Mushrooms for Smurfs :D
While everyone is in the Transformer’s craze, I dreamt of Smurfs last night! Dunno what made me have that blue dream (hehe.. ) but I am really looking forward to watch Smurf in 3D! Remember Smurf Day not too long ago? BLUE everywhere! Read about it here. Well, today is craft day and I seriously dunno what to make. Sitting in the art room with Ethan, I recalled my dream. That prompted me to make […]

Italiannies’ Spinach & Artichoke Formaggio
I met up with Kimmy yesterday to pass him something. Both he and I just had lunch with our respective spouse(s) :D so we did not makan again until much later in the evening. Come teatime, he decided to go to Italiannies to let me try his favourite Spinach & Artichoke Formaggio. Hmm… I can hardly pronounce it right, it MUST be nice! :P Italiannies @ The Curve The condiments :D Kimmy making a smiley […]

Banking on banks to give us a ‘bang’…
Banks can really give us heart attack at times. Last week I went to the bank to collect my cheque book only to be told that they have destroyed it due to my failure to collect it within the first 6 months after setting up my account. There goes the RM15 duty fee… but nevermind as I know that it is MY fault. Who ask to delay so long right? Then the other day, Darling […]

Toilet Paper Roll Cat Pencil Holder
I am very happy! Ethan loves colouring so it’s only natural that we did something to hold all his colour pencils. What made it best is that we used entirely recyclable materials for that. Presenting to you, our toilet paper roll cat pencil holder! :D Meow! Click here for the full instruction on how to make the toilet paper roll pencil holder.

Daily Fresh : My favourite Corn in a Cup
I’m very choosy when it comes to corn in a cup. I’ve tried so many out there and nothing beats the one I get from Daily Fresh. But having said that, not ALL corn from Daily Fresh outlet is good. I particularly dislike the one in Sunway Pyramid (nearby Brands Outlet) because of the way they prepare the corn. Instead of mixing the corn and butter in a separate pot, they just scooped some corn […]

Choosing the right lifejacket for kids
We are heading to somewhere for some SUN, SEA and BREEZE soon :D I remembered when we went there last time they don’t even have proper lifejackets for kids. Even the lifejackets they have for adults are smelly and yucky. I remembered Darling saying the lifejacket he got then smelt of ‘ketiak’ (armpit)! @_@ *vomit* It’s very important for kids to have the correct fitting lifejackets so we went shopping for Ethan’s lifejacket the other […]

He loves pau~s, me hotdogs…
It’s a known fact that Darling loves pau(s) while I love hotdogs. It doesn’t sound right there but it’s true! Maybe his Chinese roots played a part in his obsession with pau while my ‘western’ upbringing made me love sausages like it’s the best thing in the world! Still.. it doesn’t sound right! @_@ The best pau we ever had was from D’sara Uptown. I forgot the name of the restaurant but it’s really NICE! […]

Instant Gratification
How is the weekend treating you? I hope you are having a blast! I know somebody’s working out real hard in the gym while another is enjoying his brand new TV! Someone else has a new neighbour and is busy checking her out while some lucky lass in enjoying her SPA! :P See, I know so MUCH! LoL! Facebook oh facebook, what will I do without YOU? :D I started my day in the Studio […]

Choosing your baby’s sex : Boy or girl? The truth to be told
These days, is it THAT easy to choose your baby’s sex? If that is so, why are there still families with all boys or all girls? But it MUST be some truth in there for I see many families having a boy AND a girl! If it is so easy to choose your baby’s sex why was the Japanese so worried not being able to produce a Prince? Well, they finally produced an heir but […]

Kia Sportage’s controversial ad
The all-new Kia Sportage was launched recently. The SUV is priced at RM138,888 (OTR with insurance). Darling loves the sporty look of this Sportage. If you must know, in my opinion the previous generations of Sportages doesn’t go well look wise… Look who’s testing the all-new Kia Sportage? :D Kia Sportage – Front View Integrated LED turn signals on the side mirrors but all I see here is Ethan! LoL! :P Kia Sportage – Side view. The […]

BEST doctor in the house!
Last night I was blog hopping and was in that blog belonging to that ‘blogger jutawan’ when my PC suddenly kaput-ed! Trojans, malware, spyware, UNDERWEAR :P and everything came crashing my PC rendering it unusable! >_< Me being a PC idiot langsung dunno what to do! It was written ‘severe damaged’ and more.. Mampos!!! Apa lagi, I WhatsApp Doctor Kimmy asking if he is asleep. Thank goodness he is still awake. Remotely he assisted me […]

Missed it? Fret not, Proton is coming to you!
Ever since Ethan got the chance to travel in the Exora, it’s suffocating to be back travelling in our kecik car back to hometown. See-lah that time when we had the Exora, he got the back row all to himself. He can sleep comfortably… Sleeping like a baby.. I pun can shiok drive as it is pretty comfy and given the height, I don’t feel like a dwarf on the road! :D Then there was […]

Leave me alone, just don’t LOVE me no more..
I love to jog in the playground in the evenings (or sometimes in the mornings). I’ll do my best to arrange my time so that I can jog at least two to three times weekly. Even a brisk walk will do, as long as Ethan and I are able to get some fresh air and sunshine. Working out makes me feel sexy within :D But there’s ONE thing I dislike about exercising in the playground… […]

We come, we see, we Tupperware-d! :D
That day, Ruth invited me to a Tupperware event. Sounds pretty interesting so I said YES! I extended the invites to several bloggers and Karen, Sumi and Azwa came along. I just got up that Saturday morning. Switched on my fon (mengantok lagi tu) and si Sumi called, “Merryn, mana tempat-nyer? Tak der pun signboard or anything?!” Makcik oi, kalu itu bukan signboard Tupperware, apa ke benda nyer tu? @_@ I arrived there like betul […]

Roses are red, violets are blue, sugar is sweet…
So why should we need so much of you? Are you as confused as me? First we read that there are up to 13 teaspoons of added sugar in our children’s growing up milk. Read here if you don’t know what I meant. I googled for Added Sugar and got this I clicked on that link and it reaffirms my fears. Aiyo! I don’t want to feed Ethan dead food! >_< I wondered if Ethan’s […]

Restaurant Brother Yat
How was your Father’s Day celebration? Good food, good company? Darling and I did not go anywhere fancy for Father’s Day as we thought that this special day has been too commercialised these days. But not too long ago, we managed to have a great dinner with good friends @ Brother Yat Subang Jaya. When we first arrived there, lots of question marks appeared in my head. I’ve heard of this place as it is […]

Test Driving the New Myvi 2011
We were invited to test drive the New Myvi 2011 on their launch day – 16th June but I couldn’t make it. Yesterday, we managed to squeeze in some time and without further ado, we hit the road.. Darling took the New Myvi 2011 for a spin first followed by me later. We were extremely curious as to what the new Myvi has to offer as the 2005 model has been the top selling model […]

I just have GOT to try it! @_@ Sesame Sensation -RM6.90- If my favourite Soya Ice series doesn’t come with Taro balls and I always have to top up those balls with additional charges, this Sesame Sensation comes with NEW Sesame Balls!

Transformers Exhibition
Came across this “Transform your future, get intimate with Chevrolet” event in 1 Utama last week. To tell you the truth, I know NOTHING about Transformers. Never liked and never bothered about them. Gigantic ‘what-is-dat’? Please pardon my ignorance, I am really NOT into this kinda things! I prefer to see this Camaro SS Transformer Edition. People assume it’s the Bumble Bee… for whatever reason :P I first saw this Camaro SS during KLIMS’10 and […]

Magical Musicals : Gala Premiere
After being privileged to go backstage for the Magical Musicals’ behind-the-scene sneak preview a week ago, we attended the Gala Premiere last night. Beautiful stage set-up Remember I mentioned in my previous entry they fixed FOUR gigantic ‘ceiling fans’ to cool the audience down? Well, I spotted this HUGE ‘stand fan’! It was BREEZY in the amphitheatre alright! My two darlings! <3 The stage came alive with the casts all over it – the balcony, […]

Stupidity is NOT a handicap
I spend a lot of my time in the mall. They are like my second home already. Many times I need to bring Ethan to the loo but I can’t just bring him to the ordinary Ladies’ as I have stroller and all with me. I always like to go to the special washroom.. It’s specially for the handicap or mothers with little children. But on many occasions, we had to wait for this special […]

Delightful Agony or Tormenting Pleasure?

He was indulging in his favourite noodles only to be irritated by the horrible heat. It was a hot, hot day that lasted till late evening. Dining al’ fresco is not a good […]

Sunway Surprise
If you know me well you’ll know that I rarely visit shopping malls other than my favourite TWO nearby but on Saturday, I was in Sunway Pyramid for the Magical Musicals event. We had prior appointment in TTDI in the morning and that bl****y appointment got delayed way too long. We rushed like mad to Sunway only to be caught in massive jam INSIDE the mall. Darling couldn’t find parking so Ethan and I went […]

Magical Musicals : The other side of the lens
Remember my blog post about attending the behind-the-scene preview of Magical Musicals? If you don’t, read about it here. I shared with you many pictures taken of the cast. We were like crazy paparazzi, taking a snap shot of anything and everything involving the cast, crew and location of Magical Musicals. What I did not realise is, there was this particular ‘paparazzi’ around. He went around taking snapshots of us BLOGGERS at work! :P Here are some […]

Tiger Mother
Heard of the Tiger Mother Facebook Discussion tab? I was in Friso GUT FB page yesterday and stumbled upon that Tiger Mother discussion and it reminded me of something.. Remember when ParenThots interviewed me not too long ago regarding toy guns? They featured two mothers in their article. One mother who agrees to letting their kids play with toy guns and another mother (yup, that’s me) who disagrees. I received a mixture of favourable and […]
