We didn't go anywhere for the holidays because Baby Orange doesn't like being in a car. So no holidays for us except around Penang. 2015 school year was deferred by one week due to flood crisis in many states of Malaysia. Their school did a donation drive for flood victims once school reopened, and the children contributed some of their pocket money. We do try to educate them on empathy for those impacted by natural disaster and how hard life would be.
On a happier note, a recollection of what Baby Orange and the children did during school holidays, makan-makan and jalan-jalan around Penang only :P

I wanted to show the mango sticky rice from a stall at Tesco food court, it is quite good!
Excuse the messy plate of rice from the boy :P |
 |
| This was at Wang Chao Jun Restaurant 王昭君小食館 before Baby Orange joins our family |
 |
| A dessert shop at All Seasons Place, it had since closed :( |
We enjoyed a buffet lunch at E&O's Sarkies before Baby Orange's arrival. Too bad the buffet was not as enjoyable now for the children, as they didn't like to be waited on to get their desserts. The food variety didn't suit them too.

During my confinement month with Baby Orange, the children had lunch at Habanero QBM. Didn't know what they had but seems like they kind of liked it.

Then Cousin Ally and her friend visited us and Baby Orange in his first month :)

Had more meals out once Baby Orange is around 6 months and able to sit with us.
This was at Gelatomio Gurney Plaza and Kim Gary's. Other photos posted in Baby Orange updates. |
Then it's holiday month upon us, time flies :)
