The Phantom of the Opera

Have you heard? The Phantom is in town. In Marina Bay Sands of course, where else.

Well, me, Bella and Belle went for the opening night on the 16th July 2013. To be able to watch my favorite musical live, the feeling is beyond words. The music, the orchestra, the stage, makes me feel as if i'm part of it. (Have to pinch myself to make sure i'm not dreaming. Of course we have to thank my beloved hubby for all this!!)

It was a 2 hrs 30 minutes play with a fifteen minutes interval (for toilet break la).

The theatre was filled with die hard fans - must be la if not why wanna waste money to buy the expensive tickets right? Not a single seat was empty. 

Overall it was amazing but I personally think that the Phantom's (dunno why i always love the bad guy) voice wasn't as good as Gerard Butler (*drools*). That's just my opinion tho prolly I'm Gerard's fan. The props and costume was very nice except the part on Masquerade where the Phantom is suppose to be in a red costume, I prefer the costume in the movie. 

While we are enjoying the play....my poor little Dom is crying for mommy. My heart sank when i knew he was crying for an hour plus....even daddy couldn't do anything except carrying him all the time. Sigh. My poor boys. 

Anyway, it's definitely a play that one should not miss it for the world...if you are a fan of course. But I think the tickets are sold out loooooong time already. 

Here are some of the pics. Enjoy!

All these pictures are taken from the book that we bought in MBS. 

Don't miss the opportunity to catch the Phantom live if you can.

Late Father's Day post

This year.... It so happens that Father's Day fell on the day we visited Seoul Tower. 

Yes it's the same picture from previous post except this one is with some "I love my daddy" words and date and time stamp.  ;)

Daddy knows that his girls and his little charmer loooooves him very much!! The most important thing for us is that we are able to be there for each other at all times is the best gift ever.

Happy belated Father's Day to everyone!!

Back to reality...

We've been to Korea, Shanghai and Penang for this June holiday. Its by far the most places we've been in a month. Lol. It's tiring yes, but definitely a lot of fun. (Carrying an infant is more than tiring...it's 10x worse!)

Well, Seoul is just another major city. Busy and dusty and packed with people and cars. People are quite friendly despite the communication problems but it seems that mandarin are more common than english. Hmmmm....we definitely should brush up on our mandarin. Luckily the tour group for this trip comprise of friendly people and also a lot of kids! Thank god is a "kid friendly" group. As usual my little charmer is the prince charming that captures everyone's  heart. Everyone adores him! We even have "fans" trying to take his pictures secretly! Gosh! The tour leader has to shoo them away! 

Then in Jeju Island, its more like another Penang Island. Sceneries and cooling weather. Nothing fancy. Food is waaaaay better than the the food served in Seoul. (How come they always eat hotpot ha? Even in summer oso hotpot meh? Not hot enough meh? Walao! Beh tahan!)

Ok after 8 days in Korea, we are off to Shanghai, China. First, we went to Suzhou, where we went to some rich man's house to see his garden. Honestly, to me its nothing to boast about. Its just another big house with huge garden. Then we went straight back to Shanghai for some shopping at Nanjing Road and the ever famous Shanghai Bund. 

That's it. That's our 11 days Korea Shanghai holiday trip for this year. Of course I know that no matter how much I describe and say, a picture always speaks a thousand word.

Then, we are off to Penang again. Back to Penang is just our "balik kampung" visit friends and families. 

Okay. Its picture time!

    Fake Stonehenge but look at the "floating mountains" in the background. Stunning view!

      River cruise - Lunch. We had about 6 person in our tour suffered from food poisoning after this meal. Apparently, not that clean huh.

    Lotte World - More like Korean USS. Lots of things to see. It's fun.

    When we are here (Seoul Tower behind) it so happens it's Father's Day. We didn't go up to the Seoul Tower cause we don't have enough time.

    The view from Korean Paradise Island. Amazing isn't it? 

    The view along the way. We travelled by bus so we just snap as much pictures as we can on the surrounding areas that we covered.

   The 7 fairies bridge.

      Teddy Bear Museum - quite interesting, definitely fun for kids.

   Pudong, Shanghai airport.

   The birds nest Olympic stadium that changes colors.

    I like this koffy bottle. Think it looks like the olden Chinese wine jar.

    Picture taken at Nanjing Road after shopping.

  The ever famous Shanghai Bund. 

    This is the view before we left Shanghai.

Next Holiday Destination : Korea & Shanghai

Hello everyone. Yup it's our next holiday destination for this year's June school holidays. Watching all those Korean dramas, we are finally going to these "drama country"!

At first we were reluctant to go cause of the North Korea missile bombing....bla bla bla. Then we opt for Taiwan or Hong Kong. Then again, the little voice inside us kept telling us to go for Korea instead. So, we lookout for the news regarding Korea on how safe it was and about tourism as well. Nothing much. Everyone is planning to go Korea. Most of the tour company that we went to offered a trip to Korea and the flights are all fully booked. I guess everyone is thinking the same thing as us. (I'm ranting am I?)

Me and both my girls were chatting and we asked each other, would any of us be able to recognize any Korean celebs if they happen to walk pass us? LOL. Guess u know our answer. Koreans all look the same! Duh! Even the news said the same thing. It's their plastic surgeon's fault! They should be more creative. Hehehehe.

Oh ya....for this trip...we got an additional 3 days 2 nights in Shanghai for free cause we opt for the cheaper airline. Obviously it's China Airline la...that's why we we are going to Shanghai cause we will be transiting there. I think because there are no tickets for direct connecting flights for us. Niway, lucky us!

We are counting the days! 14 more days to go! I suppose it's summer there. The weather forecast says the daily temp is about 24 degrees in the afternoon and about 13 degrees night time. Gotta buy a little thicker clothing for my darling boy. Don't want him to catch cold when we are traveling. Still to do some shopping (eventhough I knew deep down that it's just another reason for me to shop but who cares, we are all excited!).

Okay...its past midnight. Time to be a moo-moo-cow again. Will post up some pics when we are back!! Come back for more ya.

Mother's Day!!

Yay! It's one of my favorite celebrations of the year! Honestly, I just love being a mom. Who doesn't? When they "salary" is pure love that consists of hugs and kisses. Of course, there are some downsides as well, but its nothing when compare to the amount that I got paid! Now both my girls are busy preparing presents and cards (with beloved Daddy of course) simply cause I told them I want my presents when the clock struck 12. Hehehe.

Ok we will see the presents later.

Well, Dom is a bubbly and chubby 6 months old now. (That means my breastfeeding journey has reached another milestone. Yay for me!) He is extremely active, bouncy and of course a very happy baby. His smiles and his little dimples....is just too cute for words. Bella..well...she is going to be a teenager this year. Nuff said. Belle...well she is tween now so....Nuff said also.  ;) 

My kids, I love them to bits! Tomorrow we're all gonna wear same shirt, same color to dinner. It's gonna be cute I bet. Pictures of course will be uploaded later.

Now...what's your plan for your mother this year? Share with me. If it's interesting then maybe I can suggest to my girls and boys to do it next year.

Happy Mother's Day to all!

Starting all over!

Well, proudly I can tell the world I have successfully breast feed my baby for almost 3 mths now. I know it's not much but it's a huge milestone for me and my darling boy. Been through the stress of sore, crack and bleeding nipples and yet have to continue breast feed and pump, it's a painful journey but its worth it when I see my boy sleeping soundly after each feed. That's not all....the stress of not having enough for my baby, which food not to take and which food to take and the top of the list....not having enough SLEEP. All that mix together spells the big word STRESS! But like I said...it's worth it.

Yesterday we just weighed Dominic, he's 6.1 kg already and he's just 2.5 months old. So I guess my milk is enough for him after all. After so many years (both Bella & Belle already in their Tweens) of not taking care of baby, I find it extremely taxing even tho my daily routine is just to feed feed feed and feed. It's starting all over for me. I feel like this is my first time all over again. I loooooove it!

Ok gotta replenish and feed again. :)

Happy New Year!!

We lived thru the so called "21 December 2012 - the day the world ends". At that time we were happily holiday-ing in Australia - all 5 of us caravan-ing from Sydney to Melbourne. We were down under for almost 3 weeks and we had the best time ever! :)

So this new year we would like to wish everyone a better health, more happiness and abundance of wealth!!!
