Baby Spa

I bought a bottle of oil of Eucalyptus brand "Kangaroo" from Babyland last week and decided to try on Xavier...so I filled up his tub with warm water as usual, then I drop a few drops of the oil into the warm water. I let him play in the tub for few minutes, sightly longer than his normal bath time.

Result: He enjoyed the invigorating bath and he loves it!

NZX ~ Festive Fun~tasy

4th January, 2009 - argghh... I have problem pronouncing this place.. easier to call it NZX. NIUZEXUI is a new commercial square located in Ara Damansara, near the Subang Airport.

Yes, this post is delayed but I appreciate my dear friends' suggestion Rachel to visit the "Festive Fun~tasy" happening in NZX. In this event, there were display of lanterns of the Disney Characters and the entrance fee for adult is RM 10 (I forgot the fee for kids) and we can redeem the souvenirs inside.

I also met Rachel's friend, also name Irene with her family and she's a blogger mom too.

To conclude, this display is suitable for kids like lil' Phil (and older kids born in the 70's....haha) who enjoy taking photos with their favourite Disney cartoon characters.

Enjoy the photos!!
