OMG, you know how much I’m in love with this sexy, hunky gay and now I know that.. Ethan loves him too! Well.. I hope what Ethan loves is the song~lah! Gosh, watever it is, I melt.. I melt EACH time I listen to this song and watching the music […]

Have you ever… slow dance?
A friend was talking about slow dancing the other day and that got me thinking.. “Hey, I’ve NEVER slow dance in MY life!“ People who knew me back from my college days would know that I was a ‘kaki clubbing‘. My bestie and I would frequent clubs or pubs just for the sake of shaking our booties and letting our hair down. We just loved dancing that much, that’s all. We were never afraid as […]

The Secret Garden, 1 Utama
If you don’t already know, there’s a Secret Garden in my second home. Yes, I’m talking about THE Secret Garden in 1 Utama. Open on weekends only, I never got the chance to pay it a visit as Darling always brushes off the idea fearing that it might be too hot up there. *He knows me is Candle Princess :P* Today, Darling dropped me and Ethan in 1Utama before heading off to somewhere.. The […]

Of Elmo, EyeQ and Daphne Iking
Whoa, today is sure one hectic day for muah! First, I brought Ethan to my second home to catch Elmo and Cookie Monster. We were there half an hour early so we had some time to kill before Elmo comes. Ethan solved the puzzle while waiting… Yee ha! Dapat pun solve! :D Clever boy :P Still got time to kill, so he played football all alone in the huge penalty kick area… Warming up those […]

When the ‘chef’ is down, what’s for dinner? No sweat!

He writes :D
After the HFMD and H1N1 back-to-back episode, I’ve decided to stop Ethan from school – at least temporarily until he is stronger. That also means that I have to stop teaching to be home with him, HORROR! So it’s been more than a month now he is at home with me. We are both bored to the bone :D We will do an art work in the morning and have a craft session in the […]

Why so afraid?
People asked me why in the world am I so afraid to see the Docs? I used to be very brave; heading to the Docs at the slightest sign of illness. I don’t mind getting jabs but hated popping pills. I’ll plead for jabs as long as I don’t have to take any oral medication. So why am I so hesitant this time around? The answer is.. after what we’ve gone through the past couple […]

Quickie Fish
You know I’ve not been feeling well lately right? The throbbing headache just won’t end. I told myself to give it another day and I’ll go see the Doc but… sigh.. I just don’t like seeing Docs :( Anyway, Darling has been super nice to me when I’m down. He’ll go pack lunch and dinner for Ethan and I so that I don’t need to slog in the kitchen. But me being ME (being ever […]

Come on head… don’t do this to ME!
It’s been over a week my head is pounding like mad. The throbbing feeling in my brain that runs around my head is driving me crazy. I’ve been popping Panadol actifast like it’s my vitamin supplements but nothing works anymore… Scared to go see the Doc. What if he said all the sushi have produce worms in my brain? What if he tells me there are worms eating my brain away? Gosh… I’m going crazy! […]

Toe caught in the escalator @ 1 Utama – 19/6/2010
1 Utama, New Wing Centre Court (19/6/2010) At approximately 3.40pm we heard a kid wailing from the escalator. I dashed to the 1st level of the escalator to see what was going on. The scene I saw was a very devastating one. A boy’s toe was caught in the descending escalator. They had just stopped the escalator when I arrived. The father was hugging him tight trying to pacify the boy but we could see […]

Merryn can cook :P
Yeah, I am impressed :P I can cook :D And I’m talking about meat here, not vegetables :P But before my head gets any bigger, let me tell you one thing. This is the ONLY way I know how to fry chicken. What I normally do when Darling brings home those chicken is to clean them up and season them with pepper and light soya sauce. I’ll then keep them in a container and freeze […]

Fun time with egg carton

Celebrating 3 Fathers
When I was back in Malacca last weekend, all the ladies went for the SUKMA opening ceremony leaving the men behind to fend for themselves :D Since Father’s Day is just around the corner, Darling and I decided to bring them out for dinner. One of them had prior appointment so he could not join us. We walked to the new Restoran Cheng Maju as it is just a stone’s throw away. If you know […]

Well, I managed to persuade Darling to bring me back to Melaka that weekend and I arrived just a couple of hours before the bus came to take them to the Hang Jebat Stadium.

Where’s your husband now?
It’s that time of the year again where all the ladies will be hogging the shopping mall ALONE! Why? Because the dudes will have their butts glued to the idiot box until the 11th July 2010. Thank goodness for ME, my Darling is no football kaki. But come to think of it.. ^_^ Back in 1998 when Darling and I were colleagues, we both pretended that we were some kind of a football fan. We […]

Carrots for the eyes
No matter how many carrots you take, if you watch television at such a distance, you’ll definitely go ‘blind’ at some point of your life. We may be lucky to be born at the time when vision correction surgery are highly available. USAEyes and USAEyes.org are some of the prominent names in eye surgery. I’ve been blogging about eye care and Lasik for so many times now and am hinting out loud to representatives out […]

I’ve never seen so many balls on the ceiling in my life :P What’s so great about 1Utama during the school holidays? Let’s see, they have Gladiator Challenge in that inflatable rink […]

Freak Accident at Lutong Traffic Light Junction

One-tonne noodles
I have a friend who refers to Wanton Noodles as One-tonne noodles. We always joke that having ‘one-tonne’ noodles is such a heavy meal :D In the area where I live, the wanton noodles come in many colours – green, black and yellow. Or is this the norm every where else? The green noodles with clear sauce- usually MY choice The noodles with black sauce – usually Darling’s choice Combination of black and green noodles […]

My ONE chance being treated like a princess for a day…

But since Caroline is getting married… (just kidding, she’s NOT!) and said she wanted to see it, so… Caroline, this is for you :) A bit outdated as it was done like… in 2005? Can’t even remember WHEN I got married! Has it been THAT long? Gosh.. :P Guys won’t understand, but EVERY girl starts planning her wedding at the […]

Remember that time I blogged about seeing a diver on the ceiling in Tropicana Medical Centre and thought that my eyes are playing tricks on me? I thought I have to go for an eye check at Stahl Eye Center. And then somebody asked me if there are fishes too? Yes, there are fishes there. Plenty of them and beautiful too :D Fishes on the ceiling – awesome! Fish and turtles on doors too – […]

What colour are you?
Darling went to visit my craft Studio a while ago and saw some workers painting the corner unit. He took the opportunity to ask them if they can paint our Studio as well since they already have all the equipment there. You know how expensive it is to rent those things – the water pressure to wash the wall and the ‘ladder’ to bring them up to the first floor for painting? At least now […]

If you don’t drive, SHUT UP!
Bananaz’s latest post reminded me of my trip to Penang late last year. He wrote about a flyover in Penang near to Lam Wah Ee hospital. What’s so special about that flyover? That flyover is nicknamed ‘gostan flyover’ because its a single lane flyover and only one car can go through it and in case of any accident or car breakdown, all those cars behind will have to ‘gostan’ hence the nickname. If you want […]

Kedai Kopi Khoong, Sea Park
PJ folks will definitely know this place. Located at the corner of junction Jalan 21/19 and Jalan 21/22 Sea Park, it has been there for ages!

My first impression? Err.. can’t remember :P But people kept telling me […]

The purpose of that luncheon :D
I once told Nuffnang that my mom taught me to save my spare change in a piggy bank. I’m all grown up now and my little piggy has turned into roast pork! I don’t want to be doing the same with Ethan and watch him turn his little piggy into char siew in the future! Nuffnang then collaborated with Fundsupermart.com and invited several bloggers to a luncheon @ The Apartment, the Curve, Mutiara Damansara. ************ […]
