Attended the “Ace Youth Charity Dinner” at Restaurant Han Dynasty last night. Formerly Damansara Palace, this restaurant is situated next to the Palm Spring condominiums. Three Combination Chicken Soup with Corn Roasted Chicken Steamed Halibut with Soya Sauce Butter Prawn with Oat Braised Gluten with Mushroom Steamed Rice with Treasure OMG the food! The food omaigot! Ok, nevermind the food… Look who’s that on stage… Whatever the agenda is, they seemed to be more interested […]

I’m a bread person. I eat bread in the morning. I eat bread in the afternoon. I eat bread in the evening. I eat bread at night. Okay, maybe that’s a little exaggerating. I don’t eat bread in the afternoon unless I’m out then Tuna Sandwich will be my lunch. Anyway, you can imagine the amount of bread I have at home. We always have left-overs. So what do I do with them? Turn them […]

Ethan loves the outer space. He found this picture online the other day. He loves it so much that he printed it out. Since he loves it very much I thought of converting it into a piece of art. We managed to make the above inspired by the picture that he printed out earlier. What I did was to cut the shapes of planets, meteorite and more out of cardboard. We brought those to the […]

Sometimes all a person needs is one chance, a chance to gain the confidence that comes with achievement. For people with intellectual disabilities, Special Olympics holds dear to their hearts as this is a place they find success, joy and friendship through sports. Heart-touching stories documenting positive transformations of intellectual disabled children have inspired two caring companies, Procter & Gamble (P&G) and Tesco to launch a fund-raising campaign for the non-profit organisation today. The goal […]

Just like majority of other bloggers out there, one of my routine is to hop into other blogger’s blog, read and leave comments. Yeah, I know many out there who skipped the reading part and goes straight to comment just to leave their footprint. It is obvious in food post where we painstakingly wrote about how bad the food was even though they looked good in pictures and you see comments such as, “DELISH! MUST […]

Continuation from my previous post on Volkswagen Polo GTi. Today we are going to touch on Darling’s dream car, the Volkswagen Passat CC. He has been showing interest for this car for some time and so wanted to test drive it but unfortunately as mentioned in my earlier post, the Volkswagen Sales Person snubbed us at first sight when we visited their showroom! Anyway, thanks to Nuffnang AND Volkswagen, we finally got to test drive […]

I went to Daiso with Ethan again yesterday. I tell you, each time I enter Daiso, I’ll come out so much poorer! I’ve always told myself NOT to go to Daiso. JANGAN MASUK DAISO! But tak menjadi… Whenever I’m in One Utama OR The Curve, sure masuk jugak Daiso.. sigh…  *macam kena jampi* Anyway, bought a zillion stuffs for Ethan. That boy can really shop in Daiso. “Mummy, this one can-ah? RM5 ONLY!” Yeah right… […]

Japanese food is ranked one of the healthiest cuisines in the world. It is rich in antioxidant, calcium, iodine and omega 3. Beside these wholesome goodness, thanks to Japanese food’s unique ways of preparation and ingredients used, you can savour Japanese food without worrying too much about your diet or counting the calories. Now that Chinese New Year is over and done with, it’s time to keep track of our diet and start getting fit […]

The first time I set foot in Candylicious was in Singapore years ago. I love their get-up as they are so cutely decorated. Everything in it looks so sweetly done! Not too long ago, Candylicious landed in my second home, 1 Utama. It has been a while but I’ve never stepped foot in it. Why should I for all they sell are tooth-decaying products. They even sell soft sweets in the shape of DENTURES! What […]

We have a long weekend to enjoy this time around, haven’t we? 4 days of continuous break! I wanted to balik kampung but due to the several open houses that we are supposed to attend, we had to stay back in KL. Nevermind-lah, at least I can slave over catch up with housework and spend quality time with family @_@ Today Darling woke up and asked us if we want to go up Genting. Ethan […]

Valentine’s Day is around the corner. We did a heart mobile again but this time our heart is puffier! Valentine’s Puffy Heart Referring to our post here, cut a heart out of hard construction paper to be used as the template. Let the kids trace the outline of the heart on white hard construction paper. Cut the heart out. Paint the heart red on both sides and let dry. Punch a hole. Here’s the fun […]

We first fell in love with The Mix, Holiday Inn Kuala Lumpur Glenmarie back in Oct 2011 when we celebrated our Wedding Anniversary there. We love the ambiance, the food, the people… The Mix will be serving Valentine’s day special menu this year. For those of you in the dark, Valentine’s day falls on the 14th February this year. In fact, it falls on the 14th of February EVERY year so don’t tell me you […]

I thought we very friend-friend dy I say what I think lor… Me: You dare SAY?!! Darling: Ok-lor. I marry YOU lor but let’s take HER to be your BREASTMAID… I mean BRIDESMAID!! Me: Argh!!!! >_<

Let’s make a super simple heart mobile today  Valentine’s Heart Mobile Refer to our post here and cut two hearts out of coloured construction paper. I prefer to use papers of different colours. Cut a slit to the centre of the heart, one slit on the bottom half of the heart and the other heart on the upper half. Slide the hearts together, top to bottom. Tie a string or you may cut a strip of paper […]

*48 hours sticky post. Scroll down for new entry* FREE is such a powerful word. To us moms, the word FREE will definitely trigger some sort of response in us. Show us FREE SUGAR and we’ll rush like crazy as that means somebody out there is distributing COMPLIMENTARY sugar! But I’m keener on the words SUGAR FREE.  And that means NO ADDED SUGARS. Give me all the FREE SUGAR in the world but I DON’T […]

The first question that came to mind when we first learnt that my nieces has adopted a cat and name it Mouse, we wondered, “Who the heck would call their cat MOUSE?” But then my niece told us that the cat’s name is Myles not Mouse! :P I first blogged about Myles here. Just look at how he drinks his milk. The cat can hold his own bottle yo! Now Myles is much bigger. Almost […]

Volkswagen. I’ll always remember them for ignoring Darling and I. When we were thinking of replacing our V6, we had this interest on VW Passat CC hence we went to their showroom to have a look. After speaking to the sales person, we requested for a test drive. Guess what? He told us that he’ll call us back. Great! That is as good as telling an upfront NO to us. True enough, a week gone by without […]

I walk pass this like every other day and it baffles me how TWO pictures can be so SAME yet so DIFFERENT! The first pic was taken at the STORE itself while the second pic was taken like 2 metres in front of the entrance of the store. Can you spot the difference? Is it the job of a good push-up bra that works wonders or is it just merely PHOTOSHOP? For all its worth, […]

From Xmas to CNY and now into Valentine’s Day. The clock seems to be ticking so quickly. Valentine’s Day falls on the 14th February every year but it has always been a habit of Darling and I to celebrate it earlier as food is ridiculously expensive on that day itself. This year we did something different. Since we’ve been pigging out since Christmas, we decided to do something else besides eating. We decided to go […]

Hello! Finally an update after being AWOL during the Chinese New Year. How are you guys doing? I’ve gained weight during the past week due to the none stop eating. Thank goodness CNY only comes once a year! I kenot afford to gain weight every month! :P I spent my CNY in both Seremban and Malacca. I did not go jalan-jalan then but we did manage to stop by this place to get the famous […]

It’s officially the year of the Dragon now. I welcomed it in my sleep! For the very first time in ages, I actually went to bed before midnite without even trying to stay awake to usher the Dragon… For the very first time this year too we tossed REAL yee sang at home! For the past years we have been tossing yee sang at home without the YEE but this year my SIL bought the […]

Do you write names on the back of Ang Pows for those special people in your life? I do. I mean I used to but this year, not anymore for today, we personalized our Ang Pow packets :D Personalised Ang Pow packet First, you’ll need to choose a picture of the person you are giving the Ang Pow to. This is easily done by stalking their Facebook account :P I helped Ethan to get the […]

Woke up this morning. Went to FB and WhatsApp at the same time and was told that Ethan and I are in the papers today! First thing came to mind was, “What did WE do?” Switched on my PC to see Angi tagging me in FB with the snapshot of us :D A photographer asked for Ethan and my name during one of the Chinese New Year lunch reviews so this is the outcome (^_^) […]

Rarely do I write a random post but today is the day when rarity comes in full force. 1) I held all my classes yesterday so that today I’ll be free to go shopping for clothes as I’ve got NOTHING as yet BUT because I was annoyed with Darling this morning, I scrapped the idea of shopping altogether and ended up at home the entire day. Stupidity on my part, I know. One day wasted on […]

Italy. When it comes to Italy, the first thing that pops up in my mind is their lyrical, romantic Italian men. Ooops! Did I just say that out loud? I mean the first thing that crops out in my mind is their thin crusted pizza burning over an open woodfire oven :P You don’t get that easily these days as many eateries boast to be Italian but have their pizzas electronically baked instead. So when I […]

Today we are going to make something extremely EASY. It’s so EASY you can even do it in your sleep :P Here’s the tutorial video:  Ang Pow Fish you can stick on your walls, windows and every where. 1) For the body, you’ll need to cut open an Ang Pow packet and trace the shape from template. 2) For the tail, do not cut open the Ang Pow. Trace the shape on the Ang […]

Every Chinese New Year, we will be awaken by the loud Dong Dong Chiang on TV. My Dad will deliberately blast the TV so loud just to annoy us. He is always the early bird where else we always sleep in as we only go to bed at 3am the earliest during CNY. It has been a ritual of his to blast the TV by 10am if we are still not awake. You’ll never be […]

Chinese New Year is just around the corner. I remembered vividly what Chinese New Year was back in my hometown in Malacca. CNY means staying up late on New Year eve to help Mom pack Ang Pows, filling up the cookie jar, hanging up red cloth (or Chai Kee as we call it in Peranakan language) on the main entrance of the house. All these were done with the entire house filled with the aromatic […]

We did a Dragon craft today :) Can feel the ‘heat’ dy. Chinese New Year is just around the corner! Dragon fridge magnet.  Super simple and fun craft. Print out a dragon head and a tail. I got the dragon head and tail template from here. Paint and cut. Cut a strip of paper and paste three magnets along it. Paste the strip of paper to the Dragon’s head and tail and the fridge magnet […]

We ended up in Berjaya Times Square to see for ourselves the ‘Biggest Blossom Tree Replica’ at its main concourse area. The replica stands erect at 50.46 ft and holds 398,998 exquisite blooming blossoms. It is dubbed the Biggest Blossom Tree Replica by the Malaysia Book of Records. Not only that, their lantern is also bigger than life! Gigantic I tell you! If you are looking for ideas to make your own Ang Pow lanterns […]

If you are looking for a mall to go this weekend, you may want to consider Sunway Pyramid for they too have quite an amazing Dragon. If Ethan was not afraid of Pavilion’s Dragon (though I was), he is afraid of THIS Dragon! The Dragon is really something for this is the only dragon we’ve seen (so far) that is actually going vertical. Ethan is afraid as he said the Dragon can climb up real […]

The Dragon hunt brought us to Pavilion KL today. Actually I don’t know how we ended up in Pavilion. One moment we were in Eastin Hotel then Ethan and I fell asleep in the car and when we woke up we were already in Pavilion! Superb! The 600 ft long Majestic Dragon at Pavilion KL. Having just woken up from our nap, Ethan and I walked around Pavilion while Darling went somewhere else to meet […]

Today we are going to make another Lantern out of Red Packets. I don’t know what to call this. Can’t find any auspicious name for it but since it looks like a carousel to me, we shall refer it as Ang Pow Carousel Lantern :D DIY Chinese New Year decor : Ang Pow Carousel Lantern Fold as shown above Fold again as shown above. Looking like a slice of pizza now.. yum yum :P Fold […]

In my quest to find the best Chinese New Year decor in malls around the Klang Valley, never did I expect to find a gem at Sunway Giza Mall. They were nothing extra-ordinary during Christmas so when I paid them a visit today, I did not even bring my camera along. But to my surprise, Giza Mall has the most amazing decor I’ve ever encountered as they have this: *The photos you are about to […]

How to remove tissue paper from clothing that was wash together in the washing machine? Chinese New Year is just around the corner and like as if I’m not busy enough, this had to happen to me! Darling don’t normally put his own laundry into the washing machine. The most he’ll do is to place them in the laundry basket. But today, the super rajin dude placed his working clothes INSIDE the washing machine. I […]

Sunway Resort Hotel & Spa embraces the year of the Dragon with the poetic rhythm of spring blossoming throughout its walls in celebration of the New Year with hopes of happiness, longevity and prosperity. We drove through the gorgeously decorated street to West Lake Garden, the Hotel’s Chinese restaurant. A teaser before we begin – Dragon Boat Sea Cucumber. A magnificent work of art! This Dragon year, the restaurant is offering a choice of four […]

Remember I was sceptical about 1 Utama’s Chinese New Year decoration when I saw them re-using their Christmas 2011 decor? If you don’t, read about it here.  Well, I was WRONG for the end result is amazing, better than their Christmas decor I must say! Check out their Christmas decor here. This is the stage seen from a level above.. What caught my eyes is the DRAGON.. Only the DRAGON… Amazing DRAGON that saves the […]

Our second stop for Chinese New Year mall decor is at IPC. Walking distance from The Curve, how can we NOT come here right? :P Ethan enjoying walking on the trail of the dragon. He said we must NOT walk on the RED carpet for the dragon will EAT us then! :P The stage. One of the houses with one of the dragons. Lanterns What I love about IPC’s decor this year is the trail […]

*Sticky post 48 hours* Maxis Berhad (‘Maxis’),Malaysia’s leading integrated communications provider, introduced the eagerly anticipated iPhone 4S to its customers at the stroke of midnight, with a special launch event at the Kuala Lumpur Convention Centre. Concurrently, Maxis also introduced the device in Johor Bahru,Penang, Kuantan, Kota Kinabalu and Kuching.

I remembered my niece Hazel once shared with us a naughty little joke. She asked, “What animal is very hamsup?” Me: The LEMUR (King Julian) in Madagascar! Hazel: WRONG! Me: Then what? Hazel: ZEBRA! Me: Eh?  Hazel: Coz zebra will un-ZIP and show off its BRA! LoL! Cheeky little girl she was… Not too long ago, I did a zebra craft with the kids in the studio. Of coz I did not share that notti […]

*Sticky post 48 hours* With a blink of an eye we are at the beginning of 2012. Looking back, what have been achieved throughout last year? Career wise, I went from occasionally working to totally not working -.- Thank goodness for blogging, I still have a little income to spare. Health wise is not looking too great. I’ve been slacking on my evening walks and just recently Ethan commented that I am fat! Went to […]

As we usher the new year 2012, let’s usher the year of the Dragon together. This year, our very first Lou Sang is at Zuan Yuan Chinese Restaurant @ One World Hotel.  My little photographer photographing Yee Sang for the second year. I think he fared better this year compared to last year. Last year he used my iPhone. This year he uses a camera :D Yee Sang or Prosperity Toss also known as lo hei (in Cantonese) […]

I was in One Utama today. Oh well, I am there like basically every other day so… Anyway, I saw their Chinese New Year decor about to complete. If a month ago they have the “Splashing over the big blue” for Christmas… Christmas at 1 Utama a month ago. I don’t really fancy the BIG BLUE theme then.. Chinese New Year at 1 Utama a month later in January 2012. They recycled the splashing Christmas […]

Today we’ll be making Ang Bao Wheel Of Fortune Red Packet Wheel of Fortune We’ll need ten Ang Bao wrappers if we are using the long type. If you are using the square packets then you’ll need to double the amount. Fold the […]

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 […]

Public toilet ain’t exactly the best place I like to be in unless it is really necessary. And when the time comes that I seriously needed to go to one, I’ll do my best to minimize the things that I touch along the way knowing how WET and FILTHY public washrooms are in Malaysia! When people say that washrooms can be the most dangerous room in a house or any other places, I totally agree […]
