Cameron Highland





During our long stay in Malaysia, we went to Cameron Highland with my two sisters. There are five women and five kidos. This idea of going Cameron Highland for three days and two nights came from both my sisters. Elder sister wanted to bring two kids to explore the nature of Malaysia during the school holidays. Second Sister had been there before as her husband's mcompany has a bungalow over there as one of the staff benefits.

The weather is relatively dry and cooling. As soon as the kids arrived at the Mount Vernon Bungalow, they can wait to blow the bubbles that we brought from home. It is dry patches all over Meredith's body due to the dryness of the air. I am not sure how she is going to cope once she returns back to US.


We went to self pick strawberries, Rose Garden and Boh Tea Plantation.






Come visit Malaysia.

Isaac's 1st Birthday









Isaac is a leap day baby, so he doesn't have a birthday this year. Since we are back in Malaysia and staying with my family, I decided to hold a birthday party for him, and letting Meredith and other cousins to have some fun. Johor Bahru is not a very kid friendly town and it was a tough job to look for a perfect place where both kids and adults can enjoy themselves. At first, I was planning to hold the party at the McDonald so that the kids can enjoy the nuggets and play in the indoor playground on the same time. Of course, the price of holding a party at McD is very affortable. However, I was a litle disappointed with the facilities at the McDonald. The playground is relatively small and very disorganized.
I found a horse riding school on my way driving Meredith back from school. My sister and I brought Meredith and her Xiao Biao Ge to the riding school during that evening, they were brave enough to ride on the pony, and they seemed enjoy and asked us to bring them here more often. So, We ended up celebrating Isaac's birthday there.

Meredith and her Xiao Biao Ge seemed to be the only two kids who enjoy riding the pony. Isaac fall to sleep during the cake cutting minutes. Meredith represented her baby brother blew the candles the third time this year.


Conversation between my older sister and Meredith:


Meredith: I want my mama to ride this horse.
Sister: It is a pony, your mother cannot ride on it.
Sister: You are the one that your mother can ride on it.
Meredith: I am a human, not a horse.

Sister: you must be the bad girl because you love crying.
Meredith: I am a good girl, not the bad one.
