MACROBOTICS WORKSHOP

15/2/2020

When I expressed my interest in the  cooking workshop by  Woods Macrobotics workshop, the girls  quickly booked for me as my birthday present and the best thing was that they also participated with me.  What a wonderful time together.

Briefly, the Macrobiotic concept: 

1.     Nature and the human body are closely connected

2.    pure food is medicine

3.    Eat food in its whole form

4.     Yin and Yang Balance. 

After brief introductions all round and she gave an explanation on the menu and the food we are cooking today.    Then its time to don on our aprons and get hands on.

ALEXA TRIP TO KUALA LUMPUR

15/1/2020 TO 29/1/2020

I am excited to share with you all the wonderful time I had with my granddaughter and family when they came to visit us in Kuala Lumpur at the beginning of the year.

Enjoying her flight 

This was not Alexa's first trip to KL.  Her first time in KL was 2 years ago and that time she was just a toddler and how she has grown this time.  

Enjoying her first Malaysian banana  at the supermarket.

Their arrival time was on 15/1/2020 and by the time they cleared the immigration, it was way past her sleep time.  My son  had expected this and had booked themselves into the Tune Hotel nearby for the night.

16/1/2020
They checked out of Tune Hotel the next day and check into Sunway Hotel. So we arranged to meet up at the Sunway Pyramid shopping mall.

I was happy and excited to see them again and it was indeed a happy tearful welcome.

Presents time.. 

  

thanks for the wonderful gifts, Eunice
