My New Kakak

This is Anna, our new domestic helper who came to join us on 29 Nov. She hails all the way from Flores Island. We are all amazed by the courage she has to leave home and work in a foreign country at this young age of 21.

Though she no previous experience working as a domestic helper, she learns very fast and we only need to teach her once on how to use the electrical appliances and she would just pick it up! It is almost impossible for us to imagine or live in her kampung, where there is no electricity, gas stove or cars. What would our lives be like? Hmmmmmm .... I guess that is why her family sleeps at 8pm and wakes up at 6am everyday.

We are really thankful to have Anna with us and even Sofia has accepted her with open arms after three days. It has been a month now and we starting to let Anna share the same room with Sofia at night without my presence. I would have loved to continue to sleep with Sofia, just that with the second one coming in May, we think that the baby would disrupt Sofia's sleep at night and it would be best to keep them in separate room for the time being.

We hope Anna would also have a good time staying with us and be a good role model to Sofia too!

Botanic Gardens

We went back to Singapore for a short break on 26 Dec. Sofia was very very excited this time round because we kept telling her she was going on an aeroplane one week before the trip. And we told her the aeroplane has got a tiger! She must have thought it was a REAL tiger, but unfortunately, it was not. But she was equally as excited to see the "tiger" on the aeroplane so much so that she refuse to nap nor eat.

It was a beautiful day today and we actually thought of going to the zoo but there was little time left when Sofia woke up from her nap. So we went to the Singapore Botanic Gardens instead. It has been ages since I been there and it was very refreshing to be there again. We used to go there very often, for school excursions when I was young. We would have picnics and outdoor lessons there, it was beautiful. Being there with Sofia brought back all the lovely memories.

Of course, she was more fascinated by the dogs out for evening walks and the black swans in the pond than the fauna. More importantly, the park is really huge and gave her a chance to run as much as she wants to.

Sofia is filled with boundless supply of energy and it amazes and tire us out. Thus we would always try to exhaust her energy during the evenings, be it at the playground or park. Though at times I certainly wish I could use some of her energy for myself!!

Artist's Impression

We finally started this very important project today - 09 Dec 08. No particular reason why today, but we should have started last week by right. We started off with chopping down two huge manago trees in the garden. I would have loved to keep the trees for their fruits but it is way too big and gets into the way. Also, mango trees sheds plenty of leaves and attracts too many ants so they have to go.

I loved the artist's impression our designer gave us, looks beautiful right? I certainly hope the house will turn out just as good!

Aquaria KLCC

Our domestic helper, Nur, officially went home on 27 Nov. Sofia was a bit down during the first two days but seems to recover pretty quickly. I guess it helped that we did a countdown with her before Nur went home. Nur was telling her everyday that in how many days' time, kakak will take a plane and got back to her kampong. We also try to make weekends more interesting for Sofia, to try to distract her as much as possible.

Today, we visited Aquaria KLCC for the first time. I thought the place was pretty impressive. Of course, as usual, Daddy's first remark at my suggestion was "What is there to see??" To that, I reply, "Not for YOU to see, it is meant for SOFIA to see." And true enough, Sofia was thoroughly fascinated by all the different types of fishes and sea creatures. We have the chance to get our hands wet and even touch and feel the starfish and Sofia even wanted to bring them home!

We enjoyed the underwater tunnel very much, it is very fascinating to watch the sharks swim right above us and we can have a clear view of their gills, teeth and everything! Sofia was watching in amazement too, where else can we possibly show her so many fishes? It was a very good field trip and we were all so busy taking turns carrying Sofia that we only manage to snap one photo at the end.

We then went to KLCC for dinner and as we were there before sunset today, we managed to take some photos of the lovely KLCC park.

We ended the night with dessert at Häagen-Dazs, we knew Sofia would defintely be after what we ordered. So Daddy and I had our favourite green tea flavoured ice-cream which is also the least sweet among all.

Sofia's eyes were all on the ice-cream, eager and curious how it taste like.

So it did not taste as good as she thought afterall?!

Yes, it was Sofia's first time eating ice-cream, we tried our best to keep it away from her for the longest we can. But it seems like she does not like it as much as we do, which is good. In the end, she ate more of the waffle cone than the ice-cream.

Mei-mei or Di-di?

Whenever we go to the playground or Sunday school in church, I try to teach Sofia the difference between 哥哥,姐姐,弟弟 and 妹妹. I am suppose to speak and teach her English while Daddy is the Mandarin guy, but "sister" and "brother" in English does not differentiate the age difference. So I broke the rule and taught her these few words in Mandarin.

She can say 姐姐,弟弟 and 妹妹 quite clearly now and my mum had this interesting conversation with Sofia few days ago:

婆婆 : 小宣, 你要妹妹还是弟弟?
小宣 : 妹妹!

婆婆 : 小宣, 不如我们来个弟弟好吗? 你要妹妹还是弟弟?
小宣 : 妹妹!

婆婆 : 可是弟弟也不错哦, 你要妹妹还是弟弟?
小宣 : 弟弟!

This time round, my mum is happy and satisfied. To us, it does not matter, what is most important is the pregnancy is smooth and baby is healthy.

ROAR!

RRROOOOAAAARR ... Yeah, I am well, all up and running walking again ... our second babe is doing well too and hitting the 12th week milestone last week certainly makes everyone more relaxed about the situation. In fact, they gynae gave me the green light to lead a "normal" life again since 20 Oct but we never knew if anything that I did could jeopardize the precious cargo in my tummy. I could still remember on 18 Sep, before I suspected anything unusual, I went to the gym and ran 2.4km on the treadmill because I was feeling so very bloated. I felt faint after the run but did not think much about it. I only started panicking when the home pregnancy test kit showed positive and bleeding started shortly after. I felt so bad about the run and of course, Daddy was worried too.

Then the bed rest started together with weekly injections and daily oral medication. To be honest, complete bed rest may help the body but it does not help the mind. The body can stop all physical activities but the mind is active and it is pretty hard to block bad thoughts from entering the mind. I was glad to have Saanvi's mum, R, around during the first few days, before help from Singapore arrive. R made lunch for me, came over and kept me company and made sure I was resting in bed. I was really touched by her care and concern, the support she gave me was like sunshine in the middle of a cold and gloomy winter. Thank God for this good Samaritan and may God bless her abundantly!

C.R.I.B

Just a short note to let you know we are all fine. Just that I have been asked to have CRIB (complete rest in bed) till some undesirable symptons I am experiencing stops. It has been happening since 22 Sep and it really bores me.

I cannot work, walk, run, carry Sofia, etc ... and the list goes on. Hopefully things would improve over the next few weeks and life will be back to normal again for us!

Pls keep us in prayer, thanks!

On Center Stage

When I first saw this Ikea coffee table, it fitted my criteria very well.

It was round in shape, no sharp corners which means Sofia would less likely have a serious injury if she knocks or falls against it.

The table was white in colour and they makes it very easy to match with our existing furniture.

It is a two-tier table which is pretty useful as the lower tier would hold the ugly mess of newspapers, magazines, etc. and we could still put our drinks and remote controls on the top tier.

Now I realised I made a mistake. The lower tier actually help Sofia to climb to the top of the table EASILY. It was like a stepping stone for her. And once she is up there, she would dance, shake, laugh and do anything, as if she is on center stage.

My First Mid-Autumn Festival

We celebrated Mid-Autumn Festival last Saturday with Saanvi's parents, starting off with mooncakes with Japanese green tea at our place. Then we went off to the poolside with the girls to lit up their lanterns. It was already crowded with kids and everybody's spirits were so high. The girls too were happy, they have never gone down to the poolside at half past eight at night and the place look different with so many lanterns around.

I wish I could say we had a ball of a time, the girls were so fascinated and careful with their lanterns and we adults had a good romantic walk around the area.

Unfortunately, it did NOT happen the way it was planned at all. By the time we lilted up their lanterns, the girls were nowhere to be seen. They were running and walking all over the place. Ok, maybe they have not seen their beautiful nemo lanterns, so we showed them the fish. 5 seconds. That was it! That was how LONG they looked at their fish. And off they went again.

VVRROOMM! VVVRRROOOMMM! VVVVRRRROOOOMMMM!

I was so disappointed but got to admit they were probably too young to appreciate such things.

Now, Sofia only knows how to "eat" the fish ...

and sayang the fish ...

Well, guess nemo would have to sit in the store for while, we shall try again next year!

My Friend

Hi Everyone, allow me to introduce my first friend I made in KL. Her name is Saanvi and our mummies got to know each other at our condo's playground back in May. That was when we also got introduced to each and later found out we were borned exactly four months' apart! I was borned on 11 Jan while Saanvi was borned on 11 May, what a coincidence! Though Saanvi is four months' younger than me, we are of the same height. I can't help but feel rather short in front of her at times.

We play together a lot, especially at the playground during the evenings with other Gor-Gor and Jie-Jie as well. We have a great common interest between us, i.e., BALLS. We each have our own balls to play at home but we like each other's balls better, so it is a MUST to exchange balls when we play together.

But sometimes my mummy is lazy to bring my ball along and I have to borrow Saanvi's ball. Saanvi is a very nice girl and would always lend me her ball even if I do not ask.

Sometimes we would also discuss and discover new ways on how to tackle and play with the ball. It is really nice to have a playmate whom I can get along so well with. Hopefully while our parents are still in KL, we would grow up together and perhaps even go to the same school when we are older!

My First Lantern

Sofia made this lantern out of recycled materials in school today. I thought she was also taught the proper thing to do with a lantern, i.e., how to carry it, making sure the fragile thing does not get damaged.

I was so very wrong.

When I whipped out the lantern from her bag, she grabbed it from my hands and went PLONK! PLONK! PLONK! on FeFe's head! Luckily the lantern is very soft and light, no serious head injury. Instead, FeFe was rather amused and played in return, tugging the strng, trying to gnaw the bulging sides of the lantern.

The next thing I knew, Sofia started gnawing at the "stick" for holding the lantern which was made out of a straw. I guess she must have mistaken that for a real straw.

I have actually prepared a real lantern for her on Sunday, think there will be quite a crowd at the pool in our condo. Would she be interested? We shall see.

Virus Attack

Sofia was battling a throat infection throughout her sleep last night, I could not just lie there and watch sleep while she cried with frustration from the pain right? So I had to toggle between mine and her mattress, giving her a few sleepy pats till she doze off again. I woke up with two big bags under my eyes this morning. Grrrrghhhh ... worse, I can feel thick viscose mucus piling up in my nose and when Sofia coughed directly INTO my face this morning, she must have done a direct transfer of her germs into my throat as well.

I started to feel groggy and lethargic in the afternoon but Sofia was still a ball of energy. It was obvious that she was also coming down with running nose and a cough but nothing seems to stop her from scaling the coffee table, chasing and screaming at the cat.

At times, I wish she can just stop moving and sit down quietly beside me, cos that's what I need most when sick and sleep deprived.

4 more to go!

Sofia's canines on the bottom are making their way out now, four more molars to go and we are done!

R.I.P.

We had an accident this morning and resulted in a fatality.

Baddie : Sofia
Weapon : Cup of water
Victim : My laptop

I left a cup of water beside my laptop this morning inside my bedroom. Somehow, Sofia managed to sneak into my room while Daddy was getting ready for work. I think she tried to pick up the cup of water to drink but failed. So my laptop ended up having a drink. And it was powered up and connected to the electrical socket at that moment.

After Daddy gave a shout, I rushed to dry up the laptop and thought it looked okay. But after a few minutes, I realised life was slowly ebbing away and the screen went BLANK! I could not think straight for the whole morning. How about my data and documents? This machine belongs to my company, would they excuse my neglience and not ask me to pay? ... ...

I went back to office in the afternoon to seek help but things did not look good. Fortunately, the harddisk was not affected and all the data and stuff can be retrieved. I heaved a sign of relief!

Life with a toddler with itchy hands can really be interesting but this has taught me a HUGE lesson -
NEVER LEAVE A CUP OF WATER BESIDE THE COMPUTER.

Officially A Pre-schooler

Going to school has been smooth for the past two days. I am really glad to see Sofia playing and running around independently when I go and pick her up. It was a total different picture from the beginning when she glued herself to Auntie Tan from the start till the end.

Today, Sofia came back with a drawing done by her using cotton bud. I was beaming with pride when I saw it. Maybe I should frame it up? I guess this painting means more than just a piece of paper to me.

I was debating hard within myself whether or not to send Sofia to preschool back in Aug. The drawing I see today somehow tells me that we have made the right decision. Sofia is having fun, polishing up her interacting skills with the rest of the kids and most importantly, we found she is less closed up now. She accepts new friends more readily and it warms our hearts to see that unrolling in front of us.

I certainly look forward to see what other stuff she brings home next!

Kuala Lumpur Tower

We went up the Kuala Lumpur Tower this evening to watch the sunset and the simmering city under our feet.

It feels like being top of the world up there.

Black Dessert

Sofia had black sesame paste for dessert the first time today.

She looks like a dirty mouse who had just eaten some stolen cream.

A Taste of KL Life

My parents-in-law are here to visit and Daddy and I felt happy to have a long weekend to spend time with them here. We decided to bring everyone out to have a taste of KL wanton mee at Jalan Ipoh. Daddy and I happened to find this coffeeshop by chance and we found the wanton mee very tasty, of course, a generous dose of lard works wonders as a tast enhancer.

Sofia enjoyed the noodles very much too, other than having fun playing with it.

Sofia looks so ungraceful here, eating with her leg propped up on the chair.

After lunch, we had a rare opportunity to be invited to a friend's house in Saujana Golf course. It was a really a big and beautiful house. The house was sitting on 2 acres of land right in the golf course and it was surrounded by greenery. Beautiful. Our friend had a cosy private swimming pool, unfortunately we did not have our swim gear with us.

The house was too big to be captured in a single shot.

Sofia took about half an hour to warm up, fortunately there were three rabbits kept as pets and they helped broke the ice. She was so fascinated and was going ga-ga over them. The next thing I knew, she was zooming around the house like a little rat, sniffing out all the decorative stuff in the house. Then I started to have cold feet. Those crystals and ornaments looked like they worth an arm and a leg. What if Sofia breaks one of those? That would blow my bank account and cost me a couple of fingers as well?

So I quickly bring Sofia outdoors. There was a small field within the house and soon, Sofia was having a good time running and playing around the field. For the first time, I felt safe for Sofia to run barefooted on the grass. I can almost be sure that there is no broken glass or cigarette stubs to hurt her. It felt really good to have our feet rested on the carpet grass instead of shoes. Sofia was not very used to the crispy grass and soon switched to the pebble stone pavement instead.

She felt a lot more at ease on the pebblestome pavement.

A tired girl after running round and round and round the field.

Sofia doing the "freeze" sign, so that I can take a photo of her.

It was a really good workout for both of us, we ended up sweaty and smelly but i enjoyed myself very very much.

I heard there is a botanical gardens somewhere in KL, think I have to bring Sofia there one of these weekends.

My Eighth Day in School - w/o Mummy

"Sofia is adapting well to school and we are seeing improvement everyday.", the principal told me when I picked Sofia up today.

I checked my measuring tools and they tell the same story.

Water - Not finished.
Milk - Untouched.

No more crying when we met at 1130pm, Sofia even went to play again and relunctantly left me when I asked her to.

Verdict : Occasional shower

My Seventh Day in School - w/o Mummy

School was better today, though Sofia still cried when we parted.

The water and milk were only half consumed when I pick her up and no more bawling when she saw me, which was a great consolation.

Verdict : Thunderstorm

My Sixth Day in School - w/o Mummy

Sofia is back in school today after a week's break. I think she forgot all about it after one week.

Thus this morning was extremely messy, tears were everywhere and she was crying and screaming when I left. What a bad start.

I packed a full bottle of water and a full bottle of milk (180ml) for her in the bag. These are my tools for measuring how much comfort she needs in school. When I picked her up today, she has already finished all the water and milk. She cried again when she saw me.

Verdict : Catastrophe

My New Friend - Barney

Daddy and I were at The Curve for our weekly date late last night and there was some book sales going on there. Daddy, being a bookworm, of course would not give it a miss. I love to read too, but it is just so hard to squeeze time for myself nowadays. It would take me ages to finish a book.

Instead, I was attracted to a cart full of DVDs at one end. There were some DVDs on 30-50% discounts and guess what, I found many Barney DVDs in the pile. They were going at RM15 a piece after discount and I thought that was a good price, as compared to the Signing Time DVDs. I felt almost compiled to get some because Sofia was getting sneak previews of Barney on TV3 and she was hooked. In the end, I chose two which she would most likely be interested in.

She was fast alseep when we got home last night, so I tried it out this morning and she enjoyed it very much, especially "Let's Go To The Zoo". Phew!

But I think she could not make out a single word what this pink dinosaur was talking about. He does not speak in a clear clean tone like Auntie Rachel, neither does BJ or Baby Bob. Even Dadddy and I, as adults, had difficulty in catching the words, if not for the subtitles. The real animals shown in the DVD was good though, we all enjoyed that.

One thing I still do not understand though - why are all kids attracted to this weird looking pink dinosaur with fake white sparkling teeth? Beats me.

New Pearlies!

Sofia's top two canines are out, finally!

Immunisation

I was not aware babies nowadays got to have some many jabs from the time they are born till about 1.5 yo. It was like a monthly affair for the first year and bi-monthly affair during the second year. Did I have so many jabs when I was a baby? I doubt so. But I guess most parents are very kiasu nowadays (including me) and would also line up those optional jabs, eg. pneumococcal, alongside the compulsory ones.

Sofia has just completed all the compulsory jabs about a week ago with a new PD recommended by my neighbour. Sofia seems to feel very comfortable at his clinic and was happily playing with the toys. At least she did not cry until the PD did a check on her before the jab. Sofia's weight was 10.5kg and standing at 81cm. The doc commented she is of good weight and that really made me a happy mum.

Just as I thought it would be a while before she has to be jabbed again, the doc recommended giving her Hep A jab when Sofia turns two. The doc reasons that usually after the age of two, toddlers would start eating food cooked outside the house and it would be good to give her the Hep A jab. It makes sense to me.

When we stepped out of the clinic, I asked Sofia on the way home:

Me : Sofia, we have to come back when you turn two yo and have the Hep A jab, okay?

Sofia : -silence-

Me : We had an injection just now, let's come back and have one more when you turn two yo okay?

Sofia : Dak! Dak!

Sporty Family Day

Today was Sofia's school's "Sporty Family Day" where parent and the kid would team up and play telematches with others. It was an event for the whole school, meaning we would get to meet up and interact with the kids from the other branch at Damansara Utama. I was kind of excited and wanted to sign up with Sofia, we probably cannot participate well but it was a good opportunity for us to widen our social circle.

Unfortunately, Daddy is coming home today after spending a good two weeks in Phoenix and timing clashes. If we go to the event, Sofia would not be home to welcome Daddy when he returns. In the end, we decided to stay home to welcome the "lao" baby back.

Close Your Eyes

This is what Sofia does when you tell her,"close your eyes please".

I love this expression.

My Fifth Day in School - w/o Mummy

Our conversation this morning ...

Me : Sofia, shall we go to school today to play?
Sofia nodded her head.
Me : Good girl, let's go to school and play with all the gor-gor (boys) and jie-jie (girls) ok?
Sofia nodded her head.
Me : Sofia, when you go to school, mummy needs to go the market for a while to buy fish and vegetables for dinner tonite, ok?
Sofia : -silence-
Me : Mummy will just go for a while and will come back and pick you up from school, ok?
Sofia nodded her head.

I wondered if she understood what I said? I think she did cos she clung onto me the moment we reached school and whenever Auntie Tan came close to play with her or carry her, she clung onto me even harder. I reminded her again about our conversation this morning and I need to go to market. This time round, she replied ,"Tak tak!" which means "no" in Malay. Oh no.

In the end, I got away today at double the speed and this time round she was already wailing before I passed the door. Bleh. I went home and got some work done. Somehow I think she will do better today.

I went back at 1130am to find her teary face and when I hugged her, she started complaining! I thought she was crying but no, she was whining as if crying, but not a single drop of tear she shed. I wanted to laugh at her but I could not. So I gave her praises and told her that she did well. Auntie Tan told me she cried and slept for about half an hour, then in between play, she also cried a bit, but generally ok. I guess Sofia is on track then? The principal told me there were kids who would cry continuously and were impossible to soothe and calm. For those kids, they have no choice but to send them back and the parents would have to look for alternative caregivers.

It looks like Sofia is going in the right direction but would still take a bit of time to adjust. Well, I certainly do hope so too.

My Fourth Day in School - w/o Mummy

Today marks the fourth day in school for Sofia and I have to start my disappearing act today. Sounds easy rite? Certainly not!

We went to school as usual, Sofia still refuses to go into the sand pit, using all her abdominal muscles to pull her legs up whenever I try. Never mind, we went around the garden, had some fun with the bicycles, etc. Then it was indoor time. This was probably the best opportunity for me to disappear cos she would start exploring herself. So everyone went in after washing their sandy hands and feet. Sofia followed the crowd in and the teachers were ready.

I made a quick scramble for the gate and drove off. In my mind, I can imagine her wailing already. I felt so bad but there is no turning back. This is the first time I am leaving her all alone to face her fears and insecurities, how could I do that? But I know this is something every kid and parent got to go through, just got to face it someday.

I drove around the neighbourhood absent-mindedly, peering into some of the houses under construction to see if I can steal some ideas from them. Went to the market to get some parsley and spring onions, look at my watch for the hundredth time ... time seems to pass so slowly. I wanted to go home but what if she needs me, like within 5 mins cos she vomitted after crying? It was so tough to "kill" that one and half hour.

Finally I went back to school at 1120am to see my baby asleep in Auntie Tan's arms. My heart was broken, this is the first time Sofia has ever slept in a stranger's arms. She must have been so tired from crying that she asked for milk (for comfort) and fell asleep after drinking. I scoped up the sleeping girl, put her in the car seat and drove her home.

At the back of my mind, the principal's warning was running through my mind again,"Are you ready for this? If you are ready, you must harden your heart when she cries for you ..."

Bae-bi & Dog

Sofia started babbling these two words very clearly all of a sudden two days ago.

"Baebiiiiiiiiish! Baebbbble. Baish. Baeeeeee ....." Then all of a sudden, loud and clear "BABY!"

So I gave her an applause and encourage to repeat "BAby! BAEby!". But sometimes she would play a fool and jumble up all the words. This is the second two syllabus word she can know speak. First was "bubble" and now "baby".

She managed to get "dog" right the first time and we can see she is very pleased with herself when we shower her with praises and claps.

I just can't seems to succeed in getting her to say "cat" instead of "mao mao". In fact Daddy only teached her "mao", how did "mao mao" come about?

Never mind, since I am her English teacher and Daddy is her Mandarin teacher, and Sofia speaks more English than Mandarin, I win!! Haha.

My Third Day in School

Friday is "water play" day in school and I dressed Sofia up for the occasion. She was also anticipating the water session in school cos I have been telling her about it since the night before. This morning, she happily got into the pool and she was all alone cos many of the kids have either fallen sick or just recovered so the pool was out of bounds for them. They could only play outside the pool. I kept my fingers crossed that she will not fall sick too.

After the pool session, it was indoor play and she immediately went for her favourite - the stacking wheels.

It was Oliver's birthday today and his parents brought a pretty chocolate cake to school during lunch time, to celebrate his birthday with all the kids. We had all the kids crowded around the table, eyes glued to the cake, including Sofia. The next thing I knew, she stretched out her hand and grabbed the cake. I tried to save the cake but it was too late. Part of the cake was bald with the chocolate cream scrapped off. I was super embarassed and apologized to the parents. Arrrghhh ... that little troublemaker ...

We went on to light the candles and sang "Happy Birthday" Song to Oliver. I took my camera and left Sofia alone to take some photos. It was a rare chance to have this bunch of kids standing together with minimal fidgeting for two minutes.

Halfway through the song, the birthday boy blew out two candles.

Then disaster no. 2 struck - little troublemaker stretched out her hand and grabbed one of the candles on the cake.

I was too far away to do anything.

A teacher nearby quickly took the candle from her hand and put it back in the cake before the song ended.

I don't know what the birthday boy's wish was but I wished there was a hole somewhere for me to hide.

My Day in Kuching

I went to Kuching for work again today, had to make it a day trip cos my big baby is out of town and the small baby is alone with the maid. It was tiring, no doubt. But today they MAS stewardess served me something HOT. It was nice and warm, as if it was cooked 5 mins ago, not refrigerated overnite. Finally. These two pieces of bread was called "crispy bread", though neither crispy nor crunchy, it is okay. The bread was warm and the sauce was a little hot and spicy but it really tasted good! It has been a while since I last enjoyed MAS inflight food.

It was a hot and humid day in Kuching when I arrived. The first drink that came to my mind is the three-layered teh-ci-peng in a coffeeshop in Greenheights. The bottom layer is the gula melaka, middle portion is evaporated milk and top it off with tea. Somehow I like this coffeeshop's combination best among those that I have tried in Kuching. Even my mum is a big fan of this drink! I hope to find a coffeshop in KL that serves this drink with the same standard some day then I can have it whenever the craving strucks!
