Remember I posted in early July about wanting to go for a beach vacation? My friends heard me so we planned for a weekend retreat down south. They planned to drive down together to Johor early Friday morning but thinking about being in the car for 4-5 hours straight scares the heck out of me. We decided to drive back to Malacca on Thursday night instead and put a night at my mom’s place before […]

Howdy peeps! How you been doing? We’re finally back after a 3 day hiatus. We went down south to Pulai Desaru for some much needed back to nature retreat away from the hustle and bustle of city life. I did not bring my laptop along with me as I have this one rule of NOT bringing work along on our vacation. But guess what? I max my iPhone usage during the entire trip that I […]

Gold or rather yellow kiwi fruit is the craze these days. Nevermind how expensive they are, we are consuming them like mad just because they are said to be higher in nutrients. The fact that they are sweeter and bald makes it more appealing to me lah actually.  How do you peel a kiwi fruit anyway? I don’t like to use the peeler as I’ll end up wasting a thick chunk of skin and flesh […]

Ethan wanted to have Cars 2 theme for his birthday celebration. It was two weeks before his birthday so I thought since we had so much time, why not make our own Cars 2 banner? I didn’t know THEN that we can easily buy them for under RM20 in Toys R Us! >_< Anyway, Ethan did checked prints using Excel. We printed lots and lots of them since the ink so cheap only (so I […]

So Ethan is finally FIVE on Saturday! We celebrated his birthday in the Studio just like last year. Just a year different from last birthday, he is way more ‘involved’ this year in his birthday planning. He specifically requested for a Cars 2 cake. He wanted a Cars 2 theme. He wanted to invite his friends and he makes it a point NO ADULT are allowed for his birthday >_< He shops for the party […]

To spank or not to spank? It is an age-old question. I would love to tell parents not to spank their child but I can’t, because to discipline a child we need to look at the complete picture. But what I like to say is if you need to spank, please do so only on the bum or hands; never hard enough to leave scars or unsightly marks of your handprint or the rod. Handprints […]

I got this bottle of Japanese mayonnaise from Ethan’s class educational trip recently. I have no idea what to do with it until yesterday when I discovered that it is going to expire this December when I stripped it! :P Oh dear, better use it fast before it expires! Japanese Kewpie sudah bogel :D What we did was to blanch some carrot sticks and cut some japanese cucumbers. I used normal carrot as I doubt […]

We were invited by Nuffnang and Resort World Genting to stay the night at Chin Swee Temple for some meditation, Tai Chi, energy session, chakras discussion, mandala colouring and more. Life has been so hectic and stressful for me that I immediately said YES to the invitation. Luckily for me, Ethan is eager to go learn some Tai Chi and meditation too! It was Friday and Darling was working so Ethan and I packed our […]

Most of you know that I was a kindergarten teacher before I got Ethan right? Ok, in case you don’t, NOW you know :D I quit after delivering him to become a full-time stay at home mom. It was not part of my plan but.. nevermind :) Back when I was teaching, I always tell the parents to make sure their kids HAVE breakfast before coming to school as the nutrients taken will help them […]

Two things work better than one. How very true that is. Many things work better when complemented by another. I was watching Ethan playing with his Thomas train today. The thing about these toys is that they are often sold separately.< We started with the Thomas train but Ethan got frustrated as he could not carry anything with only the engine so we made another trip to the mall.. I like to think that the […]

The Saujana Hotel is just a stone’s throw away from my house. Okay, maybe we’ll need a little bit more than just a stone, perhaps 20 stones will do :D During the Ramadhan month last year, we were invited to dine at this prestigious hotel. We enjoyed our meal by the poolside very much. The food, ambiance, traditional performances and live stations serving varieties of local delicacies made us feel warm all over. Read more […]

Darling’s birthday is this weekend but guess what? I’ll be attending Nuffnang’s Blogopolis 2012 and that itself will take me away from 8am – 6pm followed by a date with Justin Bieber (MTV World Stage) later that night in Sunway :P So to make up for my ‘absence’ during his birthday, I took him out for an early birthday celebration last night. We went to Marché at the Curve. It’s our first time here mind you […]

A couple of weeks ago, we went up to Chin Swee Temple in Genting Highland, Pahang. It’s so beautiful here as we have cool breeze day in, day out! We fell in love with the breathtaking view of Chin Swee Temple. We super love the cool weather too! Okay, the thing is, before going for this excursion, we were worried that all we’ll be having is bread and water. Can’t blame me as Chin Swee […]

Good morning peeps! How was your weekend? Ours was a very hectic one. Our Saturday was spent in the Studio, then straight to my eye check-up and the rest of the day was havoc running from one school to another scouting for dance and drum lessons! Ethan playing Guitar Hero Ethan has been pestering us to sign him up for drum, dance and even guitar lessons. Where in the world he got all those interest […]

Painting is therapeutic. In the midst of our hectic schedule, how many of us still paint every once in a while? When was the last time you held a paint brush or even a color pencil? The kids did a simple koi fish painting in the Studio today. One look at Ethan’s koi fish and many said he is VERY talented! LoL.. now, let me share with you the SIMPLE process of how those kids […]

It’s the mid year and EVERYONE is at the beach. Facebook is full of pictures of people jumping on the beach. It’s like You Go Beach, You JUMP! If you don’t, you have NOT officially been to the beach yet! Yeah lah, guilty as charged lah, we did that too not too long ago. Hehe… Anyway, I did this out of boredom today. I wish I’m at the beach now!  

Ethan is in that Word Search / Crossword Puzzle phase. He gets this trait from his Grandma. My Mom’s favourite section in her daily newspaper is the Word Search column. I can never understand what she finds interesting looking for words that is obviously already there! @_@ We were in Popular yesterday and he chose this book so Darling got it for him. Today he is looking every inch so Ah Pek-ish trying to find […]

I was away last weekend right? I wore my contact lens the entire day that day from 8am till 10pm coz I did not bring along the contact lens case and liquid as they are both in Darling’s car. Darling met me up in Chin Swee later at night after his work. The next day I noticed a white dot on my right cornea. Can you see the white dot? I dunno how to photograph […]
