We never say goodbye to them thanks to tango and whatsapp….LOL!!!
For our last night we spent it with our Malaysian friends Sara and her husband Sajad and their cute boy Razmiq who calls me mummy…
We will miss them all so much but with the Manns clan you never know when the wind will blow us back to Malaysia again so stay put and stay in touch.
Oh…and here is the funny thing…for our last supper my kids asked if we could have dinner at pizza Hut….such a weird thing to ask for since we are actually going to the land of pizza hut…lol!!!
Well their not so all the time request and wish was granted and we had a tasty crusty flaky pizza and enjoyed every single bite…
Well we say Goodnight Kuala Lumpur and Good afternoon Bassett Virginia.
Great families we have made across the globe.
Just a few of our 12 check in bags…for 1 year I think I have done very well not accumulating a whole lot….we started our trip with 10 bags and now we have 12….and 6 passengers…so not bad at all…LOL!!!!

The countdown is really on as we prepare for our new adventure in Virginia….3 days before we get on our 21 hour flight….I don’t look forward to that at all….but I am excited about the destination where that 21 hour flight will take us all.
Well today we took a trip to the mines mall…it’s a 280 meters long man made lake that runs through a beautiful mall…
We got on our boat and jetted off to the mall….through a tunnel and shops all around us.
Some pictures below…

It’s a great day out here in the MINES
Malaysia Exploration Continues. ..
Well let’s see how this story line will go…
Woke up early today because its one of the days we have to leave our apartment early for the weekly cleaning.
So got up and all prep up ready for what I consider an awesome upcoming day for the whole family. Going to play archery at timesquare mall.
Destiny our oldest decided today is not a day for her to be out so she wants to rest at home…I was not too excited about her decision but since she explained that she was just tired I felt I have to respect her decision.
So marcus and I and the rest of the bunches set off…all excited because marcus was taking Mj (our 6yr old boy) on his daddy date. Mj himself was super excited and even started teasing his sisters.
Got to the train station at PWTC platform all ready to board our train….just waiting on it to show up.
Then marcus and I sat down and the other kids found a spot to sit also while we wait on the train.
Then we heard a hit….and a scream and blood all over the ground….
It’s was our son…..Lord…I felt like my world just collapsed on me as I watch marcus run to him and said keep the head up….and blood just gushing out…I thought I lost my only son…
Then I remembered something that I have been practicing since having kids….stay calm the kids are watching how I react so they also decide how they act…so I took in deep breaths and just listen to instructions from marcus. Wish I took pictures of the blood but was so deep into figuring out what we have to do next.
So I run downstairs to get a first aid kit….which they don’t have so please stay out of danger while at the train station because no medical attention available.
After cleaning the blood and finally getting him calm from crying and scared of his own blood.
We rushed him to the nearest hospital to make sure that he does not need stitches.
Blood all cleaned and trying to figure out if he can tell us what hurts….head, teeth, gum ect.
Arrived at the hospital….he did not want to sit in the wheelchair…he was not excited about that at all…
They checked him and said we have 2 options. Wait for a couple of days to see if it heals by itself with some antibiotics and pain killers or put him to sleep right away and stitch him up….well both the doctor and Marcus agree it’s not that urgent to stitch so just keep an eye on it for now…
Getting it all cleaned up
That’s how he looked swollen lip(a little cut inside) and bruised face….
Funny but after all this with our energy around him…he asked his daddy “can we still have our daddy date please?” So his wish was granted…
He did get his wish….daddy date with laser tag and a movie and some ice cream…
It could have been our worse nightmare but God is always watching over us….he is alright and playing all around like nothing happened…
I got to get a pose in before we left him and marcus to have their father and son moment
Well the girls and I decided to get into something fun…archery…
She is on point…
Ready to take over…
I think I got this…lol!!
Hey picture first…target later…
Over all our day was excellent with us having a super challenging but yet fun day…
Malaysia Exploration Continues…
Today our 3rd princess IMAHKUS celebrated her 11th birthday…so I decided to focus all my energy on her…and she absolutely loved it with all the smiles on her face.
We spent the whole day from 10am till 9pm at 1 Utama mall which is one of the top 10 largest malls in the world. We only did 1 wing of the mall could not tackle all…lol…
Here are some pictures of our day
That’s our first pose
Sibling moment…miss our Karama…then it will surly be complete…
I gave her RM 50 to spend…
Lunch at TGIF and she loved her chicken burger
We are ready to break the code avatar style…
She was so happy to be clebrated today…
And that’s who she used her birthday cash for..
Well my oldest decided to on this old fashion swimsuit…lol!!!
Over all our day was magnificent celebrating our princess in style…she did not want a cake…That’s how we train them growing up…just have fun and clebrate without a cake if you don’t want too…
Thanks to all the birthday wishes she loved them all..

So my kids lately have been drawing and with smiles on their faces they will complete a drawing then go right back into drawing another one. Not sure why this type of drawing but I am starting to believe with our travels it has sparked that kind of artistic side of them.
Without looking on anything they all seem to be drawing the same kind of pictures.
For the past year we have travel through some great countries and have made great friends.
So of the countries we visited are
South africa – cape Town and Joburg
Kenya -Nairobi and mombasa
Bangkok- Thailand
Phillippines – makati and Manila
Malaysia – Kuala Lumpur
I think their inspiration comes from this different places…Remember we are all ONE
Enjoy
Aasha my 12yr old work
Aasha’s work
More of Aasha’s work
IMAHKUS my 10yr old work

Today we decided to get out and explore the story behind malaysia…wish I could share all that I learned on here. But we will only do some photos and also if I can remember what I was told I will add that.
We started the journey back at the ministry of tourism of malaysia. They have a 5 min walk through mesuem.
At this place we get to see the rainforest of some parts of malaysia. Also got to find out there are 2 malaysia’s (they are both called malaysia but when you ask the locals they say the other malaysia.) And that malaysia has its own laws and immigration system. Not sure what caused the division.
At that mesuem we saw the old clothing and how they live. Which is pretty much like most humans….we are all ONE…
After we went to the Galeri of Kuala Lumpur and we took what they call Tram ( I hope I got the spelling and name correct)…
That tour around the city cost us $0.50 per person and it’s for 1 hour.
We drove to the monument where they have the soldier statue…pretty huge.
Great to have this moments with the soul you truly want to be with…
My camera man was just awesome
We are family
This thing is huge…
Walking through history…
In our ride time to take our tour
This fountain is been here before malaysia gained independence…that mean way before Saturday August 31st 1957…
All the prime ministers and the current one on the right…his name is Datuk Series Najib Tun Razak….
A beautiful day to tour…
He is one cool husband and father
Beautiful buildings in malaysia
Some of the items used in the old days
Family all the way
Great way to tour the city through the ministry of tourism
Overall Malaysia is becoming one of our top countries….just have to get the Haze out of our way…
