A session with Key Opinion Leaders (KOL)
*Sticky post 48 hours* It’s a must for me to have a mug of hot drink each night while I work on the computer. More often than not my choice of drink is simply warm milk. It helps me sleep better at night. Tonight, as I am working on my PC, I looked at my mug of warm milk and started thinking. I’ve been drinking milk for as long as I can remember. I remembered […]

His first haircut
Ever since Ethan was born, I have been his barber. Four years without ever going to the barber for a haircut until today. I asked Ethan if he would like to have his hair cut by someone else besides me and straightaway he said, “YES!” I did not expect that at all.. I thought he would say NO. Call me bad but my immediate response was, “then you don’t want Mommy to cut your hair […]

Christmas decor in Sunway 2011
My first mall decor hunt this year landed me in Sunway Pyramid. With less than 30 days to Christmas, the mall’s buzzing with shoppers and bargain hunters. I quite like the decor in Sunway this year. If last year they have giant snow globe, this year they have the full package. Reindeer, robin, snowman.. you name it, they’ve got it! Joyful Christmas @ Sunway Pyramid This is how a hobbit like me view the Christmas […]

Angry Boobs
Darling got me something today. At RM31.90 each I’d be angry too! But okay lagi lah as the quality is much better than those pasar malam ones.

So ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, here’s presenting…. my pair of very ANGRY BOOBS! >_< He definitely ain’t getting any of those boobs today! Take a hint Darling, lingerie dear, LINGERIE!

Manicure and pedicure are often associated with women but now men too can have colours on their toenails and fingernails ala Adam Lambert :D This is what happened over the weekend when the Mommy is too sick and the Daddy who is supposed to be looking after the kiddo fell asleep while sitting on the chair.

Zuan Yuan, One World Hotel : A Teochew Date to remember…
Lots have been said about Teochew cuisine though I have never tried one myself. I am particularly intrigue with the fact that Teochew cuisine is generally regarded as being healthy and they are well known for their seafood and vegetarian dishes.

I blogged about the cute eggs before. Read it here. I’m sure you have seen this egg mold before? If you don’t, it’s time for you to go to Daiso as I got mine from there. Two for […]

Butter Toast (Roti Bakar)
I made this for Ethan’s snack today. I call this roti bakar ‘Butter Toast’ as what I did was spread butter on bread and toast it on a hot pan. Sprinkled some sugar on top and yummeh out came the most unhealthy snack ever!! It’s not the same as toasting plain bread in a toaster and spreading butter after it tossed out of the toaster. I don’t like that. I like toasting buttered bread on […]

Merryn Road, Singapore
So what if Justin Bieber has a street in Texas renamed after him just because an 11 year old girl became Mayor for a day? I have my own street too and mind you, it is not located at ANY chaplang area but one of the most high-profile residency in Singapore. Merryn Road is located in Bukit Timah Singapore. Bukit Timah is considered the most expensive district in Singapore. Don’t play play. How often do you get […]

Smart fortwo electric drive
By the time Ethan is old enough to drive, cars will be running on electric instead of fuel. He has already set his eyes on this particular car that has always been MY favourite! I’ve always pestered Darling to get me this with the reason that THIS might be the ONLY car that I will dare to drive as it suits my size perfectly but Darling always brushes me off saying that it is not […]

My Nuffnang Story
When I gave up my job to be a Stay At Home Mother, I almost grew cobwebs all over me. I was at home day in, day out without any interaction to the outside world. I got so jaded that I almost went crazy. Back then I did not even know what is the meaning of a BLOG or BLOGGING. My only time going online is to chat in MSN and Yahoo Messenger and mind […]

Let’s see, how often do I go to Kepong? Not very unfortunately. Though I live in close proximity with Kepong, I rarely go there but last week, we found ourselves there despite the heavy downpour and all.
