This week was an awesome week of taking the girls on vacation. Eventhough it was tiring we all had fun. These memories will live in us forever.
Jan 11
• Cooked some curry chicken
• H2 and wife went out to the mall. Both went out with the respective friends. Wife wheelchair finally ran out of battery
• My car keep on giving me error that I didn't fasten the seatbelt. So tomorrow I need to send it to get it checked.
Jan 12 (New Stuff)
• After morning classes and sending wife to work I went to the Apple store to buy a new Macbook Air M4. I am sharing this with wife since I need to use it when I am away from home and she will use it most of the time
• I got my sleep study machine and I need to hook it tonight so get my readings
• Set up the macbook and it all seems well.
• Slept early at 10pm and hooking all the sleep machine to get my readings
Jan 13
• Woke up this morning and it turns that my sleep study was a failure. One cable was loose. That means I have to do it again tonight
• Wife investment person came to the house and brought in breakfast. Woke up H1 to set up an account for her to leave and stop looking at until she was 30 or older
• Cook some pasta for the girls and ordered some food for me and wife
• Today was my best friend last day at work. She said goodbye to everyone in her firm and it is time for a new journey in life. I am so proud of her
• Finish a lot of work for wife and did manage to play some hades as well
• Slept at 10 again and hook myself again to the sleep machine
Jan 14 (Vacation)
• Woke up this morning and I pass the sleep study. Today is also the day we are going on vacation
• We started packing late and after I had a nap first. But before we headed to our hotel we went to the mall to grab some lunch and supplies
• Arrived at the hotel close to 5pm. This hotel is just 4 months old and most of the facilities are still new. There are a lot of facilities here like a pool, darts, 2 playgrounds, trampoline gym, ball pit, hammock station and obeservatory
• After that we decided to have dinner to Genting Highland resort since is at the top of the mountain. There is a link that connects the hotel to the resort but that was a mistake. It took us more than 30 minutes to get there and everyone is so tired after arriving. In the mall is was also a bit confusing. We finally found Thai food ate and then we went home by grab
• Arrive home close to 10. Took a shower and get ready to go to sleep. Tomorrow will be another day of adventure
Jan 15 (Vacation) (unmemorable)
• Did classes very quietly this morning. H2 wants to sleep infront in the living room because she doesn't want to share a bed with H1
• Around 10 we go ready to go to Genting Skyworld. It is a theme park but it is all Dreamworks based shows excluding Shrek. The shows that were displayed are Planet of the Apes, Independence Day, Epic, Robots and Ice Age.
• We went on a lot of different rides. The memorable ones were Independence day where the lift us up on the big screen and its a giant 6D immersive experince. Epic boat ride where its on rail and we drop and got wet in the end. Ice Age Thin Ice caps which was a fun ride and lastly the Planet of the Apes ride. Ride that involve moving while sitting down and prespective changing is always a fun thing to watch.
• We left the theme park around 4pm after the girls got themselves a souvenir. We ate some rice at Madam Kwan and went back to our apartment.
• Rest for a while and the girls decided to go swimmin on the heated pool. While they go swimming me and the wife played some pool and darts. We suck at both but on darts I got a bullseye twice.
• After that the girls watch a movie in my room while I slept outside.
• In other news my best friend texted me and said that she is diagnosed with Lymphoma. I googled that and it is a type of cancer. It is curable but the treatment is going to cost a lot of money. I feel very sad for her. I wish I could help her but I have done all I can for my part and the rest is up to her. I will keep her in my prayers.
Jan 16 (Vacation)
• Did classes until 8am and then wake up the family. Had breakfast with my wife on the balcony. Had some instant noodles on a cold morning hits differently
• Spend time packing but then wife remembered that she needs to finish her work so after we check out of the hotel we went down and hang out a coffee shop while she finish her work. The work took longer than expected so she finish her work at around 2pm
• The trip to Melaka was uneventful. We did had to past our house which is really funny to get there but this is the fastest way to get there anyway. Arrived at our hotel at around 530pm. The apartment was not as great as the first one we went but it was good enough. There are seperate rooms which means I can do my classes without being interrupted.
• We got outselves ready to go to a riverside cruise. We got to see most of the historical town riding the boat. H1 saw a blue bird that we all didn't see and she wanted to go again. I told her... its okay. We believe you which seems to pissed her off even more.
• After the ride we went to eat at a very nice restaurant that serve authentic Melaka peranakan food. It was dellicous. We ate stingray, egg, fried mushroom and braised lamb shank. H2 had chicken chop for herself. I had the coconut shake which really hits the spot.
• Then we went on a tour to the famous Jonker Street in the middle of town. This as H1 says has a lot of tourist traps. So we took some pictures and then we just when back to our apartment to rest for tomorrow's day
Jan 17 (Vacation)
• Today we are going to the zoo that is located an hour away from our apartment. We arrived there around 1030am.
• There were 4 shows that we saw. The first show was the elephant show. I touched an elephant and its skin is very wrinkly and hairy. The next show was the elephant swimming show. As big as elephants are. It is very suprising that they can float and swim very well. After that we went to a multi animal show where they show like 15 different animals with multiple tricks. H2 went to the stage after the show ended to take some pictures. Last show is the bird show where they show birds from different parts of the world.
• We also did went to Safari. Saw some animals like lions, tigers and cheetas. But unfortunately it was close to the afternoon and most of the animal are just chillling out under the shade. After that we went and feed the Bilutong. That animal smells so nice and they say their pee smells like popcorn. We ended the day by going to the reptile farm and saw a lot of big corcodiles.
• Had late lunch at 4pm of McDonalds at the restaurant itself and went home and everyone took a nap except me
• After the kids woke up, we played some Mahjong. We did not understand the but it took a while and it was fun.
With that is back to reality for this week. The only thing I am looking forward to is mom is coming to visit and maybe something else depending if I have some free time.
