As soon as we landed in Langkawi, we went to Telaga Harbour Front which is also known as Perdana Quay for late lunch. This place is where yachts of various sizes berth and there is a row of quayside restaurants and bistros here.
Hope to own one of these one day
Some of the restaurants along the quay
We settled for Hamachi, a Japanese restaurant.
We ordered Gyoza, chicken teriyaki, …
Grilled Ise Ebi Lobster…….simply delicious!
My favourite – Grilled Saba (Mackerel) in Teriyaki Sauce
The food was good and we will definitely return to this restaurant. We enjoy having our meals at Telaga Harbour because this place is so relaxing and breezy.

We are back from a short break at the legendary island of Langkawi. I love Langkawi and wish we could go there more often. This holiday is of course too short 
Hubs started planning for our next vacation as soon as we reached home….hehehehe. Below are some pics taken during our holiday.
Sunset at Berjaya Langkawi. Ain’t that beautiful?
We stayed in a chalet at the rainforest. The resort is huge and beautiful. We usually take the resort buggy to go back to the chalet because it is quite a distance from the lobby and the beach. I booked a Superior Chalet but they upgraded ours to Deluxe 
They are similar except that the Deluxe chalet is more spacious.
Ashley and a new found friend. She loves to build sandcastles and looking for seashells.
The monkey swinging on the bar. Just like the monkeys we see at the resort.
Ms. Grumpy who cannot wait to go to the swimming pool.
Happy in the pool
Ms. Grumpy who is also known as Ms. Parrot also has her own itinerary. She wants to go here, do this, go there, do that and etc. Pretty tiring for the parents who just want to relax by the beach Luckily I still managed to read my book and also the term life insurance write-up. More coming up on what we did or ate in Langkawi.

Mid Valley Megamall is having an A-Maze-ing Christmas this year. The center court is decorated with lots of greenery depicting a maze. I love how green the whole place looks. There are red poinsettias and Christmas hollies everywhere too. The decor is simple but beautiful.
Right in the center of the maze is Santa and he was there waiting for people to take a photo with him. We were there today and when the lil missy saw Santa, she didn’t run away or held on tightly to us like she did the previous years. Instead, she wanted to go near Santa. She read the information board near the maze and told us that we can take a photo with Santa and it cost only RM10 So, off we went eventhough the queue was rather long. The proceeds from the photography session go to Tung Shin Hospital.
Here is our family pic with Santa and Santarina. Too bad the children weren’t give the chance to tell Santa what they wish for this Christmas. Hmm…if that happens, I bet the queue would be much longer. Nevertheless, Ashley was a happy camper. I asked Ashley later why she did not tell Santa what her wish is and she said, “Mom, he’s not a real Santa“. I asked her how does she know he is not real? She said, “He is not from the North Pole and I didn’t see his sleigh“. Hehehehehe…yes, yes, this Santa drove to the mall in his car 
If you would like to take a pic with Santa, do head over to Mid Valley Megamall. Not sure if he is around on weekdays or not though

Last night was Ladies’ Night for me and a few good friends. We went out for dinner/drinks after work and Ashley was at home with her daddy. I seldom leave her behind and I always say she is like an ‘elephant glue’. I told her a few days ago that I would be going out and she would be staying at home with daddy. She said she’ll miss me … etc. Then last night when I came home, hubs told me something funny. Ashley took a photo of me from the shelf and put it on her table. She said she missed me and wanted to see me when she was eating her dinner and doing her homework….muahahahahahahahahah. This is too funny and I had a good laugh. She is such a silly girl.

This is a back dated post. A few months ago, I was invited to attend the full moon of a dear friend’s daughter. I decided to make a gift bag for the newborn’s presents.
This is the gift bag which I made using kraft paper.
I got some cute Japanese Fancy Paper from Daiso and cut out 2 elephant shapes from a template I got online.
These are cardboards which I recycled from a mooncake box. I used bits of them to create the gift tag.
Another ellie template I got online. I cut out the elephant from a piece of pink paper and also from the recycled cardboard. Glued them together to form a thick gift tag. I used a brown cardboard to form its ear.
This is the Ellie theme gift bag I made for my friend’s newborn baby girl You all know how much I adore elephants eh?

Do you know what these are?
A mallet and a cracker. Important tools for eating crabs
We had a nice crab dinner at Tak Fok Hong Kong Seafood Restaurant in Jaya One tonight. We decided to try out this restaurant after seeing their promotion – RM18 for a plate of crabs. I heard they specialize in seafood and has a branch in Aman Puri, Kepong. Anyway, these are what we had :-
Salted Egg Crabs (each dish comes with 2 crabs).
Marmite Crabs. My favourite dish. Simply crabilicious!
(Non-halal) Tong Po Pork served with rice krispies crackers. This is the first time we tried a dish that comes with rice krispies crackers. I don’t quite like this dish because the pork is full of fat. (RM18)
Besides the above, we also ordered a Cantonese Fried Noodle for Ashley. The crab dishes are really delicious and cheap, so if you would like to give them a try, head over to :-
Tak Fok Hong Kong Seafood
No. 33-G, Block J, Jaya One,
No. 72A, Jalan Universiti,
46200 Petaling Jaya.
(next to Wendy’s Restaurant).

Thank God It’s Friday already! This week is the 2nd week of the school holidays. I still haven’t done much with Ashley There are many things on my list that I would like to do this holiday like starting her on swimming lessons, doing crafts with her, taking her on a holiday, going on road trips, decorating for Xmas, etc. Blogging has been slow too. So much to do, so little done. I guess I am getting lazy and I think I am losing my mojo. I need to get everything back in gear soon! Have a nice weekend peeps!

I was going through Ashley’s books from the kindergarten last week and came across her drawing book. I think her teacher would give them a theme and they have to draw something out. When I saw this page titled “Under The Sea”, I couldn’t help laughing. The sea creatures are so funny. There is an octopus which looks like a spider. A crab that looks like Sebastian from The Little Mermaid. The seaweed looks like a picture from the organic crabgrass killer bottle The funniest of all is the grey shark. Can you spot it?
The shark’s teeth are outside its mouth! This is really hilarious. I asked her to explain her drawings to me and she made up a story about the fishes being caught by the shark’s teeth..etc…hahahahaha. One thing that is constant in all her drawings is the colour pink. At least one object in her drawing must be in PINK!
