Last December, we received a lovely Christmas Fruit Cake from Dorsett Grand Subang.  It is always nice to receive anything in a cake box as I super love cakes and cookies.  This Ayden just can’t wait till we get home and insisted to open it there and then but I managed to bring him a little further from the crowd before letting him open the cake box :D We spent the entire December eating this […]

We’ve been to Singapore numerous times but have never been to their S.E.A Aquarium until last week. Our priority is always Universal Studio Singapore first and often by the time we are done with USS, we won’t have time for the aquarium anymore. We almost missed the aquarium again last weekend as we went to USS again as usual but this time we made sure to leave a couple of hours earlier so we can […]

We were in Singapore over the long weekend recently. We chose to stay at Hotel Jen Tanglin, a newly renovated property that exudes modern functional design concept. This fresh and fully renovated hotel has just celebrated its official reopening barely a month ago and is already a favourite to all “Jeneration” of travellers. Hotel Jen Tanglin Singapore, a new hotel brand under Shangri-La International Management Limited has undergone an extensive SGD45 million makeover to transition from Traders Hotel Singapore. It is designed […]

Today’s Chinese New Year Angpow decor is a remake of the classic Red Packet Fish Ornament but we added additional tail to it, making it more beautiful :) Chinese New Year Red Packet Fish Ornament We’ll need an angpow with beautiful prints on it.  Cut it into a square. Turn it over and draw lines as shown above.  Cut along the lines.  We’ll need another angpow with different print or color for the tail.  Attach […]

We went to the airport early the other day so we had a lot of time to kill before boarding. We were at T2 @ Changi Airport and there are many cute monkeys to welcome the Lunar New Year.  These monkeys are so cute and cheerful. Ayden kept asking me how come these monkeys eat PAU and not bananas. Darling told him those are not pau but peach. Is it? I thought those are birthday […]

The recent year end school holidays was very good for us. We managed to visit quite a number of places for short vacations. Since I have kids, I always opt to travel nearby. I prefer to take short and near vacations rather than travelling far for a stretch of time as the kids get tired easily. Ayden is already 2 years old this time when we travelled and he remembers much more things compared to […]

Last Saturday was Ayden’s first time flying. We flew to Singapore. We took Firefly from Subang to Singapore and return with Malaysia Airlines to KLIA. I prefer flying from Subang airport. It’s nearer to our house. We do not need to waste too much time travelling on the road. More over, the cab fee is definitely cheaper but we had no choice, we had to take MH home as there are no more flights from […]

Growing spring onion is relatively easy. You don’t need rocket science to do it.  Chances are some of the onions in your kitchen would have sprouted anyway so all you need to do is place them on the soil to grow further.  As usual, I used milk cartons to grow my greens. This two big onions represents Mummy and Daddy (according to the cheeky Ayden). The boys planted little onions for their own collection.  We placed the […]

A couple of days ago, I received an email from Nuffnang regarding their mobile ads. I’m not too sure if this is new or what but I do know that I have not inserted any NN mobile ads in my blog prior to this.  Looking at how much we are spending time on our mobile instead of the PC, I decided to add the mobile ads into my blog. I’m a noob when it comes to […]

There was one morning when Ayden woke me up before 5am! Don’t know why, he refused to go back to bed. I left him there with the Daddy while I went down to prepare Ethan’s snack box. I went back into the room 20 minutes later to see him wide awake so I thought why not bring him along to send the kor-kor to school.  Ayden got so excited when we told him that he’ll be […]

Went CNY shopping last weekend. To be more precise, CNY clothes shopping. No luck though as nothing fits me. Sigh.. This is the problem if you have a big head with a little body. I end up looking like a tadpole if I wear fitting clothes or a shuttlecock if I wear loose ones. Haih!  I saw this and actually tried it on: LoL! I’m a walking pineapple! So Chinese with so much ONG! I […]

Last Saturday, we met up with Isaac and Ivy at Pholio Cafe, Mutiara Damansara. Relatively new, its nasi lemak kukus is already well-known in the neighbourhood and beyond. It is obvious this is a sports themed cafe with a mini football field on the floor to the many football jerseys hanging around the cafe. Football field floor. The bare wall is where they project live games during the football season. Pholio Cafe, Mutiara Damansara Address: […]

It is the third week of school. I still havent been able to establish a routine of waking up early in the morning to prepare food for Ethan. The reason being I usually stay up till 2am for work and if I wake up at 5am, I’ll remain awake the entire day to care for the two boys. On days that I really can’t get my eyes to open, Ethan will purchase food from the canteen […]

One of the boys’ favourite sushi restaurant is Sakae Sushi. The huge and smiley green frog always entice them to enter. We dine here often as they serve reasonably priced Japanese food. Come here on a Sunday and chances are you might bump into us as Kids Eat For Free every Sunday at Sakae Sushi. Ayden’s favourite green frog It is always our pleasure to attend Sakae Sushi’s CNY preview. This year, it is even […]

Count our blessings as we are invited yet again to preview the Chinese New Year Lou Sang menu this evening at Si Chuan Dou Hua, PARKROYAL Kuala Lumpur. Swinging to a prosperous new year, Si Chuan Dou Hua is ushering the Year of the Monkey with eight set menus that have been delicately created to cater to every taste bud. PARKROYAL Kuala Lumpur even invited the God of Prosperity to the CNY preview :D According to […]

The weather is scorching hot these days and it is said to go on till March. The boys are even seen seeking shelter from the fierce sun during our daily evening playground routine.  I was waiting for Ayden to crawl out of the tunnel only to see him hide in there. I guess he discovered how cooling it is in there as opposed to the scorching hot sun.  And then there are TWO! Haiyo! That left […]

A neighbour was googling for info on online registration for Standard One for 2017 and 2018 intake for schools in Selangor and landed in my page as I’ve blogged about the step-by-step on registering Ethan for Primary One back in 2012. She told me this evening that Sistem Pengurusan Murid Tahun 1 Online negeri Selangor (esppsel) is now closed and we are no longer able to register there.  The new site that will be of use is https://public.moe.gov.my/ […]

Faitit update blog abit! When I am so sleep deprived with Ethan’s new schooling hours, it needs a whole lot of motivation to update my blog. I can just choose to go to bed instead of blogging but I sayang my blog. Will not want cobwebs all over it.  So let me tell you abit about my day today. We finally get to sleep in and wake up at 10am. Went for CNY shopping and noticed […]

During our 4D/3N stay in Pulai Springs Resort, we took our dinners at their award winning Qing Palace Chinese Restaurant except for one night when we returned from Singapore late and ate at Cinta Terrace instead. The award winning Qing Palace Chinese Restaurant features exquisite interiors that echo the grandness of an ancient imperial dining hall. Qing Palace, Pulai Pavillion Decorated with genuine Oriental antique furnishing, paintings, carvings and even silk lanterns, this restaurant is […]

Ethan’s class is now in the morning session. I have successfully been waking up early at 5am for 3 days to prepare his snack box but overslept today so he ended up bringing bread and cereals to school. He is happy though as he is able to share the cereals with his friends.  Not only do I have to prepare his snack box, I also prepare tea break now that he is at home in the […]

It’s the second day I woke up at 5am to cook for Ethan’s school break. My life is AUNTIFIED to the max when the kid is in school. So many things to blog about but no time to process the pictures also so let those wait for a while lah. In the meantime, to convince myself I am not so aunty yet, let me share pictures of my current hair colour :P I went to […]

Most children are fascinated by animals and often have an animal that is a particular favorite of theirs. Animals are used widely in our daily education especially for younger children. A better way to introduce and educate animals to them is to let them see and experience these animals upclose which we did last month at Bukit Gambang Safari Park. The entire trip is all about animals, animals and more animals. One activity that the boys love besides riding […]

Wake up, wake up! It’s the first day of school! I woke up at 5.15am to fry rice for Ethan to bring to school. He is in P3 and is in the morning session this year. The father thought that fried rice with eggs and vege is not enough for his son so he added some nuts and raisins too -.- I used to sleep at 2am daily when Ethan was in the afternoon session […]

Chinese New Year is just a month away. We will be welcoming the Year of the Monkey. As usual, it is time to take out the Angpow wrappers and make decors with them. I did an origami monkey with my gold wrappers. Chinese New Year Angpow Origami Monkey It is best to use gold wrappers to make this monkey. I tried with pink wrappers and my friends do not seem to fancy it. They said pink […]

It is our annual ritual to welcome the New Year counting down to the fireworks display at major shopping malls. I’ve been doing this with Darling eversince we were dating and continued the tradition until today. Back in those days when I was dating, we used to take the LRT to the city centre to countdown at KLCC or Dataran Merdeka. These days we don’t do that anymore. We will just drive to the malls […]
