Being pregnant is one of life’s miracles. We ladies get to experience this wonderful journey while the guys can just watch in envy :P However, what is not to envy is the appearance of stretch marks in some women during pregnancy. While some mothers take it as a blessing; treating stretch marks as a token to cherish her pregnancy, I would do all I can to prevent it. What causes stretch marks? Imagine your skin […]

The weather has been hot like crazy these days so I thought of boiling my favourite bitter gourd soup over the weekend to cool us down. I’ve never boiled this before I tell you though I’ve had it outside countless times. How hard can it be? It’s just like boiling any other soup but instead of using old cucumber or anything else, we use bitter gourd. No? –  pork ribs –  bitter gourd 苦瓜 (rub […]

We ladies face a lifetime dilemma of using the public toilet. Unlike guys who can just urinate at the urinal and leave, we ladies have so much to battle before even able to ease ourselves. QUEUE Ladies seriously take more time in the loo. From the moment we stepped into the cubicle, you’ll be amazed at how much WORK we do before we can even pee! Forget about doing big business in the public toilet, […]

You know right that I’m fehmes? *cue to massively vomit blood now* :P We appeared in the newspaper several times before and I treasure them like those are the most valuable thing in the world to me. *jakun* I framed them up and hung it where people can see it. Unfortunately I noticed that after some time, those newspaper cuttings tend to turn yellow. The other day, while printing some worksheets for Ethan, I thought of […]

My life is rather a mundane routine. Every night before I go to bed, I’ll switch off the electric water dispenser and unplug it from the socket. But I ALWAYS leave the other end attached to the dispenser. When I was unwell, Darling helped me to switch off the dispenser. The next morning as usual, I pour out the cooled water and boil a fresh batch of water. I was still unwell so Darling had […]

If you don’t see me dropping by your blogs, that’s because of this.. And this.. All we did the entire day is this.. As the saying goes, ‘When it rains, it pours’. I’m hoping to get out of this real soon before our heads grow flat from too much sleeping -.- By the way, this is my first time updating blog from the iPhone! Jakun! :D

Sometimes we see an advert so powerful that it made you think it works.. no matter what! And then… Real life situation comes in. We go to the playground like almost everyday. Ethan loves his sand play time and I love brisk walking nearby. But one problem is, when you walk on those red soil, it tends to get into your shoes and ended up staining your socks. I have to wash it everyday but […]

Was with Darling in Sunway Giza recently when he suddenly stopped and exclaimed, “Whoa! I wanna marry HER!” Darling wants to marry that thing! Me: You DARE say?!! Darling: Abuden? I thought we very friend-friend dy I say what I think lor… Me: You dare SAY?!! Darling: Ok-lor. I marry YOU lor but let’s take HER to be your BREASTMAID… I mean BRIDESMAID!! Me: Argh!!!! >_<

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 :D A photographer asked for Ethan and my name during one of the Chinese New Year lunch reviews so this is the outcome (^_^) […]

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 […]

1 January 2012 had been awesome. We met up with Darling’s friends and went for Steamboat at Ho Ho Steamboat, Kota Damansara. One of Darling’s friend suffered a burn on his wrist after my hot spoon accidentally touched his hand while he was trying to scoop out some noodles and his reflex caused the soup to splash all over his wrist :( He remembered reading something about treating burns using egg white so we did […]

This Christmas was a GREAT one as I was with my family! We made our way back to my hometown in Malacca on Saturday only to be caught in a horrible jam that took us almost 5 hours to arrive our destination that usually takes only about 2 hours on ordinary days! I arrived just in time to see this: My sis and her two daughters already BBQ-ing.. NICE! That only means that FOOD is […]

LoL! I was playing Hide n Seek with Ethan today when it was HIS turn to HIDE. After saying, “Ready or not, here I come!” I went around the house only to see THIS! Hahahahaha! It’s exactly like the fiction ‘Why Ostriches Bury Their Heads in Sand’! Just because he can’t see me, he thinks I can’t see him too? Muahahahhahaha… too cute this boy!

Was talking to Ethan last night before we slept. Told him that one day he’ll grow up, find a job of his own. Get a wife and have cute little babies with her. He looked at me with the most horrified look on his face and said, “Will I still be staying with U?” I said, “Most probably not as you’ll want to be with your wife then.. “ He said, “Then I don’t wanna […]

Darling got me something today. At RM31.90 each I’d be angry too! But okay lagi lah as the quality is much better than those pasar malam ones. Anyway, since he has the heart to get me that, I’d better give him some face and wear it for the world to see. So ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, here’s presenting…. my pair of very ANGRY BOOBS! >_< He definitely ain’t getting any of those boobs today! Take a hint Darling, lingerie dear, LINGERIE! […]

I’m so HAPPY! I finally found a pair of open toe pumps that comes in size 3, MY size! Yeay! The hobbit can HAS shooooooe! That is the result of being out of the house the ENTIRE day! I went out in the morning to send Ethan to class and shopped around Giza for shoes but nothing suits me. Went to 1U with Ethan after his class and after hours and hours of wandering around […]

GERAM! No matter what I do, nasal spray kah, multi-vitamin kah, Clarinase kah, hot drinks kah, sexercise and lots of bedminton kah… I’m still sniffling! *the last part was just to test you if you are really paying attention and reading my post instead of just browsing through it and dropping comments* :P As long as there is a change of temperature; from the comfort and warmth of my house to the air-conditioned car – I’ll […]

This is the continuation to our amazing 6th Anniversary Getaway courtesy of Holiday Inn Kuala Lumpur Glenmarie. After enjoying the awesome room and splendid time splashing in the beautiful pool we got rather hungry. We hurried back to our room for a quick shower before heading to The Mix for our dinner.

So what if Justin Bieber has a street in Texas renamed after him just because an 11 year old girl became Mayor for a day? I have my own street too and mind you, it is not located at ANY chaplang area but one of the most high-profile residency in Singapore. Merryn Road is located in Bukit Timah Singapore. Bukit Timah is considered the most expensive district in Singapore. Don’t play play. How often do you get […]

1/11/11 is the 1st birthday of VinSen’s first born child, Jerred. We celebrated his birthday at Fullhouse, Sunway Giza. Jerred seems to say, “I’m cute and I know it!” :P The tiger baby is dressed up in a tiger suit (with matching TIGER helium balloons!). CUTE max! Rosella Spaghetti for Ethan Smoothies-Fruities Fish for me :) Grilled Mix Seafood for Darling As usual, watermelon juice for Ethan The guests Ethan and Jerred It’s amazing that […]

I’ve been unwell lately. Last night I slept for a total of 11 hours straight! That is extremely rare I tell you. After tucking Ethan to bed I fell asleep immediately. Darling woke me up to ask if I wanna blog but I just can’t open my eyes and told him, “NO, my head’s too heavy” and continued sleeping until the next day. My throat hurts badly that swallowing saliva oso pain :( I breathe […]

22 October 2011. It’s our 6th Wedding Anniversary today! :D It all started with that ice-skating outing with my colleagues and Darling (then my superior) pretending not knowing how to skate and there I was taking advantage of the situation to hold his hand and skate together :D So I thought he was pretending but now I know he really CAN’T skate! And I thought he was enjoying my flirting with him only to know […]

I kenot cook but I can make wicked sandwiches. They don’t name me Submerryn Sandwich for NOTHING! *okay so they call me the Yellow Submarine and not Submerryn Sandwich, but let’s not talk about that today… :P* Submerryn’s Signature Tuna Sandwich Did I tell you that I love fish? Yeah I know.. like for the millionth’ time :D So easy ni-lah. The Submerryn always use short-cut in her life. To make the famous Submerryn Signature […]

What is the ONE make-up item that you can’t live without? Okay to be fair, EVERYONE needs a good foundation so that won’t count here. Besides foundation, what other make-up item you MUST have in your make-up kit? As for me, other than a good long lasting mascara, I like to dust a hint of blusher or bronzer before going out. I said a HINT of blusher, not painting the entire face RED! o.O I […]

I was at Wacoal Let’s Pink event @ 1Utama today for the launching of its 2011 Pink Ribbon Campaign to promote breast cancer awareness. One of the highlights during the launch is the Let’s Pink catwalk… Okay, so after seeing the models looking so sweet and pretty in pink I started to wonder, how do they DO that? Yeah you know what I mean.. They wear it so good don’t they? So I visited one […]

Last weekend I was back in my in-laws place. My SIL cooked some kind of long bean dish that Ethan loved so much he alone ate almost half of it. Nvm… Then guess what? Darling had to ask Ethan who is the better cook? My SIL or ME? And Ethan answered, “Kuku…” (which also means my SIL-lah). You know who was the happiest then? No prize for guessing.. yeah.. my MIL! It’s no secret I’m […]

I brought Ethan to Smaland, Ikea again yesterday. Yeah, it’s like his playground now. We go there like every other day! *okay for those of you who doesn’t know what is Smaland, read my previous post about it here* Yet until today, I still don’t leave him there and go shopping. I still sit outside and go online from my iPhone. So sometimes when I see him dangling from inside like the picture above, I’ll […]

My professional manicure done at home in under 5 minutes :D As a homemaker and a craftier, I always end up with ugly nails. I can never grow them long enough without chipping. I can never grow them long as they’ll be in the way of my work. So I have to live with ugly nails… @_@ Fake nails I was at a pharmacy today and saw some amazing set of fake nails but they […]

Trying to get over the Tiger Mom episode, let’s look at some happier moments :D Look at how happy the lil’ one is with the BIG one… 1,2,3.. GO!!! Faster Daddy, faster! Weeeeee! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s SUPERMAN! Human mop? :P Smile – A simple act, but sometimes takes a lot of effort. A smile can cause boundaries to melt, hearts to warm up, and distances to reduce… I <3 U

It has been a rough day today. Little events lead to some big explosions.. He’s asleep now and when I reflected on today’s event I felt like an arse. Why was I being so demanding? Let me tell you what happened.. It started with him stringing these beads. So cute isn’t he? There we were, happily stringing. He string one and I string another. We then count how many beads we each have. But unlike […]

Since we were surrounded by cats and dogs over the past few days in my hometown, Ethan has requested to have a pet of his own too. I will definitely NOT agree to having a cat nor a dog at home for I kinda dislike them. Sorry to all cats and dogs lovers out there. I thought of getting him a turtle but… He rather have rats! Of course I won’t agree to getting him […]
