My little koala is such an attention seeker he forbids me from trying to get any attention to myself :'( Ok so I’m doing the inevitable task of updating my blog via my fon coz koala is asleep but I cant go anywhere or he’ll wake up again >_< Sometimes I feel like squirting some milk on hanky […]

For the past couple of years (or maybe slightly more) I’ve not been making anything for Chinese New Year. I was always busy with Ang Pow decor workshops that I hardly have time to be in the kitchen. This year though, I tried making at least ONE snack and the chosen snack is non other than the simplest of the lot – Seaweed roll. Nori sheets, popiah skin and egg white. That’s all we need […]

Chinese New Year has come again and the year of the Horse shall be celebrated with full of energy among family and friends. Celebrate we did as we gathered at The Emperor Chinese Restaurant, Dorsett Grand Subang to indulge in their extensive and authentic Cantonese cuisine. There are choices of special delicacies from Emperor’s various set menus, traditional Yee Sang, dim sum feast and chef recommendations of A la carte dishes, specially catered until 14 […]

It all started from a conversation with Darling’s friend Victor who was planning to get a new car. He was talking to Darling about which executive saloon car should he get with a budget of RM140K-RM160K. Darling mentioned the likes of Camry and Accord but I found something more interesting! The Kia Optima launched in 2010 took the world by storm with its gorgeous styling. Now it is time for an update with the 2014 […]

Recently, Ayden always bite his lips and also suck his fingers. He’ll either bite or suck his lips. Am puzzled why is it so as Ethan doesn’t go through this stage. I posted the above picture on my FB and most of my friends said he might be teething with itchy gums except for one who cheekily said he’s like that because he wants my boobs (Joanna you know it’s YOU! :P) Anyway, we bought […]

Hello Hello! How was your long weekend? We hope you’ve had a great one. As for us, we spent our weekend recording Max Steel Ultra Blade and Max Steel Blade Attack review specially for you, our beloved readers :P Thanx to Mattel and Nuffnang, Ethan is now a proud owner of several Max Steel figurines. However, playing alone is no fun so he shared them with our neighbour’s kids. Look at the kids happily unboxing […]

Remember we were in Sunway Pyramid 2 weeks ago? Besides their beautiful CNY decor, they also have an archery booth. Ethan wanted to give it a try so Darling paid RM10 for 12 arrows. Ethan’s first time being Robin Hood :) The person in charge guiding Ethan on the proper way to handle the bow and arrow.  It was quite tough as this requires some strength.  Ethan placing the arrow on his own.  Propelling arrows […]

In exactly two weeks’ time we will be ushering the Year of the Wood Horse, saying goodbye to the Year of The Snake. According to the Chinese zodiac, people born in the Year of the Horse are active, energetic, charming and cheerful. Active, energetic, charming and cheerful is exactly what we got at Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant, PARKROYAL KL during our recent Chinese New Year dinner. Just look at the tea master pouring tea […]

I’ve always sang praises for One Utama’s festive decors. I’ve complimented them so much until certain parties thought that I’m working with their PR or something. I tell you, I have nothing with them ok? They don’t even invite me for their launches or anything eventhough I’ve supported them for so long *cries silently in a corner* This year as usual, I went mall hopping for the best Chinese New Year decor and 1U was […]

Though I’m a Malaccan I spent most of my growing up years in Sitiawan, Perak. Unlike my Peranakan parents, I am quite fond of the Fuzhou food there. I left Sitiawan for college in KL but my parents remained there. Each time I go back to Sitiawan, my mother will buy me a hot bowl of lu mien from the famous aunty in the market. I remember referring to her as “pasar aunty”. That was […]

about what guys are thinking. Do you agree with me that girls tend to jump into conclusion at times? I know coz I’m one of them… More often than not, what those guys are thinking about are really not worthy of our worries… serious :P

We were in Sunway Pyramid today and to our surprise, their Chinese New Year decor for the Horse year is already up! Okaylah, CNY is also less than a month away anyway…  Ethan and Ayden on a horse ride :P Haha. Kesian Ethan pulling a bullock cart! There are white horses too. Those horses look quite real that my eldest sister was fooled when she first saw them.  It is not Chinese New Year without […]

I direct latch Ayden. Means I do not pump out my milk for bottle feeding. That also means I will need to nurse him whenever we go out. I used to run to the nearest nursing rooms whenever we are out shopping but that is too troublesome as sometimes the nursing rooms are all occupied.  One fine day I braved myself to nurse in public using my shawl to cover him but I find it […]
