Amber's Shopping Mischief - Part II

Last Sunday, we checked out the new AEON store at Ampang Utara. It's really huge but there isn't many attraction except for the food outlets. There's a big Jusco store but retail outlets were quite limited.

Here's Amber with the clown. She's ever so excited to see clown blowing balloons and tying them up to be dogs, flower, etc (I don't know what you call this art). Amber would always ask for a red flower and so a red flower was what she got !

Amber, the model !

Amber's monkeying around again. This time, Li , my niece wanted to get a blouse for her friend and asked me to 'model' it, her friend is slightly bigger built than me. When Amber saw, she wanted ot do the same and try on the blouse. Here's a picture of her 'modelling' the blouse.

Oh ! My hair !

When we got home, I gave her a trim. Her hair is too long and poking her eyes. See how tired she was from kai-kai all daylong. She does not like long hair and request to have her hair cut short many many times. Lazy me has been procrastinating the trip to the hairdresser till I cannot stand her long fringe anymore, I gave her a quick trim on the fringe

Amber and a Big Apple donut

The next day, it was kai kai time again. We had dinner with my in laws at Mid Valley. I asked hubs to try out the Big Apple donut + coffee. It's a real bargain at RM4.50 for an Americano and a glazed donut. You cannot get a deal close to that at any other coffee chains. No wonder Starbucks is downsizing. In current economic conditions, everyone's holding tight to their cash and not splurging.

Amber rarely pose for photos. Here's one of the rare ones.

Christmas is just round the corner. Merry Christmas & Happy New Year !

Amber's Shopping Mischief

Amber in the evening, knackered out from whole day of shopping !!

When Ah Poh Yee Yee came to visit, Amber had a whale of time going shopping and here's some photos of her, taken over the weekend of fun filled shopping , shopping and more shopping. Never had I covered 2 major shopping malls in a day . We headed to Mid Valley early in the morning after a heavy breakfast of roti canai and teh tarik (what an excellent start to the day)

Mama ! These shades are groovy ! Can I have it ?

Tilting her head up to hold the shades on her nosebridge !

Another beautiful Christmas tree

Fascination with the Fish Spa.

Amber loves fishes and she'll always request to stop at the Fish Spa to see so many small fishes nibbling and biting the patron's legs. I personally do not find it very hygiene, the water tank has been soaking god-knows-how-many legs throughout the day !

We had a jolly good time with Poh Yee Yee, Xiu & Li and wish they'd visit more frequent. Family moments are very precious to me and I always look forward to Poh's visit and dread it when she leaves.

Ant Killers

Our new house was/has swarmed by ants (the big black and the tiny red variety) ever since we moved in. They have been hiding in the wooden skirtings and underneath tiles. The moment they smell something fishy, they'll make a killer for it and sometimes it's unsightly to have hundreds of ants running around.


The ants moving towards Once For All

Once For All .... my saviour when it comes to ants

Couple of years ago, my sis recommended me this 'ant killer' -more-effective-than-others- ant powder. It's only available in Singapore. It comes in a pellet form and all you need to do is cut a small hole in the pellet, let the ants 'smell' and 'savour' the ant food. They will bring it back to their nest to be enjoyed and shared by the rest and the powder will kill the colony (supposedly lah). Unlike the pesticide spray which keeps the ants away, this pellet is very appetizing to the ants. I have been waiting eagerly for my sis to visit me with the ant powder pellets.

Sister and hubs watching the ants enjoying their 'food'

Here is hubs and sis watching the ants. True enough , the next morning, the ants lingering around the kitchen floor skirting disappeared, with a little bit of food from the pellets missing. I hope it's a Once and For All solution for me to get rid of the ants. I don't want them all over the kitchen and utensils.

Mamma Mia ! Here I Go Again !!

The cast delivering an unbelievable live performance

We have watched the movie twice in the cinema, numerous times in video and finally we could not resist the musical. Mamma Mia ! Here I Go Again ! My My ! How Can I Resist You ?

Mamma Mia the musical is the first musical I've watched in Malaysia and I have to say it's truly amazing. The non-stop music, energetic dancing and superb performance from the cast leaves you wondering if the music and singing is pre-recorded but no, it wasn't. The audience had sang and dance along with the music towards the end of the show.

We truly enjoyed the show and when we reached home, we had another round of Mamma Mia the movie with my sis, nieces and my maid.

Everytime when we say or sing Mamma Mia, Amber follow the tune with "" Here I Go Again".. lol

Amber loves Christmas !

Mama, look at this big big bauble. Can I bring it home ?

A mini Christmas tree

Amber loves Christmas and we make it a point to take her around all shopping centers to show her the decorations, Christmas trees, carollings etc. She never fails to point out a Christmas tree when she sees one, be it big or small, near or far.. She'll go ..: Look Mama ! Kwissmass tree . Kwissmass tree.....

THREESOME CHRISTMAS DINNER

At Renaissance Hotel lobby

We had to use up the Renaissance voucher before they expired. Hubs has been a member since the day I met him and year after year, we always had to wait till the last minute to use up the dinner/hi tea vouchers. So, this year, we had dinner at the Temptations Cafe. Food was just ordinary, unlike Vogue Cafe (the other hotel wing at Renaissance Hotel). However, the hotel was nicely decorated up with Christmas trees and Amber loves Christmas trees !

Having more fun ....

Renaissance Hotel holds a special place in our heart. We spent our first New Year countdown together during our dating days there and our wedding reception was held there 7 years ago.

Amber had most fun (as usual), monkeying around with the food more than eating it. Well, as long as she's happy and mama and papa can enjoy the delicious and widespread food, everyone's happy !

Christmas is coming

Amber loves Christmas. She just loves it. If she can grab a towel or bag, she'll pull it over her shoulders and pretends to be Santa Claus bringing a bag of goodies. "Mama, you see ... Santa Claus!!"

We went to Pavilion to check out the Christmas decorations. It was really nice to hear Christmas songs and everybody in the festive and cheery mood. This year, they placed a big white Christmas tree with gold baubles at the main entrance, across from Bintang Walk. I realised it was the same Singing Christmas Tree last year. Nevertheless, it was awesome and

Amber was delighted and she even obliged for a few photo pose.

We remembered Christmas at Pavilion last year, it was beautiful, they had the singing Christmas tree, Santa Claus and the shopping complex was still sparkling new (parking was also cheaper then).

We had our dinner at the Food Republic, our favourite hangout and Amber was having lots fun playing with the black bubble tea bulbs.
