Happy holidays! Sharing this again in case you’re looking for something to do with your little this week! ❤️
Enjoy!
Whether it's the school holidays or not, if you're looking for a fun day out with your toddler, here's the ultimate list I compiled over Ella Grace's 3 week break! 😂😅
Everyday, I would look through the list then narrow it down to one or two choices for Ella Grace to pick from (freedom within boundaries, mamas!) and off we would go!
The list is categorized by area and includes at least one activity and one restaurant. Depending on how she was feeling that day, traffic, dinner plans, etc we would either nap-on-the-go in her stroller (and mama got a quiet coffee!) then continue or we would head home.
Change it up, make it your own, invite a friend, be flexible, but most importantly, enjoy your time together and I'd love to see what adventures you guys get up to! <3

****
BANGSAR
Join a class or open swim time at Aquabubs Swim School(heated salt pool w child-friendly facilities and play area) then stop by La Juiceria Superfoods Signature for fresh organic yumminess and Floristika on the way home for a bundle of happy and a horticulture lesson.

The Hive- Bulk Foods
Spend a day talking to your little one about sustainability and conservation at this cute little zero-waste store in Bangsar. They have workshops for adults and little ones and also a little play corner if they get restless halfway through your browsing. Such a beautiful way to teach teeny tiny about reducing and reusing from helping to bring your own containers to filling them up with your sundries to picking out stainless steel straws for friends and bamboo toothbrushes for the family. The only bad part is when your child announces to the entire universe that "MAMA HAS A BIG ONE TOO!!" while pointing to the Freedom Cups.
***
DAMANSARA UTAMA
The Starling
Spend a day at Kiddomo Universe or catch a kid-friendly movie (with a playground in the cinema!) at MBO Cinemas. Stop for a steaming yummy bowl of pho at Pho Vietz or walk outside for a super yummy nasi lemak and fried chicken at Village Park.

DAMANSARA JAYA
Atria Shopping Gallery
Spend a day at Jungle Gym (Tuesday mornings are the best day to go!), eat lunch at Antipodean Cafe (they have a mini play area), get a massage at Healing Touch while teeny tiny naps or you can even drop them off at Playroom Malaysia. If you feel like blowing a few dollars on arcade fun, there is a Molly Fantasy on the third floor too! Ella Grace loves going to the Naughty Nuri's for dinner as there's always some sort of dancing performance to wiggle to!
***
DESA PARK CITY
Plaza Arkadia
Depending on where you park, check out Noriter or Kinderia for a little play, awesome books at The Story Book, a balloon at Brrrloon, the most amazing toy store and lifestyle mash up at Carousel and Kaleidoscope, splash around in their splash fountain, swing on their tree house and stop for some chicken tandoori pizza at Nutz and Bolts or a nyonya meal at Aunty Lee's.
If you're at Waterfront instead, check out the fishes in the lake, the amazing walking trail at the park with lots of pets to say hi to along the way, playground to explore and then stop for a meal at the new Kenny Hills Bakers!
***
KAMPUNG PENCHALA
Either on the way somewhere or as an activity by itself, stop by Restoran Sambal Hijau for an incredible array of authentic Malay food - Ella Grace's visit isn't complete unless she says hi to the cats, chickens, and checks out the banana leaf trees and gardens!

***
MID VALLEY CITY
The Gardens Mall
Have lunch at Benbino (The BIG Group) where there are ball pits, balloon rooms, tunnels, slides or spend a few hours at the new Jurassica on the third floor. They have an awesome play gym Ella Grace loves, along with some live reptile feedings. The dinosaur part is glow-in-the-dark and moves and roars...very cool if your little one is into dinosaurs but might be a little scary if not! They also have a rock climbing wall and flying fox in there. You can stop by Borders for a little coffee and warm milk, some books before nap time or for a little rest then head over to Fresco for delicious Mexican w churros for dessert!
***On Saturdays, our favorite SUPA DUPA Circus balloon team makes a special appearance in Benbino from 3-5pm!

Check out the newly renovated Noriter 1Mont Kiara KL (it's now completely built out of foam lego blocks!) before having lunch at Kodawari Menya where the udon is good but the service is even greater!

Ella Grace also religiously checks the Inside Scoop case to see if the Unicorn flavor is in stock!

Spend a day at the waterpark, tour the mini zoo, or build sandcastles on the beach. Make it a mini-staycation and rent a room at the nearby hotels for a little rest and check out the DreamWorks Kungfu Panda Village for a little meal fun. I was pleasantly surprised how much we loved Sunway Lagoon (even though she couldn't sit on any of the rides!) and have been back 3 times now! Get the season pass upgrade!

Teach your little about refugees and take them for a giant croissant or delicious soft-baked chocolate chip cookie at Project B and get to know your waiter!

There is also some amount of wildlife like monkeys, iguanas, monitor lizards, water spiders etc as well as turtles and fishes in the lake. We usually stop by Aunty Manju's on the way home for the world's most delicious appom or even a rootbeer float at A&W!
***On Sunday evenings, there is a really cool night market that you can get groceries, meat, fish, fruit, etc as well as all kinds of yummy dinner offerings like J's favorite satay and my favorite sup ayam!

RAWANG
Mari House
A new discovery thanks to the #LOccitaneCares program, this lovely little edu-retreat out of the city is a super fun day out for little ones from catching fishes in the streams, checking out tadpoles, learning how to grow organic vegetables using compost and other green techniques, cooking "farm-to-table" to just getting to run around in nature! Come armed in some serious mosquito repellent and on the third Saturday of the month, they have a market and picnic with workshops for the whole family!
***
ETC
Look up the IBU Family Resource Group KL playgroup schedule for the week and see which one you might like to join. If at the IBU House, we like stopping at Aunty Nat's for some delicious Nyonya food after!
Go to the morning market in your neighborhood and stop for some roti after before getting the team at Playgroup_nestkl to come over for an afternoon of messy play that includes customized sensory stations, music, storytelling, and fun!
Set up playdates in your house and just let the kids entertain each other. I can't tell you how many times that even when we had grand plans to meet at all of the above, there were also some seriously lazy days where we just hung out at home and the kids made up their own games and stories and we ate delivery!
The key to it all is just doing what works for your family and your lifestyle. You know your child best and what they can handle, even the most "boring" days in your head are the most magical days to them if only because they got mama all day all to themselves.

Vốn không phải văn hoá của Việt Nam, cũng không hẳn văn hoá của Anh, tiệc Baby Shower dành cho người mẹ sắp sinh con là dịp tụ tập của các cô bạn gái của mẹ đến tặng quà và vui chơi đến từ Mỹ.
Chính vì vậy nàng bầu ban đầu cũng chẳng có ý định tổ chức tiệc, nhưng vì đi đâu mọi người cũng hỏi "Tại sao không tổ chức Baby Shower", mẹ em Beat đã nghĩ rằng "Tại sao không tận dụng mở tiệc để mời các bạn thân thiết đến chơi vui gặp gỡ?
Sau này em Little Beat ra đời khéo mình lại bận túi bụi chẳng mấy khi gặp và nói chuyện được với bạn bè mà em không "làm phiền"!
Thế là đã quyết định làm tiệc, nàng bầu phải "làm cho ra nhẽ"! Khác với mọi lần nàng hay chọn làm tiệc ở hồ bơi, bar... lần này nàng mời các bạn bè thưởng thức High Tea - trà chiều, thú vui tao nhã và tinh tế mà nàng cực yêu thích! Tiệc trà chiều gồm có set high tea với các loại bánh kẹp mặn nhỏ xinh nhân cá salmon, sò điệp, bò wagu, các loại bánh kem ngọt, bánh scone nướng nóng giòn phết kem và mứt, bánh macaron nhấm với các loại trà nóng TWG Tea thơm ngon hảo hạng.
Dĩ nhiên khi khách mới đến ba mẹ em Beat sẽ đón khách bằng những ly rượu vang Rose, cocktail vị trà và các loại trà đá thơm mát lạnh.
Tiệc đón em Little Beat toàn sắc hồng, rose gold... vừa dễ thương lại rất sang trọng, trong không gian ấm cúng, tinh tế, riêng biệt để đảm bảo riêng tư cho ba mẹ em Beat trò chuyện với bạn bè!
Bánh và trà đã chuẩn bị sẵn sàng, hai ba mẹ em Beat đang chỉ chờ khách đến thôi!!!!
🌸 All is ready to welcome our dear friends to Little Beat's Baby Shower!
When we see an opportunity to gather with friends to celebrate our joy and important milestones, we grab it. So be which ever culture, we are here to celebrate!
When it comes to an intimate, cosy, yet sophisticated, elegant and luxurious location to throw an afternoon-tea party, TWG Tea Salon & Boutique Vietnam comes second to none!
We have prepared a full high tea appreciation menu with both mouth watering treats and a selection of the best teas for our guests. But don't forget to grab a glass of Rose Los Vascos on the way in in case you need immediate ease to your thirst! 😆
More pictures to come later 😘

Who says yogi can’t lift, run, bike and swim? Rock IT Your Way !
誰說瑜珈者不可以舉重,跑步,遊泳,騎腳踏車?Rock IT Your Way !
Interesting Read from Jed McKenna, it makes you think :
“Alternative people have convinced themselves that they have escaped from incarceration when they have merely burrowed from one cell into another and labeled the new one Freedom. In this prison of ego, world-view and cell decor are synonymous. Many live in perpetual dissatisfaction with their cell and seek remedy by introducing new and exciting decorative touches; a swatch of Buddhism here, a dab of Sufism there, a little mystic poetry to brighten the drab corner, and may be a little Native American splash to give it some local color. Always shopping, always looking for that perfect thing to fill that empty space, finding it and then growing tired of it and returning to the search. This chronic urge to spruce up one's surrounding provides the lifeblood of the spiritual marketplace, which is, at all levels, nothing more than a prison cell design boutique. Whatever you're in the market for Christian Gothic, New Age Eclectic, or Apocalyptic Chic, they've got what you're looking for.
For many spiritual people, spirituality is a walk in the park on a sunny day, bubbling with pretty notions of peace on earth and good will toward men. It's softcore spirituality, full of soft focus and soft lighting and soft music, everything soft and fluffy, all moving towards some earthshaking climax that never seems to materialize. Anyone involved in the actual process of awakening would view such frivolity the way men on a bloody battlefield view children playing war in backyards. You talk about a revolution, but revolutions aren't like afternoon tea parties with fine china and extended pinkies - they're hellish nightmares from which you can't wake up. Real spirituality is a savage insurrection, the oppressed rising up in a do-or-die bid for freedom. It's not something people do to improve themselves or earn merit or impress friends or to find greater joy and meaning in life. It's a suicidal assault on a foe of unimaginable superiority. Like David and Goliath. Our Goliath is large and powerful and cunning and all-seeing. Our David is puny and weak and stupid and blind. He has no advantage in this fight whatsoever, except the heart to fight and his rock. We can think of the rock as truth, and truth is the giant-killer. Truth destroys everything. Goliath has every power and advantage except truth, and that's why we can fight and win; we have truth and Maya doesn't. Still, it's not a one-shot deal where David throws the rock and Goliath tips over dead. It's a long, ugly struggle because we are both friend and foe; David and Goliath reside within. Every inch of ground takes everything we have. Lessons aren't delivered as quaint little parables and allegories, but as irreparable losses; lesson after lesson, loss after loss. Every step is a loss and as long as there's more to lose, there are more steps to take. Everything is lost. Nothing is gained.
Alternative people have convinced themselves that they have escaped from incarceration when they have merely burrowed from one cell into another and labeled the new one Freedom. In this prison of ego, world-view and cell decor are synonymous.

“不要尋找開悟,因為它無法被找到
開悟無法被找到,因為它無法遺失
開悟無法遺失,因為它與尋找者別無兩樣
矛盾之處在於沒有矛盾
這不是最豈有此理的事嗎?" Jed McKenna
Enlightenment is closer than your skin,
more immediate than your next breath,
and forever beyond your reach.
It need not be sought because it cannot be found.
It cannot be found because it cannot be lost.
It cannot be lost because it is not other than that which seeks.
The paradox is that there is no paradox.
Is that not the damnedest thing?
Jed McKenna
