2015 has been good to us. The boys are growing up healthy and we managed to take many short trips locally.  I also managed to spend some time with my parents bringing them out exploring Melaka. LoL. I know right? We locals won’t usually go exploring our own place hence it is sometimes nice to go out as tourist to discover the gem in our own city.  My mom usually cooks for us when we […]

Animal rides. What animal do you like to ride the most? We rode on horses, ponies, elephants and even donkeys before but have you ever ride a camel? We haven’t, until we encountered a camel in the Safari Park at Bukit Gambang Resort City. Here, not only we can watch the camel, we can also ride on them. This is one of the first camel rides in Malaysia so we die-die also need to try […]

While we were in Melaka over the weekend, my parents brought us to Wisma Peranakan, Tengkera Melaka. My parents are active members there with my Dad being one of the AJK member in their Koperasi. I’ve blogged about how my mom’s (and even my Dad’s) social life changed to the better after she got involved here. You may want to read the post again here -> Being Socially Active My mom wanted me to see it myself. […]

Are you an outdoor person? I used  to be but since becoming a mother to the two boys, I’ve been quite deprived of these challenging activities. During our recent 3D/2N adventure at Bukit Gambang Resort City, we spent an entire day at their Active Academy and I took maximum advantage here to relish my childhood interest. Active Academy Centre @ Bukit Gambang Resort City This is their colourful ticketing counter. There are many activities available here. Ethan wanted to […]

I was back in my hometown again last weekend. We brought my parents to check out the latest attraction in Melaka, the 5D Art Studio When we got back home to my parents’ place in the evening, I was surprised with a birthday cake. My niece drove out to buy it for me. Yes, my niece can drive unlike me… Happy Birthday to me :) One with my parents and my niece who is taller than me […]

5D art is a 5D trick arts featuring paintings on plain surfaces that magically appear to be five-dimensional (when viewed through the lens of our camera) through the use of optical illusion. There is a new 5D art studio at Lorong Bukit Cina, Melaka so I thought it would be fun to bring my parents to check it out.  Situated right next to Malacca’s famous Capitol satay celup, it is not difficult to spot the […]

We will be welcoming the auspicious year of Fire Monkey in 2016 but it is never too early to Lou Sang! Chef Loh Jiunn Voon, Executive Chinese Chef from award winning Chinese restaurant, The Emperor prepared three delectable 8-course feast and Yee Sang to indulge in with our loved ones, friends and colleagues. We always do our best to arrive early for Chinese dinners because I super love the nuts they served as appetiser. There is […]

In my previous post, I wrote about the TWO ultimate experiences we must not miss at Bukit Gambang Safari Park, which are to experience the safari park through the Drive Zone Tram or ride there ourselves on the ATV. You can refer to the post below in case you missed it earlier: The TWO Ultimate Experiences You Must Not Miss at Bukit Gambang Safari Park I also ended that post by saying there is another activity […]

We just got back from an incredible adventure in Bukit Gambang Resort City. Bukit Gambang Resort City (BGRC) is an integrated resort city sprawling across 727 acres of secondary jungle. It took us about a little over 2 hours drive from KL to BGRC. Bukit Gambang Resort City boasts of their multiple attractions in one location so we did some research before heading there in order to maximise our visit. Our initial plan was to stay […]

Rain drops keep falling on my head… Yesterday, I brought the boys to the playground in the evening. It was quite a gloomy evening but it was not raining yet so I decided to go ahead and bring them over. We managed to spend over an hour there when the sky suddenly opened up and pours.  Ethan, Ayden and I quickly ran home but when we reached home, Ayden did not want to go inside. […]

It’s so close to Christmas! So many things to do with so little time!  The next mall I’m featuring in my Christmas Decor 2015 series is Berjaya Times Square.  Quite a lovely piece of decor in this corner.  Berjaya Times Square’s 2015 decor.  I think they reuse last year’s record breaking Christmas tree and added lots and lots of snowflakes around it.  Berjaya Times Square’s 2014 decor. What do you think? 

“Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high And the dreams that you dreamed of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Blue birds fly And the dreams that you dreamed of Dreams really do come true ooh oh“ Ayden saw his first real rainbow yesterday. I don’t remember when was my first time seeing a real rainbow. Do you?  I also don’t remember being curious to know where the rainbow starts and ends but the […]

Let’s talk about eggshells today. Long, long time ago if you give me eggshells, I’ll use them to make crafts. Cute? You can refer to the tutorial here -> Eggshell crafts These days, I rarely use eggshells for crafts as Ayden is too young to be painting on them. He’ll most likely crush them and the big brother Ethan prefers to paint on pebble stones instead. So what do I do with my eggshells? I […]

1 Utama’s Christmas decor this year definitely fares better than their shockingly horrible 2D attempt last year. You may want to check out last year’s decor here -> 1 Utama’s 2014 Christmas decor Themed Evergreen Christmas Garden, the LG Oval Concourse is transformed into urm.. a garden? Well I dont see that many plants to make this an evergreen garden but they do have a glasshouse. Actually the Secret Garden on their rooftop is much […]

It’s already the 14th of December! Yikes! I’ve taken so many pictures of Christmas decors all around the Klang Valley but have yet to post them out. Let’s take a look at The Curve’s Christmas decor this year. Do check out their Christmas decor last year here -> The Curve 2014 Christmas Decor This year their theme is Tales of Christmas Magic where giant books take centrestage. The boys look so tiny standing in front […]

During our Theme Park Exploration trip down south last month, we dropped by Sanrio Hello Kitty Town in Nusajaya Johor to check what the hype is all about.  The entrance fee is quite expensive for such a small place. Both adults and children are charged the same rate which I think is a bit ridiculous. They should have a fee structure according to age just like Kidzania where the adult’s fee is cheaper than the […]

Ramen Ten is Singapore’s first and popular Halal Japanese restaurant. I found out about it during my recent trip down south but did not get the chance to dine there due to my limited time in Singapore. They have an outlet in PJ Jaya 33 too so we thought we might as well give it a try. Ramen Ten is on the ground floor of Jaya 33 and can be easily spotted from the main […]

We have not been doing art or craft for a very long time now haven’t we? I finally took out the tempera paste today and get the boys to do a handprint Christmas tree. Ayden is much better in painting now. He can paint his own palm and stamp accordingly.  I’ve forgotten how fun it is to spend time doing artwork with the kids. Let me think of more artwork to make with the boys […]

I cleared my spinach patch before going for our 4D/3N trip down south last week and as soon as I got home, I wanted to start planting them again. I looked high and low for my bottle of seeds that I kept in the car porch but could not find them. I got pretty upset as my lifelong supply of spinach, sweetcorn, brinjal and many many more other seeds are in that precious bottle of […]

It’s the school holidays so I allow the kids to sleep in while Darling wakes up earlier to go to work. I will usually sleep in together with the boys as I always go to bed very late. I trust he is able to prepare his own breakfast as he always make a mug of hot cereal and send it up to me every night while I am working on my blog. He should be […]

Dorsett Grand Subang hosted a Christmas Tree Lighting Ceremony with Yang Berhormat Hannah Yeoh, State Assemblyman of Subang Jaya and the children of City Revival Children’s Home to launch its Candy Fantasy Festivities. Hugo Gerritsen, Area General Manager of Dorsett Grand Subang was also joined by Datin Jasmin Abdullah Heng, Vice Chairman of Dorsett Hospitality International and Clarence Wong, Chief Operating Officer cum Chief Financial Officer of Dorsett Hospitality International for the festivities. The annual […]

Slide The City Malaysia is finally here! Originating from the U.S., Slide The City began touring around the world in U.K. and Canada before visiting Asian countries like Japan, Hong Kong and Korea in 2015. Today it is finally here. The giant waterslide makes it debut in Malaysia and the Submerryn family gets to experience it firsthand :D The above road leading to the overhead bridge in Precint 18 Putrajaya was transformed into a 1000ft giant slide […]

PARKROYAL Kuala Lumpur is having ‘A Magical Christmas’ this year. The lobby of PARKROYAL Kuala Lumpur is transformed beautifully to welcome the season of Love and Giving. We super love the fairy lights that took over the backdrop at the reception area. We had the opportunity to attend a Christmas buffet dinner preview at Chatz Brasserie last Thursday. We were served PARKROYAL Signature Mocktail as soon as we were ushered to our table. For Christmas, […]

Ethan has always been keen to pay a visit to LEGOLAND® Malaysia since it first opened in 2012 but we never got around to do that until recently when we decided to give it a try. I invited Choi Yen and family to join us and after some discussion, she agreed. I proceeded to arrange lodging, transportation and the tickets. Though we’d love to put up the night in LEGOLAND® Hotel, we decided to stay in Pulai Springs Resort instead […]

It is the season to indulge in delicious festive flavors! There is a lovely fireplace waiting for Santa at the entrance of Vogue Café, Renaissance Kuala Lumpur.  We were serenaded with upbeat tunes while having our buffet dinner at Vogue Café the other day. The boys can’t help themselves from dancing to the festive Christmas jingles and more.  I love the view of their lovely Christmas trees from where we were seated.  Vogue Café is the place […]

A week ago, I was carrying Ayden when I heard people screaming. I looked around to discover that they are actually screaming due to the shock when they saw me fell. Only then I realised I was already slumped on the floor. I did not know how or why I fell but I found myself sitting on the floor.  I was still holding Ayden tightly. He was okay. I got up again and continued walking […]

It’s DECEMBER, let’s welcome my favourite month of the year. It is also the month where every where I go, people mispelled my name; MERRYN becomes Merry :P True enough, MERRY we were as we had an early Christmas gathering with friends in a true British style complete with wine, turkey and more at THYME Kiara in the heart of Mont Kiara, KL. THYME Kiara Solaris Mont Kiara 50480 Kuala Lumpur Wilayah Persekutuan Kuala Lumpur […]
