Our domestic helper has decided to take her off day today; instead of spending Sunday at mom's house, we decided to surprise the kids by letting them know we weren't planning to go to grandma's place. The children were unhappy and were grumpy when we left church. Little did they know that mom had hidden their passports in my already-heavy handbag!
Along the way, we shared that we were heading 'north'... Lydia lamented that we should have told them earlier so they could take her savings along. Throughout the next hour or so, we had the most well-behaved children in the car!
We drove through the educity portion of Iskandar region, and saw the plot of land where University of Newcastle will sit on. Further down, we noticed a very grand looking building - think it is Bukit Iskandar. This is likely to be the government office of sort. I was impressed that even before the area was developed, Bukit Iskandar was already one grand dame and the roads leading to it was very well paved.
Well... right after Bukit Iskandar, we felt that the route looked unfamiliar and retraced our route. Heading back to the highway, we were certain we would go back to Tebrau City where we are 'regulars'. However minutes later, we spotted 'Bukit Indah' and made a turn out of the highway. The next few hours were spent milling around the mall.
Dinner was again a treat for the kids - we decided to take them to the Hot Stone restaurant where they cooked their food on stone! We finished off our meal with an A&W float before heading home.
Thankfully the traffic at the customs was smooth - this enabled us to hit home within 1 hour. The girls were so proud about their good buys and were eager to share stories of their meals with our domestic helper. All in all, an enjoyable Sunday for the family.
