Is the time of the year again where family and friends can gather around... Meeting in person instead of looking at pictures from 'Facebook' or 'Instagram'... Besides that the best part of 'CNY' is still the holiday where we can forget about work and relax and slow down our pace for a while...

Every year without fail we will have our reunion lunch on the eve of CNY... No exception for this year as well...

That's all for now... Just a short post on the first day of CNY... Hope you guys enjoy your holiday and 'Gong Xi Fatt Chai'!!!

Recently got myself a new scooter... This time round the scooter is not from 'Micro' as the price for a 'Micro' scooter is really exorbitant (but to be fair they are really well made)!!! So I did what I do best which is surfing the web and look for alternative...

Before this I have never heard of this brand 'Oxelo' and it seems like they made really nice scooter as well... You can get the scooter from 'Decathlon' and I believe 'Oxelo' is one of their own house brand for scooter... 

Anyway long story short, I went to 'Decathlon' and test out the scooter... I like this particular models that came with dual suspension and a huge 200mm wheels... My 'Micro Speed +' scooter only came with a 145mm wheels... Bigger wheels means faster and less effort to make it go faster... Besides that, the scooter also came with a hand operator brake much like those you find on a bicycle... Much easier braking compare to leg operated one for sure... The price for this 'Oxelo town 7 XL' scooter is actually cheaper than the 'Micro Speed +' and I'm thinking to myself... With 2 huge wheels and dual suspension this looks like an absolute bargain... So I happily bought it!!!

Looks pretty... I really like the way it looks... 

Front suspension... Frankly speaking I can't really feel the suspension when I tried it out... Not sure whether is this some kind of gimmick or marketing stunt... 

The rear suspension... Same like the front, I can't feel it... The ride is pretty harsh if you ask me... the 'Micro' definitely ride much quieter and smoother for sure... This is something that I did not expect to be honest... 

The hand operated brake which makes braking a bliss!!!

I had the scooter for around 2 weeks and I returned it back to 'Decathlon'... The one good thing about 'Decathlon' is their 90 days exchange or refund policy which makes buying things from them a really no-brainer!!! 

So why do I returned it when I love it so much... I can accept the flaw that the dual suspension have which is not soaking up any bumps and feels almost like riding rigid!!! The one thing that I cannot accept is the sound the scooter is making... A lot of creaking noise coming out from the joint... I tried tightening the quick release to the point that I believe I might break the whole thing and loosening it up to the point where the quick release is not clamping on it properly... I tried everything but to no avail... Reluctantly I took it back to them and wanted to ask for a refund and thinking of getting a 'Micro' just to be on the save side... Instead of getting a refund, I got myself another 'Oxelo' scooter and this is a story for another time... And before I end my blog post I really like to give 'Decathlon' a BIG thumbs up!!! Please go to 'Decathlon' retail outlets to experience it yourself... They have a lot of demo units around for consumers to try out before deciding whether to purchase or not... Currently they have 2 outlets, one in 'Sri Damansara' and another one is at 'USJ 1'... Mind you this is not a sponsored post... Just speaking from my own experience... 

My lil 'princess' turned 3 two days ago... In a blink of an eye she's no longer the baby that I used to carry when she cried... She's all grown up!!! But in my eyes she's still the baby girl and forever will be... 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU PRINCESS!!!

Other than that, my 'princess' is going to be a BIG sister!!! Finally she will have someone to play with... Another 'princess' joining us soon and I'm really ecstatic... Can't wait for her to come out and greet the world!!!

Every year without fail I will pay 'Pavillion' a visit during 'Christmas' season as I find they have the best decoration among all the malls in 'Klang Valley'... So is definitely worth paying them a visit... And this year there is no exception and we were not disappointed!!! It was super duper crowded with loads of people taking pictures and this is also the very same reason that we went there... Taking pictures!!! So hope you enjoy all the pictures below...

MERRY CHRISTMAS

 AND A VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR 

TO ALL MY READERS OUT THERE!!!

'Gong Xi Fatt Chai'!!! As today is the 7th day of 'Chinese New Year', which is also everybody birthday, I'm here wishing all my readers and everyone out there a very 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY'!!!

As you can see from the pics above, my princess is super excited about 'Chinese New Year'!!! This is her second year celebrating 'Chinese New Year'... The first year she was only a few months old so she don't really know anything... But this year is different as she knows how to 'GONG XI, GONG XI'!!! Time really flies!!!

_________________________________________________________________________

Some pics of our reunion lunch... Almost the same as last year... The only different is now I'm photographing using my 'iPhone' instead of my 'DSLR'!!! With the arrival of my princess, my 'DSLR' is spending most of its time in the drybox!!! Anyway this will not stop me from stopping photography!!! Enjoy the pics...

My precious princess started calling me daddy a few days ago... Surprisingly, she starts calling mummy as well!!! Previously, she called papa and a few months later then only she starts calling mama... Both of us are ecstatic!!!

At first, we were thinking of settling down with papa and mama as the way she says it just melt our hearts!!! But when she starts saying daddy and mummy, we were thinking twice whether to settle down with papa/mama or daddy/mummy... Hmmmm... 

Time really flies... In a blink of an eye, my princess turns one and we decided to organize a small gathering celebrating her birthday last weekend... Just a small party where only relatives are invited... The party was being held at 'Marmalade, Publika'... Frankly speaking this was not the first venue as at first we decided to organize it at 'Jkids (children playground where we can source for our own food provider), Paradigm Mall'... We even paid deposit for it and we are dead serious that this will be the venue... But after giving some deep thoughts, we decided to abandon the plan as there are only a number of kids around... 

So a quick search around 'Google' and it seems that a lot of people like to organize kids birthday party at 'Marmalade'... Went to the restaurant for a quick look around and I'm liking it already... The decoration is kind of cozy and it serves our theme really well... Ohh is a 'Hello Kitty' theme by the way... 

Decoration of the day... Just some simple 'Hello Kitty' add on here and there to make it a 'Hello Kitty' theme... Notice the yellow gift pack??? This is something that I would like to brag about as it is custom made by yours truly!!! Nice??? Lots of credit goes to the queen as well as she's the one who source for all these 'Hello Kitty' theme items... 

What I really like about 'Marmalade' is the freedom for us to customize our own menu... They do provide us some samples and we can mix and match to our liking... Below are the menu that I've chosen...

 Garden Salad...

 Spaghetti Prawn Aglio Olio...

 Chicken Lasagna...

 Chicken Drummettes...

 Mini Cheeseburgers...

 Mini Bacon Fritattas...

 Mini Red Velvet Cupcakes...

Mini Tiramisu...

As for the cake, we go for something simple and not 'Hello Kitty' theme cake... Don't really fancy those cake as it gives me an impression that it is not edible!!! Maybe too adorable that I'm unwilling to stuff it in my mouth!!! We ordered 'Lola' cake from 'Wondermilk' which is just a floor down from 'Marmalade'... Really convenient if you ask me... But we do ordered it earlier just in case and this 'Rainbow Lola' cake is made to order according to them... Not really sure about it as it seems so normal...

Princess of the day!!! 

Still remember the day she's born and now she's a BIG girl now... Happy Birthday Princess!!!
