Ethan’s very first magic trick
Ethan is into magic now. He has always wanted to learn magic (after watching a couple of magic shows in Genting) but we never bothered to let him pursue it as we were not sure where to start. Last week, we came across a ‘magic shop’ and paid a fortune for his first magic prop that we soon found out to be just ordinary plastic cups but he managed to learn the trick nevertheless and let […]

Craft lessons during the holidays
I am very fortunate as I have a great Whatsapp group that consists of Ethan’s classmates’ moms. One of the mom initiated it and slowly but surely we help to add other mothers we got to know along the way. They have been very supportive throughout Ethan’s Primary One journey. We checked with each other if we were unsure regarding their homework or anything school related. Before the school holidays, I suggested that the kids […]

Simple Mac and Cheese recipe for busy moms
We are just at the end of week one of the long holidays and I’m already running out of ideas on what to cook! My boys, they are crazy. Constantly hungry, I need to feed them every 2 hours or so. Growth spurt? I’m not too sure but whatever it is, I need something quick but instant noodle is not the answer. I browsed the internet and found this simple 3 Ingredient Mac and Cheese recipe […]

An evening out at the movies
One of the perks of being a Nuffnanger (Nuffnang blogger) is the opportunity to attend exclusive movie screenings. Before the arrival of Ayden, we brought Ethan to these screenings often but I stopped going when I was 6 months pregnant with Ayden ‘coz by then my bump was very obvious and it was getting difficult to hide it. We had not been to the cinema since then. I kind of feel pity for Ethan as […]

That also means I will be sharing many simple recipes in the many weeks to come :D The first meal I prepared for the boys is Cheese Stuffed French Toast for supper. It was after dinner when they got hungry again so I whipped this up in a […]

Christmas Decor : Sunway Pyramid’s Hoopful Christmas
It’s that time of the year to hop from one mall to the other to hunt for the best Christmas decor in the Klang Valley. Our first stop was Berjaya Times Square but I have yet to blog about it. 1Utama’s Christmas decor is not out yet. They are just in the beginning of putting them up. We were in Sunway Pyramid over the weekend and were very delighted to see that their Christmas decor is […]

Pretz n’ Beanz Cafe
Just the other day Ethan asked us what a pretzel is. That poor boy has never eaten a pretzel. Such poor thing. Coincidentally, our foodie friends were invited to an evening chilling session at the newly rebranded Pretz n’ Beanz CAFE at Solaris Mont Kiara. Strategically located at the corner lot, you won’t be able to miss it even if you try. Like I mentioned earlier, it was rather easy to locate this place so we […]

Would you let your kid play in puddles?
Ethan loves watching Upin dan Ipin. Actually I love watching them too as they feature the life and adventures of the good old kampung lifestyle. Just the other day, we were watching an episode where the cute twins went fishing and Ethan asked me, “Mommy, how come we never go fishing? How come we never do what they do?” I did not know what to answer him. I did whatever Upin and Ipin did but […]

Bone & Pot’s Collagen Soup
Collagen is one of the key structural proteins in the body and accounts for one third of total protein in the body. It is primarily found in the skin, bones, tendons, cartilages and blood vessels. Collagen is instrumental in maintaining the structure of the skin, tissues, organs, as well as repairing any damaged tissues. Collagen is good for our skin. It brightens, firms, moisturizes, nourishes and prevents the formation of wrinkles. The skin is the biggest organ […]

Inside a Chrysler
For the first time in our lives last weekend, we got to be up close and personal with a super luxurious Chrysler limousine. Chrysler was never in my dictionary until I met it last Friday. Got the key so let’s get inside! Fuah! Fuah! Fuah! The interior of this Chrysler is more luxurious than my bedroom! Okay Ayden is unhappy coz he wants to play with the tv screen. Not too sure what MTV was playing […]

Gundam, Toilet Wefie and Ikea Curry Puffs
We were in IPC (Ikano Power Centre) last weekend and saw some sort of Gundam expo going on there. Dunno lah apa binatang this one but it reminds me of Christopher Au as he loves Gundam if I am not mistaken. Ethan is not at all familiar with Gundam but he had fun checking them out. Ethan asked me if they can transform like Transformers and I just shrugged. How should I know??! Ayden on […]

Samsung KidsTime App: Recap and Conclusions

Today I’m going to recap some of the app’s main features and conclude my findings and observations. Before that, I also want to review some of the games and activities on Samsung KidsTime. There are several categories such as: I can SOLVE. The games under this category focus on Math. Ethan’s favourite is the one […]

‘Seafood Plates of Pleasures’ @ Chatz Brasserie
I remember over a year ago, exactly a day after my confinement ends, Darling brought me to eat all seafood I can at PARKROYAL KL’s Seafood Buffet Dinner. It was also Ayden’s maiden debut to the outside world. Fast forward to present, we were back at Chatz Brasserie, PARKROYAL KL for a fresh take on their seafood buffet dinner and that is what I would like to highlight in today’s post. This time, while dining […]

Anything Panda
Ayden loves panda. I don’t know why but he has a soft spot for anything panda. He was extremely happy when we got him these pandas from Silka Cheras not too long ago. Ayden with Kung Fu Panda at Red Carpet, I-City Shah Alam. Ayden to Panda at Hamley’s, “Friend, you’ve got to try to get more sleep. You have a serious case of panda eyes there” Last week, I bought some Meiji Hello Panda […]

Fun facts about Submerryn
I have a blog manager. Yes it’s always good to have a blog manager coz it can be quite sad (and stressful) to have to sell your blog yourself. With a blog manager, I can just leave the marketing to them and spend my time concentrating on creating fresh new contents and update my blog regularly. Recently, my blog manager wants to create an info sheet of their talents and asked me several questions so we can work better. […]

Footprint Christmas Tree Art For Kids
When Ethan was 3 years old, we did a footprint Christmas tree art together. Christmas is only a month away and now we have Ayden to join us for art and craft. This time, we use Ayden’s cute little footprint instead. Ayden together with Ethan painting Ayden’s cute little foot. Ayden can’t paint his foot lah. He can’t even feed himself so Ethan had to do it all by himself. It is so weird that […]

Green Day – Minority Drum Cover
We just got home from celebrating a friend’s early birthday and I am dead tired. Been sleeping really late the past few nights so tonight I think I’ll catch up on my sleep. That also means I won’t be able to write a long blog post. I realised that I’ve not posted videos of Ethan playing the drum or piano for quite some time now so here goes. This is Ethan drumming to the song […]

China Pee Pee Boys
Darling and I went to China back in 2005. We climbed the Great Wall of China. Climbing wasn’t a problem but I almost burst my knee cap coming down from there >_< Why the sudden reminisce? Because I was cleaning my cabinet and came across this cutie: I remember seeing many of these cute little terracotta boys in China (or so we thought) that turns out to be clay statues of a naked little boy.

HP Print Apps
Darling brought home a new toy for me to play with last week. It’s a HP Deskjet Ink Advantage 4515 e-All-in-One Printer. It’s amazing how advanced technology is these days. Gone are the days when a printer’s function is to just print. These days, we can print content from the Web directly from the printer without the need to use the computer! Don’t believe? Well, not any printer can do it but this HP Deskjet […]

My Reliable Plumber in the Klang Valley
My kitchen tap turned into a water fountain last Saturday. Instead of calling for a plumber, Darling confidently said he can fix it himself. He turned off the main pipe and we went tap hunting. Brought it home and started to install it. He needed help from time to time to hold that tap in place but I was carrying Ayden so I was unable to help him. Got Ethan to help the Daddy instead. […]

Craving for Uncle Tetsu’s Cheesecake!
I’m a huge fan of cheesecakes. My favourite is those creamy type of cheesecakes. I don’t really fancy the soft cottony type of light cheesecake but the recent opening of Uncle Tetsu’s Cheesecake in 1Utama is creating such a buzz that the hype is getting into me. I see Uncle Tetsu’s Cheesecake all over my FB feed, every hour, every day! Basically everyone I know has got a bite of Uncle Tetsu’s cheesecake except ME. […]

Breaded Chicken Meatballs on Mini Skewers
Ethan celebrated Children’s Day in his school last Friday. He was told to bring a food item and he requested for Ayamas Breaded Chicken Meatballs. He ALWAYS requests for this. Last year during Children’s Day in his kindergarten, I prepared him the same thing. I find that these chicken meatballs makes a very good party finger food. Ayamas Breaded Chicken Meatballs. I woke up a little earlier that Friday morning to fry 2 packets of […]
