Yesterday, I had the most fun I've had in weeks. I surprised Khai with a mini version of the Amazing Race and included a bunch of my good friends- Nura, Dinah, Sulastri and Andrea. It took him less than an hour to find me and by the time he did, he was drenched in sweat! A few snapshots later, it was time I parted ways with the girls :( Since we were in a tight time crunch, Khai and I didn't manage to take the Venetian style sampan ride and cabbed down to town from MBS. His first surprise: The Lucky One @ Lido. Typical love story that I'd rate 3/5 stars for. We then tamed our growling stomachs and released the inner glutton in us at Hyatt's Straits Kitchen. After our 2nd round or so, Khai's second surprise: A '52 reasons why i love you' book he made himself! Cabbed down to MBS again to catch his third surprise: The Light and Water Show but we missed it by a minute!!!! :( Didn't want to wait for the next show cos it was already getting pretty late.. Which brought him to his fourth surprise: A photo album of what we've shared the past year <3

Complimentary cake from the good people @ Hyatt

Super ginormous Iced Tea!!

1st round!

2nd round

The laksa was too creamy for my liking

3rd. Really enjoyed the rojak! Consists of you tiao (too crunchy), guava, toufu, apples and turnip

His 2nd plate of satay

4th. Plain naan and prata served with butter chicken and i-forgot-what-the-other-ones-called

While he relished in some goody indian food, i moved on to dessert! From left: Pandan cake, poppers otherwise known as ondeh-ondeh, corn nagasari and red bean pancake. Soooo delish!

The last thing we had- ice jelly!

Till then readers :) Happy Sunday!

It's in our nature how we tend to take things for granted. Just take this as an example - We come across news on social media about children and how some of them have their lives hanging by a thread. We spare a few minutes reading about it and then a minute later, we casually dismiss it altogether. It was never a thought formed (at least not fully) that it might just happen to our loved ones. But it did.

My cousin Emma was diagnosed with acute lymphoblastic leukemia a few days ago but sadly this isn't her first time battling cancer. Plus she's barely even 5 years old. Which, to me is a lot to take in and tough to digest. I'd kill to be with her but that'll take a ton of money and maybe a few weeks off school since she's far across the border.

Still, my prayers are with you. Love you Emma.

Each night, Daddy would read :

Grandma sent the hammock,
The good Lord sent the breeze.
I’m here to do the swinging—
Now, who’s gonna move the trees?
