A Christmas Treat with Pertubuhan Kebajikan Waja Home at the Curve

In the spirit of giving, the Curve brought early Christmas cheer to 27 children from Pertubuhan Kebajikan Waja Home with a magical outing at the mall in conjunction with the Curve Christmas campaign themed A Beary Merry Christmas.

Two life sized bears stole the show with their cute and whimsical performance, which was part of the Merry Beary Christmas Musical.

Thumbs up: the Curve team, the kids and their caregivers from  Pertubuhan Kebajikan Waja Home after a delightful celebration at the mall!

The eventful morning started out as the special guests and their caretakers were ushered into the Centre Court with festive gusto. There was plenty of anticipation and excitement for what was in store as the kids walked into the Centre Court, filled with furry and cute bears of all shapes and sizes! Glittering Christmas trees peppered around the Centre Court also made for a magical and cozy setting for the morning’s festivities. The merriment and delight continued as the performers took centre stage for the Merry Beary Christmas Musical. The specially-choreographed live musical told the enchanted story of a life-sized teddy bear coming to life and dancing with glee alongside cheerful dancers. The musical kept the little ones well entertained as they sang along to the catchy Christmas numbers and were mesmerised by the graceful dance moves.

Jazmi Kamarudin, Senior General Manager of the Curve, said, “In the spirit of Christmas, we are delighted to give the kids from Pertubuhan Kebajikan Waja Home a special treat. There is no greater pleasure than sharing joy and excitement (please advise) with these children and ensuring that they have a memorable festive celebration this year. We do hope that they enjoyed celebrating A Beary Merry Christmas with us!”

LEGO® Star Wars™ Miniland model display at LEGOLAND

Come seek the Force at the LEGO® Star Wars™ Miniland model display at LEGOLAND as we say goodbye! For 5 years, millions of LEGOLAND guests around the world have enjoyed experiencing the iconic saga by seeing scenes from each of the seven live-action STAR WARS™ movies replicated in 1:20 scale using more than 1.5 million LEGO bricks.

“Since opening in 2014,  the LEGO®Star Wars™ Miniland model display has been popular for children and their parents,” said Kurt Stocks, General Manager at LEGOLAND® Malaysia Resort. “We are thrilled we were able to bring this generational experience to our guests and hope those who have yet to see it, or want to revisit with their friends, will come experience it before it leaves us in December and we prepare to build new memorable experiences for guests.”

 

The photo of my son was taken a few years back when we had our family trip there.

The LEGO Star Wars™ Miniland model display has taken park guests through scenes featuring eight planets: Naboo, with its capital city, Theed and the Royal Palace, home to Queen Amidala;  Geonosis, where Padmé Amidala, Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker battle three ferocious creatures in the Geonosis execution arena;  Kashyyk, where the Droid Army’s amphibious assault on the home planet of Chewbacca and the Wookiees is depicted; Mustafar, where the fateful duel between Obi-Wan Kenobi and Anakin Skywalker takes place; Tatooine, where you’ll find the Cantina where Luke and Obi-Wan Kenobi first meet up with Han Solo, captain of the Millennium Falcon and his co-pilot Chewbacca;  Hoth, where the Empire sends massive walkers to attack the Echo Base and while Luke’s snowspeeder has crashed, the young  Jedi is seen using his lightsaber to single-handedly bring down a giant AT-AT; Endor, the forest moon which is home to the Ewoks and these small but resourceful creatures join forces with the Rebel Alliance to destroy the shield generator and prevent completion of the second Death Star; and Jakku, it is on this desert planet where Resistance pilot Poe Dameron receives a map to Luke’s location and Stormtroopers commanded by Kylo Ren raid the village and capture Poe before she escapes in a stolen TIE fighter with Finn. 

The individual film scenes were selected in close consultation with Lucasfilm Ltd. and drawings of the figures, spacecraft, vehicles, landscapes, etc. were taken as the basis for the detailed construction blueprints. STAR WARS sounds, actions and lighting effects help to make the models more lifelike.

The LEGO Star Wars™ Miniland model display is leaving LEGOLAND Parks on 31^st December 2019, so be sure to catch it before it’s off to a galaxy far, far away!

Seeing the World with Tiny Tots in Tow

There are few countries where traveling with children can prove to be an enjoyable and memorable trip, and Vietnam is one of them 

Traveling with young children may not be easy, but it certainly does not have to be intimidating. One of the most popular destinations in Southeast Asia, Vietnam has no shortage of sights and activities that will entertain even the most discerning of travellers, including the young ones.

Apart from the vibrant cities of Ho Chi Minh (south) and Hanoi (north), which are great starting points for any Vietnamese family adventure, there are several other destinations that could make your holiday an extremely memorable one.

Families can head to one of Vietnam’s beach resorts in Hoi An or Danang, which have plenty to offer in terms of beautiful beaches, fabulous restaurants and lots of fun activities for children. Some of the best beach resorts in the country are located in Danang, although the Cua Dai beach close to Hoi An is also a popular vacation spot. There are also plenty of other beaches in Vietnam’s central and south coasts worth exploring.

Hoi An also offers some unique sightseeing opportunities. Centuries-old Buddhist pagodas, temples, quaint museums and colonial shophouses line the streets of this ancient town. One of
the best ways for you to soak in the rich culture and heritage as a family is by cycling through the streets of Hoi An.

For the more adventurous families, there are spectacular mountains and jungle treks from the peaceful hill station of Dalat in the south, to the beguiling valley of Sa Pa in the northern highlands. The mountainous countryside of Sa Pa – close to the border with Yunan province in China – offers charming trekking trails for some amazing hikes; rice terraces and waterfalls; and is home to several ethnic minority tribes.

Cap off the Vietnamese holiday in the modern and bustling metropolitan of Ho Chi Minh City. Among the not-to-be-missed attractions is the Suoi Tien Cultural Amusement Park in District 1. The Buddhist-themed attraction is fitted with colourful statues of mythical creatures as well as edifices and shrines of Buddha amidst waterslides, rollercoaster rides, a 4D theatre and aquarium!

Of course, as in any foreign city, a sampling of local street food and visit to the local markets are a must. Kids generally enjoy Vietnamese cuisine as they are flavourful and rarely spicy. From a warm bowl of traditional Vietnamese pho (noodle soup) and banh mi (Vietnamese sandwish) to steamed Banh bao (steamed pork buns) and Banh Xeo (Vietnamese crepe), there are plenty of kid-friendly foods in Vietnam.

Browse along the family-run shops and stalls lining the sidewalks of the city, for a truly authentic experience. Alternatively, visiting the Ben Thanh Market will also give you a taste of the energy and flavor of Ho Chi Minh to complete your memorable holiday experience.

With the school holidays coming up in June and August, planning your next family holiday is now made easier as Vietjet, the fast-growing Vietnamese airline, is currently offering irresistible promotions on its domestic and international network as part of its summer 2018 promotion.

Sarapan Dutch Lady for seven days challenge

Good day to all my readers and visitors, how are you doing today? 

Sarapan is Malay language, it's mean breakfast. Breakfast is king, we don't want to neglect breakfast daily. I took up the challenge of Sarapan Dutch Lady for seven days. Yeah it's a healthy challenge for me.

It's important to eat breakfast daily, in Malaysia we are spoilt for choice when it comes to breakfast drinks. Studies have shown that milk is the exlixir our bodies need at breakfast. After 8 to 12 hours from your last meal, a glass of milk daily food intake.

Below are photos taken daily of seven days challenge of Sarapan Dutch Lady, I took up. Breakfast is important as it helps the body regulate itself after an overnight fast. Milk is a quick, protein packed breakfast beverage.

Day 1, Dutch Lady PureFarm with tuna sandwiches and strawberry with oat.

Day 2, Dutch Lady PureFarm with nasi lenak

Day 3, Dutch Lady Purefarm with chicken rice and vegetables.

Day 4, Dutch Lady PureFarm with bread and jam

Day 5, Dutch Lady PureFarm with Chee Cheong Fun

Daty 6, Dutch Lady PureFarm with kiwi fruit and bao.

Day 7, Dutch LadyPure Farm full cream milk and Chocolate Milk, healthy mixed oat with full cream milk and my drink is Chocolate Milk.

As you can see my daily breakfast consist a pack of Dutch Lady PureFarm. Do you know that a glass of Dutch Lady Purefarm milk in the morning can help to provide at least 275mg of calcium? This helps you to achieve daily calcium requirement.

This is how I completed  7 days of Sarapan Dutch Lady

Milk packs more punch that just calcium. Dutch Lady PureFarm is also rich with essential nutrients-some of which our bodies cannot generate on its own. An example is protein, which plays one of the lead roles in children's growth and development, such as the building of bones, muscles, and tissue. Vitamin A is crucial for healthy eye function, Vitamin B2 supports cellular functions that transform food to energy, and Vitamin D3 aids absorption of calcium and phosphorus. It is also the key to locking in healthy bone mass for adults, even during their golden ages. In other words, the creamy beverage builds strong families.

My son Yeow Shen brings a pack of milk Dutch Lady PureFarm daily to school since he was Standard One, he's now Standard Four. He has the milk to pair with food he bought from school's canteen namely mashed potatoes or nuggets.

My eldest son Yeow Shen is enjoying his Dutch Lady Purefarm full cream milk.

Milk contains about 85% water making it an effective thirst quencher after 8 hours of sleep. Let's spread the goodness of breakfast with Dutch Lady. #sarapanDutchLady

Family breakfast is the highlight of the day for Aaron Aziz, the ambassador of Dutch Lady PureFarm milk. Aaron, who is also an actor and a father, sometimes works so late that he had to catch up on sleep the next morning, hence missing breakfast. This makes him cherish the days when he doesn’t have to work early, and jumps out of bed to have breakfast with his wife and children.

Trust Malaysian's no.1 milk, Dutch Lady PureFarm for myself and loved ones.

Just two servings a day helps meet a family’s nutritional requirements! Having one of the two servings at breakfast pumps at least 200mg of calcium into the body. Dutch Lady PureFarm comes with Low Fat Milk, Full Cream Milk, Strawberry and Chocolate.
