Peek-a-boo Haze
How many of you realised Monday’s strange phenomenon? Yes we all know the dreaded HAZE is back but on Monday, it was playing peek-a-boo with us wasn’t it? Throughout the day it came and go as it wishes. Come evening I got so frustrated as I was getting ready for my daily walk in the park but this blardy HAZE kept wanting to play with me. When I opened the door to check, the air […]

My Kind of Breakfast
Wanna see what I eat every weekday? Well I say weekday because weekends I tend to relax and eat a totally different kind of food. Actually weekends are for me to let go and indulge in anything and everything I feel like eating (such as nasi lemak, roti canai and the whole works) while weekdays are more of clean eating for me (but not overnight oats). So here’s what you’ll usually see on my breakfast […]

Shopping for clothes after pregnancy
Since giving birth to Ayden I’ve not gone shopping for clothes for the most obvious reason – fat. Those extra flabs will just ruin any nice outfit hence I always resorted to baggy tee and ah pek pants. Another factor is bcoz I am breastfeeding so my choice of clothes are usually based on how easily my boobs are accessible by the baby ( not the Daddy, Daddy needs to find a new hobby ). […]

Nipple Confusion: REAL vs FAKE
When it comes to titty (either of two soft fleshy milk-secreting glandular organs on the chest of a woman) you just cant fool them. They know the real ones from the many ‘commercialised’ ones out there. I gave Ayden a new toy to play with yesterday and he suckled on it thinking they are my titties but he soon came to his senses…

Mozzies… Gah!
Had a rough time trying to sleep last night. There was this annoying mozzie that kept buzzing in my ear. I hate mozzies and I believe they can sense that in me. The more I shoo them away, the louder they shout at my eardrum. Their ringing buzzing sound is worse than a nagging wife. Not that I nag la, am referring to other nagging wives in general. Darling has got to count his lucky […]

One City Skypark rooftop
The first time I set foot in One City was in January. We went to their Skypark and was amazed at their see-through glass floor. Ethan and friends trying to capture what it looks like from the glass roof. From the roof top, this is what we saw when we look down. We are 10 levels up and only supported by a double layered glass floor. This is not for the faint hearted! We went […]

Submarine Museum, Malacca
One fine day, I saw pictures of my cousin’s hubby and son visiting a submarine. Well, I’ve seen them visiting helicopters, ships and all and kept thinking how nice if Ethan gets to see all those for real and then I saw the SUBMARINE and totally lose it. Â You can imagine my excitement! I’ve never seen a real submarine in my life! It’s only fair that this Submerryn gets to see and touch a real […]

The Cause of Power Failure
We experienced a sudden power failure last Monday. Just when everyone is busy storing water for the water rationing exercise, we are left in the darkness. By ‘we’ I meant my house and my house alone. Our neighbours still have lights and water. We have water but no light :( Our neighbours are all very kind though. 1Malaysia  spirit all the way! Whatever color also come out to help us check what’s the problem. We […]

When Mommy Is the Barber
Just like with Ethan, I cut Ayden’s hair too. I started cutting Ethan’s hair since he was 3 months onwards but with Ayden I started really early. I trimmed his hair shortly after fullmoon. I used the exact same yellow Bumboo chair that Ethan used for Ayden now. Ayden however, unlike Ethan, is more difficult to handle. Ethan will sit still and quietly let me cut his hair but Ayden is terrible! He refused to […]

Hit and Run
Yesterday evening we went to fetch Ethan from school. Darling parked his car by the roadside and walked to the school while Ayden and I waited in the car. I was singing to Ayden when I heard a loud bang and a sudden jolt. I looked up to see a car sped off. I quickly took down the registration number. My heart was pumping so hard it felt like it was going to explode. With […]

Dry Spell
What do we call the phenomenon that is currently affecting the Klang Valley? Do we call it drought? Or dry spell? I wanted to use the term ‘dry spell’ but a check at urban dictionary states that dry spell is to go for a period of time (usually longer than shorter) without something; sex, drugs etc. Yikes! I’m certainly NOT talking about abstinence from sex! :-D In that case I think we’ll use the term […]

My birthday bash @ Philea Resort & Spa, Malacca
Oh my goodness, I just realised I haven’t publish this post.

When the aircond died…
It has been more than a couple of days now that the aircond in our master bedroom went kaput. Since it kaput-ed on a weekday, there is nothing much we can do. We cant get the aircond guy to come over oso coz Darling wont be in and I never, ever let a stranger into the house without William’s presence. So the next best thing to do is to ‘shift’ into the guest room. It […]

Stupid mother…
Christmas is over. That means my birthday is drawing closer. Ethan told me he has a surprise waiting for me. Oooooo.. The suspense! I told him I dont need a present on my birthday. What I really need is TEN minutes a day in front of my PC to dust my blog. It has cobwebs growing around it already. Just ten minutes is all I’m asking for… I think I hurt hi m so much […]

How To Lose Post Pregnancy Weight … Fast!
With Ethan I lost my post pregnancy weight quite quickly. I was 40kg before I got pregnant and just before delivery I was 55kg. Okay, maybe I did not lose those weight as fast as I thought I did. It was just that back then I wasn’t active in social media hence I did not need to meet people often so I can just hide in my shell until I get back my pre-pregnancy figure. […]

Our Cutie Pie
Haha PERASAN betul! Come on, which parents don’t think that their anak is CUTE? *blush* It has been 5 days since the arrival of my second son and I still can’t believe how similar he is to Ethan. Every single inch of him looks exactly the same as Ethan. Even their hair is similar up to their long sideburn! Anyway, I still don’t have much time to sit down and blog as I am supposed […]

My unexpected Merdeka Baby!
Hello! I’ve been away unexpectedly as my baby decided to pop out 3 weeks earlier into this world. See, my ‘watermelon’ is not supposed to be born yet… Just on Friday, 30 August 2013, I was at my sister’s place as my parents were in town for a wedding the next day. As usual, whenever my mother comes to town, she’ll cook up a storm for us. I was happily eating with every single family […]

Shell Select Doraemon & Friends Collection
I guess it’s safe to say that the McD Minion craze is over and done with? Darn those kiasu people, now Ethan can’t just purchase any McD toy without buying the Happy Meal set anymore. We used to be able to just drive through and ask for a toy at RM3 and drive away but not anymore. We have to order a Happy Meal now no matter what toy is selling… We were in my […]

How to wash pillows
Howdy peeps! I’ve ONE question to ask – Do you WASH your pillows? The weather is extremely hot these days, well at least to ME it IS hot! I sweat each time I take my afternoon nap and sometimes at nights too (even with the air-cond switched ON). Was joking with Darling that I’m experiencing menopause already! >_< I do wash our pillows periodically. The thing is, I can only fit in ONE pillow at […]

Ain’t No Weather Bringing Me Down
It was a wet weekend wasn’t it? Luckily we still managed to slot in two swimming sessions right after the rain or it would have been a very boring long weekend. On Friday just as we were about to enter the car to go swimming, it started to drizzle and then rain. I quickly grabbed my brand NEW ‘money can’t buy’ umbrella that I got from Nuffnang. I’ve never used it so I did not […]

Birthday dinner @ Happy City Seafood Steamboat
It was Darling’s birthday over the weekend so I told him that Ethan and I will treat him to dinner but with one condition – HE’s paying! LoL! I guess all Stay At Home Mothers do that, don’t we? Whatever it is, it is HIS money that will be paying :P He asked me what I wanted to eat and I said STEAMBOAT! We went to this newly opened steamboat outlet in Dataran Sunway called […]

THE Special Birthday Cake
July is a good month as both Darling and Ethan were born in this special month. Their birthdays are exactly a week apart and it’s good because we get to eat cake celebrate TWICE! Unlike previous years where I always failed to get a cake for Darling (coz I don’t drive and each time I requested for him to drive me to the bakery he’ll conveniently ignore) this year I managed to get one for […]

This past few days have been extremely hot during the day and then suddenly it pours heavily come evenings. The sudden change of weather is causing havoc to my system as it is messing with my mind!

Personal Space
I appreciate my personal space in public especially when I’m on the escalator. Whenever I get onto the escalator I’ll always stand two steps behind the person in front of me but in the case of a super crowded escalator such as those in KLCC I’ll just take ONE step back but I’ll never, ever stand NEXT to a stranger on an escalator. To me, that is invasion of privacy. That is why I get […]

How do you take your medications?
When you get sick, what are your preferred choice of medication? Since young, I am very bad at swallowing pills. I get car sick each time we traveled from Lumut to Melaka. Back then I was as young as Ethan and I had to take ‘travelling pills’ to stop me from throwing up during the journey. My mother had to ‘break’ the pills into powdery form and that actually makes it even worse as the […]

How do you deal with a school bully?
It has been Ethan’s dream to attend preschool since he found out his other friends are also attending it. We had no choice but to give in and let him experience what Kindergarten is all about. I thought since Ethan is already doing well academically, the more important factor of preschool is to socialize hence I did not bother to go for any ‘branded franchise’ kind of Kindy but to just enroll him into the […]

We only got together the night before to work out on what could […]

Childhood memories: Blowing Bubble Balloon
When I was younger, there was no iPad or whatever Pad to entertain me. One of my favourite activities was cycling and I always cycled to the nearest sundry shop to get this: Blowing Balloon in a tub that smells like glue. Anybody remembers this? During the Chinese New Year holidays, we introduced this to Ethan. I squeezed it out for him and let him blow through the straw. Blow he did and he enjoyed […]

The one behind the wheels
The first thing I did after my SPM was to get my driver’s license and as soon as I got it, I moved out to KL for college. That was the end of my driving story. I get panicky each time I am behind the wheels and my legs will go wobbly. Imagine there was once a short stint where I was working in the Sales team WITHOUT being able to drive! My superior had […]

That is the question most women have in their mind before or soon after finding out that they are pregnant. I am the youngest in my family and never liked kids. However, a year into my marriage I strongly believe I was ready to be a mother. My definition of being a mother is getting pregnant, giving birth to the baby and handing it over to my parents who lives in another state. I promise […]

Taman Hijau was our very own Wisteria Lanes… My family moved out of Taman Hijau when I was in college to resettle in their […]

Darling and I have been together for almost 15 years now. Throughout these 15 years he has never, EVER heard me fart! Seriously! There are so many things I can do in front of him but the ONE thing I won’t do in his presence is farting. Really. Why should I when the art of farting has no sex appeal whatsoever? It doesn’t hold any advantages and worse is it just pollutes the air so […]

His new WALL
Remember my sufferings when Ethan decided to upgrade his study/play room into something more ‘mature’? My fingers all blistered from the peeling of the double layered tapes off the wall. Read all about it here. After days of endless peelings I finally gave up and told Darling to go ahead with the new paint eventhough there are still lots of sticky residues left on the wall. So these two macho topless guys got started with […]

How to remove sticky residues off wall?
I set this room up when Ethan was little. It is filled with cute, colorful and educational wall stickers and posters. That was 5 years ago. Several days ago, Ethan said he has outgrown cute and colorful stuffs. Suddenly I felt my boy has grown so much! He asked if we could reinvent this room. I was stunned for a moment, unsure what to answer him. After thinking for some time, I agreed. Ethan is […]

I was spring cleaning my house today.

NEVER did I imagine when the washing machine sings its usual tune signalling that my laundry is done, I’ll be facing the BIGGEST mess ever! I was greeted with THIS! Gel-like substance flowing out […]

Wrap your precious one with the softness of Comfort Ultra Pure
When it comes to beauty, we always wish to have skin as smooth as a baby’s. But do you know that baby’s skin is thinner, more sensitive and less oily than an adult’s. They are more prone to rashes and other skin condition. That’s the reason why we are encouraged to apply baby oil onto our new born’s delicate skin; to moisturise and keep them comfortable. Ethan is no longer a baby but his skin […]

I don’t like to use the peeler as I’ll end up wasting a thick chunk of skin and flesh […]
