Self reflection of 2013

I used to love reading and writing. Hence, I made this blog. But now technology has getting in my way. Now, I love watching (TV, YouTube, movie, drama and etc).  I read & write less. (I don’t even frequently do blog hopping anymore!) I also noticed that my writing & communication skills have dropped tremendously (not that I’m an expert before, but better than now). Word does not come out easily either writing or talking. I usually draft it my mind before I write or say something. Now, that is the only things I do. I draft it in my mind and consider it done. Everything is in the back of my mind. It sounds weird or is it normal?

Cafe full of books. A serene view while enjoying my cup of coffee.

As you could see, I only wrote 1 entry in 2013. Pathetic as it may seem. And now it’s already December! In 2013, my blog only has opening & closing. No content. Now, it makes me wondering. What did I done in 2013? Has my life become empty/boring too? Did I just wake up, go to work, home, work, home again routine?

(Wait a minute, let me check on what did I wrote in 2012. Maybe some hints?)

I see. I have a few new hobbies in 2012. Baking, cooking and gardening. How about 2013? I don’t even bake anymore. And all my pot plant has withered. :-( What is happening? Do I lack of motivation? Tenacity? I think I know the answer now, but I will keep it to myself. Yes, writing does help. It makes my scattered thought organized. It makes me see things clearly. I should write & read more (I’ll try).

What with the sudden serious entry, today? Well, it hits me when I was asking Paparil to go to the Big Bad Wolf (BBW) books sales with me last weekend. His immediate response, “Seriously? Buku tahun lepas dah berabuk dalam drawer tak baca2. No.” Really? One year?  I’m sorry books.

P/S: I still went anyway. *peace*

2013 and my new blog template

2012 has been a tough & challenging year for me. Hence, I wish for a smoother and peaceful year for 2013. I know it's already March and it's too late to have a new year resolution and whatsoever...But I really need to put myself together and make things happen rather than hoping for the better! First step??? Changing my blog template, maybe? The template is simpler than the previous version. A simple me, a simpler life...Wish me luck peeps!

WISH ME LUCK,

Coffee Mama, CM

Incidental trip to Legoland Johor (hot) & Johor Premium Outlet

As usual, this is a long overdue post for a trip happens a few months back. Peace.

A trip to Legoland Johor

Shopping at JPO, Johor Premium Outlet

This is supposed to be Paparil’s trip for a paintball tournament in Johor. While Rara and me ‘menyibuk’ hoping for a side trip to Legoland & JPO. However, the tournament was cancelled! Yeehaaa! Since I have made the arrangement and booking for both hotel & flight, we decided to go on with the trip. Yeehaaa2x! (sorry Paparil..*peace*)

We stayed at M Suites Hotel which is near to Danga Bay area. The room was spacious and they have big swimming pool with slides suitable for kids (Rara’s favorite). However, the hotel is quite far from Legoland itself and the taxi fare was expensive! Phewww…

We are in Legoland on their 2^nd day of opening. Hence, the crowd was huge! And the park itself was huge too! I don’t think one day is enough to explore the whole park, let alone trying every ride. They don’t have much option for a 3 year old kid like Rara. I think a 6 year old and above will have more varieties of ride to choose from.


The weather was very hot! Please make sure you bring a lot of water and spare clothes for your kids. They have café and mini kiosk selling food, drink and ice-cream (of course) along the way. Most of our money goes to all this café (and it’s quite expensive). However, we do enjoy ourselves, strolling the park minding our own business.Hahaha...Till then, bye!
