Here at Last

Yes, we are finally here in Johor Bahru, Malaysia. Getting use to the hot and humid weather again but this time I find the weather is tolerable. My girls are doing good as well, at least they didn't complain they are hot. Going to Singapore this weekend, at least my girls will have some fun visiting Sentosa Island and Vivo City and their relatives. Here in J.B. is pretty boring, nothing much to do and nothing special to eat. Thus far, my hubby got his new passport done. It was done in few hours, surprisingly fast, went there in the morning and collected the passport in the afternoon and I waited 3 months to get my passport from U.S. Will update more after the trip to Singapore.

  10. Ching, one more place nice and cheap "Anna's kitchen" behind Hyatt Hotel/condo. Will be able to spot this place near Sedap Corner.

    "Taat House" Penang food it's a bungalow conveted to a Restorant at Jln Tun Abdul Razak. Behind InterPacific Securities ( Stock & Share Company )

    " Tua Tau" coffee shop opposite the Bomba old shop house. Next to it is petrol station then court mamoth. Use the inner road, food is good and cheap but very crowed.

    hope you enjoy your maknamania. Have a nice day. Amelia

  12. I really enjoyed Vivocity when I went back to Singapore. The roof top terrace/garden/wading pool is a hit with kids and families (especially when it's so hot). Bring towels and slippers for your kids if they go wading in the paddling pool!

  13. Thanks Amelia. Will have to copy it down and ask my sister in-law since we don't know our way around here.

    Thanks Nilmandra,
    Will certainly prepare towels for my kids since my girls love paddling pool.
