Volkswagen. I’ll always remember them for ignoring Darling and I. When we were thinking of replacing our V6, we had this interest on VW Passat CC hence we went to their showroom to have a look. After speaking to the sales person, we requested for a test drive. Guess what? He told us that he’ll call us back. Great! That is as good as telling an upfront NO to us. True enough, a week gone by without […]

From Xmas to CNY and now into Valentine’s Day. The clock seems to be ticking so quickly. Valentine’s Day falls on the 14th February every year but it has always been a habit of Darling and I to celebrate it earlier as food is ridiculously expensive on that day itself. This year we did something different. Since we’ve been pigging out since Christmas, we decided to do something else besides eating. We decided to go […]

It’s officially the year of the Dragon now. I welcomed it in my sleep! For the very first time in ages, I actually went to bed before midnite without even trying to stay awake to usher the Dragon… For the very first time this year too we tossed REAL yee sang at home! For the past years we have been tossing yee sang at home without the YEE but this year my SIL bought the […]

Do you write names on the back of Ang Pows for those special people in your life? I do. I mean I used to but this year, not anymore for today, we personalized our Ang Pow packets :D Personalised Ang Pow packet First, you’ll need to choose a picture of the person you are giving the Ang Pow to. This is easily done by stalking their Facebook account :P I helped Ethan to get the […]

Woke up this morning. Went to FB and WhatsApp at the same time and was told that Ethan and I are in the papers today! First thing came to mind was, “What did WE do?” Switched on my PC to see Angi tagging me in FB with the snapshot of us :D A photographer asked for Ethan and my name during one of the Chinese New Year lunch reviews so this is the outcome (^_^) […]

Rarely do I write a random post but today is the day when rarity comes in full force. 1) I held all my classes yesterday so that today I’ll be free to go shopping for clothes as I’ve got NOTHING as yet BUT because I was annoyed with Darling this morning, I scrapped the idea of shopping altogether and ended up at home the entire day. Stupidity on my part, I know. One day wasted on […]

Today we are going to make something extremely EASY. It’s so EASY you can even do it in your sleep :P Here’s the tutorial video:  Ang Pow Fish you can stick on your walls, windows and every where. 1) For the body, you’ll need to cut open an Ang Pow packet and trace the shape from template. 2) For the tail, do not cut open the Ang Pow. Trace the shape on the Ang […]

Every Chinese New Year, we will be awaken by the loud Dong Dong Chiang on TV. My Dad will deliberately blast the TV so loud just to annoy us. He is always the early bird where else we always sleep in as we only go to bed at 3am the earliest during CNY. It has been a ritual of his to blast the TV by 10am if we are still not awake. You’ll never be […]

We did a Dragon craft today :) Can feel the ‘heat’ dy. Chinese New Year is just around the corner! Dragon fridge magnet.  Super simple and fun craft. Print out a dragon head and a tail. I got the dragon head and tail template from here. Paint and cut. Cut a strip of paper and paste three magnets along it. Paste the strip of paper to the Dragon’s head and tail and the fridge magnet […]

We ended up in Berjaya Times Square to see for ourselves the ‘Biggest Blossom Tree Replica’ at its main concourse area. The replica stands erect at 50.46 ft and holds 398,998 exquisite blooming blossoms. It is dubbed the Biggest Blossom Tree Replica by the Malaysia Book of Records. Not only that, their lantern is also bigger than life! Gigantic I tell you! If you are looking for ideas to make your own Ang Pow lanterns […]

If you are looking for a mall to go this weekend, you may want to consider Sunway Pyramid for they too have quite an amazing Dragon. If Ethan was not afraid of Pavilion’s Dragon (though I was), he is afraid of THIS Dragon! The Dragon is really something for this is the only dragon we’ve seen (so far) that is actually going vertical. Ethan is afraid as he said the Dragon can climb up real […]

The Dragon hunt brought us to Pavilion KL today. Actually I don’t know how we ended up in Pavilion. One moment we were in Eastin Hotel then Ethan and I fell asleep in the car and when we woke up we were already in Pavilion! Superb! The 600 ft long Majestic Dragon at Pavilion KL. Having just woken up from our nap, Ethan and I walked around Pavilion while Darling went somewhere else to meet […]

Today we are going to make another Lantern out of Red Packets. I don’t know what to call this. Can’t find any auspicious name for it but since it looks like a carousel to me, we shall refer it as Ang Pow Carousel Lantern :D DIY Chinese New Year decor : Ang Pow Carousel Lantern Fold as shown above Fold again as shown above. Looking like a slice of pizza now.. yum yum :P Fold […]

In my quest to find the best Chinese New Year decor in malls around the Klang Valley, never did I expect to find a gem at Sunway Giza Mall. They were nothing extra-ordinary during Christmas so when I paid them a visit today, I did not even bring my camera along. But to my surprise, Giza Mall has the most amazing decor I’ve ever encountered as they have this: *The photos you are about to […]

Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa embraces the year of the Dragon with the poetic rhythm of spring blossoming throughout its walls in celebration of the New Year with hopes of happiness, longevity and prosperity. We drove through the gorgeously decorated street to West Lake Garden, the Hotel’s Chinese restaurant. A teaser before we begin – Dragon Boat Sea Cucumber. A magnificent work of art! This Dragon year, the restaurant is offering a choice of four […]

Remember I was sceptical about 1 Utama’s Chinese New Year decoration when I saw them re-using their Christmas 2011 decor? If you don’t, read about it here.  Well, I was WRONG for the end result is amazing, better than their Christmas decor I must say! Check out their Christmas decor here. This is the stage seen from a level above.. What caught my eyes is the DRAGON.. Only the DRAGON… Amazing DRAGON that saves the […]

Our second stop for Chinese New Year mall decor is at IPC. Walking distance from The Curve, how can we NOT come here right? :P Ethan enjoying walking on the trail of the dragon. He said we must NOT walk on the RED carpet for the dragon will EAT us then! :P The stage. One of the houses with one of the dragons. Lanterns What I love about IPC’s decor this year is the trail […]

*Sticky post 48 hours* Maxis Berhad (‘Maxis’),Malaysia’s leading integrated communications provider, introduced the eagerly anticipated iPhone 4S to its customers at the stroke of midnight, with a special launch event at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. Concurrently, Maxis also introduced the device in Johor Bahru,Penang, Kuantan, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching. I was at Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre on the 15th December eagerly waiting for the stroke of midnight for the Maxis iPhone 4S launch. I […]

Was in Sunway yesterday for a media preview of West Lake Garden’s Chinese New Year Specials. We had GOLD yo! And this auspicious Dragon Boat Sea Cucumber! Detailed entry coming soon as now I only wanna share with you some pictures on the streets of Sunway. The street of Sunway has never failed to mesmerize me be it Christmas, CNY or any other occasions. I love it last Christmas and I’m loving the Chinese New […]

As we usher the new year 2012, let’s usher the year of the Dragon together. This year, our very first Lou Sang is at Zuan Yuan Chinese Restaurant @ One World Hotel.  My little photographer photographing Yee Sang for the second year. I think he fared better this year compared to last year. Last year he used my iPhone. This year he uses a camera :D Yee Sang or Prosperity Toss also known as lo hei (in Cantonese) […]

I was in One Utama today. Oh well, I am there like basically every other day so… Anyway, I saw their Chinese New Year decor about to complete. If a month ago they have the “Splashing over the big blue” for Christmas… Christmas at 1 Utama a month ago. I don’t really fancy the BIG BLUE theme then.. Chinese New Year at 1 Utama a month later in January 2012. They recycled the splashing Christmas […]

It’s crazy how close Chinese New Year is from Christmas. I still haven’t taken the ornaments down from our Christmas tree yet here we are making Red Packet decorations already for CNY! Today we’ll be making Ang Bao Wheel Of Fortune Red Packet Wheel of Fortune We’ll need ten Ang Bao wrappers if we are using the long type. If you are using the square packets then you’ll need to double the amount. Fold the […]

Fold the paper accordion style. Click here to find out more about accordion fold. Fold it in half and glue together. Cut two triangles. Tie a gold thread at the bottom of the fan. Cut the bottom of […]

Public toilet ain’t exactly the best place I like to be in unless it is really necessary. And when the time comes that I seriously needed to go to one, I’ll do my best to minimize the things that I touch along the way knowing how WET and FILTHY public washrooms are in Malaysia! When people say that washrooms can be the most dangerous room in a house or any other places, I totally agree […]

This Christmas was a GREAT one as I was with my family! We made our way back to my hometown in Malacca on Saturday only to be caught in a horrible jam that took us almost 5 hours to arrive our destination that usually takes only about 2 hours on ordinary days! I arrived just in time to see this: My sis and her two daughters already BBQ-ing.. NICE! That only means that FOOD is […]

I remember fondly 7 months ago when we were first introduced to Trudy and Teddy apparel. I fell in love with their European style instantly! When they organised their first tea party in June, we were privileged to be amongst their invited guests. We were given a budget of RM300 to select the apparels for our kid to parade in their fashion parade during the tea party. It was a whole lot of fun scouting through their lovely […]

Today is a state holiday for the folks in Selangor. Darling needed to go to KL to meet a client so Ethan and I took this opportunity to tag along. Almost regretted though as it took us almost 2 hours to arrive KL due to the massive jam! I can balik kampung dy oh with that given time! But it’s okay, since Darling desperately needed to meet his client, we persevered and made it to […]

I can’t believe it that we actually went to Citta Mall today. This is only my second time here. But I am impressed with the outdoor Christmas decorations. Darling and Ethan at Citta Mall The outdoor Christmas decoration provides lots of photo opportunity BUT let it be warned that they are scattered around in the parking lot so PLEASE BE CAREFUL when taking pictures. Watch out for oncoming cars! Giant Santa and sleigh in the […]

Pavilion has one of the better Christmas decorations in town. Let’s have a look… Christmas @ Pavilion KL They have the Largest Real Lollipop by Sticky. Oops.. somebody ate the P in Pavilion and NO, it’s NOT Ethan :P Ariel view of the Xmas decor in Pavilion. So many people loitering on the staircase accompanied by beautiful Christmas trees :) Santa Claus is flowery! Rudolph not only has a red nose this year, he went RED […]

We were at Pavilion Kuala Lumpur yesterday to check out their Christmas decoration but what caught my attention more is the United Buddy Bears on display during its world tour outside Pavilion. The United Buddy Bears promote living together in peace and harmony and Malaysia is the first South-East Asian country to be chosen for its tour. I had a ‘beary’ great time walking from one painted bear to the other. These cheerful and colourful […]

Ello! I just got back from Pavilion to check out their Xmas decor and the United Buddy Bears. So NICE that we spent so many hours there and only got home after midnight. I don’t want my blog to turn into a pumpkin with no updates so here’s a quick one before I go to bed. I promise to give you the United Buddy Bears pictures tomorrow! Here’s the Christmas decoration at The Gardens Mall, […]

It was a surprise that Darling brought Ethan and I to Mid Valley Megamall today. We don’t usually go to Mid Valley due to the jam and lack of parking but since he happens to pass by Mid Valley on the way to see a client today, he decides to drop us there :D First thing I did was to go buy a couple of movie tickets. After getting our tickets, we decided to check […]

While it is a norm for me to go from one mall to another to capture the magnificent decorations of the magical Christmas every year, it is NOT always that I encountered such effing stupid Guards in a Shopping Mall! Pardon my language but I am really pissed at what happened today. I was in Tropicana City Mall to catch a movie. The Muppets to be exact. On my way to meet a friend to […]

I love to go Christmas decor hunting come December as they are usually very beautiful. But for my own Christmas tree, I like to make my own ornaments. The satisfaction of seeing my handmade ornaments decorating my tree is simply priceless. I was in IKEA the other day and I saw this beautiful Dove. It seems easy enough to make so I tried it with the kids today in the studio. I drew the bird […]

Milestone : Today marks the FIRST time my two Darlings participated in a treasure hunt! This is the 2nd time for me with the 1st being during Mommy blogger’s outing in Aman Rimba, Janda Baik. We gathered in front of Marmalade, Publika. Each family were given a treasure box to store FIVE gold coins. The clues were super easy :D Sophia flagged us off and within minutes we got all FIVE gold coins! Ethan checking […]

You’ve seen that extremely cool pose of my Dad during my cousin’s wedding last month in this post. This month, another cousin of mine got married. This time I get to be part of it. She wanted her wedding theme to be of babies so I made her Giant Alphabet Cubes to be used in the photo booth. I used lots of recycled material for it. I cut cardboard boxes into 3 pieces of two’s […]

Splashing over the big blue is 1Utama’s Christmas theme this year. They kicked of their Christmas celebration with a spectacular launch by YB Elizabeth Wong on the 1 December 2011. I’m not too sure how the ocean has got anything to do with Christmas but it is a beautiful Winter Waterland indeed :D Shells, shells everywhere! Marine life takes centre-stage Lovely Love the lavishly strewn jewels on those shells! The submerryn’s feeling so AT HOME! :P […]

It’s that time of the year again to let the Christmas tree out of the closet and blow the dust off the box full of ornaments. This time around, I did NOTHING! The kids excitedly did EVERYTHING! :D They ambushed the box. Darling had to come and calm them down when things got out of hand. You know kids being kids, I grab, U grab, everybody grab grab! This is such a sweet scene. Kimmie […]

I was in Ikano a couple of days ago. Saw their Swedish Christmas decoration. I think it is not 100% done yet as it is still quite empty. Nevertheless, here are some pictures of the Christmas decoration in IPC this year. The Christmas house Ethan sitting on a log in front of the Christmas house Ethan on stage with a friend Hay and Julbock Ethan on a log again. What is Christmas without the log […]

The 1st of December is a very important day. Not only it being the first day of December, marking the last month of the year but it is also World AIDS Day. It is one of the most recognised international health days.  It’s the day dedicated to raising awareness of the AIDS pandemic caused by the spread of HIV infection. World AIDS Day this year is about “Getting to Zero.” Zero New HIV Infections. Zero Discrimination and […]

My first mall decor hunt this year landed me in Sunway Pyramid. With less than 30 days to Christmas, the mall’s buzzing with shoppers and bargain hunters. I quite like the decor in Sunway this year. If last year they have giant snow globe, this year they have the full package. Reindeer, robin, snowman.. you name it, they’ve got it! Joyful Christmas @ Sunway Pyramid This is how a hobbit like me view the Christmas […]

After the huge success in bringing Peter Pan and Magical Musicals to our shore @ Sunway Lagoon Amphitheatre, we are privileged to catch yet another West End production – Aladdin The Musical. We were there for the Gala Premiere and what can I say? After enjoying Peter Pan last Christmas and Magical Musicals back in June this year, I have got to say Aladdin the Musical is the BEST of them all! A timeless tale told […]

Better late than never aye? Hehe.. Earlier this month a number of us Nuffnangers and Churpers were invited to have teatime with the Nuffies and .. *do we call them Churpies?!* at Chatime Publika, Solaris Hartamas. Carol and Ethan at Eat Food Village Timothy Tiah and Audrey Tim asked me that million dollar question that day, “Who’s taller – Audrey or me?” Of course I am taller that evening as I had my super heels on while […]

By the time Ethan is old enough to drive, cars will be running on electric instead of fuel. He has already set his eyes on this particular car that has always been MY favourite! I’ve always pestered Darling to get me this with the reason that THIS might be the ONLY car that I will dare to drive as it suits my size perfectly but Darling always brushes me off saying that it is not […]

Darling was telling me about Happy Feet 2,  gushing on how cute it is and how we MUST bring Ethan go watch that. I was in front of the PC, nodding my head like as if I was listening to him =__= and then I saw THIS! Argh! MUST watch! I told Darling, “Shh.. shh… we watch THIS first!”  It’s going to be screened in 1Utama, my second home so Dai Dai oso must try […]

When I gave up my job to be a Stay At Home Mother, I almost grew cobwebs all over me. I was at home day in, day out without any interaction to the outside world. I got so jaded that I almost went crazy. Back then I did not even know what is the meaning of a BLOG or BLOGGING. My only time going online is to chat in MSN and Yahoo Messenger and mind […]

Thanx to Nuffnang, we get to catch The Adventures of TinTin in 3D on Wednesday in GSC Mid Valley, Megamall.

Today, heavily loaded with pain-killer, I made my way to B.yond IPTV Concept Store, No.5, Jalan Solaris 2, Ground Floor, Solaris Mont Kiara for IPTV Astro’s B.yond Hollywood and Celebrities night party. What party? Remember I blogged about it earlier? If you don’t, read about it here.  What to do, already promised earlier that I’ll be there, can’t cancel at the very last minute. This is what we call ethic :D So I made my […]

Halloween is just around the corner. Last year we had a blast celebrating Halloween in Singapore Night Safari. Never did we know that THAT would be the last of Singapore’s Night Safari Halloween Horrors ever for this year, everything came to an abrupt end when Wildlife Reserves Singapore decided to cancel its popular “Halloween Horrors” event at the Night Safari. Some 1,000 tickets were sold online for the month-long event, due to make its return […]

We went to Nuffnang office today. It took me 90 minutes to arrive as we were caught in a traffic snarl and the rain is not making it any better. But good oso-lah as I managed to get a good half hour nap in the car before Ethan woke me up from sheer boredom! :D Ethan and Timothy Each time I see Tim I can’t believe how YOUNG he is. Here he is, a young […]

*Sticky post 48 hours* Woot woot! I’m going to the Astro B.yond IPTV Hollywood & Celebrities Night happening on the 29 October 2011 @ B.yond IPTV Concept Store. But wait… what IS Astro B.yond IPTV?
