It’s the 2nd day of our trip. We had an early night the night before as everyone was either tired with the travelling or the jet lag. We cooked simple noodle soup the night before and retire early to reserve the energy for more sightseeing today. Today will be shopping day for us. We will be going to the factory outlet here to have our shopping spree. Most of them had simple bread and jam breakfast with coffee while waiting for Mummy and ?? to finish their workout at the gym. Daddy was given the privelege to sleep all he wants as he was the desinated driver for the trip.
We finally left our rooms close to noon for tim sum brunch before beginning our shopping spree. When we finally reached the outlet, it was almost 2. The shopping was quite fruitful and by the time the sun set. Our feet were sored from all the walking. We went back to our apartment and had a simple dinner. It was good to be travelling with so many Mummies as they are professional care takers! Nobody will go hungry…as they could churn out decent meals readily (eerrhh… not this Mummy that is writing the blog though) 
On the 3rd day, Mal and uncle Eddy went to the pool for a morning swim while this time Daddy and ?? workout in the gym. Today we will continue our sightseeing along the strip area. The day began with a sumptuous Japanese buffet lunch at Todai at Aladdin . We visited some hotels and the popular M&M and Coca Cola novelty shops. Dinner was back to the 1st chinese restaurant we ate on our 1st day before proceeding to the asian supermarket to stock up on grocery as we were planning for more cooking in our next destination.
it is a brand new day! Mal is happy to have so much company, all ready to set off with Mal leading the group

having a break with Daddy while the rest continue shopping
on the way to the M&M and Coca Cola shops…can you see the shops just across the road??
morning swim to start the day
this was the hotel we stayed during our 1st visit to Las Vegas…stopping by to take a picture
we were at Aladdin…the place where we had our Jpananese buffet…there was this toy shop with some very livelike puppies and cats moving around. Mal was instantly attracted to them
there was a Thunderstorm show inside Aladdin…where there are lights and sound effect and even rain to simulate a real thunderstorm. Real cool…Mal was however a bit scared as you can see him clinging on to Daddy here…
??, ?? and Mal with the smiley, lying buddha…
?? and ?? with the smiley, lying buddha…
Mummy and Daddy with the smiley, lying buddha…
?? are you salivating yet ???
when will I get my 1st watch?!! Daddy was tempted to get one for him but Mummy think is a bit expensive for this young boy
Hey Mr M&M….we were here before during our last Las Vegas trip but did not take any pics cos we were in a rush.
Mummy and ??….
nowadays it is not easy to get Mal to smile to the camera, maybe he had gotten so sick of Mummy photographing him. So instead of asking him to ‘SMILE!’ we ask him to say ‘ Cheese burgur and French fries’ cos at least his mouth open and if we are lucky…it will turn out to look like a big smile
look at all the M&M behind us!!! So COLOURFUL!!!
they are hard to resist even for adults… not to mention kids!!!
so here is Mal … trying to make his very own bag of M&Ms
some really cool machine to print out souvenir coins…for a while we really thought the machine was capable to churn out souvenir coins from the one we dropped in….think we just too sua koo … cos we during our trip later on…we realised such souvenir coin machines were quite common in places of interest.
with the M&M furry toys…
can you tell where are we here???
it’s the coke shop!
everything on Coca Cola
there was even a bar selling beverages…..what else…but Coca Cola
Mal at Caesars Palace….posing with the roman nude man sculpture

one last glance from our living area…
Hmm..Mummy this is your 3rd time to LV right?
By then, u can start to write a BOOK about your stay in US .. and advise people who wishes to travel or stay there!!!
Hahaha .. another way for you to earn the extra income!!!!!!!
Hmm.. MalMal very good boy .. still can sit in the pram … Joshua does not want … and our fre Reg has carried him every time.
no lah only 2nd time. We use the pram for Mal to sleep. Actually nowadays he also don like to sit pram…and don like to walk! Think all kids the same.
oic .. but at least he can sleep in the pram ….
hey u should really try writing a travel blog (book) …
Organising my NYC trip is so discouraging .. hotel per night if stay good one (for security reasons) will cost me USD290 (without tax) …
yeah thought of that…so that I won’t mix the travel stuff with Mal’s stuff…right? But also scared no time to update 2 diff blogs…very siong.
as for the hotel in NY, have your tried priceline?? Can save up to 50% on hotel rooms u know.
last time i used priceline .. not that friendly .. but will try again …
abt travel blog .. is how u plan the trip etc .. abt the details of your trip .. you can still write in Mal’s blog as it still involves MalMal
