Little Celebration @ Little Genting

Ashviqha's Posting:

About few months back, Mommy was telling me about this very scenic place called Look Out Point a.k.a Little Genting near Pandan Indah. You can actually see the whole of KL there while enjoying your meal. Mommy says that the view from this place is similar to the view from KL Tower. Am not very sure because I’ve never been to the KL Tower.

So Mommy, Levinkha and I decided to bring PaPa there to celebrate belated Father’s Day on 27th June. We kept it as a surprise but knowing Mommy with her poor routes and direction we had to tell him earlier so that PaPa could drive the car. We reached there at about 7.30pm and the place was packed with cars.

The first thing we did was to fill up our stomach. There were 3 restaurants for us to choose and we ended up in Bread & Olives Cafe. The restaurant was cozy but the food was so lousy. Mommy was complaining with the lamb chop, was cold and hard!! Less complaint from PaPa with his Chicken Briyani.

After dinner, I gave PaPa a special gift which I bought the day before. After a long chat with Mommy, I realized PaPa’s age is catching up and he needed some Anti Ageing product to keep him young forever…..Settled with Olay Total Effect 7 in 1 product. Mommy was saying that it does miracle…let’s see how miracle it can be!!

Later we headed to the observation tower (Menara Tinjau) which is located a few minutes walk away from the Café. The observation tower is a 3 storey wooden tower at the edge of the hill. The view of KL City was awesome from this tower. Mmm I just love it. For those who have never been there, I guess this place is worth going and I’m happy PaPa loves the place too.

This is how you get to this place:

1.Exit the MRR2 at Pandan Indah Interchange.
2.Go straight until the T-Junction. Esso will be on your left. Turn right at the traffic light.

3.Take a left at the next traffic light

4.Take another left at the traffic light beside Puteri Plaza.

5.Turn right at the traffic light junction to Ulu Langat/Kajang. (Please take note on this, you might missed the sign board, it’s few km before Carrefour)

6.From this traffic light the road is winding for about 3 km.

7.Look out for the sign board “Menara Tinjau”.

8.Will come across a food court on the right with carpark. Turn in and drive up the hill to the LookOut Point Restaurant

Scenic view from the tower. Awesome!! (PaPa seriously need to change his camera!!)

Looks good in the photo..but definetely not in reality!

Chicken Briyani was not too bad...

The happy family

A small gift from Levinkha n Me

A card and Anti Ageing Cream. Wow! What a beautiful handwriting...I'm not bragging but...mmm really beautiful!!

Hot! Hot!

Levinkha's Posting:

I wonder why the weather is just too hot? With yucky sweat ..i hate it! …being ‘shirtless’ is the best way to keep myself ventilated…LOL:)

I hate diapers because it makes the situation worst. So I still stick with my traditional diapers, cotton napkins. To Mommies out there…always consider cotton napkins as this will keep your babies bottom rash free.

Tying the Knot

Ashviqha's Posting:

It was 9.45am and we were all geared up to go for Aunty Irfana's wedding today. This was the first Indian Muslim wedding that I attended. It was very colorful and cheerful environment with the ladies were all dressed up in beautiful sarees and heavy jewelleries (few kilos each I guess). Jasmine flowers were also used to decorate their hair just like in the Hindu weddings. Mmm..i got some flowers to put on my hair too. Mommy knows how crazy I am for jasmine flowers!!

Aunty Irfana is Mommy's friend. In fact Mommy used to give her home tuition about 8 years back and since then they became good friends. She was draped in Creamy Pinkish saree with mehendi on her hands and paired with her groom Uncle Ali in a clean sophisticated black suit. Wow! He had his Jasmine Garland ...that’s similar to the Hindu weddings as well.

We left a bit early because Mommy had another appointment. We decided to have some heavy lunch in Sugumaran restaurant in SS14. It’s been a long time since I ate ‘Tairu’ (Yogurt). Since PaPa left to Russia I hardly get the chance to eat Tairu..because Mommy is not a ‘Tairu’ person!!

As a summary of wedding + heavy lunch….i was ZERO active today. Haha…

The Bride & Groom's bedroom was beautifully decorated

Happy Father's Day

'Any man can be a Father, but it takes a special person to be called Dad'

Happy Father's Day...We love you PaPa.
Mommy says that PaPa deserves a gift from us. Let's see what we can get for him before he comes back next week. Belated celebration is definetely on the agenda!

Last Friday, there was Father's Day Coloring Competition in my school. I won the competition. Who says I'm no good in coloring? Only at times i can go wrong in choosing the suitable colors for the skin and hair!! But this time it was a good job done.

The winner! I'm soooo proud of myself...LOL:)
The winners received coloring book and stationaries.

Back to Reality...

Ashviqha's Posting:

2 weeks of fun and excitement and now back to reality. Back to school with hectic KL lifestyle. Levinkha and me really miss Ipoh! Not forgetting our good friends there; Thanisha, Harikesh and Ashwini Akka. Time flies...

The fun part is NO books, MORE ice cream and FREQUENT swimming! These are the things we love to do but basically banned by Mommy a.k.a Home Minister.

I tried Cendol for the first time...was so yummmmmyyyy! Bought new pair of shoes. Learn to read Tamil. Put up in Harikesh Anna's house...well this is my first time putting up in someone's house without Papa and Mommy. Bravo I did it!

Eventhough I'm back to reality, but I'm still happy coz Papa will be back in two weeks time. Mmmmm...Levinkha has started her countdown too. I better start listing out the things that i want to do...for 4 weekends. PaPa told me that he's going back to Russia later in August.

Hypotension= 2 Weeks Break

Levinkha's Posting:

I think it's high time 4 Mommy to get a break from us...the little monsters. She's got this 90/60 pressure...oh dear, whatever it means.... but in summary it says low blood pressure. She was running around the last two weeks and Akka says that could be 1 of the reason she's going Hypo!

Yes...we decided to go E Poh for 2 weeks. Let Mommy rest in peace..LOL))....and the both of us can have fun with our friends there.

We are goin to E Poh tomorrow with Thata. Mommy said I must to be a good girl and not to increase Thata's blood pressure! What?? In KL low pressure...in E Poh high pressure????
I guess must be some scientific reason for that....(but just don't bother asking Mommy)

First Day At SRK SS19...

Ashviqha's Posting:

...was really exciting. This month is a real tough month for Mommy. She had lots of running around work to settle my kindergarten issue. Smart Reader Kids SS14 has been hit by the worst tsunami. Mommy thought another 7 months is a long way to go and she decided to switch me to Smart Reader Kids SS19 (SRK). Of course the corner lot terrace gives more space for me to run around compared to the confined shop lot. I'm more of a freebird now...:)

I'm now in the afternoon session. Less students...in a way I can get more attention..hehe! This week Uncle Rajan the transporter is sending me to school. But Mommy picks me up in the evening. I finish at 4.30pm and she'll be there about 5.15pm. This gives me a chance to play in the playground next to SRK.

First day wasn't really tough. More of assessments and readings. I heard teacher telling Mommy that I'm quite good in reading. Yippie!!!

Smart Reader Kids SS19

Still energetic after school...

Happy Mother's Day

Ashviqha's Posting:

Happy Mother's Day to you Mommy. Last year PaPa and Me went hunting for a gift and finally bought an exclusive Giordano Jewellery set. That was purely from my piggy bank! Unfortunately this year I don't have much in my pocket and also my partner is not around for the hunting session. All I can afford today is a simple painting to show how much I love her. The painting was done in school...mmm I love grapes!!

This computer painting was done last year and now it's placed in the museum...oops in Mommy's office.

Beginner To Primary

Ashviqha's Posting:

Hooray...I've been upgraded from Beginner to Primary Level for Ballet. Today was my first lesson in Primary Level. I've started on Modern Ballet as well. Kinda interesting. Hey looks like I'll be facing more exams now than before. This Sep/Oct I got to sit for Modern Ballet Examination. Not a big prob. to me because I love dancing....If you ask me on school exams it's always NO!NO!. But this May I've got mid term examination in kindy. I better do well because Mommy loves comparing my results and hers when she was small. I hate that...can't she compare mine with PaPa's.....at least for once i can be proud of my results.

Pick Of The Month

Levinkha's Posting:

During the happy hours...:))

Hey, pretty cool being in there!

What's that dangling over on your nose?

Do you think i look cute? It's pretty heavy though...not meant for the nose i guess!

Mouth Watering Weekend...

Ashviqha's Posting:

It was a weekend full of mouth watering items... CHOCOLATES!

Recently, I had a long chat with my friends Niranjana and Pramika on their visit to the chocolate factory. After the chat I was very keen in visiting one. Told Mommy that I'm interested to find out how chocolates are produced. Mommy an efficient researcher, spent about two hours looking and calling up all chocolate factories in town...

She finally found Beryl's in Seri Kembangan.

We were there in the factory as early as 8.30am (25 April) even though the tour was only at 9am. Jane Periama, Harnisya Akka and Thisheelan Anna joined us as well. It's always nice to go with the 'gang'!

I saw the process involved in making chocolates and bet everyone will enjoy visiting this place. It takes only few minutes to do the chocolate bars...Very interesting! Sorry no photos because visitors are not allowed to take photographs inside the factory.

Great experience :)) ( and bought tonnes of mouth watering chocolates..)

Mooo...Cow Replica. Had a tough time in persuading Levinkha for a Click!

Dad's Song

Ashviqha's Posting:

You saw the Mom's Song in my previous posting. Now check out the Dad's Song. Response to the Mom song is the Dad's Song. Check this out....



'ASK YOUR MOM...ASK YOUR MOM...Taaa..Daa'..Short yet amazing!!

Great job done on the Mom's Song and fantastic response through the Dad's Song.

But what about our (the kids) complaints? Yes someone has come up with her version of this song. To find out who is that 'Someone' and to listen the song, wait till my next posting.

New Template

Ashviqha's Posting:

Levinkha and I decided to change to a new template because the other one looks a bit traditional and caters for the older generation. Sorry Mommy, we had to change it despite the fact that this blog is the most valuable gift from you. We really appreciate your hardwork for setting up this blog initially but since now I'm more into the 'girly stuff', thought PINK will do wonders for my blog. Do you think so PaPa??

Mommy thinks that the Ash-Levin blog is more lively now...great minds think alike!!
While creating this template I did some simple programming to suit my needs....arrggghhh I guess that's a bit too much for my 'right brain' today and I better zzzzzzzz now!!

mE? yOGa?

Ashviqha's Posting:

Mommy has been very lethargic lately...why? Mmm..maybe she's been slacking off from Yoga. Mommy says she needs to get rid of that excessive fats collected in her body to get back on track. I wonder if there's any fat left for her to reduce.............. :)

Well she says that I'm a bit chubbier now...haha..I thought I'm always chubby and she decided to take me for Yoga. Am very keen with that idea but I shall wait for PaPa, as he's chubbier than me!! So let's balance the body, mind, and spirit, and we would definitely have fun being together for that 1 1/2 hours...But how about Mommy's best friend? Guess who's her best friend? It's Levinkha because she can hardly stay away from Mommy...she's glued to Mommy all the time. So gave her the 'best friend' title ...hehe.

My First Vacation

Levinkha's Posting:

...2 days and 1 night stay to be axact. PaPa and Mommy always exclude me from their vacation. They say it's difficult to control me..compared to Akka. But suprisingly last Friday they took me to Port Dickson(PD). I enjoyed my stay there and proved to everyone that I'm a very obedient girl(it's just a tactic for another vacation...heard that they are going to India end of this year!).

We spent most of our time in the swimming pool. We also took a short walk along the beach...hey it was nice to walk barefooted on the sandy beach! The photos say it all...

Beautiful scenery from Admiral Cove

The childrens' pool is simply amazing..

Learning how to swim

Escaped from the pool..just needed some sunshine to keep me warm!

Candid shot??

What's the 'ooohhhh' for?

PaPa says at one glimpse she looks like Asin...Asin? Someone famous? I only know cartoon characters at the moment. My version says she looks like Pooh Bear!

Family photo...

My first beach visit!

Never say NO when people let you play in the water!

Mommy says this plant is called the sleeping plant or sleeping grass. The fern like leaves close up and droop when touched, usually re-open within minutes. That's something new to Akka and me.

Importance of Tripod

Ashviqha's Posting:

We just realized the importance of a tripod when we had difficulty capturing the family photo...we were determined to get one, and finally we did it!

First try...1/4 of my face and Mommy with her funny face!

Second try...I totally disappeared!

Third try...still unsuccessful! "Come on PaPa, give it another try"

Despite the fact that the sister is missing, someone looks happy there!!

Finally PaPa made it...We know how hard you tried...LOL:)

Once we got the angle right...PaPa kept snapping!!

Click!

Ashitha?

Ashviqha's Posting:

Levinkha now calling me by name. She calls me Ashitha. Well, she replaces 'qha' with 'tha' because she has difficulty getting the 'qha' right. In fact, she calls Kakak as Tatak and Akka as Atta. She sounds really cute when addressing me as Atta.

The other day we were in One Utama when Levinkha called me 'Ashitha' for the first time. PaPa and Mommy were calling my name as I was walking like a bullet train. So she joined them to stop me. Guess what...I did STOP as I was amazed with my little sister's progress!

Earth Hour

Levinkha's Posting:

I'm so afraid of darkness and yet everyone switched off the lights yesterday from 8.30-9.30pm. As far as I know darkness means 'Hantuuuu'..(ghost) but Mommy told me that it was Earth Hour. Now I remember Akka was mentioning about it few days back.

We went to Siva Periappa's house in Kelana Jaya for a small family gathering. It was more of a candle light dinner. Well this is my first candle light dinner..LOL:)

Everyone was enjoying the food in the dark.

And all thatha's were so involved in the Booze Session!
