1 January 2012 had been awesome. We met up with Darling’s friends and went for Steamboat at Ho Ho Steamboat, Kota Damansara. One of Darling’s friend suffered a burn on his wrist after my hot spoon accidentally touched his hand while he was trying to scoop out some noodles and his reflex caused the soup to splash all over his wrist :( He remembered reading something about treating burns using egg white so we did […]

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 […]

LoL! I was playing Hide n Seek with Ethan today when it was HIS turn to HIDE. After saying, “Ready or not, here I come!” I went around the house only to see THIS! Hahahahaha! It’s exactly like the fiction ‘Why Ostriches Bury Their Heads in Sand’! Just because he can’t see me, he thinks I can’t see him too? Muahahahhahaha… too cute this boy!

Was in Jusco after dinner the other day with Ethan when he saw this: It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to know that boys LOVE rockets! So when Ethan saw that Honey Stars now comes in new ROCKET shape, he pestered me to get that for him. Apa boleh buat, since he loves cereals I see no harm in getting him this as I usually get him the normal Honey Stars anyway. But when I […]

Was talking to Ethan last night before we slept. Told him that one day he’ll grow up, find a job of his own. Get a wife and have cute little babies with her. He looked at me with the most horrified look on his face and said, “Will I still be staying with U?” I said, “Most probably not as you’ll want to be with your wife then.. “ He said, “Then I don’t wanna […]

It’s almost a wordless post this is. Was in 1U when Ethan suddenly hopped inside that ‘hole’ and requested me to photograph him! I took out my iPhone 4 and started snapping… :) :P Peace! :D That’s the use of my iPhone4, for moments like this! I heard iPhone4s has better camera! I SO MUST GO GET IT! -.-

We did not go anywhere after Ethan’s class today. It was raining on and off the entire day that I got so lazy to go out. We stayed home and did sand art instead. Sand art can be rather messy so I got him to take off his shirt and pants. He still has his underwear ON okay? :P My neck went stiff *not forgetting the sore butt* after sitting there with him the entire hour […]

Ethan loves Cars. His favourite is Lightning McQueen. He has 2 Lightning McQueen bags. 1 water tumbler. Numerous pants and tees, puzzles and lots more. Today, on a lazy Sunday morning, I added another McQueen into his collection – Pyssla Beads Lightning McQueen :D I found a YouTube tutorial for Lightning McQueen here and made some modification to suit us best. Lightning McQueen before ironing Lightning McQeen after ironing :D

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 […]

*Sticky post 48 hours* It’s a must for me to have a mug of hot drink each night while I work on the computer. More often than not my choice of drink is simply warm milk. It helps me sleep better at night. Tonight, as I am working on my PC, I looked at my mug of warm milk and started thinking. I’ve been drinking milk for as long as I can remember. I remembered […]

Ever since Ethan was born, I have been his barber. Four years without ever going to the barber for a haircut until today. I asked Ethan if he would like to have his hair cut by someone else besides me and straightaway he said, “YES!” I did not expect that at all.. I thought he would say NO. Call me bad but my immediate response was, “then you don’t want Mommy to cut your hair […]

Darling got me something today. At RM31.90 each I’d be angry too! But okay lagi lah as the quality is much better than those pasar malam ones. Anyway, since he has the heart to get me that, I’d better give him some face and wear it for the world to see. So ladies and gentlemen, without further ado, here’s presenting…. my pair of very ANGRY BOOBS! >_< He definitely ain’t getting any of those boobs today! Take a hint Darling, lingerie dear, LINGERIE! […]

I’m so HAPPY! I finally found a pair of open toe pumps that comes in size 3, MY size! Yeay! The hobbit can HAS shooooooe! That is the result of being out of the house the ENTIRE day! I went out in the morning to send Ethan to class and shopped around Giza for shoes but nothing suits me. Went to 1U with Ethan after his class and after hours and hours of wandering around […]

GERAM! No matter what I do, nasal spray kah, multi-vitamin kah, Clarinase kah, hot drinks kah, sexercise and lots of bedminton kah… I’m still sniffling! *the last part was just to test you if you are really paying attention and reading my post instead of just browsing through it and dropping comments* :P As long as there is a change of temperature; from the comfort and warmth of my house to the air-conditioned car – I’ll […]

Ethan loves playing with building blocks. LEGO is too expensive so I bought him FACO instead. He loves it nevertheless so.. :D He can really sit there for hours counting and building according to the picture given and try making up his own creation from time to time. Let’s see what he did with the building blocks shall we? Alligator building blocks Reindeer Sea Lion Camel.. on wheels? >_

I made this for Ethan’s snack today. I call this roti bakar ‘Butter Toast’ as what I did was spread butter on bread and toast it on a hot pan. Sprinkled some sugar on top and yummeh out came the most unhealthy snack ever!! It’s not the same as toasting plain bread in a toaster and spreading butter after it tossed out of the toaster. I don’t like that. I like toasting buttered bread on […]

This is the continuation to our amazing 6th Anniversary Getaway courtesy of Holiday Inn Kuala Lumpur Glenmarie. After enjoying the awesome room and splendid time splashing in the beautiful pool we got rather hungry. We hurried back to our room for a quick shower before heading to The Mix for our dinner.

So what if Justin Bieber has a street in Texas renamed after him just because an 11 year old girl became Mayor for a day? I have my own street too and mind you, it is not located at ANY chaplang area but one of the most high-profile residency in Singapore. Merryn Road is located in Bukit Timah Singapore. Bukit Timah is considered the most expensive district in Singapore. Don’t play play. How often do you get […]

1/11/11 is the 1st birthday of VinSen’s first born child, Jerred. We celebrated his birthday at Fullhouse, Sunway Giza. Jerred seems to say, “I’m cute and I know it!” :P The tiger baby is dressed up in a tiger suit (with matching TIGER helium balloons!). CUTE max! Rosella Spaghetti for Ethan Smoothies-Fruities Fish for me :) Grilled Mix Seafood for Darling As usual, watermelon juice for Ethan The guests Ethan and Jerred It’s amazing that […]

I’ve been unwell lately. Last night I slept for a total of 11 hours straight! That is extremely rare I tell you. After tucking Ethan to bed I fell asleep immediately. Darling woke me up to ask if I wanna blog but I just can’t open my eyes and told him, “NO, my head’s too heavy” and continued sleeping until the next day. My throat hurts badly that swallowing saliva oso pain :( I breathe […]

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 […]

22 October 2011. It’s our 6th Wedding Anniversary today! :D It all started with that ice-skating outing with my colleagues and Darling (then my superior) pretending not knowing how to skate and there I was taking advantage of the situation to hold his hand and skate together :D So I thought he was pretending but now I know he really CAN’T skate! And I thought he was enjoying my flirting with him only to know […]

I kenot cook but I can make wicked sandwiches. They don’t name me Submerryn Sandwich for NOTHING! *okay so they call me the Yellow Submarine and not Submerryn Sandwich, but let’s not talk about that today… :P* Submerryn’s Signature Tuna Sandwich Did I tell you that I love fish? Yeah I know.. like for the millionth’ time :D So easy ni-lah. The Submerryn always use short-cut in her life. To make the famous Submerryn Signature […]

After the last update of Ethan reading 30 characters @ 1 month in BaoBei Reading Wonderland, here’s another update. Today, 2.5 months after attending BaoBei, Ethan brought home another 42 word cards. Add that to the previous 30 word cards, he can now read a total of 72 characters just 2.5 months after attending BaoBei. Needless to say, I’m impressed. Unlike the previous 30 characters where I am able to master all of them after […]

67 years ago on the 11 of October, an awesome baby was born. Today, that awesome baby is even more awesome as my DADDY! Happy Birthday Daddy! My Daddy is 67 years old today but according to Ethan, Grandpa is 13 years old! LoL! He counted how many candles and there were 13 so.. okay! :P Panjang, panjang umur Daddy :) So ngam the entire family members were back in Malacca last weekend to celebrate […]

What is the ONE make-up item that you can’t live without? Okay to be fair, EVERYONE needs a good foundation so that won’t count here. Besides foundation, what other make-up item you MUST have in your make-up kit? As for me, other than a good long lasting mascara, I like to dust a hint of blusher or bronzer before going out. I said a HINT of blusher, not painting the entire face RED! o.O I […]

It’s close to 3am and I’m still awake waiting for my hair to dry. Just HAD to wash all those hair spray away. It’s been an exciting day today. Look who came for a visit today? Yeah.. Jonathan is in da house! :D From the Studio, had a quick lunch and then rushed back to Malacca only to be caught in a horrible, HORRIBLE jam! We were like not moving for more than an hour so I started to apply make-up […]

I was at Wacoal Let’s Pink event @ 1Utama today for the launching of its 2011 Pink Ribbon Campaign to promote breast cancer awareness. One of the highlights during the launch is the Let’s Pink catwalk… Okay, so after seeing the models looking so sweet and pretty in pink I started to wonder, how do they DO that? Yeah you know what I mean.. They wear it so good don’t they? So I visited one […]

Last weekend I was back in my in-laws place. My SIL cooked some kind of long bean dish that Ethan loved so much he alone ate almost half of it. Nvm… Then guess what? Darling had to ask Ethan who is the better cook? My SIL or ME? And Ethan answered, “Kuku…” (which also means my SIL-lah). You know who was the happiest then? No prize for guessing.. yeah.. my MIL! It’s no secret I’m […]

I brought Ethan to Smaland, Ikea again yesterday. Yeah, it’s like his playground now. We go there like every other day! *okay for those of you who doesn’t know what is Smaland, read my previous post about it here* Yet until today, I still don’t leave him there and go shopping. I still sit outside and go online from my iPhone. So sometimes when I see him dangling from inside like the picture above, I’ll […]

*Sticky post for 48 hours* Since we first got introduced to Trudy & Teddy’s apparel somewhere in April this year, we’ve been a die-hard fan! If you noticed, Ethan has been wearing T&T to many events that we have attended this year. Reason being not only is Trudy & Teddy a stylish apparel for my little vain pot, it is also ultra comfortable. Another obvious reason is also because he won the Little Best Dresser […]

After exactly ONE month attending BaoBei (week long school holidays deducted) Ethan brought home 30 word cards today. One look at them and already I shook my head thinking how on Earth would he be able to read all those? BaoBei word cards But surprise, surprise! Ethan took out those word cards and read them to me effortlessly! Watch this video of him reading those cards! That is Ethan’s progress in exactly ONE month. Just […]

My professional manicure done at home in under 5 minutes :D As a homemaker and a craftier, I always end up with ugly nails. I can never grow them long enough without chipping. I can never grow them long as they’ll be in the way of my work. So I have to live with ugly nails… @_@ Fake nails I was at a pharmacy today and saw some amazing set of fake nails but they […]

We saw a carton box lying idle at the corner of the room and wondered if we can do anything with it.. So we cut them open Lay them flat and taped them together Next we spread glue all over the box And covered the box with brown paper I helped Ethan cut some black foams and he pasted them as roads Ethan painting a toilet paper roll blue. It is later used as a […]

Trying to get over the Tiger Mom episode, let’s look at some happier moments :D Look at how happy the lil’ one is with the BIG one… 1,2,3.. GO!!! Faster Daddy, faster! Weeeeee! It’s a bird, it’s a plane, it’s SUPERMAN! Human mop? :P Smile – A simple act, but sometimes takes a lot of effort. A smile can cause boundaries to melt, hearts to warm up, and distances to reduce… I <3 U

It has been a rough day today. Little events lead to some big explosions.. He’s asleep now and when I reflected on today’s event I felt like an arse. Why was I being so demanding? Let me tell you what happened.. It started with him stringing these beads. So cute isn’t he? There we were, happily stringing. He string one and I string another. We then count how many beads we each have. But unlike […]

Since we were surrounded by cats and dogs over the past few days in my hometown, Ethan has requested to have a pet of his own too. I will definitely NOT agree to having a cat nor a dog at home for I kinda dislike them. Sorry to all cats and dogs lovers out there. I thought of getting him a turtle but… He rather have rats! Of course I won’t agree to getting him […]
