The musical way…
There is a ‘chicken expert’ in town whose expertise is not only in cooking up finger licking good chicken, but also good in keeping children occupied. It has been a while since I last licked my fingers at this place, but last weekend, we deliberately had our dinner there for the sake of something nice. Something musical. The musical coin box. The coin box costs us RM8.90. The only disadvantage is, it is made of […]

When I Grow Up
When I grow up, I wanna be.. A teacher (so many holidays in a year!) Or maybe an artist (just scribble scribble can earn money-liao) An acrobat will be nice.. (I can travel the world with the troops) A footballer (What easier way to get rich and famous with nice chicks tagging along? :P) A climber (I like to see things from up above) A marine biologist (I like looking for mermaids at night!) If […]

Reading Sentences @ 20 mths old
Ethan has finally started to read sentences. It was quite tricky getting him to focus one word at a time and proceed to the next word and on and on. Initially he was overwhelm with all the words in a sentence that he just look at them and kept quiet! But now, he finally understood what reading sentences means and is slowly getting used to the concept. The whole-word approach is based on research findings […]

3 on 1
Yes, you read it right. 3 on 1, not 3 in 1. ??? Was in the kitchen. Suddenly so quiet in the living room. Whenever I left Darling and Ethan together, they will definitely be very very noisy, running and chasing after each other, laughing and screaming their lungs out. But this time, suddenly everything went so quiet. It always creeps me out when I don’t hear anything from them. Call me paranoia or anything, […]

Night Glow – 1st Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2009
When we got home after the DAY event in Putrajaya in the afternoon, (read about it here) we never thought that we will be there again later in the evening. Only when we arrived home did Darling realised that they have an event called Night Glow later at 8.30pm. So we took our nap and in the evening, went all the way back to Putrajaya. For us, today was our first time stepping foot in […]

What went into our stomach today
I’m not someone who will flip through a recipe book to prepare today’s menu. I just follow my instinct and see what is in the refrigerator. I improvise. I experiment. The result I can confidently tell you… not too good most of the time! Why? Because I make it a point to only spend an hour, not a minute extra in the kitchen to prepare a complete set of meal! A minute extra and Ethan […]

Sleep talking
Daddy Daddy,Daddy Daddy,Hello Daddy,I Love You. Mummy Mummy,Mummy Mummy,Hello Mummy,I Love You. That was the 2 verses of Disney’s Magic English Volume 1 song. Ethan loves that song so much, he is trying to memorise it by heart. Everywhere he goes, he’ll be singing IT. Here is HIS version though.. Daddy Daddy,Daddy… Two Daddy….Two Two Daddy…Hello Daddy… He can actually visualise there are two Daddy words in each line! But somehow his lyrics got all […]

Are you faster than the Stars?
Are you faster than the Stars? If you want to know, head down to 1 Utama new wing today. You can try the ‘I dunno what they call them’, but it’s a place where you can try kicking the ball into the goal and see how fast is the speed of the ball! We were there yesterday and Ethan was quietly sitting in his stroller when he saw some adults and kids checking out their […]

10am
I woke up at 10am this morning! Yes, you read me right, 10am!!! I have not had the luxury to sleep in so late since the arrival of Ethan. But today, thanx to my ‘malfunction’ alarm clock, we all slept till 10am! FYI, I have not been using real time alarm clock since Ethan was like.. 4 months old? He flung the clock so far that it hit the wall and smashed! (the clock I […]

AM I Cute?
I got a surprise in my email today. I got this file ‘AM I Cute?’ That was what Tim decided to name Ethan’s album and he processed it so much sooner than what he had originally promised. So very happy for that.. Thanx a million Tim! Here are a few of my favourites… That bandana doesn’t stay for more than a second on him!Time to replenish lost fluid… I like this… he is looking straight […]

Wheels on walls or anything vertical..
Ethan has come to that stage where he will drag almost anything especially his toy cars onto the wall, mirror, chairs, doors or anything vertical. This new found habit of his is driving me up the wall! Why? Because sometimes his toy cars will leave some unsightly streak marks on the wall or anything that he dragged the car onto. The worst part? He knows that by doing this, he is driving Mommy crazy and […]

The Making Of…
Friday evening, got a call from photographer Tim. He called for a photo shoot for Ethan scheduled for the very next day at 5.30pm. Aiks, so very the last minute! No time to go shop for new clothes! Tim told me to bring some change of clothes for Ethan ie cute, casual, formal and some props too. I had just cut Ethan’s hair the day before so some regrets there… Anyway, the supposed to be […]

Origami Rabbit
Since my previous post, I was reminded of what I used to do before I got Ethan. One of which is origami. I had the opportunity to learn origami during my teaching days. Origami is the art of paper folding. I have forgotten about 60% of what I’ve learnt (what a waste!). But I still have the notes and will go through it once I have the time. But for now, I still remember how […]

Earth Hour
What is the most important day of your life? Birthdays? Anniversaries? When? This year, the most important day of MY life falls on March 28. Why?

Iconic landmarks in Malaysia such as the Kuala Lumpur Tower, Angkasapuri, Sunway Pyramid and Mid Valley Megamall has pledged their support. Where? With […]

Roselle
Was back in my hometown (Malacca) over the weekend. Saw some roselle flowers on the table. Quickly pestered my mum to teach me how to prepare the deliciously refreshing drink. Turned out to be easy peasy. First, I removed the petals from the seeds. Then, I washed them under running water. Next, I placed them into a pot, add some water and boiled it until the water turned red. You can add a little sugar […]

Bending the rules..
To those with a Facebook account, you’ll know that there is this tag “25 useless facts about me” going on for a while now. Finally, it landed on my page, courtesy of my cuzs Sherlene. Thanx Sherlene, if not for you, I’ll still only be reading about it and not have the chance to do this. :) Being the rebel that I am, I’ve decided NOT to do the tag on Facebook but to do […]
