Kuala Lumpur

we were in Kul 22-24 May

After the successful road trip to Malacca, we opted for something more adventurous and decide to fly to Kuala Lumpur. All took the graveyard 7 am flight by Jetstar, though early it may seem (kiddos woke up 5am) it was quite a breeze with the flight. Besides the fact that V didn't want to sit and be strap in, she was fussing lots and at that moment I missed breastfeeding, coz that was the only way to shut her up. But the fumes of the airplane did managed to knock her out after takeoff which was good, I was already not feeling well by that time so had to have a quick snooze.

After the flight and the god damn bloody long taxi ride, we reached Somerset apartments. Highly recommended for the price (2 nights per family was $160) and nice location too. We had to wait a long time for to check in the apartments, no fault of anyone just the system as check in was 12 /3pm. Did managed to get 1 room early and moved all the barangs in that room and adjourned out for a lunch with Ryan's family (who was there 1 day early). We had lunch at a Singaporean restaurant Wahahha Crystal Jade stylo mylo one, but as usual it didn't fail us in terms of food, service, private room and the 5 bb chairs.

Lucky for the big room, the kiddos had great fun running around while we ate.

We did the Singaporean thing and got us some drinking water and stuffs for the kids. Shopping seemed more fun with many people as the kiddos entertain themselves while we chit chats. Lucky for V she had her bestie there to entertain her.

Went back to the apartment, got ourselves the 2nd room and managed a nap for all the kiddos while we adjourned for food again. Really if you ask me what I did, I will say eat.. hardly did anything for there was 4 kids' napping time to consider and the weather didn't help much.

The next morning, fully charged we did breakfast in the service apartment and went for the coldest swim I ever had in the in house freaking cold pool. But the children enjoyed it lots, win oredi lor.

After the swim, we had to split families as the kids had different sleeping nap time. It was great fun to share apartments as we always had things to talk about and the kids had company to play. I even bought Ern a same besties outfit and we discovered that it was a must to buy the same toys for both of them as they have started to "fight" for toys. So 2 of the same kind is good...

The Ngs and Gohs went for some shopping around the hotel, had a great time sweating.. trust me it was so hot! As usual we stumble upon our favorite A & W and had to have our Root beer float, while there I saw this big billboard. It was 23 May but they were informing people of weather for 20,21,22 may... only in Malaysia! wakakkak

After some miserable shopping and root beer, we went back to the apartment, really not sure of what to do. Brayden came up for some fun while Ern and Matt had her nap. They like to play catching with each other.

Think we spend the day in the apartment and decided to do a makan session. Like in Kl have to eat KL foods right? But cannot go out right? coz hawker don't have 5 bb chairs and we were totally not keen on dealing with cranky kiddos in dirty environment. So ......

our feast for the night!!!!!!!!! The guys went out to buy and Ryan's parents (the locals) drove around and got for us all great food!!! Honest great food! best thing I remembered about the trip.

Then after many rounds of food, like all took turns doing musical chairs at the dining table, were totally stuffed by the end of the night. Some of us sat down to watch Ip man 1 and 2 (freaking awesome show I tell u! and it has been a while that I watched a cantonese movie or even chinese shows) some left for foot massage, and the others left to put the kiddos to sleep. Overall a stuffed and lazy night... The activeness of the kiddos were killing us all and it wasn't as simple as the Malacca trip. Maybe the weather too got us all lethargic and the thought shopping in the weather didn't entice us at all. Or maybe the apartment was too inviting to chill at home...

So the last day, we all had breakfast did some nonsensical shopping again and all except us left for Singapore. DD T had to work and Grandpa John flew in too.. So we had lunch with the customer and went to the office while V busied herself there and me chatting with the mrs. DD T had to do training while we waited to go airport in the evening. So can u imagine how shagged I was by the time I reached Singapore at 11 pm. Didn't help that V didn't sleep on the flight bac and was making so much noise on a very quiet aircraft. She keep shouting "TADA" I think at least 20-30 times, She had laughter and giggles for the 1st 5 then I think it became irritating. So much for flying....

Overall the trip was great due to great company but I was down with the cold (I lied in bed for 5 days after the trip) Think was my popping of Panadol Extra to keep me sane and V was going through her phase that made me have memory loss at selected points of the trips. But it may be awhile before I return to Kl, hopefully I can see more of it the next round.
