Christmas @ The Curve

Damn I’m so ANGRY!

Warning. This won’t be my usual happy post. This post contains lots of anger… Somebody just called us STINGY. As far as I’m concern, we ARE thrifty but NEVER stingy! So what if we don’t splurge on expensive food? So what if we frequent hawker stalls instead of dining in posh establishment? Have we ever borrowed your money to survive? NO! So what if we go for holiday excursions all around the world? We use […]

ParenThots Family Day

Alrite peeps, by now it’s all over and done. Phew! The initial rain in the morning did not deter us. By nine, it’s all sunny again and we are ready to welcome the visitors :) We were one of the first to arrive on location (7.45am). The first thing I saw was the Crafty Crafted sign there and at once I knew that is the place allocated for me. Without wasting time, we began ‘decorating‘ […]

Ethan got scratched

The first thing Ethan did when he saw Grandpa at the gate was to ask Grandpa to bring him to the playground. My mom wanted to change into her shorts so I let my Dad bring Ethan to the playground without me. As my Mom and I were about to walk to the playground, I saw my Dad walking back home. At once I knew something must be wrong. When I looked at Ethan, I […]

Can’t wait..

My parents are coming today and will be staying at my place until Sunday. Ethan got all excited and kept on saying “Grandpa, Grandma, Che-Cheh Hazel and Che-Cheh Mabel coming”. As I have not receive any guest at my place for such a long time, I needed to prep up the two guest rooms big time before their arrival. And of all time, my washing machine decides to fail me NOW! See how busy he […]

Ethan so love his Mickey visor, he let me put it on him until late evening when Darling joined us! Useful informationEthan did well in this game and got a little pressie. He was so proud of his little pressie that he refused to let me […]

Pig out session

Okay, after two posts on our stay in Marriott, let me reveal the main reason we went there – to PIG out BIG time. Irene (or Kel) got a special promo for us that includes a night stay, dinner, breakfast and hi-tea! Imagine that scenario, eating, eating and eat some more! So the food in Marriott is nothing to shout about. I mean, it’s not like they have some trademark dish that’ll go “Eh, you […]

Splashing Good Time

During our stay in Marriott, the highlight for the kids should be on the second day; in the pool. Since I arrived there late on the first day, we’ve missed out on splashing then. So on the second day, right after breakfast, to the pool we went! Nice pool The adults had to get into the pool to ‘jaga‘ the kids. ‘The adults’ are Kel and I as Irene and Darling decided to ‘sunbathe’ by […]

Putrajaya Marriott Hotel Weekend Getaway

21 November 2009. We went for a weekend getaway in Putrajaya Marriott Hotel with Irene, Kelwin and lil’ missy Krys. Irene, Krys and Kel It started a little bit shaky on my side. Irene arrived safely at the hotel by 2pm I think. I was still at home waiting for Darling as he had some errants to run earlier. By the time we arrived, it was already after 6pm. Upon checking in, this was what […]

SEGi University College

Benjamin Franklin once said, “The doors of wisdom are never shut”. Really? Really… :) One of the ‘perks’ of Darling’s job is going around campus in Klang Valley. Well, it has never been a ‘perk to him~lah‘, at least not until today, as Ethan and I tagged along (due to boredom at home). Ethan enjoyed himself touring the campus. :) All smiles as he is about to enter the premise. This is how I knew […]

Lunch date

Was crafting with Ethan when I received a call from Cynthia inviting me out for lunch. So nice! Something to take my mind off crafting for a little while. Been too engrossed with the demo preparation until turning into a zombie. A quick time out is highly appreciated. :) So we went to the same place the last time we went out for lunch together, Shan Western Grill. Last time we forgot to take photos […]

Asparagus bawang belacan

Reading suituapui‘s blog can be really fattening! lol. It is always lavished with good food and I bet he is really a good cook. If a picture speaks a thousand word, his food pictures are screaming telling us to eat them! His one particular post reminds me of the good ol’ days of how I used to have my greens before having Ethan. Cooking with Ethan in mind, I had to omit chilly from the […]

Bear Hug

I must be one of the weirdest woman in the world. I don’t fancy shopping. In our family, Darling does most of the shopping. To me even window shopping is a bore. I might as well declare that I am a bore. :P These days, whenever we go shopping, I’ll just go with the flow as in ‘follow where Ethan goes’. That boy has his Daddy’s genes. He loves shopping and can walk for hours […]

Art & Craft // Blog // Ethan // Event // Family

Getting ready

I browsed through The Star’s newspaper today (11/11/2009). And came across the writeup on ParenThot’s Family Day. Read closer and I saw this… Ok. So my name’s appeared in the newspaper today. Time for tension to kick in! Reality check. Have I done all that are needed to be done for this event? Let’s see…. Ethan has been very cooperative. He gets up in the morning and the first thing he does is to reproduce […]

Christmas gifts ideas

Looking at how busy I am these days, in a blink of an eye it’ll be Christmas already. It’s always nice to look forward to Christmas. But if you are busy as a bee, it might turn out to be a hassle in some ways. Where do I steal some extra time shopping for gifts? That, I know will take days, weeks or worst case scenario.. months! Was ranting about it to a friend the […]

The way he drinks..

Remember I posted about Ethan dancing for my soup? He still loves soup very much {just like mommy}. He won’t be patient enough to take sip by sip of it from the spoon though. When it comes to soup, this is how he likes to have it… Lukewarm and from the straw!

These boots are made for washing…

Was doing a ‘final’ blogging the other day before leaving for my PIL’s place {coz there I can’t go online!} when Darling called out from the car porch. I was like, “What now?” as I knew Ethan was outside with him helping him to wash the car. In my heart, just leave me to blog in peace~lah! :P But I finally dragged my feet to take a look at what’s going on outside and I […]

My new baby

Last week started off a little bit shaky for me. Handphone being sent for repair {still in the ICU now} and the land line being interrupted for a day. But it gradually became better as Darling told me he got me a new PC. Yeay! With that new PC, I’ll need a new workstation as the previous was like so ol’ school. The delivery guy assembling the workstation. Ethan supervising their work. ^_^ Cleaning up […]

Lazybum’s meal

I always find men in the kitchen ‘sexy’. But Darling doesn’t cook. The only time he is in the kitchen is to peel fruits. :P He doesn’t even cook his own instant noodles ok? Pampered to pieces this fella. One day while I was shopping for groceries, I saw this. Instant noodles for the extremely lazy bums! Don’t even need to boil it, just add hot water! Come on.. how lazy can you be? I […]

Don’t Peek!

Quickie: My phone line is fixed. Yee ha! Handphone is still in the ICU. NO Yee ha.. :( But at least I can go online! Yee ha again! :) Being a SAHM, life can be so mundane. Sometimes, I’ll get Darling to drop us at the nearest shopping mall and pick us up again after work. But then again, hours and hours of walking and shopping, what do I do if I need to answer […]

Back being a Flintstone..

I am phone-less! This calls for a cry of S.O.S (Safe Our Submerryn!)My handphone suddenly died on me. Since it’s just about a year old, it is still under the warranty period. So I had to get it fixed instead of jumping to a new phone, preferably an iPhone 3Gs like Irene’s. Getting my ‘Samseng’ (as a friend fondly referred it as) phone fix will take roughly about a fortnight. Oh please let me survive […]

Neighbourhood

Weekend is the time when I can ‘manja‘ a little bit and eat out. When I eat out, I usually frequent this ‘Neighbourhood’. It is located in Dataran Sunway, just ten minutes drive away from IKEA and 1Utama. You can either choose to dine in the air-conditioned area or the open area. Basically if you are a smoker, go for the open area~lah. Better still, don’t smoke! Opens 24/7. High speed broadband available too. Darling’s […]
