Blog Makeover

As I try to revive my blog, I think that a makeover is also in order.

Genting Highlands

When my sister and nephew visited me a few months back, we went on a road trip to Genting Highlands!

Genting Highlands is located within an hour’s drive from Kuala Lumpur. It is on the peak of Gunung Ulu Kali within the Titiwangsa Mountains by the border of Pahang and Selangor.

Genting Skyway

From Pudu Sentral station, we alighted from the bus at the impressive Genting Skyway Station at Gohtong Jaya. It is an exhilarating way to go up the hill while watching the scenic views and lush greenery. For people scared of heights it is not at all relaxing. But the sight really makes you forget about the ride. At the top of the hill, the weather’s cool, which is so in contrast to the weather in KL.

Legoland Malaysia

For Kuya’s 8th birthday, we went to Legoland! It’s my promise to Kuya so he’d be excited about Malaysia. 

Singapore Adventure

It’s been months since the hubby and I went to Singapore but only had time to write about it today. 

This Singapore trip is for our wedding anniversary and we had a chance to travel with just the two of us. Like a second honeymoon of sorts. 

It’s a DIY adventure trip as usual and I only researched and asked around to plan it. As we are spendthrifts, the plan is to enjoy without so much costs. 

Thoughts on Leadership

Leadership is definitely a big word that’s difficult to live up with. I’ve worked with and met different leaders with different styles. Nothing is ever the same and there’s no cookie cutter type of leadership. Honestly, I also don’t know if I’m a good one but anyhow I have gotten good feedback *wink*.

Melaka. Malacca. Malaysia Truly Asia.

Our first out-of-town trip in Malaysia as a family was in Melaka. It is a historical site near KL that deserves to be given attention. It shows a different aspect of Malaysia, its Portuguese influence, which shows Malaysia’s rich culture and history.

Our day trip was full pack with the historical sites Melaka has to offer. Here’s just a few of the places we went to:

Christ Church and Dutch Square Malacca

Located near Malacca’s Chinatown centre, it is one of the most popular sites in the area. It was swarming with tourists and locals alike. Right outside the church are colourful trishaws that you can pay to take you around the city.

My Perfectly Imperfect Life

Working abroad gave the family a sense of independence that I did not realise we’re not used to. I came from a family where my mother was the only one who kept the house and took care of all 5 of us. My husband also grew up with his grandma who raised him without a nanny. Now that we have our own family, since both of us have our own careers, we’ve always had house help. 

When the family moved here in KL, we were forced to be on our own. We can’t afford to hire a helper whose based here while our nanny does not have papers so we can’t bring her here as soon as we'd hope. This is our biggest problem right now.
