What is lemang? Lemang is a traditional malay food that is made of glutinous rice and cooked in hallowed bamboo stick lined with banana leaves in order to prevent the rice from sticking to the bamboo. Lemang is usually eaten with rendang or serunding. Usually prepared for festivities such as the Muslim Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Hari Raya Aidiladha, we found lemang in abundance EVERYDAY here in Terengganu during our trip to Awana Kijal, Golf, Beach & […]

In the Studio yesterday, I wanted to get the kids to make a Mother’s Day gift since Mother’s Day is approaching. I couldn’t think of anything ‘outstanding’ yet so I shared with them this crepe paper ‘pottery’ project. I call it pottery  because just like pottery with clay, you have to like roll the clay all around in circles before you can start shaping them. We used the large toilet paper roll. Glue a cardboard […]

During our stay in Awana Kijal Golf, Beach and Spa Resort, the staffs there kept on raving about a certain fish snack called satar. They kept asking us if we’ve tried it. Honestly speaking, I’ve never heard of such a snack. When I knew I am going to Terengganu, the first thing that came to mind is keropok lekor and nasi dagang but definitely not satar as I am not even aware of its existence. […]

Staying in Awana Kijal Golf, Beach and Spa Resort is so much fun. The resort itself is filled with activities to keep you occupied but if you wish to explore out of the resort, you can visit their Fun & Adventure counter and choose the countless activities most suitable for you.

During our 3D/2N stay in Awana Kijal, Golf, Beach & Spa Resort, we signed up for the Kampung Tour. One of the activities arranged for Kampung Tour is a visit to the Turtle Sanctuary in Cherating Pahang.  Let’s take a look:  Turtle Sanctuary and Information Centre Chendor Beach A nice traditional ‘home’ that houses turtles. There is no fee charged to enter but you can donate for the upkeeping and conservation of turtles. We got excited […]

You know back when you were dating, some of you might have bought couple tees  that compliment each other? It’s like a jigsaw puzzle piece, the tee won’t be complete unless the other half is wearing his/hers. It was like a statement to tell the world that he/she is YOURS? Well, Darling and I were never in that phase during our courting days but as we grow into our  seventh years of marriage, we are […]

Yes I know, another piano lesson post. Bare with me as I’m keeping his milestone as remembrance and for future reference :D Since Ethan started piano lessons 28th of last month, he has been playing the piano first thing when he wakes up in the morning, in the afternoons when he gets home from BaoBei, in the evenings after playground and at nights before he goes to bed. He loves it that much. He has […]

I was out shopping yesterday and spotted this tee. The caption captivates me and immediately I took one to try. I saw one lady asking the staff there if they have the same tee in XL size. Now tell me, why would you want to wear a tee that says, “I May Be Small But I’m Strong” if you are an XL sized person? o.O

No matter how cute they are? I think here in Malaysia, there are two body parts that are not allowed to be shown on TV commercials ie the underarm and the belly button. You don’t get to actually see the lady model applying deodorant on her armpits in TV commercials do you? Forget about breasts and the thing down there, those are forbidden! Somehow, armpits are allowed in print advertisement though. Here’s a deodorant Ad […]

I was raised in Sitiawan from Primary 4 until I left for college. When it comes to Sitiawan, one delicacy that you MUST try is: Gong Pian, Gong Phiang, Kong Piang, Kompiang.. however you spell it, it only means one thing : Biscuit made of lard, onions, salt and flour with either onion or minced pork fillings which is then slapped onto the sides of a traditional Chinese oven. It will stick at the side of […]

Yeah Baby! LMFAO is in the house! We waited anxiously for this day to come but it rained the entire evening before the concert. Even as we were preparing to leave the house for the concert at 7pm it was still raining. We arrived the main entrance of Sunway Lagoon at 8.30pm sharp to see no more queue into the venue ^_^ *sometimes it is good to be late?* Ethan, Darling and I got our […]

The last I went to Petrosains KLCC was end of 2006 when I was pregnant with Ethan. I was working with Smart Reader Kids then and was leading the kids for their field trip. The kids were 5 and 6 years old then but they did not enjoy the trip. We completed the entire place in less than 2 hours! Yesterday, when we planned to utilize the free Petrosains vouchers given by Disney Junior, I […]

*48 hours sticky post. Scroll down for latest updates* I run a craft Studio specialising in creating craft from recyclables. It is only natural that I am inclined into anything that is Mother Nature friendly. That includes ‘green’ cars and by green I’m referring to the much hyped hybrid cars. I don’t know much about hybrid cars initially but there is always room to learn new stuffs especially if this is going to be big […]

Darling loves eating Nga Choi Kai (Bean Sprouts Chicken) and we pay like RM2 for a plate of blanched beansprout which I think is ridiculous knowing how cheap beansprout is in the market! As usual, I’ll try to learn to prepare dishes that either Darling or Ethan loves. Yesterday, I tried dishing out blanched beansprout and I think it’s quite alright as Darling said I managed to get the correct texture with the right crunch! […]

Hi! I know we have been MIA for several days now. That is because we are all a lil’ under the weather right now. We’ve been cooped up at home and to kill our boredom, we did some crafts. Easter is just around the corner so it is time to take the eggs out and start decorating. If you have a printer at home, there are countless craft work you can do on ‘rainy days’ […]
