When the Husband's family wanted to do a family trip, we ended up deciding on Colmar Tropicale, Bukit Tinggi as it was really close by so travel wouldn't be an issue, and my SIL, Nina and I had our Thermomix, so food wouldn't be an issue either. The awesome thing about the resort is that they had different types of rooms so we were able to accommodate everyone's preferences.

The Husband and I took AL that Friday and decided to leave in the morning so we could go to Genting or anywhere with his parents. We stopped by Genting Sempah for lunch where I had ikan patin gulai tempoyak which I absolutely love! Then, we headed up to Genting Highlands Premium Outlet where I looked for shoes (but failed). Personally, I find it super difficult to find the perfect pair of shoes. 

We realized that the cloud was getting dark and that it would start to rain anytime soon, so we decided to head to our final destination earlier than planned. 

When Nina arrived, I was so happy because with her there, I knew that dinner would be served soon. 

Honestly, we didn't do much up in Bukit Tinggi but we did play a lot of games like charades and song association. Such fun! Hope to have more trips now that borders are open!

Dear readers,

I know I update the blog so randomly like what is wrong with me? Actually, I wish I'm more consistent because there's so much to tell. But, you know, I'm a corporate PR person so writing is like part of my everyday and sometimes it's just tiring. 

Last year, birthdays got a bit more serious with Jasyu & Mai as we tried to outdo each other in the surprise department. I think the pandemic and being cooped up in our respective houses for so long contributed to this. You know how we are; always looking for adventures.

For Mai's birthday, we took her on a trip to a magical sand bank. You can read all about it here.

However, for Jasyu's birthday, it was FMCO phase I don't know just that we couldn't even travel inter-district. So we thought to ourselves, what can we do?

First, we surprised Jasyu the night before her birthday. This was really funny and awesome. We had the cake, dinner and balloons all delivered and surprised Jasyu as she was ready to go to bed. 

Then, I planned a go-kart session with Nadhil, Najwan and Megat. I invited a bunch of others too, but they weren't fully vaccinated yet. Why so late la you guys? I completed mine way back in July.

Jasyu loves driving too fast too furious and Najwan knew the perfect place for a go-kart session. I can honestly tell you, I had so much fun but they beat me by like 3 laps! Hahahaha. It was such a fun session and an awesome surprise as Jasyu had no idea of who was going to be there and what we were going to do. I'm so glad she I knew her well enough to know what she'd enjoy.

Afterwards, Jasyu and I went back to Mai's place to freshen up and we headed to the final (not so) surprise of the day: Afternoon Tea at The Majestic Kuala Lumpur. She had never gone but I know she's always wanted to. So ta-da!

I know we didn't do anything crazy, but what's important is that we have each other's backs and time. I don't know where I would be without these girls. That's why I go all out for them whenever I can.

Love,
Sya
