Monday
I took 2 days leave on Friday and Monday to go back to JB and Muar. We had no plan for this coming school holidays and I become restless hearing my sisters will be going from 1 place to the other. We spent 2 nites in JB and 1 nite in Muar. I feel that we should've gone to Muar earlier as there's nothing much to do in JB other driving around and eating!
As usual we stopped at Mee Rebus Haji Wahid at Angsana, at night we went to Tiptop to eat ikan bakar, sotong goreng tepung and ABC, the favourite of the kids.
We stopped by Kak Linda's house on Saturday to pass to her the Corelle dinner plate that I owed her long time ago and keep forgetting about it. Kak Linda's big and beautiful house is at Taman Nong Chik and we parked our black Vios across the road from her gate. We were taken on a tour of the house that has a swimming pool and an attic, wooden concept and we talked through the rain.
When we were done, Kak Linda's husband, Fauzi said, "Eh tingkap kereta tak tutup ye?" And I was thinking "habis la basah kereta hujan lebat tadi". And then Fauzi saw the glass window on the ground and he mentioned "eh tingkap kena pecah la" that make us running to the car. And I instantly know that the bag that I left at the back seat will be missing. The bag is Kipling, I ordered from US and in the bag are 2 Tupperware water bottles, 3 milk divider, 2 Avent bottles that I also ordered from US, a napkin cloth and 1 or 2 diapers. Yes, the bag is a milk bag for my kids and I am so sad the bag was stolen. Good thing they did not take the Smartag placed at the dashboard. Maybe they cannot reach it. If they try to open the door, the alarm will go off.
We went to Toyota Service Centre in Jalan Gagah but was told that it was closed. I goggle for Dr. Cermin and found 1 shop at Kg. Bendahara. Replacement of the glass window and labour costs us RM280. I was already redha with the test and surrender to the fact that we have to change the window (back, right side) and do again the tinting at V-Kool Subang. However I am sad about the bag. I love the bag, I haven't use it for that long. Even when I have another red Kipling bag bought together with the dark blue bag.
After taking a fresh supply of milk from the house we went to Nusajaya area, LEGOLAND, Medini, Puteri Harbour and bought durian from 1 of the stall there. Dinner is at Singgah Selalu but it was lousy. I will not go there again.
We went to PZ on Sunday and brought Mak to buy a stove as they one we gave her in 2007 was already leaking and keep going off. In the afternoon we pay a visit to Abg Mansor aka Pak Uda whose leg was broken due to a fall in Taman Meranti, Batu 3 1/2 Bakri. After that we went to Tanjung Emas to eat rojak petis and treat to kids to giant bubbles.
Ayu & family finally came to Mak's house and slept overnight as I had been begging her to come. The kids want to see their favourite cousin, Akid.
We reached Puchong at 5.45pm sleepy and tired from going through the jam from Senawang to Seremban caused by the road construction there.

Plan for Hokkaido Trip
20 May 2015
Wednesday
The flight ticket is by ANA, among the cheapest that we could find, RM2,138.90 for adult and RM1,696.90 for the kids. However the total we have to pay is RM7,679.60 for the 4 of us as we had delayed a few days from the date we booked the ticket and the price is subject to fluctuation of the currency. The delay was caused by ANA not being able to charge my credit card online and we tried for 2 days before I decided to quit trying and pay a visit to their office instead. Apparently ANA system had this 3D security feature and the transaction cannot go through as long as the system is not disable. I even called Citibank and they verified that there is no problem for my transaction to go through. And I have been paying my card in full for the past few months.
At first I tried booking for the tickets via ANA website, however we are not able to book a seat on the domestic flight from Tokyo to Sapporo on the date that we wanted. So I called ANA office in Wisma Goldhill, Jalan Raja Chulan and a rep named Ryona Lim suggested an alternative flight that will depart from Narita rather than Haneda that will save us lot of RM and time!
We will be flying from KLIA to Tokyo and from Tokyo to Sapporo via Narita. However our flight back will be from Hakodate and will land in Haneda. From Haneda we have to take a limousine bus to Narita Airport to take our flight from Tokyo to KL.
Hotel in Sapporo is RM1,715 for 5 nights and the one in Hakodate is a bit expensive at RM1034.00 for 2 nights. The total so far for the flight and tickets for 2 adults and 2 kids age 7 & 5 is RM10,428.60.
I had since doing a lot of reading on the place and by now can very well imagine where we will be going and the activities that can be done in Sapporo, Otaru, Asahikawa, and Hakodate.
Other things to do :
We are not going anywhere during this 2 weeks school holiday so I am looking forward to this trip. Well.. I had already thought of a NZ trip for next year hubby thinks that I am mad. LOL.
I am really crazy about travelling that my mind is always thinking "where to go next" "where to go next"! As if the money is limitless *sighhh* The other place that I would really like to go is Pulau Tioman as I had not been there and I longed to snorkel for a very long time now.

Other things to do :
1) Renew Faris and Ariana's passport;
2) Buy boots suitable for snow;
3) Long John for kids (at least for Ariana);
4) Buy bubble jacket?
5) Change RM to Yen.
We are not going anywhere during this 2 weeks school holiday so I am looking forward to this trip. Well.. I had already thought of a NZ trip for next year hubby thinks that I am mad. LOL.
