Here today, gone tmr

So LM has gone through a transformation yday! No longer has he having a full head of hair but he is as bald as a ... Eggshell!

We wanted to keep some traditions alive and balding of the babies head was one of them.

So we went to Batu Caves where the barber did an amazing job cutting off the locks of a crying child (LM wasn't happy having to sit still plus the fact that there was a sharp razor cutting hair really made this mother sit on edge) but there was hardly a nick on him.

We then hiked up the 200+ steps up to get blessings before finishing off with some vegetarian banana leaf and paper thosai meal.

He doesn't look like my lil one tho. He acts like my son, he eats like my son - but he doesn't look like mine now! Lol. This is what happens when you get used to something ;)

Family getaway - Penang, Malaysia

We are having our first family getaway in Penang, Malaysia this week. The weather has been great - not too sunny and some could even say temperate compared to the usual Malaysian humidity.

LM has been getting lots of attention from the various guest here at the hotel. We have been having ppl looking after him or carrying him while we are by the pool or having breaky which is rather nice of ppl. Apparently lil babies are always welcomed all over! Rather endearing too.

We are staying at Batu Feringgi which is a tourist hub but seeing that we didn't know what to expect when it comes to traveling with a lil one, it's the perfect holiday. All we have been doing is sleep, lounge by the pool and eat. I know I've gained weight already - the spread has grown sideways!

As per my recent status update on FB " Everyday is a beautiful day when one is on holiday"

Naughty getaway ..

Ah...
So mum is taking LM for the weekend while the parents have some time to recharge their batteries.

What do we do?
1) Head to the cinema and catch a movie
2) Check into a hotel for the weekend (LM is 1/2 hr away which means we are still available for emergencies)
3) Be back in the hotel room by 9pm, order room service and relax.

Ahhh....

Lil man's first flight

Back to Malaysia to visit mum's side of the family.

First international flight at 10 weeks old ! Is this turning my lil man into a jet-setter or what?

Brunch @ Proud Mary Collingwood

I must say, being on maternity leave is great - when else can do brunch on a Monday morning without feeling guilty (annual leave does not count)

Brunch today was at Proud Mary in Collingwood. I had the ricotta hot cakes with poached peaches and pistachios whilst my brunch mate had the pork belly sarnie washed down with mocha and as always, brunch was good.

I can get used to not working I reckon. Lol.

Brunch @ Industry Beans Fitzroy

Have been doing way too much blogging about baby these days so pretending like my life is BB (before baby), I went for brunch with a mate whom I haven't caught up with in nearly 2 years. Now, she is a food blogger so we checked out this place that I would not have found otherwise!

Just close to the Rose Street Artist Market sits Industry Beans. True to its name and location, it attracts the hip crowd being rather artsy and even the menu had infusion type food -even for breakfast!

I enjoyed my French toast, my mate didn't quite enjoy her mushroom something or another. But catch up was good tho. :)
