Life... with only four letters in the alphabets, speaks volumes to many different individuals. As for us, life is what God has given and what we make out of it in obedience to Jesus Christ! So live life to the full... life is indeed exciting!

The Yongs Have Landed in KL

On 1st December, we landed at KLIA after a 2 hour flight, making this the official landing for the Yongs. It was a smooth fligh with kids behaving well. We have left our old home in Miri and made a new one in KL. We had to hire a Pregio van to transport us from KLIA to our new home... we had that much luggages with us! Oh, and not to forget to mention that my in-laws were with us too to help us move and settle in.

So this is the second weekend in KL. The initial week was filled with days of unpacking, re-arranging our stuff in the new home. Our container arrived before we arrived on 1-Decmber. So it was a good plan in that we have almost everything we needed when we arrived i.e. after unpacking the 100 boxes or so!! We have most of the boxes unpacked now. Still a few more to go...

Today after attending our worship service at SIB KL, we headed to One Utama for lunch. Upon reaching the mall, there was this big poster showing "The Mickey Mouse Club House" characters. They were having a show and a meet and greet at the Lower Ground floor of the Oval wing. There was Mickey, Minnie and Donald. Both our kids were estatic! Real life "Mickey Mouse Club House"!! What a treat!

So when we had our lunch, Josh ate super fast and kept asking when the show is starting. Well, when we finally reached the stage, there were just so many people watching the show! Then those who queued for the tickets had their pictures taken with the characters on stage! As we did not take our digital camera with us, we did not bother to queue to meet the characters. By the way, the line is like 400 people long!!!

Anyway, they were selling all sorts of Disney goods and Astro was there too... promoting Josh and Jess favourite TV channel i.e. channel 63 'PlayHouse Disney Channel'. They had some games for the kids but to play the games, we had to queue up. Yes, KL is about queuing and waiting. Josh and Jess almost gave up waiting as they wanted to go in to play the games! When our turn finally came, they enjoyed themselves and won themselves Mickey-Ear hats. Very cute!

And guess who we saw at the mall? Tun Dr. Mahathir Mohamad himself with his wife and granddaughter I think. He was very nice to stop and pose for pictures. I was not in time to catch a good photo but nevertheless, it was quite an honour to see him and his wife in the flesh! Check out the photo I managed to take below.

After spending about 3 hours at the mall, we headed home, with everyone except the driver sleeping! Here are some pics from my PDA camera. Quality is not very good. How we wished we brought our digital camera to capture the moments.

Jess has Mickey-Ears too! There were Little Einsteins cut out posters.. the kids loved it.

Glad that you're settling well. The kids will love KL for all the things it has to offer.

1-Utama used to be my favourite shopping mall cos we used to live in BU11.

I still prefer to live in Miri, despite being a KLite! Less waiting, less people, less cars, less stress!:-)

dancing queen,

I agree that this is a land of queues, queues and more queues... on the brighter side, I guess this will teach us all to be more patient... hopefully!

Thanks for dropping by! Keep up your good blogs... we are reading! :D

Helo~
Glad that the move went smoothly. Yes, KL is busy busy busy! compared to Miri. There are a lot of fun stuff there though , not to mention facilties. For myself, the advantages has always been the larger collection of books there, not to mention the variety! :) Hope the young ones will settle in their schools with no problems..
Cheers~
