Us at the airport before jetting off to KL. I don’t enjoy this part because I dislike aeroplanes so much, but I can’t deny the anticipation and excitement in the air is exhilarating.

Our family of Miffy keychains. I think this trip was especially relaxing because it was really just us.

The red eye flight was terrible and we didn’t sleep a wink. By the time we reached the hotel it was already 5am. But we were too excited to go to sleep so went out kopitiam hunting instead.

First kopi with chee cheong fun for breakfast. We were actually too tired to enjoy the food, but I remember enjoying the coffee. Nothing beats Yakun kopi for me, but I would still take a Malaysian kopi over Australian flat whites any day.

The first few days were lots of window shopping, photo taking and just hanging out together.

The girls discovered the joy of getting their hair washed and cut. They liked it so much we let them get a hair wash again the next day.

We spent many many hours in the swimming pool. I think we only skipped a couple of days the whole time we were there, and that was because it was either raining or we went to the water park.

We’ve all decided that Sunway Lagoon was the highlight of our trip. The zero queues meant we went on our favourite rides again and again. Being all water babies, there was something glorious about walking around completely wet being splashed constantly.

I think the girls enjoyed being with their cousin and yee yee a lot.

They were the three musketeers this trip. All have grown up so much that they don’t need much supervision.

Our love with Mixue from the Shanghai trip continues.

I feel like I have many many photos of them with a Mixue icecream in hand.

Our love for Luckin coffee also continues! I love Luckin.

Hahaha the two of them were happy to have each other’s company.

Saitaomei has a bizarre love for Labubu and we ended up lining up at Pop Mart to get her one. It was fascinating to see Labubu fanatics up close and their obsession.

We visited so many shopping centres.

Diwali decorations were up and ready for the upcoming festival.

We also enjoyed the Mid autumn festival decorations.

Mamak food was drinks was a highlight of the trip.

This was honestly so delicious especially wash down with a rich and sweet Teh Tarik. Heaven.

We had many delicious mamak takeaways which we had in the comfort of our hotel room. This was the favourite part of the day for me, when we’re all clean and settled after a full day, eating, snacking, watching tvb dramas and Chinese movies on our blurry tv.

Local guava was lovely.

A different kind of mooncake gifted by my BIL’s sister.

There was lots of indoor playground time.

R found his kopitiam, one of our better meals in KL.

He was wowed by his chendol.

We also had lots of fast food like A &W because of my angmok chiak Saitaoha.

I liked it that we experienced public transport a lot. We also used Grab a few times and for some reason we had some disabled drivers for a few trips. I am glad that Grab has provided job opportunities for people with disabilities that would otherwise struggle to make ends meet.

We did visit some tourist spots but not many.

They enjoyed their art activity and I hope to frame up their artwork in our new house some day.

It was a wonderful holiday, one of my most relaxing holidays to date. I think it is because we catered for no one except our own family, we ate when we wanted to, we didn’t even we were full, we stayed at home for dinner if we didn’t feel like going out, we swam everyday without thinking of having to visit tourist attractions. It was really quality time spent with my family and also my sister’s family. Lovely lovely mid autumn holiday.
