytime we want to book a stay, they're always full, all year round. So if you want to stay in this beautiful place, you need to book like 6 months to onr year in advance.

And that's the most important thing... to do it's function and purpose.Sometimes we think we are too much of what we are doing. There's no such thing.

Loved the Khmer style of spa and massage at Amret Spa in Phnom Penh. The first night we went for a cheap massage... like 2.50$ for one hour. I laid down on the massage bed and the lady started smashing me up... and it hurt like crazy. After 15 minutes it was done. Finished. Just like that. It was a traumatic experience. So the next day, hubby and I looked for a quality one. Searched the Phnom

This was my first time to Cambodia. We planned this trip last year when hubby was setting up his schedule for 2009, after having realized we could leave the kids with my parents-in-law. I was glad that during the first few years of their lives, we were able to build enough trust and confidence in them that now we could leave them behind.We actually didn’t just leave them like that. We had a

I wanted to take photograph of Cambodia from the plane before it landed. There laid before my eyes were paddy fields. It looked like most of the land was composed of paddy fields. And so barren, I wondered.Before coming to Cambodia, my husband made a plan to visit some landmarks in Phnom Penh. We visited the Toul Sleng Genocide Museum. There my eyes were opened.

Ever since hubby (my boyfriend then) met me and decided I was the one for him, he started giving me a bunch of flowers a month. He used to give me flowers on the 22nd of each month because I said yes to him on the 22nd of April. But sometimes, it's a struggle to maintain the date coz he would be very busy. So I suggested he could give me flowers any time of the month. It's less pressure.For seven

As a family, it is important to go for a break or getaway from time to time. It fosters bonding between members of the family.

Mothers could get very busy keeping the household together and yet not enough time to spend with kids and husbands. Children could get very busy playing or studying or

And so... to make the long story short, I'm gonna make a summary of my recent trip to Phuket with hubby.

On December 31, 2008... we were in Phuket. We slept in in the morning. We need not worry about rushing up because we had a car to use. So we drove into Phuket, looked for Black Canyon coffee for breakfast. Only to realize they moved to another location, at Central Festival mall. So we went to Coffee Lovers instead. Peter had chocolate waffle with ice cream... yes, for breakfast.And I had waffle

After staying in Racha Island for 3 days, we went back to Phuket to see places I wanna see. Places that had created a memory in me. Places that I had share with Peter during the courtship days. But of course, we had to meet old friends first. So I called Somchai... whom I know could help us with accommodation and transportation. Times like these, it's good to meet the right person. And we did. We

One of the things I missed about being in Phuket is going to an island for a snorkeling. You can snorkel so much you won't realize how much time you spend above waters. Good thing hubby loves snorkeling too. So I made sure we did that. I didn't go for the day trip because I already knew the good snorkeling spot. We only rented the snorkeling equipment for 80Baht per day. Going for day trip with

I finally brought my hubby to Raya Island. I'd been wanting to take him there... but due to some reasons, we just couldn't do it. This time, last December, we decided to take a break sans kids. It was the right time, I guess as Samantha has overcome her separation anxiety already. As I posted earlier, our director of the foundation I was connected with used to take us there for team bonding. I

Or the Raya Island. It was where our director took us everytime we go for team buildings. We went there a few times and I can say that Raya Island is the most beautiful island in Phuket. It surely was a paradise.I sent a couple friends there for their honeymoon once and I thought I would surely take Peter there... to see the place, to experience the place... and just to be in that place.How to

My friend Aisha and I loved going to the pier of Ao Chalong (Chalong Bay) for afternoon walks. We used to go there almost everyday. It used to be quieter though. Now it's full of speed boats, cruisers, and long tail boats. The Chalong Bay itself has developed so much. There are more shops now... more massage parlors, more pubs, more hotels, more restaurants, etc. It's not the same old Ao Chalong

I used to take Hubby for dinner at Kan Eang Restaurant. It is situated along the beach of Ao Chalong, south of Phuket. I used to live nearby (Fisherman Way, Rawai) so I know the place well. The restaurant has improved so much. The ambience was nicer, more authentic, with live band playing in the background. Well, the prices had gone up too... which shocked my beauty to death. LOL. As always, we

Everytime we go to Hatyai, either by bus, train or by car, we always end up having breakfast at our favorite Dimsum place, the Bird's Nest. This trip was not an exemption. In fact, we invited friends to join us for breakfast. I know there are a lot of cheaper and better Dimsum in Malaysia... it's just that we have started the tradition already. It's like always coming home to a breakfast... you

So I started doing Tae Bo again. The last time I did Tae Bo exercise was when I was preparing for my wedding... I had to get my body ready for my ideal wedding gown! I love the result of tae bo... coupled with pilates was even better.What is Tae Bo, by the way? Tae Bo is an aerobic exercise routine developed by tae kwon do practitioner Billy Blanks.

My friend Loretta was kind enough to let me know she was planning a China trip. Since I really wanted to go to China... in fact I had been planning to visit China next year... I told her I was going to consider it. I had been facebooking about my China trip since two weeks ago when I was about to book my ticket to Macau.

I was quite impressed with the technology they are using even at Budget Terminals here in Malaysia. When hubby and I flew to Alor Star, hubby took me to a machine. I was wondering why we went there... until I read "self check-in."It helps a lot especially when you're in a hurry. There is no more long queue. You just go and check-in yourself. It's probbaly just for Air Asia flights. Oh well, the

Our friends, Patrick and Josephine, took us to a seafood last Saturday. The kids were with my parents-in-law so I and hubby truly enjoyed the food...without having to worry whether the kids would have enough to eat or what... They took us to Damansara Village Seafood Restaurant in PJ (Petaling Jaya). We had big crabs and steam boat seafood with herbal soup.These are fresh crabs, direct from the

Here are the pics I took while walking around The Curve.I think The Curve spent so much just to make all these Decos.Seeing all those with friends was really fun.
