Seems like we're going on a long trip, when in fact it's just 3D2N in Penang! Well it's our first overseas trip with baby so just want to be well equipped.

It's alittle untimely that Ian fell sick on Thursday. The PD says it's bronchitis and asked us to monitor. Earlier this morning we went for a review and the cover PD says there isn't any wheezing, so he's ok to go. But anyway, our trust is in God and we just go with His flow. We trust that everything will be ok and He'll take care of us throughout the trip.

Will review the items when I return!
