This resort hotel is a real winner, the staff are helpful, clean and spacious room with lots of amenities, they also have gym, jacuzzi and children's separate pool. The buffet breakfast is delicious with full selection. We'd like to stay again...

Garage

That is the picture of our garage when we moved in 5 months ago. Although it looks tidy now, our car still can't fit in it because it is a narrow single garage and it's more useful as a kids rumpus/play area.



The floor was stained with oil and thick dark mud that was left unclean by old tenants. With lots of washing, scrubbing and bleach, the floor is much better. But there is more better and easier new way of treating your garage floor, the garage floors has many different solutions to offer, which will benefit a lot of household and makes it easier to maintain and looks neat.

Busy Sunday

We had a busy but fun day today. We had lunch at Areisha's 3rd birthday party and a barbecue dinner with Alyssa and family. It's been good to see friends and play with them again.

Here are some photos with Alyssa's after having bath with them.

Alyssa is not sleeping, she's just blinked and camera caught her with closed eyes.
