Sometimes all a person needs is one chance, a chance to gain the confidence that comes with achievement. For people with intellectual disabilities, Special Olympics holds dear to their hearts as this is a place they find success, joy and friendship through sports. Heart-touching stories documenting positive transformations of intellectual disabled children have inspired two caring companies, Procter & Gamble (P&G) and Tesco to launch a fund-raising campaign for the non-profit organisation today. The goal [...]

Just like majority of other bloggers out there, one of my routine is to hop into other blogger’s blog, read and leave comments. Yeah, I know many out there who skipped the reading part and goes straight to comment just to leave their footprint. It is obvious in food post where we painstakingly wrote about how bad the food was even though they looked good in pictures and you see comments such as, “DELISH! MUST [...]

We have a long weekend to enjoy this time around, haven’t we? 4 days of continuous break! I wanted to balik kampung but due to the several open houses that we are supposed to attend, we had to stay back in KL. Nevermind-lah, at least I can slave over catch up with housework and spend quality time with family @_@ Today Darling woke up and asked us if we want to go up Genting. Ethan [...]

Valentine’s Day is around the corner. We did a heart mobile again but this time our heart is puffier! Valentine’s Puffy Heart Referring to our post here, cut a heart out of hard construction paper to be used as the template. Let the kids trace the outline of the heart on white hard construction paper. Cut the heart out. Paint the heart red on both sides and let dry. Punch a hole. Here’s the fun [...]

We first fell in love with The Mix, Holiday Inn Kuala Lumpur Glenmarie back in Oct 2011 when we celebrated our Wedding Anniversary there. We love the ambiance, the food, the people… The Mix will be serving Valentine’s day special menu this year. For those of you in the dark, Valentine’s day falls on the 14th February this year. In fact, it falls on the 14th of February EVERY year so don’t tell me you [...]

From Xmas to CNY and now into Valentine’s Day. The clock seems to be ticking so quickly. Valentine’s Day falls on the 14th February every year but it has always been a habit of Darling and I to celebrate it earlier as food is ridiculously expensive on that day itself. This year we did something different. Since we’ve been pigging out since Christmas, we decided to do something else besides eating. We decided to go [...]

It’s officially the year of the Dragon now. I welcomed it in my sleep! For the very first time in ages, I actually went to bed before midnite without even trying to stay awake to usher the Dragon… For the very first time this year too we tossed REAL yee sang at home! For the past years we have been tossing yee sang at home without the YEE but this year my SIL bought the [...]

Do you write names on the back of Ang Pows for those special people in your life? I do. I mean I used to but this year, not anymore for today, we personalized our Ang Pow packets Personalised Ang Pow packet First, you’ll need to choose a picture of the person you are giving the Ang Pow to. This is easily done by stalking their Facebook account I helped Ethan to get the pictures of [...]

Woke up this morning. Went to FB and WhatsApp at the same time and was told that Ethan and I are in the papers today! First thing came to mind was, “What did WE do?” Switched on my PC to see Angi tagging me in FB with the snapshot of us A photographer asked for Ethan and my name during one of the Chinese New Year lunch reviews so this is the outcome (^_^) Quickly [...]

Rarely do I write a random post but today is the day when rarity comes in full force. 1) I held all my classes yesterday so that today I’ll be free to go shopping for clothes as I’ve got NOTHING as yet BUT because I was annoyed with Darling this morning, I scrapped the idea of shopping altogether and ended up at home the entire day. Stupidity on my part, I know. One day wasted on [...]

Today we are going to make something extremely EASY. It’s so EASY you can even do it in your sleep Ang Pow Fish you can stick on your walls, windows and every where. I printed the fish template from here. 1) For the body, you’ll need to cut open an Ang Pow packet and trace the shape from template. 2) For the tail, do not cut open the Ang Pow. Trace the shape on the Ang [...]

Every Chinese New Year, we will be awaken by the loud Dong Dong Chiang on TV. My Dad will deliberately blast the TV so loud just to annoy us. He is always the early bird where else we always sleep in as we only go to bed at 3am the earliest during CNY. It has been a ritual of his to blast the TV by 10am if we are still not awake. You’ll never be [...]

The replica stands erect at 50.46 ft and holds 398,998 exquisite blooming blossoms. It is dubbed the Biggest Blossom Tree Replica by the Malaysia Book of Records. Not only that, their lantern is also bigger than life! Gigantic I tell you! If you are looking for ideas to make your own Ang Pow lanterns [...]

If you are looking for a mall to go this weekend, you may want to consider Sunway Pyramid for they too have quite an amazing Dragon. If Ethan was not afraid of Pavilion’s Dragon (though I was), he is afraid of THIS Dragon! The Dragon is really something for this is the only dragon we’ve seen (so far) that is actually going vertical. Ethan is afraid as he said the Dragon can climb up real [...]

The Dragon hunt brought us to Pavilion KL today. Actually I don’t know how we ended up in Pavilion. One moment we were in Eastin Hotel then Ethan and I fell asleep in the car and when we woke up we were already in Pavilion! Superb! The 600 ft long Majestic Dragon at Pavilion KL. Having just woken up from our nap, Ethan and I walked around Pavilion while Darling went somewhere else to meet [...]

In my quest to find the best Chinese New Year decor in malls around the Klang Valley, never did I expect to find a gem at Sunway Giza Mall. They were nothing extra-ordinary during Christmas so when I paid them a visit today, I did not even bring my camera along. But to my surprise, Giza Mall has the most amazing decor I’ve ever encountered as they have this: *The photos you are about to [...]

This Dragon year, the restaurant is offering a choice of four [...]
