This is the way I brush my teeth..
I am introducing toothpaste to Ethan. All this while, he has been brushing without it. But before I let him brush with toothpaste, I need to teach him to spit it out first. Let’s see how he fares… Ethan @ 2 years 2 mths

Mirror Image
One of the advantages of having a kid is that you can dress him/her up the way you want and they’ll never protest. (At least not yet; not at such a tender age.) The fact that I have a SON means that I can’t dress him to look like ME! So, what can I do? I dress BOTH my men so that they’ll look alike. No protest from the big one, the small one, ever […]

Zoo Negara, KL
Since Ethan enjoyed the Bird Park trip so much, we thought why not bring him to the zoo too? It will be so much more fun as he will get to see many types of animals. So to the zoo we went…Ticket price is RM15 per adult. As we entered, we were greeted by monkeys.. monkeys and more monkeys! I was like, what? monkeys again? And let me tell you, they don’t smell […]

Fireman
Darling’s friend from Penang dropped by for a visit last night. We went to the Curve and had dinner @ Fireman. Just for the fun of it, taking Ethan’s height. Kids below a certain height get to eat for free. Gave him the menu. We took the buffet package so we got to choose anything we wanted from the menu. But all this kid wanted was… RICE! My koala bear. I like his ‘body language’ […]

Night-market trader..
For years I’ve not been able to go to my favourite night market in SS2, PJ. Why? Because it is held every Monday, a work day. Since I don’t drive, I depend solely on my driver (Darling) to bring me there. But if it’s a working day, it will be almost impossible to get him to drive me there. Since last Monday was a festive holiday, I took that golden opportunity to get Darling to […]

Of Birds and NOT bees..
The long weekend… Being good citizens, Darling and I decided to make the road less crowded by NOT going back to our hometown. We decided to stay put in the Klang Valley instead. So what to do instead of the usual shopping? We went to KL Bird Park – The World’s LARGEST free-flight walk-in aviary. We got the tickets earlier during MATTA fair so our tickets are priced at RM10 per adult when the usual […]

Yummy Octopus?
I’m crazy over seafood these days. First the garlic fish, now, octopus? Well, I’m no expert in octopus. But she is! Take a look here for an octopus treat.

Fish is delicious
Ethan loves eating fish. I love eating fish. On a rushed day, all I need to do is to fry the fish, fry lots of garlic, toss it on the fish with some soya sauce and it’s all ready to be serve. So simple. Ethan loves his fish that way, mind you! Just watch this video. To him, my fish is DELICIOUS! :) Ethan @ 2 years 1 month

I miss this fella…
Before I got Ethan, I carried a handbag occasionally. I don’t really like to carry a handbag though. But was forced too. Otherwise, where to put the lipstick, powder and all the vanity stuffs back then? Those were the days when I was a ‘little’ vain~lah! Then, when I was in Bruxelles in 2006, I came across this CUTIE! I fell in love with it at first sight! I know I just HAD to have […]

Filter it, boil it. Add in whatever she needs to add.Leave it for about an hour.And what I do on MY part is… to help eat it! Yummy.. super smooth tau foo fah! P/S: This must be the worst […]

Sushi Aid
Ethan and I really love sushi. We can’t afford to dine out each time we want some sushi so I really need to ‘master’ the art of making sushi. Try as I might, I still can’t get my sushi to be cutely rolled. It will always end up weird. Then that day I was in a 100 yen shop, I found this gadget. Immediately I grabbed it. The very next morning, I tried making sushi […]

The Mask
We wanted to go to the MATTA fair last weekend. Knowing how crowded the place would be, Darling bought some face masks for us, Ethan inclusive. But Ethan refused to wear his mask. He’ll cover his mouth with his hands and pull it off if I forced it onto him. So I thought, why not make the mask cuter? Maybe he’ll like it then. So I sew a smiley face on the mask. Ethan was […]

Ethan’s celebrity look-alike # 1
When I see Ethan in this photo, it somehow reminds me of this famous singer…V V V V V V V V V Picture courtesy of the world wide web Why? I don’t know. (Maybe simply because they BOTH have nice smiles…?! ^^) Anyway, THIS way is better… ;P

Hari Raya in 1Utama
If you missed your ‘kampung’ already, 1U is the place to go. So nice the settings this year. I find it very pleasant and very comfy. Real village style. You’ll feel like you are in some fishing village.With real sand and real sea shells… NICE! Selling all sorts of handicrafts. All these are made from coconut shells. Nice food sold in sampans. And.. the little rascal. Can never resist a stage. Whenever there’s a stage, […]

When the EYE is BROKEN!
I was toying with my camera and Ethan was ‘talking‘ to Grandma through his toy phone. Suddenly, he accidentally knocked his eye with the phone and shouted, “Mummy, Ethan’s eye broken dy!” I checked, no, it was not BROKEN… but he kept going on and on and on that it is broken.. :P What do we do when our child’s eye gets ‘broken’? @@ Ethan @ 2 years 1 month

Never ever cook when you are unhappy..
because, your dish might disagree with you too. This morning, I thought I may sulk the whole day today. Went to the kitchen to cook as usual. Look what happen to my fish! VVVVVVVVV Just look at the poor fella. All curled up like that! When I called Darling into the kitchen to look, both of us had the greatest laugh ever. There goes my sulking and here I am, happy again! :)

We are FAMILY
What better way to spend the long weekend break than being with close family members? We went to my cousin Kym’s place on Sunday as my mother, sisters, nieces, aunt, uncle and cousins were there and had a great time. It was also Ethan’s first time with the Nintendo Wii but I didn’t get the opportunity to capture his action as I was too engrosed eating mata kucing. In the evening, we went to the […]
