Sunset @ Kite Beach, Dubai

Sunset at Kite Beach
Going to beach is a MUST for summer before it gets too hot! Nowadays temperature in daytime goes up to 46 degree Celcius and gets a little better in the evening. Before it gets too hot, we must hit the beach. We went to Umbrella Beach at Fujairah the other day and now that we are back to Dubai, we decided to go to Kite Beach!

Kids initially didn't want to go cause there is no toilet to shower at the Umbrella Beach but in the end, they decided to get ready and go!

In his new pants (chosen by himself) and sunglasses (from Shake Shack)
We reach about 6.30pm so that we get to play for 30-40 mins before the sun set and it won't be that hot! There is a public carpark and we parked there and it is just a short walk to the beach.

First thing the kids wanted to do is picnic. They had packed up some chocolates and Oreos at home so that they get to picnic....

Mummy, its time for picnic!
And the sun is slowly setting. Loving the sunset view!
Enjoying sunset..
After picnic, its time to play! It is a clean beach and the sand are really soft and nice!




I love sand castle!
I took a walk around and there is also a beach library with books for visitor to read.

Library at the beach!
There are a couple of restaurants along the beach but weather is really warm so there is no one eating. There are also some game stalls and trampoline. 


Shower is shared and water is warm due to summer. Might be cold in winter so do take note!

Shower
Was a great public beach with toilet, shower, some restaurant and game stall. We will come again! :)

Kidzoona indoor playground at Jusco Bukit Indah, Johor, Malaysia.

Image
We recently brought the kids to Kizoona at Jusco Bukit Indah. I find it very worth it in terms of the price and the facilities are also pretty good.  The place is not big but there is enough things for the kids to spend a few hours there... Includes bouncing castle, some individual shops (flower shop, cafe, supermarket for kids to play around), a big pool of ball, some cars, and a huge rolling ball-like thing where kids can go in and rotate. Fully air conditioned and there is only one entrance to go in and out. Parents can stay inside to accompany your kids at no additional charge. Just remember to bring your own socks otherwise have to purchase before going in. Toilet is not in the playground so there only cons is have to bring the kids out to toilet. Tickets are for a whole day so unlimited entry throughout the day.  Kids can play, go our for lunch and then come back and play again.  If there is two of you looking after the kids , can take turn to go shop

Chinese New Year Celebration in Dubai

Image
This is our second year residing in Dubai and Chinese New Year is not a public holiday in the UAE. This year we decided to stay in Dubai as there is no school holiday that coincides with the Chinese New Year period. There is a few celebrations going on as there is quite a number of Chinese in UAE. There is lion dance competition at Dubai Park and Resort, lion/dragon dance parade at City Walk and some celebrations at Jumeirah Lake Towers. Many Chinese restaurants offer reunion dinner package (at a premium price of course) and some renowned hotels offer buffets with Chinese new year theme.  One week before the celebration, I started making some Chinese new year cookies/snacks to get into the mood. My favourite is the pineapple tarts to symbolise wealth. I even attempted to make the fillings from scratch but I have to admit it is a lot of work for 36 tarts that I make. I also make a couple of others easier snacks such as seaweed crisp, cornflakes cookies and pe

Great for family/ friends bonding- KUKUP 2 day 1 night TRIP

Image
Situated in Pontian District, Johor, Malaysia- KUKUP Fishing Village is a wonderful place for family/friends bonding.  The chalets are build on the sea and there is not much attractions around the area so basically most activities are done in or around the chalet which is great for bonding. There is no place to park the car in front of the chalet as all of the chalets are build on water, so do park your car (if you are driving) at the designated car park before the jetty. We parked at JJ Carpark (RM7 for 24 hours) and the staff send us to the jetty area using his van. We can then walk or take a boat to the chalet.  We decided to walk....and we manage to enjoyed a cooling and refreshing coconut pudding on the way... Refreshing coconut pudding Very nice and refreshing thought is a bit pricey RM9 There is also some stalls selling dried seafood- anchovies, etc. Bicycles are available for rental ... The chalet we stayed in... There are lots

Travel tips to Perth in Winter

Image
My first travel post will be sharing our family winter trip in Perth.  HOW LONG TO GO: Our trip is 2 weeks long as part of it is hubby's business trip, a trip of 5-7 days will be sufficient. For those planning for a trip this June School Holiday , Perth is actually quite a nice place to go. In contrary to normal believe that weather is bad in Australia in winter, we actually find it quite cooling and not too windy or rainy as long as you avoid Busselton and Margaret River area. Focus your trip to Perth up to Rockingham and anywhere to the north of Perth will have cooling and sunny weather most of the time. Check out the Perth weather forecast   here. It ranges between 8 to 18 degree Celsius throughout and it is quite cooling and nice! FLIGHTS For direct flight from Singapore, one can choose between Singapore Airline, Emirates, Qantas, Scoot and Jetstar. We took Singapore Airline as it is hubby's business trip. For those who wants to travel in comfort, thi

A day trip to Fujairah, away from the hustle and bustle of Dubai.

Image
Half term break- a phrase uncommon to schools in Asia. We have always known all breaks as school holiday. Here in international school , there is spring break, winter break , summer break and in between there is also some short half term break. This is the kids first school holiday after starting school in April 2018 so after a busy one and a half month, kiddy have 4 days to rest. We spend the first two days hanging around the house, went to indoor playground and accompany daddy to collect his new car! With our new ride, we decided one morning to go for a day trip to a nearby emirate. Fujairah is one of the seven emirates that makes up United Arab Emirates (UAE). It lies on the East Coast of UAE along the Gulf of Oman, well known for its beaches and Hajar Mountains. Its landscape is very much different from Dubai. Instead of skyscrapers, rocky mountains can be seen along the way and a 4WD car is ideal for exploring the emirates. A day trip from Dubai is great to get away from the

Kuala Lumpur and Genting Getaway April 2014 (Part 1)

Image
We love going on road trip to Malaysia for various reasons. First, I could just pack anything (I meant anything at all-clothes, pampers, rice grain, thermos etc without worrying about exceeding weight limit) Secondly, I can just dump everything into the car's boot (stroller, luggage, pillows, bolster) Thirdly, food and accommodation is relatively cheaper in Malaysia as compared to Singapore due to the exchange rates so it went easy on our budget :) Lastly, with kiddos on board especially young ones (less than 1 year old) it is easy to go on road trip. It offers great flexibility, anything I want to breast feed, I can just stop and breastfeed at the back seat, anytime we need to change a soil pampers, we could do so either in the car or the nearest changing areas. There is no need to rush for flights, catching trains at certain schedule etc... Thus, we only start bringing our kiddos abroad after 1 year old but having said that, I also read many travel adventure by other

Restaurant Albergue 1601 Review (Macao)

Image
I came across this restaurant while searching for where to dine during our trip. The review is good with a few recommendation of dishes to order. Plus, the location is near St Paul Ruins so it kinda fit in our schedule and here we are. This is really the best meal during our trip and I would say one of the best meal I ever had in my life so ya, I definitely highly super recommend this place when u come and visit Macao :) Ambience is good and definitely good enough for special occasion. It is located in this super old building that is build in 1601 hence the name. The building has been redecorated and it looks pretty now.  After we ordered, we were given a complimentary bread basket and warm/cold water.  Enjoying the warm complimentary bread basket Yummy We have ordered stuffed squid as entree but it was kinda disappointing. The squid is so small and there is hardly any stuffing inside. Cost MOP$88. At this point, I was a little disappointed but luckily the main

Day 3 After spending 2 days in Fremantle, we checked out of the hotel and drove into the Perth CBD area...

Rustic interior look More seatings Bar area Hog's Breath specialise in Prime Rib Steak which they slow cook for 18 hours. Hubby and me both ordered their Prime Rib Steak (mine is original version and hubby's one is top with egg and bacon).  They have 3 types of cut to suit different stomach: 1) Traditional cut-about 300g steak 2) Lite cut-about 200g steak 3) Mega cut-about 400g steak While waiting, the kids got their colour pack... so they are enjoying themselves.
