You are not seeing double, both kids drew Alvin Chipmunk at Heart Studio 🙂

From a whiteboard, kids choose their desired cartoon, and teachers will draw out the outline. Teacher Erma and Jay (not in photo) are passionate, and kids really enjoy their sessions.

Alvin for him and Alvin for her.

It is not easy to paint Alvin, especially his face. Kids find it tough to apply tones to different part of Chipmunk’s face. Proud of the kids’ achievement, they finished their masterpiece with a lot of encouragement from teachers.

The older kids’ classes stretches over three hours (school holiday specials), giving me a lot of time to browse Heart Studio’s gallery. Stormtrooper looks pretty cool!

Love the drawing of Singapore’s skyline. Never mind if Merlion is at wrong location, Arts is all about expression and creativity.

Round 2 for Boon Kang, “Plants and Zombie”. He wanted Starwars’ Bobafett initially, but my schedule crashed. We slot him into Plant and Zombie workshop 🙂

Boon Kang’s Zombie has fused with a pirate. His Zombie is not scary at all, and he told me his Zombie is one of the higher-ranked Walking Dead (in the game).

I thought the parrot looks very abstract and has a 3D feel.

Of all our kids, Boon Kang is the most creative and patient. The other boys are restless and more into sports. He always look forward to more Heart Studio workshops 🙂

Thank you for the Fun invite, Heart Studio!
Our previous workshops are tag under “heART Studio“.

We found a fireplace in Sabah, at Kinabalu Park Garden Lodge.

Day 4 of our Sabah trip, after our cool Desa Cow farm tour, we drove up 1500m to Kinabalu Park (Kundasang)

Initially, we thought we will be occupying one or two rooms, not the whole bungalow! Kids wasted no time playing hide & seek.

Garden Lodge’s rate is RM3000 per night, what indulgence!

Exclusive lodges, these are the most expensive accommodation at Kinabalu Park (maps available on Amazing Borneo website). Our neighbour Submit Lodge has only one floor, but still retails at RM2000.

The English cottage feel and design, adults just want to relax and chill.

Consisting of two floors, we can choose from two bedrooms and multiple toilets. Every room comes with its own heater, no aircon needed. Temperature will drop to 15 degrees in the evenings.

Spacious Hall, but we found it too quiet in the evening. We can hear distinct cricket symphony performing in the backyard 🙂

Comfort and luxury, we can enjoy both at Garden Lodge. The highlight for the kids must be the fireplace, giving us an advance Christmas feel 🙂

Majestic Mount Kinabalu in the background, we see her on our way to breakfast and dinner.

No one can resist taking selfie wefie with HER as backdrop. Imposing.

Slow 10min walk to our canteen. We really do not mind as the cool weather is between 15 to 20 degrees. Breathe in more fresh air.

Simple buffet spread for your meals, at Balsam.

We visited Mount Kinabalu Botanical Garden too, a 15min walk from our bungalow.

Up close with nature, if the season is correct, you might get to visit the huge Rafflesia too.

We were blessed with good sunny weather throughout our stay in Sabah, even though it was forecasted to rain.
The good weather allows us to fully enjoy day activities in our itinerary 🙂

One of the trails displayed at Balsam, the peak is only 4000m, we can do it :p

I hope to climb Mount Kinabalu with Boon Wee soon, you can review our friend’s fun but tiring episode here.
