I was spring cleaning my house today. I looked through Ethan’s old clothes, his sheets, curtains and more and dumped them into the washing machine to give them a rinse before putting them away or maybe letting those pre-loved items go. NEVER did I imagine when the washing machine sings its usual tune signalling that my laundry is done, I’ll be facing the BIGGEST mess ever!  I was greeted with THIS! Gel-like substance flowing out […]

If you are a blogger who loves attending events, you are sure to have lots and lots of eco-friendly shopping bags at home. I have like a million of them! :P Apart from attending events, we bloggers get to attend movie screenings too aye? That only means that I do not purchase VCDs/DVDs as often as I used to anymore. In fact, I have so many CDs/VCDs/DVDs at home that is full of scratches that […]

This weekend is going to be a LONG weekend AGAIN! Wootz!! Where shall we go? Mana? Mana? Where? Where? Yep, you guessed it RIGHT! Let’s go to GENTING, my weekend home :P I guess it’s pretty obvious that I’ve been going to Genting very often lately huh? The fact that it’s so close to home coupled with the cool weather keeps bringing us back there. Let’s recap the MUST DO’s in Genting this coming holidays: […]

We were supposed to go to the playground but it rained. Rainy days calls for emergency baking but I don’t have all the necessary ingredients to bake a decent cake. I looked through my cabinet and found some wheat crackers and leftover Koko Krunch from the Cute Doggies Cookies the other day. I thought of steaming a cake so I checked if I have all the necessary ingredients: 220gm of butter (original recipe calls for […]

During our Hop-On Hop-Off KL tour recently, we hop-off at the new Istana Negara. We’ve always wanted to visit this place but never got the chance, so this was a golden opportunity for us. The Grand Istana Negara Beyond the almighty gate lies a beautiful palace. A closer shot. As you can see it was a very windy day that day. Flags flew proud and mighty. Ethan has always requested for us to bring him […]

We were extremely privileged to be invited by Nuffnang and Resorts World Genting to catch Superstars of Magic 2 at Genting International Showroom on Friday evening. It was such a privilege that Darling took half day off so he could join us too. We had dinner at Genting Hotel’s Coffee Terrace Restaurant before the show. Awesome buffet spread, simply lavish but that is a story for another entry :D So here we are at Genting International Showroom for […]

Darling and I love fruit juice while Ethan unfortunately doesn’t want to go near it at all :( We bought a food processor not too long ago that is able to crush ice so we can have ice-blended juice anytime in the comfort of our own home :D Today we made dragon fruit juice.  From the cactus family, dragon fruit is football-shaped and has a leathery, leafy skin that is deep red or pink. So how […]

Do you remember when you learnt to tie your shoe laces? I don’t. I don’t even remember when I learn to cycle on 2 wheels. Last Friday we bought Ethan his very first shoes with shoelaces. He has always requested for shoes with shoelaces since he saw my jogging shoes. Today, I taught him how to tie his shoelace. Surprisingly, he managed to successfully tie his own shoelaces after the second try! But what is […]

During the long weekend break, Darling decided to try being a tourist getting around KL. What better way than to Hop On Hop Off KL? If you are a smart tourist, you’ll definitely not want to flag for a cab in the heart of KL as the crazy jam will make the journey very costly in the end. I’m so used to be driven around KL that it is such a welcoming change to be […]

My parents and my sister’s family spent their long holidays in Colmar Tropicale, Bukit Tinggi. Ethan, Darling and I joined them for a day out at the Animal Park today. We took the shuttle van to the Animal Park since it is the public holidays and parking is scarce. We ended up regretting taking the shuttle van. Read on to find out why.  Ethan and my nieces getting excited in the van on the way […]

After learning making mooncakes and tasting the entire range of mooncakes at Resort Cafe Genting, we proceeded to Bubbles & Bites to have a bite (pun intended :P). It was way over lunch and we are all famished so we had quite a lot of food that day.  Bubbles & Bites is a casual continental cottage cuisine with a rustic concept that specialize in pizza and pastas. Here are some of the food that we had. […]

Darling, Ethan and I each has that Genting Theme Park Annual Passport. We make a trip up like once or twice a month as it is only an hour drive away from home. Looking at this reminds me that we’ll need to renew our passport dy :D This time around once we renew our passport, we plan to make a visit to the NEW Snow World! Located at Level T2A, First World Plaza, they were […]

After their impressive gigantic Dragon do for Chinese New Year, we kind of expect something more spectacular from Pavilion this Hari Raya. I went “Wow” when I saw the decor.. I mean “Wau” .. Larger than life Wau(s) hanging around the mall. Wau! -.- Hmm.. I prefer 1Utama’s decor this year. Check them out here.

When it comes to beauty, we always wish to have skin as smooth as a baby’s. But do you know that baby’s skin is thinner, more sensitive and less oily than an adult’s. They are more prone to rashes and other skin condition. That’s the reason why we are encouraged to apply baby oil onto our new born’s delicate skin; to moisturise and keep them comfortable. Ethan is no longer a baby but his skin […]

4 1/2 months into his piano lessons, he is now Popeye the Sailor Man! :P Hehe.. my little Popeye :P His new set of books now are Hal Leonard Piano Lessons Book 2, Hal Leonard Piano Solos Book 2 and Hal Leonard Popular Piano Solos Level 2. 

We’ve got an itch to do some baking recently so today we baked this cutie pie KoKo Krunch doggies cookies :) We baked this because I have all the ingredients at home. All that is needed are plain flour, icing sugar, butter, chocolate chips, chocolate rice and of course Koko Krunch. I have all those at home with me at all times. Oh yeah, we need vanilla essence too. TUTORIAL VIDEO  Cute Doggies KoKo […]

It’s been so long since we did any handprint art. Ethan’s palm has grown so much since then! Last Saturday, we did Handprint Egg Carton Owl art in the Studio. Handprint Egg Carton Owl Paint your palm brown and stamp it on a piece of art block. Cut the eyes from an egg carton. Paste feathers on the hand print. Paste the egg carton on the handprint and the owl is done. Isn’t it CUTE?! […]

Our Hari Raya Mall decor hunt brought us to IPC (Ikano Power Centre). The decor revolves around a fishing village. Ethan doesn’t like the giant octopus and here he is trying to stomp it! >_< That should be a whale right? I don’t understand why they have this giant creatures scattered around. It’s not at all nice even the kids are not impressed..  I prefer it to be just that – a sampan and some […]

Last Friday we went jalan-jalan at 1U after Ethan’s class. As soon as we entered the mall we saw some activities going and immediately Ethan ran towards it. The emcee was calling for kids to go up stage for dunno what lah and this Ethan dunno head dunno tail terus run up! -.- Other kids all got siblings with them but Ethan solo jer kat sana but nevermind-lah, janji dia berani. They danced, played games […]

Remember our post about Ethan shaping his very first mooncake in Resort Cafe, Genting? Read about it here if you missed it. Not only did we get to make our very own mooncakes, baked it and bring it home, we also get to indulge in 16 varieties of mooncakes!  Let’s start with Ethan’s favourite, the Snow Skin with Kiwi Fruit paste. Snow Skin with Kiwi Fruit Paste -RM10.50+ (new) A new addition to Genting’s mooncake […]

Have you ever wondered why educational toys for kids are mostly focused on ‘building’ or puzzle-like concept? In games such as the one shown above, you’ll need to connect more pieces in order to create something. Threading beads is also popular with kids. They strive to try threading those beads as long as possible; with the longer the connection, the more satisfied and happier they are with their achievement. Building blocks is another must have […]

We are privileged to be invited by Resort World Genting and Nuffnang to spend a day up in Resort Cafe, Genting to learn making mooncakes and also to sample their wide variety of mooncakes. We are even more privileged when the Chef shared with us his recipe for baked mooncake skin. Ingredients for the skin: 750 gram flour 600 gram golden syrup 150 gram oil 15-20 gram alkaline water Combine flour, golden syrup and oil. […]

We got hold of the Samsung WB150F Wi-Fi camera a fortnight ago. In this era we live in, EVERYTHING needs to be Wi-Fi ready, don’t you think so?  I had always wanted to know how a Wi-Fi camera works and here’s how: After getting your favourite shot, turn the dial to ‘Wi-Fi’ Choose how you want to share the picture(s). In my case, I chose Social Sharing You have Facebook, Picasa, YouTube and Photobucket to […]

Being a full-time stay-at-home-mother (SAHM) requires a lot of motivation to keep me going and stay happy in my mundane life. Sometimes I can’t help but think grass is greener on the other side. Sometimes I wish to still be working and have friends to hang out with. Sometimes I wish things were different… But reality is I’m a mother to this boy: Weeeeeee! I’m HAPPY! I JUMP when I’m HAPPY! Weeeeeee! Look Mommy! I […]

Dato’ Lee Chong Wei is Samsung’s brand ambassador. The moment he won the match against Chen Long, Samsung arranged for a LIVE screening for the Olympics’ Badminton Finals for the fans to get together and show our support towards Dato’ Lee Chong Wei. Thanx to Nuffnang, together with many other Nuffnang bloggers, we made our way to Laundry, the Curve today. Darling and Ethan showing their support for Dato’ Lee Chong Wei :D Me with […]

I love e@Curve’s Raya theme “Dendang Orang Jauh” this year. With more and more city folks opting to go for an oversea holiday instead of going back kampung to visit their old folks, this is a nice reminder that our parents are missing and waiting for our return this festive season. e@Curve’s Centre Atrium is transformed into a bus station complete with road, street lamps and all. Where’s your destination? Let’s go get our bus […]

Our next mall decor hunt after 1 Utama is the Curve. ‘Dansa Raya’ is their theme.  They have this nice kampung house with large enough varendah for dance and performances. Ethan relaxing at the ‘pangkin’. A pangkin is a traditional Malay raised platform, typically used as a common seating area and gathering place for the community.  Beautiful glittering stars These lights, these are what fishermen use to catch fish last time, aren’t they? Correct me […]

Continuation from our Desaru trip with 15 adults and 5 kids, it’s only appropriate that we checked ourselves into CintaAyu All Suites Hotel at Pulai Springs Resort & Spa after leaving Desaru.  We shared our 3-bedroom suite with Choi Yen and family. The living room. Ethan and Samantha warmed-up pretty quickly with the surroundings, enjoying themselves on the cozy couch. The kitchen with fridge and coffee & tea making facilities. The bed in the Master […]

It’s that time of the year again to hop into malls in the Klang Valley to check out their Aidilfitri decoration. My first stop as usual is my second home, One Utama :D This was One Utama’s decor last year.  Let’s take a look at their decor this year :) Themed ‘The Rich Heritage”, they have once again proved to have one of the nicer decor around town. Aerial view Side view Lovely pillars and […]
