Here we are eagerly awaiting the release of the last and latest Harry Potter book, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows. I’m thinking long lines, camping overnight, weather notwithstanding.
What if I told you there’s a way to avoid the lines and help the less fortunate children at the same time? Would you do it? Sure you would.
You’d [...]
It’s no secret that all mothers and daughters have secrets, and we’re no different. My daughters and I sneak off on our girls’ day out (hence, the name of this blog) every chance we get.
Without the two guys (Hubz and son) tagging along behind us going “are you guys done yet?” every two minutes, we’re free [...]
The girls have been talking about their friends going to camps and having a really good time there. Most of these are religious camps and I’m not really keen on them.
But then again, there’s no denying Summer Camps would be great for the girls to get out, pick up some learning and social skills, and [...]
GSC 1 Utama is celebrating its second anniversary, and they’re giving away freebies with ticket purchases.
There’s also a coupla contests with The Transformers where you could win Transformer merchandise. Those of you with younger kids might be under pressure to go watch this quick . I know how it is.
Well, we’re not too excited about things [...]
It’s summer all year here, so backyard barbecues are an all-year affair. So great Garden Lighting is a must.
I’ve noticed that Japanese lanterns are really popular these days. I love the idea that it’s not fixed lighting and it doesn’t run on electricity.
Candles are so romantic. The dancing light lends an air of mystic and [...]
On a whim, we decided to take the kids to Kek Lok Si temple when we were in Penang. They’d never been there.
On our last trip, they were quite a bit younger and we didn’t quite relish the two of us having to half-carry three kids up those steps to the top.
But this time, we felt much [...]
It’s a good thing we’re back here. A freak storm hit Penang yesterday bringing on huge waves, whipping rains and destruction to property. Good thing no one was hurt. Gosh, to think we stayed at a beachfront hotel too where we could literally reach out and touch the sea!
After the tsunami of 2004, it’s hard to [...]
The kids and I were at a carnival. I’m usually not a big fan of carnivals because I hate the sun. But this one was in a shaded area and I was pleasantly surprised. Lots of fun fair-like games to try and win some prizes.
Have you tried the one where you try to loop a metallic rod [...]
We got into Penang at around noontime. Our first sight of the sea and we were going ga-ga as we drove across the bridge. Penang is bustling as usual even on a Sunday afternoon. Lots of people about, even more traffic.
We headed straight for The Gurney. The kids couldn’t wait to check out our hotel suite. They’d been [...]
