I love drinking sweet desserts. Apart from my favourite red bean with black glutinous rice dessert, my another all-time favourite is my mom’s Ginkgo Barley with Bean Curd Sheet. I’ve never boiled this myself because I’m just too lazy to shell and remove the ginkgo core. Here’s how my mom makes it: Ginkgo Barley with Bean Curd Sheet Ingredients: Barley Shelled Ginkgo with core removed. Bean Curd Sheet / Fu Chok. Make sure it’s the […]

When it comes to choosing a place to eat, there are 2 types of people in this world. One who will go to eateries with the longest queue and join the line and the other who will enter the almost empty eatery so he/she will get served immediately. The person who joins the longest queue does so because he believes it is worth queuing because there is good food waiting for him in there; hence […]

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 […]

Gorgeous Babe 1 – Gentleman 0

Six years ago I failed in my breastfeeding journey with Ethan. I blame it on my lack of knowledge and determination. Fast forward to present, I read (and try) everything possible to boost my milk supply so I can fully breastfeed Ayden. I learned the importance of direct latching as demand = supply. I also browsed the internet for lactating soups and consumes them regularly to keep myself well-nourished. One of the most popular milk […]

It’s the school holidays and that means having Ethan at home all day, all night, all week :D To keep him occupied, we did an artwork yesterday. We did a Hand and Footprint Sun. We used Ayden’s hand and footprint for our art. Ethan tracing Ayden’s handprint.  He then traced Ayden’s foot. Ayden admiring his footprint. I get Ethan to cut out the hand and footprints. And paste them. Finally, he drew a pair of […]

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.  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 […]

I’m a full time SAHM/Mommy Blogger. A friend once asked me what SAHM means. If you don’t already know, SAHM is the acronym for Superbly Attractive Hot Mom. Yep, that’s me! *handing out plastic bags for you to puke into* SAHM is a job with NO SALARY. Blogging helps me earn some pocket money through advertorials. Some ad jobs come easy as in I can just do it at home without lifting my butt and woolah […]

Ethan was involved in an accident in school recently. A student knocked into him at the staircase causing an injury to his head. The student (Year 5) carried Ethan into the office for initial treatment. The school’s person-in-charge then called Ethan’s father to take him for further check-up. The father brought him to our family doctor where his wound was checked and cleansed. I’m not sure if it was the doctor or the teacher who […]

Ethan had an accident in school not too long ago and injured his head, right? Yeah, so he was on MC the next day. We did some bubble wrap artwork to occupy our time. Ethan and Ayden, all ready for bubble wrap art! First, I loosely wrap Ayden’s feet with bubble wrap. Ayden getting all curious with his wrapped feet there. Hehe :D Next, Ethan painted both Ayden’s wrapped feet. The following step is the […]

I was privileged to be invited to attend the KOSÉ SEKKISEI Lotion Mask workshop @ Pavillion recently.   Being a tired second time mother to 6-month old Ayden, my skin is dull and dehydrated hence it was an evening of luxury as I got to try, feel, experience and be pampered with KOSÉ SEKKISEI Lotion Mask 10x Hydration that grants me translucent and whitening skin! KOSÉ’s bestselling skincare range We were first guided on removing our […]

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 […]

Ethan was on medical leave the other day and we got hungry but I realised we ran out of rice at home. I’ve not been cooking much lately so we don’t have much stuff stocked up at home. I checked and all we had was bread, egg and nori sheets. Bread, egg and nori sheets. What can we make out of them? We made sushi! Bread sushi to be exact…  Here’s how we made the cheat […]

Postpartum hair loss. How many of you suffered from it after delivering your baby? I had it, TWICE, both with Ethan and Ayden. This was what greeted me every morning. It scares the heck out of me as I really thought that I’ll be going bald. I confided in a friend about my worries and she gave me this hair growth recipe to try. She said it will help restore my crowning glory. Ingredients: 50g […]

As we marvelled at the beautiful fireworks decorating the sky ushering the new year 2014, we are in fact also welcoming new electric tariff. The new electricity tariff is now as high as the fireworks can go! My sleeping child Ayden, oblivious to the escalating standard of living surrounding him. If you’re friends with me on Facebook, you’ll know that I recently posted the picture of my ‘kaput-ed’ aircond in the master bedroom. Thank goodness […]

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 […]

Ethan’s in Primary One now. That means bringing homework home, artwork included. I can’t stand how his art paper always ended looking like salted vege (all crumpled) at the end of the day so I made him this the other day – a telescope art paper holder. I didn’t actually make a telescope initially. Just a normal paper holder but after a chat with my Whatsapp group friends, the idea of telescope came to mind.  […]

When it comes to books for babies, remember this ONE rule – wipeable. I always get glossy wipe clean books for babies. The reason being they won’t easily tear or clump when soaked with baby’s saliva and at the end of the day we can easily wipe them clean and keep them away.  I have this old book of Ethan’s that is not a wipe clean book. It’s a touch and feel book so I […]

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 […]

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 […]

Oh my goodness, I just realised I haven’t publish this post. It was supposed to be published last month but I’ve been so caught up with Chinese New Year Ang Pow lantern workshops that I absolutely forgotten to click PUBLISH! >_< My birthday was in December and I had a private birthday party in Philea Resort & Spa in my hometown, Malacca.  Some of my friends. I bet you can name some of them :D […]

 I tell you one thing. When I first saw a friend folding this towel for her baby, I have no idea that this is the famous lamb head towels that you see in Korean drama series. My idea of Korea is Psy’s Gangnam Style. That’s it. Only that. I’m not a K-pop fan or anything so you can understand my lack of intelligence in regards to that part of the world. But now I […]

Ever since Ethan was exposed to Muay Thai back in 2012, he has been dying to learn more but we never got to it. Ethan’s wish of learning some martial art finally materialised last weekend. He has been pestering us to let him join the taekwondo lessons held in our neighbourhood but we’ve been putting that off coz it is held at night in the open field. The idea of them learning taekwondo in the […]

Ayden has a hand-me-down friend, a caterpillar from big brother Ethan. They are not exactly the best buddies out there as the caterpillar doesn’t laugh at his jokes… And now we all know why :P

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 […]

Since the arrival of Ayden, I don’t have much time to spend in the kitchen anymore but I can’t stand eating out all the time so I try my best to prepare something convenient yet nutritious – soup. I am also fully breastfeeding Ayden so soup is one of the major milk booster for me. Today’s soup is the simplest of  the lot – Chinese Black Bean with Red Dates Chicken Soup. A popular soup […]

It’s been a while since we last spotted a nice playground to be featured in our ‘Best Playground’ series. We had previously featured the playgrounds in Pusat Sains Negara and Desa Park City in our blog. The playground we are featuring today is located at Setia EcoHill Park, Semenyih. The ParC, Setia EcoHill, Semenyih Ethan and most of the boys in the park love climbing here. While the older children hang around this cool looking ‘cage’. […]

Hello everybody! Gong Xi Fa Cai! How was your long break? Most of you should be back at work already right? We had such a blue time trying to get back to routine. Ethan almost did not want to go back to school. Let’s take a quick look back at my Chinese New Year celebration: My CNY started with a toss of octopus yee sang at my in-law’s. Chinese New Year ootd. Selfie before heading […]

We were at my parent’s place. While relaxing under the shady mango tree, Ayden saw a furry creature. I’ll let Ayden tell you the rest of the story … “So I was sitting on Grandma’s lap when this huge thing came to me. It definitely did not look like any of Mommy’s relative. It has two long ears on its head and a very funny looking face. It walks funny too. It’s like as if […]

My family loves tong sui. We love to drink a different tong sui every day of the week. It is believed having dessert soup daily helps to rejuvenate skin and promotes better complexion. Here, I’m sharing my tong sui recipe collection. Click on their respective links for full recipe. Apple Red Dates Tea The antioxidant compounds found in apples, help prevent LDL cholesterol from oxidizing and inhibit inflammation. Also, the soluble fiber in apples can lower bad cholesterol levels. […]

I miss blogging ah!!! These days I dont get to sit in front of my desktop anymore. My little koala is such an attention seeker he forbids me from trying to get any attention to myself :'( Ok so I’m doing the inevitable task of updating my blog via my fon coz koala is asleep but I cant go anywhere or he’ll wake up again >_< Sometimes I feel like squirting some milk on hanky […]

For the past couple of years (or maybe slightly more) I’ve not been making anything for Chinese New Year. I was always busy with Ang Pow decor workshops that I hardly have time to be in the kitchen. This year though, I tried making at least ONE snack and the chosen snack is non other than the simplest of the lot – Seaweed roll. Nori sheets, popiah skin and egg white. That’s all we need […]

Chinese New Year has come again and the year of the Horse shall be celebrated with full of energy among family and friends. Celebrate we did as we gathered at The Emperor Chinese Restaurant, Dorsett Grand Subang to indulge in their extensive and authentic Cantonese cuisine. There are choices of special delicacies from Emperor’s various set menus, traditional Yee Sang, dim sum feast and chef recommendations of A la carte dishes, specially catered until 14 […]

It all started from a conversation with Darling’s friend Victor who was planning to get a new car. He was talking to Darling about which executive saloon car should he get with a budget of RM140K-RM160K. Darling mentioned the likes of Camry and Accord but I found something more interesting! The Kia Optima launched in 2010 took the world by storm with its gorgeous styling. Now it is time for an update with the 2014 […]

Recently, Ayden always bite his lips and also suck his fingers. He’ll either bite or suck his lips. Am puzzled why is it so as Ethan doesn’t go through this stage. I posted the above picture on my FB and most of my friends said he might be teething with itchy gums except for one who cheekily said he’s like that because he wants my boobs (Joanna you know it’s YOU! :P) Anyway, we bought […]

Hello Hello! How was your long weekend? We hope you’ve had a great one. As for us, we spent our weekend recording Max Steel Ultra Blade and Max Steel Blade Attack review specially for you, our beloved readers :P Thanx to Mattel and Nuffnang, Ethan is now a proud owner of several Max Steel figurines. However, playing alone is no fun so he shared them with our neighbour’s kids. Look at the kids happily unboxing […]

Remember we were in Sunway Pyramid 2 weeks ago? Besides their beautiful CNY decor, they also have an archery booth. Ethan wanted to give it a try so Darling paid RM10 for 12 arrows. Ethan’s first time being Robin Hood :) The person in charge guiding Ethan on the proper way to handle the bow and arrow.  It was quite tough as this requires some strength.  Ethan placing the arrow on his own.  Propelling arrows […]

In exactly two weeks’ time we will be ushering the Year of the Wood Horse, saying goodbye to the Year of The Snake. According to the Chinese zodiac, people born in the Year of the Horse are active, energetic, charming and cheerful. Active, energetic, charming and cheerful is exactly what we got at Si Chuan Dou Hua Restaurant, PARKROYAL KL during our recent Chinese New Year dinner. Just look at the tea master pouring tea […]

I’ve always sang praises for One Utama’s festive decors. I’ve complimented them so much until certain parties thought that I’m working with their PR or something. I tell you, I have nothing with them ok? They don’t even invite me for their launches or anything eventhough I’ve supported them for so long *cries silently in a corner* This year as usual, I went mall hopping for the best Chinese New Year decor and 1U was […]

Though I’m a Malaccan I spent most of my growing up years in Sitiawan, Perak. Unlike my Peranakan parents, I am quite fond of the Fuzhou food there. I left Sitiawan for college in KL but my parents remained there. Each time I go back to Sitiawan, my mother will buy me a hot bowl of lu mien from the famous aunty in the market. I remember referring to her as “pasar aunty”. That was […]

about what guys are thinking. Do you agree with me that girls tend to jump into conclusion at times? I know coz I’m one of them… More often than not, what those guys are thinking about are really not worthy of our worries… serious :P

We were in Sunway Pyramid today and to our surprise, their Chinese New Year decor for the Horse year is already up! Okaylah, CNY is also less than a month away anyway…  Ethan and Ayden on a horse ride :P Haha. Kesian Ethan pulling a bullock cart! There are white horses too. Those horses look quite real that my eldest sister was fooled when she first saw them.  It is not Chinese New Year without […]

I direct latch Ayden. Means I do not pump out my milk for bottle feeding. That also means I will need to nurse him whenever we go out. I used to run to the nearest nursing rooms whenever we are out shopping but that is too troublesome as sometimes the nursing rooms are all occupied.  One fine day I braved myself to nurse in public using my shawl to cover him but I find it […]

With a blink on an eye, 2013 is coming to an end. The highlight of 2013 for me has got to be conceiving, delivering and bringing up Ayden. Yes, the arrival of Ayden shocked many readers out there as I did not announce my pregnancy prior to it. I’ve never explain why I kept quiet through it all yet and today I will. After Ethan, Darling and I wanted to space several years before trying […]

This Christmas Ethan had his wish come true. He received a wide range of Max Steel toys courtesy of Mattel and Nuffnang. It’s after Christmas so it’s time to unbox his toys and start playing. Today he shall play MAX STEEL™ Turbo Battlers™. These are special tops based on the new TV show Max Steel. Today’s battle is between Max Steel and Cytro. Each Turbo Battler comes with a ripcord and launcher.  Press the button and […]

First they give us then we can pass to you laaaaa…  We heard Santa dropped his bag full of toys at Nuffnang office recently so we made our way there to see if there is any left for us :D I don’t know what happened but Ayden disappeared from my arms the moment I stepped into the office. The next thing I know, these pretty ladies are all over him! Attracting older girls already huh, […]

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 […]

It’s Christmas eve and my little angel would like to take this opportunity to wish our precious readers a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! But you see, it can be pretty boring and lonely being alone this Christmas so we call on our readers and fellow blogger friends to share the Christmas Angels :) First of all there’s pretty angel Elie of www.cantuslupus.blogspot.com Elie ‘pretending’ to look angelic and all :P I […]

“Mommy says she cant carry me too much already, her arms hurt so she pushes me around in the house in my chick-magnet four eight-wheeler red Silver Cross Pop stroller. But can somebody tell Mommy that chicks no longer find Mickey Mouse attractive? Girls love ‘bad’ guys these days mommy.. No more cute stuffs for me!” – Ayden Yeow Yeah so that’s what I do these days. At over 6kg, I can’t be carrying him all […]

“A birthday CARD! NOT an e-card! Fuh” I received a birthday card from Nuffnang yesterday. I don’t know about you but the last I received anything from snail mail was aeon ago so it is NICE to finally receiving something physical! Of course it is also nice to know that Nuffnang took the extra effort to make their bloggers feel extra special <3 But somebody made a bit of a fuss demanding for his own […]

Year end means Y.E.S! Y.E.S means Year End Sales everywhere and boyfriends or husbands all around the world have no choice but to say YES when the other half wants to shop. But fret not you cheapskate men out there as here’s a way you can wiggle yourself out of trouble… Bare in mind though that YOU MUST MAINTAIN MACHO AT ALL TIMES or she wins! 

I did it! I finally did it! Ayden is fully on breastmilk now! I know, I know, it’s a bit late but late is better than never, right?  My breastfeeding journey isn’t a smooth one. With Ethan I was determined to breast feed him but because I was ill-prepared and lacking in knowledge, I failed miserably. I only managed to mix feed up to 3 months old and then I dried up :'( I regretted […]

I remember back in 2011, Darling, Ethan and I spent an unforgettable weekend at Philea Resort & Spa, Ayer Keroh Melaka. Back then we stayed in their Pavilion Room. You can read all about it here. Last weekend, we went back there again to have an early birthday celebration but I shall blog more about that later as I am more excited to share how romantic it was this time our stay in their Philea […]

Woke up to get that email. I don’t usually read anything that has more than 5 words in it so by the time I reach the end of that mail I was like, “wth just happened?!” When things like this happens to my blog, I always ask for help from one person and one person only and everyone who knows me knows that the psychic behind my blog is Kimmy. And guess what? Seriously that […]

Christmas is just around the corner and if you are looking for a lovely place with warm, delicious meal to have your dinner on Christmas eve and Christmas day, head over to Dorsett Grand Subang for their delectable buffet spread of Roast Tom Turkey with all the fixings, to Homemade Hickory Smoked Mussels, Roasted Australian Prime Rib, a pizza station and a live action station for Crepe. Christmas Eve and Christmas Day buffet at the […]

What’s wrong with me? This is my second home yet I have not blogged about their Christmas decor. I’m sorry. Sometimes we take for granted things that are close to us >_< So it’s all about rocking horses and hot air balloons this year.  Up, up and away!  Though I love their decor, I don’t seem to get the FEEL of Christmas …  Flying rocking horse. Rocking horses took over reindeers! I wonder what those […]

It’s 11.12.13 and all over my Facebook newsfeed I see people saying how special it is. Honestly speaking, what’s so special about it? It is a state holiday though but I spent half of the day at home recuperating from vomiting that started the night before. In the midst of vomiting I can still joke with Darling saying I might be pregnant again. Ethan who was listening exclaimed, “NO!!!! Ayden alone is ENOUGH!!!” >_< Anyway, […]

It’s the most wonderful time of the year and just like previous years, I’ll go mall hopping looking for the best Christmas decor in town. The Christmas decorations in the malls in the Klang Valley are mostly mediocre this year. Nothing to make you gasping, “WOW”! Anyway, here’s the decor at the Curve. Kids will love the gigantic candies on the Christmas trees and the colourful buildings.  The Curve’s most wonderful time of the year… […]
