Today, is my birthday! Haha.. I know you already know :P But one thing is for sure, you don’t know how OLD I am. That shall be kept a secret ^_^ This year, we celebrated my birthday grandly several days earlier in the heart of Subang Jaya in Grand Dorsett Subang. Just a couple of months ago we were here celebrating our wedding anniversary but that time we did not stay.  We love the thick […]

Program Sentuhan Kasih is a PETRONAS festive CSI programme piloted in 2005 in preparation to celebrate major festivities in Malaysia. Initiated to communicate the ‘human’ side of PETRONAS where staff are given the opportunity to share the spirit of togetherness and share the festive joy with the underprivileged community. Over the years, the programme has become one of PETRONAS’ signature sustainable community outreach programmes designed and implemented to benefit the less privileged groups wherever PETRONAS […]

We dropped by KLCC for lunch today. It was jam packed! Thank goodness we managed to find a parking spot.  I took this golden opportunity to photograph their cute Christmas decor. I must say the decor in KLCC this year is pretty impressive! They used to be so dull in previous years but this year, everything is so cheerful and lively.  Cute elves are everywhere!  Love this Santa’s workshop.  Ethan loves it too :) But […]

Remember my post here saying that I’m unimpressed with the Christmas street lighting of Orchard Road, Singapore? Well, that is because we have a much more colorful street lighting in Sunway! Every year without fail we’ll take a leisurely stroll along the cheerful and brightly lit Sunway street. This year is no exception. Love this Christmas tree. It’s quite hard to photograph this tree as people kept surrounding it for pictures too. Can you see […]

We went to Universal Studio Singapore again (read about our FIRST trip there two years ago here) and this time we enjoyed more as Ethan can ride most of the thrill rides compared to when he was 3 years old. Reunited with the cute Puss In Boots <3 This trip also marks the very first time Ethan rode on a rollercoaster! I was hesitant initially but he insisted that he is big enough for all […]

During our recent Singapore trip, we went to the Singapore Zoo on Day 2 for the much anticipated elephant ride. Never did it occurred to me that Ethan will end up feeding giraffes as well!  We saw people feeding giraffes for a fee of $5. Ethan was curious and wanted to feed them too! >_< It scares the heck out of me seeing that super tall creature with their heads hovering above Ethan.  But that […]

Ever since I was young it has always been my dream to go to Singapore in December to soak in the Christmas celebration. People have always told me how beautiful Orchard Road is in December with the lights fully lit up beautifully. This year, my dream came true as Darling booked the hotel right smack in Orchard Road for our Singapore trip this time around. We stayed in Mandarin Orchard, that links to Mandarin Gallery […]

Christmas comes early for us this year. Come to think of it, we always celebrate Christmas early! :D Our early celebration was held at Mulberry Restaurant and Bar in Ming Annexe, Jalan Ampang, Lebuh Ampang. I remembered last year when I dropped by this place, I have this to say, “tucked in the ground floor of Ming Annexe Building, it is truly a hidden gem for I really like what I saw. My first impression of the […]

Phew! Last weekend was a hectic one for us as Ethan had his very first public drum performance in Sunway Giza Mall for two consecutive days. He played only drum on Saturday but by Sunday, he’s confident enough to play the piano too. Ethan and the other 3 drummers 10, 10 and 11 years old. Here’s a video of Ethan playing one of the 5 drum pieces. And here’s him playing a simple piece on […]

On our first night in Singapore, we were thankful that the weather is beautiful with no rain to make it possible for us to catch the much anticipated Crane Dance in Resort World Sentosa. We took the Angry Birds Cable Car to Sentosa. The show is scheduled at 9pm but tourists lingered around the area as early as 8pm! We went to take our seat at 8.45pm after having our dinner. At 9pm sharp, a burst of fireworks lit […]

We went to Sunway Resort today to catch the City Parade. Cute mascots on parade Ethan got candy canes and balloons (with vouchers inside) from the street performers. Ethan join in the fun too! It was nice-la. First time witnessing this in Sunway. Watch this video for more of Sunway Resort City Parade.

The last time we were in Singapore 2 years ago, we went to the Night Safari. We got to see animals in the dark but we never get to experience the beauty of Singapore Zoo as it was too dark. This time around, we visited the Zoo during the day and I must say that I’m pretty impressed with Singapore Zoo. None of the animals (especially monkeys and orang utans) are in a cage! They all have their own nice […]

Ethan and I were in Jusco the other day when a promoter approaches us with this Ayam Brand Ready-To-Eat Sardines. She was promoting the two new flavours – Spring Water and Teriyaki Sauce. The promoter told me (while looking at Ethan), “Mam, this Ready-To-Eat sardines contain no added MSG and no preservatives! No need to cook, just open and serve!” Hah! The thing about grocery shopping with a kid is that the little monster would […]

We are BACK! We just got back from Singapore and this time around, the moment you touch down Changi Airport you’ll be surrounded by Angry Birds everywhere! Angry Birds in Changi Airport, Singapore Ethan mimicking the green pig >_< The first thing we did after checking into our hotel in Mandarin Orchard was to take the MRT to HarbourFront for the World’s First Angry Birds™ Christmas-themed Cable Car atop Mount Faber. Angry Birds Cable Car Ticketing Counter Even […]

We finally landed to the place nearest to us, The Curve! That’s always the case isn’t it? So near yet so far :P Their fairyland Christmas is lovely. I won’t feel that it’s Christmas if not for the Christmas trees though. It just feels like you are in one beautiful secret garden. Soothing to the eyes… This is what makes is so Christmasy. Lost in a jungle of Smurfs :P Christmas garden at The Curve.

I hate shopping (especially for shoes) and that is mainly because I can hardly find anything my size (size 3) -_- I was looking high and low for a walking shoes that is comfortable enough for me to wear at least 8 hours a day due to the long hours of events I have to attend frequently. My boots just won’t do it anymore as it has high heels and my feet feels sore by […]

After attending the Beaconhouse School of Tomorrow conference, a quote by Alma Haris lingered in my mind even until now, “If we want 21st century learning, we can’t have 20th century systems”. The 4th School of Tomorrow Conference opened to a crowd of over 600 delegates from over 9 countries at the Sunway Resort Hotel. The education conference is the fourth in a series of international conferences organised by Beaconhouse to explore a new vision […]

We are early this time around in making Chinese New Year Ang Pow decor. It’s just that the mojo suddenly comes ya know? :D Today we are going to share how to make a simple red packet snake as we will be welcoming the year of the SNAKE in 2013. Ang Pow Snake Cut open a red packet. Fold in half and cut away excess to get a square.  Fold both sides to the middle. […]

It’s all about getting FAT and SUGAR HIGH in 1 Utama this Christmas! Fresh from the oven, we are dwarfed by the gigantic pastries and sorts. I didn’t get last year’s Underwater theme. I just don’t see the connection then. I don’t get this year’s extremely unhealthy theme neither. But for what is worth, they do look cute lah.  Snowman yes, very Christmasy indeed.  But gigantic biscuits?  Raindrops falling on my head…  Now we know […]

Remember my post on Global Handwashing Day? In conjunction with Global Handwashing Day last October 15, I pledged to wash my hands with soap before eating via Lifebuoy’s FB page. Lifebuoy is a Unilever brand and one of the world’s leading germ-protection soap brands. Lifebuoy targets to collect 50,000 pledges where Lifebuoy will donate RM10,000 to selected schools around Klang Valley to improve their toilet facilities. Not only did they manage to hit 50,000 pledges, Lifebuoy […]

Ethan’s BaoBei teacher told him last Friday to bring an empty cut bottle to class on Monday for a project. They are learning about plants and as usual in BaoBei, every topic is followed by some practical learning. That is what I love most about this place as it is not just theory learning but hands-on too.  Ethan said he believes the teacher will teach him to grow a plant in that cut bottle as […]
