During our stay in Awana Kijal Golf, Beach and Spa Resort, the staffs there kept on raving about a certain fish snack called satar. They kept asking us if we’ve tried it. Honestly speaking, I’ve never heard of such a snack. When I knew I am going to Terengganu, the first thing that came to mind is keropok lekor and nasi dagang but definitely not satar as I am not even aware of its existence. […]

Staying in Awana Kijal Golf, Beach and Spa Resort is so much fun. The resort itself is filled with activities to keep you occupied but if you wish to explore out of the resort, you can visit their Fun & Adventure counter and choose the countless activities most suitable for you. During our 3D/2N stay here, we opt to experience their Kampung Tour (Village Tour). One of the activities included in the Kampung Tour is […]

During our 3D/2N stay in Awana Kijal, Golf, Beach & Spa Resort, we signed up for the Kampung Tour. One of the activities arranged for Kampung Tour is a visit to the Turtle Sanctuary in Cherating Pahang.  Let’s take a look:  Turtle Sanctuary and Information Centre Chendor Beach A nice traditional ‘home’ that houses turtles. There is no fee charged to enter but you can donate for the upkeeping and conservation of turtles. We got excited […]

You know back when you were dating, some of you might have bought couple tees  that compliment each other? It’s like a jigsaw puzzle piece, the tee won’t be complete unless the other half is wearing his/hers. It was like a statement to tell the world that he/she is YOURS? Well, Darling and I were never in that phase during our courting days but as we grow into our  seventh years of marriage, we are […]

Yes I know, another piano lesson post. Bare with me as I’m keeping his milestone as remembrance and for future reference :D Since Ethan started piano lessons 28th of last month, he has been playing the piano first thing when he wakes up in the morning, in the afternoons when he gets home from BaoBei, in the evenings after playground and at nights before he goes to bed. He loves it that much. He has […]

I was out shopping yesterday and spotted this tee. The caption captivates me and immediately I took one to try. I saw one lady asking the staff there if they have the same tee in XL size. Now tell me, why would you want to wear a tee that says, “I May Be Small But I’m Strong” if you are an XL sized person? o.O

No matter how cute they are? I think here in Malaysia, there are two body parts that are not allowed to be shown on TV commercials ie the underarm and the belly button. You don’t get to actually see the lady model applying deodorant on her armpits in TV commercials do you? Forget about breasts and the thing down there, those are forbidden! Somehow, armpits are allowed in print advertisement though. Here’s a deodorant Ad […]

I never know we can create custom iPhone case until XiangCool tagged me in Facebook with this pic: Can you spot Ethan? I see FIVE Ethans there! Ethan got super excited seeing himself on an iPhone cover and asked me how KorKor Xiang did it to which Xiang replied, “get it from casetagram.com” I went into their website to see “Create Custom iPhone Case with your Instagram Photos, $34.95 Free Shipping Worldwide” Fuh!

Dondang Sayang coffee house of Corus Hotel Kuala Lumpur has recently launched its newly revamped weekend buffet and introduced a lot of exciting new dishes of local and International recipes. The theme last month was The Taste of Malacca’s Best and needless to say, we quickly made our way there. I wouldn’t miss out on anything Malaccan! Darling and Ethan @ Dondang Sayang Coffee House <3 Dondang Sayang Coffee House Corus Hotel KL Tel: (603)2161-8888 Fax: (603)2161-2393 […]

I was raised in Sitiawan from Primary 4 until I left for college. When it comes to Sitiawan, one delicacy that you MUST try is: Gong Pian, Gong Phiang, Kong Piang, Kompiang.. however you spell it, it only means one thing : Biscuit made of lard, onions, salt and flour with either onion or minced pork fillings which is then slapped onto the sides of a traditional Chinese oven. It will stick at the side of […]

Yeah Baby! LMFAO is in the house! We waited anxiously for this day to come but it rained the entire evening before the concert. Even as we were preparing to leave the house for the concert at 7pm it was still raining. We arrived the main entrance of Sunway Lagoon at 8.30pm sharp to see no more queue into the venue ^_^ *sometimes it is good to be late?* Ethan, Darling and I got our […]

The last I went to Petrosains KLCC was end of 2006 when I was pregnant with Ethan. I was working with Smart Reader Kids then and was leading the kids for their field trip. The kids were 5 and 6 years old then but they did not enjoy the trip. We completed the entire place in less than 2 hours! Yesterday, when we planned to utilize the free Petrosains vouchers given by Disney Junior, I […]

Easter or no Easter, crafting with eggs is always FUN! Inspired by DisneyFamily.com, the theme is ALIEN today in our Studio :D Toy Story Alien Easter Egg Paint an empty egg shell green. Let dry. Paste purple and blue colored paper around a toilet paper roll. Print alien template from here, cut and paste on egg shell. We come in PEACE ^_^  

It’s Easter this weekend. Still not too late to make more Easter craft. Inspired by DisneyFamilyFun, we did this little cutie lamb today :) Easter Egg Lamb You’ll need: * an empty egg shell * a black straw for the legs * colored paper for the ears (I cut out from old magazine) * cotton balls * glue Cut the straws Glue onto the egg Paste cotton all over the lamb leaving the front part […]

*48 hours sticky post. Scroll down for latest updates* I run a craft Studio specialising in creating craft from recyclables. It is only natural that I am inclined into anything that is Mother Nature friendly. That includes ‘green’ cars and by green I’m referring to the much hyped hybrid cars. I don’t know much about hybrid cars initially but there is always room to learn new stuffs especially if this is going to be big […]

Darling loves eating Nga Choi Kai (Bean Sprouts Chicken) and we pay like RM2 for a plate of blanched beansprout which I think is ridiculous knowing how cheap beansprout is in the market! As usual, I’ll try to learn to prepare dishes that either Darling or Ethan loves. Yesterday, I tried dishing out blanched beansprout and I think it’s quite alright as Darling said I managed to get the correct texture with the right crunch! […]

Hi! I know we have been MIA for several days now. That is because we are all a lil’ under the weather right now. We’ve been cooped up at home and to kill our boredom, we did some crafts. Easter is just around the corner so it is time to take the eggs out and start decorating. If you have a printer at home, there are countless craft work you can do on ‘rainy days’ […]

Late last year, Ethan requested for drum lessons. I don’t know where he got the idea from but I guess it must be after we watched Justin Bieber playing the drum when he was like what… 4? Talking about Justin Bieber, have you listen to his latest single, Boyfriend? I haven’t but my niece is nuts about him. Can’t blame her though, after all, her name is Hazel. She was BORN a NUT! :P Ok, […]

We ladies face a lifetime dilemma of using the public toilet. Unlike guys who can just urinate at the urinal and leave, we ladies have so much to battle before even able to ease ourselves. QUEUE Ladies seriously take more time in the loo. From the moment we stepped into the cubicle, you’ll be amazed at how much WORK we do before we can even pee! Forget about doing big business in the public toilet, […]

You know how sometimes the simplest of stuffs is BEST in life? While we are so caught up with technology and all, seldom do the kids get to go back to basic and do what WE did when we were younger. The kids in the Studio did sponge painting last week. I gave them sponges and get them to sponge blue paint all over the paper. Let dry. Then, using cute underwater creatures template, they […]

*Read until the end of this post to find out how you can win yourself a box of Phytonutrients Essence worth RM49.90* When was the last time you frequented Sunway Pyramid? For us, it was last night. Before that, it was two weeks ago. I tell you one thing. Two weeks ago, when we were in Sunway Pyramid, we did not notice this place called Show ‘U’ Cafe Bar. It is situated very close to […]

Not too long ago, I was invited to attend a LINGERIE Spring 2012 party. If you are an avid follower of my blog you’ll know how I super LOVE lingerie! I can never have enough of them! So there I was at that super sexy party with my even sexier BUSTIER TOP HANDBAG bought all the way from Brussels, Belgium. We were given a door gift immediately upon arrival. To my delight, I found a […]

The other day after having a hearty meal in KL, we went to 1 Utama to get something. An hour later Ethan is hungry again. We went to Food Republic. Since Darling and I are still not hungry, we ordered only ONE meal for Ethan alone. I love the chicken rice there but today we felt like trying out something new. I ordered the Salmon Pepper Rice from Pepper Lunch Express.  I requested for them […]

We were in my second home (guess where?) yesterday when we came across this: OMG Angry Bird bed sheets selling at 50% off! Ethan immediately ran towards it and started choosing. He even asked the promoter how much it is after discount! >_< Original price is RM99 after discount is RM49.50 for a Super Single set. Not bad right? We wanted to get the comforter set sekali but they’ve run out on the design that […]

Unlike Loh Hon Chai (refer to my entry here)  where red bean curd is used, the Nyonya Chap Chye calls for the use of Taucu (minced bean paste) instead. This is an extremely simple dish to prepare and  the hint of sweetness goes well with kids. Ingredients: oil garlic, chopped 1 tablespoon minced taucu onion, sliced white cabbage carrot dried mushrooms, soaked and sliced dried lily buds (kin chiam), soaked; cut off the hard tips […]

Eversince our very FIRST time going to the Putrajaya Hot Air Balloon Fiesta when they first landed in Malaysia back in 2009 (read about it here), we have been hooked and been going back every year since. This is our fourth year and though I have my doubts that we are going to make it this year, Darling is determined to bring Ethan and not miss our annual trip there. We arrived Putrajaya shortly before […]

You know I’m kinda a ‘full-time’ blogger right? I’m FULL most of the TIME! ok lame joke >_< Anyway, what I wanted to say is I’m in front of the PC most of the time. And then there are those many events that we needed to attend. My butt is literally glued to the chair at all times that even when I need to do my make-up before going out, I do it in front […]

Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. I always make sure Darling and Ethan eat before they leave home for work and class. It’s a challenge to keep the meals interesting but today, I think I just hit the jackpot! Darling and Ethan had this and they love it max! What’s that? That’s french toast with chicken floss filling :) It’s really simple to prepare this. Cut 2 pieces of bread into 8 […]

Darling told me the other day he often drops by Kedai Kopi Khoong in Sea Park in the evenings alone for dessert. He brought me there for the very first time in 1997 and is still frequenting that place today! I don’t know what makes him kept going back there as I find their desserts so-so only -.- How? Am I that bad that he needs to ‘cari makan’ else where? :P So the other […]

If you know me well you’ll know I’ll never sacrifice my sleep to go for Dim Sum breakfast. Countless times my friends planned for an early dim sum but I always decline as sleep is very important to me. Already I am sleep deprived, I won’t make it worse by waking up extra early just to eat -.- Zuan Yuan, One World is having a dim sum lunch promotion from 1 March – 30 April […]

Every since I made that resolution to cook more often so my family can have home-cooked food at least 4 days a week, I’ve been at dead-end every night thinking what to cook the next day. It’s either chicken or fish and it’s always the same old, same old. I’m afraid Darling and Ethan will get bored and not looking forward to come home for lunch anymore. The other day, I tried dishing out Lemon […]

You know right that I’m fehmes? *cue to massively vomit blood now* :P We appeared in the newspaper several times before and I treasure them like those are the most valuable thing in the world to me. *jakun* I framed them up and hung it where people can see it. Unfortunately I noticed that after some time, those newspaper cuttings tend to turn yellow. The other day, while printing some worksheets for Ethan, I thought of […]

*48 hours sticky post. Scroll down for latest entry* How do you get kids to like to wash their hands? Here in my Studio, the kids can get really messy while painting. I always tell them to wash their hands after painting but what they always do when they go to the washroom is they will get their hands wet, press onto the hand-wash pump and more often than not, I will hear a loud […]

My favourite Snowflake has a new edition, Coco Ono. I MUST try it! Coco Ono. Coconut Ice + Taroballs + Okinawan Sweet Potato + Sweet Potato + Baby Pearls + Gula Melaka AND my ADD-ONs Lotus Seed + Kidney Bean = RM9.40 The NEW Okinawan Sweet Potato is a nice addition to the Snowflake family. Ethan loves both varieties of the sweet potatoes. He even loves the baby pearls. I prefer normal sized pearls though. […]

Get ready for a better world at KidZania – an indoor educational and entertainment theme park based on the concept of fostering independence and autonomy in kids aged 4 to 14. The first KidZania in Malaysia (there are 8 other KidZanias around the world), is constructed on 7,400sq m (80,000sq ft) over two levels in Curve NX in Mutiara Damansara. Ethan, Darling and I finally packed our suitcase and flew our way here today. KidZania […]

My life is rather a mundane routine. Every night before I go to bed, I’ll switch off the electric water dispenser and unplug it from the socket. But I ALWAYS leave the other end attached to the dispenser. When I was unwell, Darling helped me to switch off the dispenser. The next morning as usual, I pour out the cooled water and boil a fresh batch of water. I was still unwell so Darling had […]

Nuffnang turned 5 at 2am on the 27th February 2012. I signed up with Nuffnang in 2008 so basically I’ve been with Nuffnang for 4 wonderful years already. FOUR solid years and many more years to come :D I was so looking forward to attending the Nuffnang’s Birthday Bash but fell sick instead on that very day :'( Anyway, was watching this video today and YEAY, we ARE in it! Dapat jugak to be included […]

I was really knocked-out yesterday. The high fever coupled with flu and cough weakened me so much that I had to cancel my classes and just stay home to recuperate. I refused to see the doctor as I think this is just the normal fever, flu and cough. I lost my appetite and all I could think of was how nice it is to have a bowl of hot soup in front of me then. […]

If you don’t see me dropping by your blogs, that’s because of this.. And this.. All we did the entire day is this.. As the saying goes, ‘When it rains, it pours’. I’m hoping to get out of this real soon before our heads grow flat from too much sleeping -.- By the way, this is my first time updating blog from the iPhone! Jakun! :D

APPLICATION FOR YEAR ONE STUDENT PLACEMENT It’s that BIG time of our lives for mothers with kids born in the year 2007. The time is here for us to register our kid for Primary ONE! How time flies! I have not even registered Ethan for kindergarten but here I am struggling to find THAT SCHOOL for Year ONE! >_< For folks in Selangor, we have to register ONLINE first, print all relevant documents AND submit […]

We were invited to indulge in an afternoon tea party at Harrods, KLCC today courtesy of SkinFood Malaysia in conjunction with the launch of their new BB Good Afternoon Cream Line. Ethan and I dressed to the nines for the English Tea at Harrods, KLCC. Ethan had his very first afternoon tea experience today and he loved it! He find mixing his own tea fascinating :D Trays of delicious scones, sandwiches and tarts. While having our […]

Sometimes we see an advert so powerful that it made you think it works.. no matter what! And then… Real life situation comes in. We go to the playground like almost everyday. Ethan loves his sand play time and I love brisk walking nearby. But one problem is, when you walk on those red soil, it tends to get into your shoes and ended up staining your socks. I have to wash it everyday but […]
