This blog has been really quiet for a while huh?! My life has been so busy this last few months, revolving around the children and an increasing workload. Whilst an increasing workload means I'm earning more, it also means that I'm spending a lot less time with the children. As a result of this, I'm starting to see some changes in behavioural patterns in the girls, especially K1. It's a real struggle now. I'm pretty sure it's because I'm spending less time at home with her. I still make it a point to send, and pick her up from school, however, after I drop her home, I have to zip off to work, and often do not return home till 6-7pm about 2-3 days a week. K2 on the other hand go to school 3 days a week, and only for 3 hours each time. So I have more time one-on-one with her. K1 had been acting up, especially at meal times, being more difficult, and not wanting to play her role of the eldest sister anymore... sometimes even commenting,"how come I don't get to spend time with you." It breaks my heart, and makes my wonder if earning that bit more money is really worth it.
I'm so glad that we've been able to have a family holiday. the first one this year. A driving trip up to KL, and Fraser's, then back to Melaka for 1 night. It was a trip which exceeded our expectations. Firstly, the 2 hotels we stayed in KL and Melaka were both excellent ones, with a fantastic room and pool, in great locations in each city. The KL stay was great for the food, shopping and walks in places we had never discovered before. Melaka was rediscovered as a great holiday destination now with the new hotel which is not too expensive, walking distance to the malls and eating places. The new mega mall was HUGE! We only managed to shop in 2 shops spending way too much money, and they were both FOS shops! We didn't even have time to go to the other mall across the road... oh well... saved some money there...:) Fraser's was as usual the best place for family time bonding with my parents, brother and sis-in-law, godpa and aunt, as well as for the cousins! All this made even better by the delicious food served out at each meal... The kids were so happy just to be on holiday... it's the simple pleasures...
So... this post has been sitting as a draft for about 3 months now... waiting to get posted... here, I have completed it... now for the photos!
