Ethan has been complaining of his shaky tooth and a crocodile tooth is growing behind that shaky one. I told him to pull out his shaky tooth but he said no matter how hard he tried, he can’t. LoL! I told him I’ll pull it out by tying a thread around that tooth and tarik out that gigi. He got so scared that he refused to let me go near him. Every single day he’ll […]

Jingle all the way, Christmas is on its way! Year end is always the best time of the year since it’s the long school holidays and of course the arrival of Christmas and New Year soon after. I love Christmas decor hunting and this year, Eastin Hotel Petaling Jaya impressed me with their Christmas decorations. A lovely snow covered ‘house’ complete with a chimney and cheerful LED Christmas lights lit up the entrance to Swez Brasserie. […]

I don’t frequent the city centre often but today we dropped by Berjaya Times Square to run an errant. I’ve read somewhere that they have a grand musical staircase but the last I was there last year, I could not find it. Maybe I did not look thoroughly.  Today, we found it by chance. I was walking nearby when I heard a beautiful melody and when I looked up, I saw this: The Grand Musical […]

It is the year end school holidays. Time to reward ourselves for all the hard work throughout the year. The haze has affected us badly the past months, so much so that we are afraid to book flights in case the condition got worse and flights needed to be cancelled or delayed. We decided to go somewhere we can drive so that we can make last minute changes in case the haze makes a comeback […]

We brought Ethan to Universal Studio in Singapore for the very first time when he was 3 years old. He did not need a ticket to enter then as kids under the age of four enters for free. Here is our write up on that: 1) Ethan’s first time in USS We went again when Ethan was 5 year old. This time he needed a ticket to enter and this time he can ride on more […]

Hello! We just got back from a fun-filled 4D/3N holiday in Johor and Singapore. We stayed at Pulai Springs Resort the entire time and drove to Singapore on our third day and return to Johor on the same day. We were nervous initially as we have always flown into Singapore, never once took the bus or train what more driving in but we decided to conquer our fear and try it. The only reason of us […]

It is the year end and that means the long holiday is here again. Many of us including myself have already made plans for the family. When we are on a holiday, dining out is simply unavoidable. This puts us at risk of consuming contaminated food or drink because food hygiene standards can be extremely low depending on the destination and the season of travel. Children are especially susceptible to Traveller’s Diarrhoea (TD). We learned […]

Tous Les Jours is a French inspired Korean bakery serving wide selection of breads, pastries, cakes and cuisines. Pronounced, “Tu-le-juru”, Tous Les Jours means “Everyday” in French.

Ethan went to school late today as he attended a rehearsal earlier. He’ll be the opening act for a college’s talent competition this Friday (thanks to Piano Station for arranging it) and today is his first rehearsal.  Ethan in the music room while waiting for the hall to be ready. I like how the students padded the walls with egg cartons. I’ve always wanted to do this for Ethan’s drum room but never got about […]

Our first stop for this year’s Christmas decor hunt is Pavilion. It was still work in progress when we were there last weekend. I was at Starhill to get my hair done so I thought why not hop over to have a look at Pavilion’s decor. The outdoor decor. I believe it will be magnificent once it is lighted up come night time.  The boys are attracted to these bears. It’s a mechanical Santa, Bunny […]

It is prize giving day today in Ethan’s school. He woke up really early to be there and will have to stay back for his afternoon class as usual. We were worried that he’ll be hungry or tired but thankfully the teacher informed us that parents are allowed to attend so the Daddy can bring Ethan out for lunch after he received his prize.  Darling decided to attend without Ayden and I as it was […]

I’ve had straight hair for years and am beginning to feel bored with it. Was game to try getting a permanent curl so I headed to Number 76 at Starhill Gallery last weekend to see what can be done. Say goodbye to my rebonded straight hair. My Hair Makeover Menu of the Day: 1. Digital Perm (RM424) 2. Ultrasonic hair treatment (RM265) I saw myself looking like a little lamb with all the heating rods. […]

While most kids have gone back to school, Ethan was still having an additional day off on Thursday as the school was being very generous with the festive holidays. Bored at home, I took both the boys out to the mall. The first thing we saw was LEGO. There is some kind of LEGO exhibition and activities going on and since the boys are so much into building blocks lately, this got their attention.  LEGO […]

Both Ethan and Ayden are not a fan of brinjals so I was initially a little hesitant to try planting it. However, I ran out of veges to plant so I bought brinjal seeds to try planting. To my surprise, brinjal plant grows effortlessly and bear fruits so easily.  Compared to the trouble I went through growing sweetcorn in pots, this brinjal came out as a no challenge. If you have never try planting, you […]

I celebrated my birthday with a staycation here back in 2012. We did not have Ayden yet that time. Only Ethan, the lightbulb was with us. The three of us fit in comfortably in the bathtub of our Deluxe room. Back to present, Dorsett Grand Subang is having ‘Kid Stay and Dine for Free’ promo and we took advantage of that for another staycation with Ayden joining us this time. At RM298.00nett per room per […]

Darling is always looking for a good place to bring his business acquaintances for a meal. It is rare to find restaurants in hotels in KL serving non-halal dimsum as mostly are pork-free. I recently discovered that Dynasty Restaurant, Renaissance Kuala Lumpur serves non-halal piping hot Dim Sum at RM12.60nett onwards per portion. Choices range from steamed, baked and deep fried to healthy congee. Dynasty Restaurant Renaissance Kuala Lumpur Hotel Level 1, East Wing, Corner of […]

Late last year we got ourselves a new HP Deskjet 4515 e-All-In-One printer that is able to print content from the Web without the need to connect to the computer. We had so much fun during the year end school holidays making lots and lots of origami printed from HP Printables.  Ethan had the time of his life as it is extremely easy and convenient to print origami templates from HP Printables using our HP […]

It was a nice, sunny afternoon last Saturday. I brought the kids to this popular eatery, 1977 Ipoh Chicken Rice Restaurant in Jalan Gasing, PJ for lunch after Ethan’s taekwondo class. I used to frequent this place back when I was in college almost two decades ago! Oh my, time certainly flies! 1977 Ipoh Chicken Rice restaurant新怡保鸡饭店 107 Jalan Gasing 46000 Petaling Jaya, Selangor It is as packed and popular as ever. This restaurant originates […]

The emergence of a more health-conscious society in Malaysia are well reflected by the growth of wellness establishments within the country such as gyms, weight management centres as well as organic food and beverage operators. I for one am doing my part in getting my family to eat healthier by planting all of the above organic plants in whatever little space I have at home. Imagine my delight when Zurich Insurance Malaysia Bhd (ZIMB) launched […]

There is this modern Taiwanese mini steamboat place called Two Pesos in SS2 that is always packed with a long queue waiting to be seated. Just a couple of months ago, they opened a new branch in Kota Damansara. I am ALWAYS in Kota Damansara so apa lagi, we quickly hopped inside since not many are aware they have this new branch here so the queue is still tolerable. If you are lucky, you can […]
