United Buddy Bears at Pavillion

We went to Pavillion again a couple of days after this.

A must do for the kids here in Pavillion, the Carousel ride.

After lunch and a quick shopping, we left Pavillion. I drove out from the car park and something caught the kids' attention outside Pavillion. A lot united buddy bears. Many people are busy taking pictures with the bears and we also tried to take some pictures inside the car. 

On Christmas eve, we went to Pavillion again.  We did last minute shopping and Christmas presents. The mall is full with shoppers. I have never see Pavillion so packed before.

The Christmas tree is lit up.

We were lucky to catch Santa again.

Yan Yan has got a lollipop from Santa

This round we were able to go out from the mall and see the United Buddy Bears.

Christmas Gift Bag

I made something today. It is a Christmas gift bag with a cute greeting card. To support green so I use recycle material. I didn't aware Mid Valley has come out with this Christmas publication until Judy    told me about it.

Very the Christmas feel gift bag, do you like it?

I got this Christmas newsletter at Mid Valley Megamall. The newsletter not only stuffed with all the events regarding the Christmas festival but they have some cute stickers too. There is some pictures missed out in the publication. My kids have fun put the stickers back to it. 

I use some stickers to turn into a greeting card

Get this newsletter if you happen to go Mid Valley Megamall. They are FREE!

They have an Amazing Christmas this year. There is a maze around the topiary garden in the Centre Court.

It is my second visit to Mid Valley this week. We will be going back to Mid Valley again for a Christmas workshop.

Courtyard @ Hereen, Malacca

We badly needed a short break, not only me but also the kids. So we packed and went to Malacca for a 2 days one night trip. We stayed in a boutique hotel called Courtyard @ Hereen. 

It is situated in the heart of Malacca and a stone's throw away from Jonker Street. We also walked to some places of interest from this boutique hotel. The location of the hotel is superb!

I just love this Straits Chinese Inspired hotel. They have a total of 14 rooms and suites. There is an album in the lobby that contains  pictures of all the 14 rooms. All the rooms are unique and blending old with modern design.

Some of the pictures to share in this post.

Situated along Heeren Street also known as Jalan Tun Tan Cheng Lock, wealthy Peranakan and Chinese merchants used to live in this street.

We requested to feed the fish :)

The hungry fish :)

The courtyard, nothing to shout about, it is rather small.

A room is just next to the courtyard

The exterior design of a room

Our room is on the first floor.

Nicely made beds. It is a deluxe family room with one queen bed and one super single bed. The room is very clean and new that we could put our shoes aside. I like the wooden floor instead of a carpet room.

This divider with a sliding door to separate the room and the bathroom

The bathroom is big

Ving Heng : Let me try try the bed ...

We checked in during off peak season. We paid RM300 for the one night stay. Breakfast is included.

The hotel gave us this upon check in. A list of popular food in Malacca.

Some places of interest very near the hotel, so there is no need to drive around. This is important as the Malacca town is busy with its traffic and parking isn't easy.

Will blog about what we did in Malacca........

We Met Santa in Sunway Pyramid

We went to Sunway Pyramid last Sunday. After watched the movie Puss in Boots, we went to have our lunch at Sakae Sushi.

 While eating we saw Santa Claus passing by. Santa gave the kids some candies and asked us to go for the meet and greet session at the Pyramid concourse. Later a few dancers in beautiful costume also passed by and one of them gave the kids big lollipop one each.

They were supper happy.

Heng Heng and the dance show performer. 

 Without delay, we went to the Pyramid concourse after finished our lunch. I like the beautiful 'Joyful Christmas' in Sunway Pyramid . You can take a lot of pictures with reindeers, Christmas trees, sleigh, wishing well and snowman.

It is a white Christmas. 

The beautiful 'Joyful Christmas' story at the Pyramid Concourse

The wishing well. Yan Yan asked me why there is no water in the well.

The snowman

We were just lucky to bump into Santa. It was Meet and Greet session so the kids got the chance to take photo with Santa Claus.

Christmas is almost here. Come and have a Joyful Christmas at Sunway Pyramid.

Jake & The Never Land Pirates Party

We attended Disney Junior's Jack & The Never Land Pirates Party last week.This cozy event was held at Marmalade Cafe located in Publika Shopping Mall, Solaris Dutamas.

Disney Junior's goodie bags

Right after the blogger registration the kids were geared up to post for the camera. It was a pirate themed party so the crews were looking for the best pirate poser :)

Yan Yan was a little shy to pose.

Heng Heng is so pandai ( playful actually ) . He was intrigued by the pirates goods that displayed at the side table and kept playing until his turn to take picture. There the photographer got this nice shot for Heng Heng. Heng Heng won second prize for the pirate pose photo contest.

The prize.

Next up was treasure hunt ! All the clues are given and nicely printed.

The clues card

Ving Yan and mummy have completed the treasure hunt and came back with 5 gold coins :)

Ving Heng didn't take part in the treasure hunt but he with the toys provided

After that the children watched a new episode of the Jack and His Never Land Pirates.

Brunch was nicely presented.  Beautiful pirate themed food were assembled such, ship hotdogs, Never Land palm tree sandwiches, Captain Hook chocolate cake just to name a few.

The food

Let's take a close up look at the food. I was trying my best to zoom at the food to get the best shots with my Panasonic Lumix LX5, the semi pro DLSR while most other bloggers use their DSLR. Okay, the pictures of mine also not bad lah :)

Lastly we have a group photo of the 15 bloggers and their family. ( Thanks to Sophia for forward this group photo to me)

This was all about the great party we had attended! It is certainly gives me an idea how to make a special themed party for the kids. You can get more inspiration from Disney Junior website. You can print Jack and The Never Land Pirates print-and-fold treasure chests and gold doubloons ,  invitation cards, coloring pages and many more stuff from its website. They even give you the idea on what food to serve and its recipe.

I think Yan Yan would like to have a Minie and Mickey birthday party.
