Ethan’s school had recently held a briefing for parents whose children will be sitting for the UPSR exam this September. The aim of the talk is to brief parents on the latest UPSR format so we can guide our children better during revision time with them. While it is tougher today to sit for UPSR as the questions can be more challenging, with the right guidance and support, it is not impossible for our children […]

I’m so thankful Ethan has been under the guidance of one of the greatest drum teacher out there since he was 5 years old until today. He has grown so much under this teacher’s guidance and is now comfortable playing commercial songs.  Ethan’s school teacher requested for him to cover the song FADED by Alan Walker so here it is: Do you have any song you want to see Ethan cover? Do let us know […]

The boys and I love to eat eggs. I love half boiled eggs but they prefer hard boiled ones. The thing about hard boiled eggs is we need to peel the shell before we can eat them unlike half boiled eggs where I can just crack the top open to eat it. Luckily for me, I’ve never had trouble peeling the shell of hard boiled eggs though some of the people I know can’t freaking […]

Ayden is finally in preschool this year. This means I have 4 hours of daily free time on weekdays. I did not feel much change in my routine earlier this year as I was busy rushing to complete customers’ orders of my Chinese New Year cookies. Reality sank in after the Chinese New Year holidays when both the boys returned to school. I was left with FOUR hours of FREEDOM a day by myself. FOUR […]

With most business being done digitally, we may think that business cards don’t matter anymore but we might be wrong. Not only is our first impression important, but business cards provide our tangible information for others to refer to later should they decide they want our product or service. Even with email, LinkedIn and Facebook, people still expect you to have a business card. It shows professionalism. Our business card is a physical object that potential clients can take with them. […]

We recently found a children friendly cafe in Bangsar. As we enter the premise, the area on our left is set-up specially for families with children while on our right is a chick and instagrammable area for youngsters or couples or anyone without kids.  I shall focus on the family area as we were seated here throughout our dinner last Saturday but before that, do watch this video of the comfortable family area and delectable food […]

Little Ayden attends preschool in the afternoon session this year. That means I have to cook a quick yet wholesome lunch for him before he heads to school. I usually have less than an hour to dish out a complete meal so whatever is quick works best.  Ayden loves mushrooms. Shimeiji mushrooms is one of his favourite. There are many ways to cook this mushroom but I always stick to this one on week days […]

The kindergarten Ayden goes to has thematic learning whereby they focused on one particular theme for the entire month. The theme for February is All About Myself and the first thing he learned was how a person is ‘created’. His teacher told stories about how Daddies will eject many swimming champions that look like tadpoles yet are not really tadpoles and how they raced with all their might to reach the ‘egg’ from the Mommies. […]

As a stay at home mom to two active boys, I don’t have much time for myself hence you don’t see me dolled up often. I am at home most of the time too so all the more no reason for me to dress up to the nines. However, I do get the opportunity to go out and meet people every once in a while and this is my golden opportunity to put my best […]

It has been 3 months since I did Ultherapy. I see obvious lifting of the skin on my cheeks and jawline, as well as below chin/upper neck area. My side profile is sharper without loose skin under the chin. Since my previous blog post on my Ultherapy procedure, I’ve received numerous questions from curious readers. I’ll address them all here in this post today. Why Ultherapy? Why not just consume collagen? Our body makes collagen […]

Chinese New Year is less than a week away. It is time for feasting and catching up with our extended family members again. Time has changed with more and more families opting to eat out instead of slaving in the kitchen for days just to prepare for the reunion dinner. Even eating out has evolved in one way or another with diners now showing preference to have a buffet style reunion meal as opposed to […]

Sorry if I have been ‘missing’. I am overwhelmed with my meat floss piglet orders. In order for me to meet demand, I have to bake from sunrise to sunset leaving no time whatsoever to blog or even browse Facebook. It is expected though as it is the last weekend before people start heading back to their hometown. Anyway, I have two new DIY Chinese New Year Angpow decor tutorial videos up this year. They […]

It has been raining the past few days, hasn’t it? We were just leaving Eko Cheras Mall recently when it looked like it was going to pour. As we were hungry and did not want to get trap with growling stomach in the traffic if it rains, we decided to just drive to the opposite of the road to this new hotpot place in town. It is called Steamboat Factory. No 19 & 21, Jalan […]

In a little over 2 weeks, we are going to usher in the lunar new year. Have you make your Chinese New Year reunion dinner reservations? I heard most restaurants and hotels are already almost fully booked. Time has certainly changed. If over a decade ago Klang Valley can be quite deserted during festive seasons, these days more and more people choose to celebrate right here in the city. To celebrate the year of the […]

The year 2019 is the year to visit my beautiful hometown, Melaka. Visit Melaka 2019 aims to attract local tourists as well as those from abroad to visit and stay longer in Melaka. The UNESCO World Heritage Site is the heart of Melaka. You have not seen Malacca unless you’ve spend your time exploring the many places of interests here. It is a favourite amongst tourists and for that very same reason, this area is always […]

It’s that time of the year again to get the boys to help me in the kitchen churning out delectable cookies for the upcoming Chinese New Year. After all the slogging in the kitchen, the boys got a well-deserved break to sample Eight-Treasure Yee Sang at Four Points by Sheraton Puchong.

We will be welcoming the Year of the Boar in just a little less than a month. What used to be a wish for wealth and prosperity, we now wish others good health and happiness followed by a prosperous new year as we see the importance of health over wealth. Chinese New Year is also a time for giving; whether in the form of the popular traditional red packet filled with money or in the […]

Ayden experienced 3 days of kindy last week. It is his first time attending preschool. He is the only one in his class without a uniform as the rest of the children are existing students in that school since last year or maybe a couple of years before. I decided to send him to a year of kindergarten to let him experience sports day as well as graduation concert as he will be going to […]

It is the first day of school. Many young children are attending school for the very first time. To some of these children, it may be the first time they are separated from their parents. They may experience fear or anxiety when being parted from their parents or carers. I was a teacher before giving up my job to be a stay at home mom. Let me share with you my fair share of experience on […]

We were back in Melaka a couple of weeks ago. 2019 is Visit Melaka Year hence we decided to have a head start and be tourists in my own beautiful hometown. We brought my parents for an evening ride on the Melaka River Cruise. We also brought the boys to view Melaka from a bird’s eye view from Menara Taming Sari. Last but not least, you’ll need to catch Encore Melaka at least once when […]

10 minutes drive from Patong and right across Karon Beach, we are back at Novotel Phuket Karon Beach Resort and Spa after two years! We were here a couple of years ago and loved how family friendly this resort is that it prompted us to return when we decided to revisit Phuket last month. Refreshing welcome drink upon arrival. First thing first, we hopped onto the hotel’s complimentary buggy and driven past the hotel’s main […]
