A La Pointe Ballet Academy

We enrolled our two daughters at A La Point Ballet Academy when my older daughter started to show great interest in ballet. A friend of mine told me about the class and we went to check it out when we were offered a trial class. The teacher seemed quite friendly and all the little girls were getting along well with her. My two girls were a bit shy at first but seemed to get along well with the others in a short while. At the first class they had great fun and felt 45 minutes was too short :) They have been going for a little over a month and eagerly look forward to the weekend so that they can go for the ballet class.

Pediatricians in Penang

Living in Penang with 3 young children we often have to make visits to the doctors. The most common cause having to get vaccinated. Since my elder 2 daughters had some of their vaccines in our home country which had a different schedule compared to the one followed in Malaysia we had to make sure we were getting the right vaccine at the right time. After a few calls we decided that Hope Children's Hospital was our best bet and is just a stones throw away from where we are. Its a nice little place that any child would love to go to, of course before they realize they are there for a vaccine :) There is a little play area and lovely fish pond that can keep any child happy.

For the past few years we have been seeing the same doctor at Hope, he was quite friendly. Few weeks ago the elder 2 had to get a vaccine again, now that they are bigger it is a bit more difficult to get them to the clinic. But this time they didn't know that they were going for a vaccine, and the regular doctor was not available! The doctor who we met this time was very friendly, and believe it or not my 2 girls didn't even know they got a vaccine until we told them! The doctor gave them a vitamin and asked them to chew it and while talking to them he gave them the vaccine. We were very satisfied with how things turned out. Thank you Dr Chew.

The beginning....

Our new life in Penang started 3 years ago when my husband was offered a job here. We were excited and anxious at the same time, but our 3 and 1 year old daughters took our minds off by keeping us busy and entertained throughout the journey leaving no time for worry.

I loved Penang from the moment we stepped out. The climate, the people, the greenery and the food so far were really nice. The kids were thrilled when they saw the many playgrounds in our condo, we were very happy too with the choice of apartment. We settled in very fast. Finding food is very easy here as there are many different types of food and restaurants to choose from. Penang is known to be a food heaven for the variety of food it has to offer.

The locals were very helpful in helping us settle down by recommending the best places for food, groceries, entertainment and everything we needed to know. Though we had a bit of a communication problem occasionally we eventually learned to overcome this.
