Getting ready for ‘Craft with ParenThots’
I’m quite busy these days. Preparing the students for their exam is done and this is their exam week. I’m still busy though. The reason is because I’m turning into a dinosaur! @_@ ‘Craft with ParenThots’ is just several days away and I’m still in the midst of cutting and gluing egg cartons and toilet paper rolls together to form a dinosaur.

My man is wet..
Was hanging laundry a little while ago when I saw his umbrella hanging on the gate like that. Hmm.. Pray hard it won’t rain today or for sure he’ll get wet! It has been raining every evening and I feel bad for not making sure he has an umbrella in the car today! Sometimes, we are so caught up with ourselves and kid that we tend to overlook our spouses.

Sometimes, being DOWN is good.
A couple of days ago , Blogger went down for an hour for maintenance purposes. Most of us were in our work place then. It’s interesting to see how barely a minute after Blogger went down, FB and Twitter were flooded with horrified bloggers’ updates of not being able to log into Blogger. I was in the office too then and was wondering WHAT TO DO during that ONE hour. Should I spend that time […]

Of guns and lollipops
ParenThots interviewed me not too long ago regarding the topic of toy guns. They wanted to know if I’m in favour or against the idea of letting my child play with toy guns. Well, in general I am against Ethan playing with toy guns. I don’t buy him toy guns just like how I don’t buy him lollipops! What good are there in both of them you tell me? BUT I do know that no […]

Asia Cafe Kota Damansara
My friends on FB know that I frequent Asia Cafe @ Kota Damansara often. They asked me what is so good there. Well, I must say the playground there is a factor. It keeps Ethan entertained. But it could be a headache to some parents when their kids refuse to eat because of the playground! Playground aside, the major reason why I patronised Asia Cafe so often is because of their drinks :D I don’t normally […]

Triumph 125th Anniversary Fashion Show
Triumph celebrated their 125th Anniversary with a 30-minutes ensemble of their latest offering in 1Utama. When I ‘check-in’ on FB telling people to come over for a sizzling hot inner wear showcase, many were surprised and even sceptical that it is even possible in Malaysia, more so in the public eyes in a shopping mall! I have not witnessed an inner wear fashion show in public so was very excited anticipating it. Called Darling to […]

Teddylicious Trudy & Teddy

A Touch of Comfort
I’m so done with telling the world how Ethan and I have been a little under the weather lately. Ethan’s been fighting a losing battle with flu and cough for weeks now while I get stomach discomfort at the slightest indigestion making me very stressed up when it comes to eating! Back to his runny nose, the skin surrounding his nose area is reddish and injured due to the constant friction and rubbing when I […]

Malacca River Cruise
We were in Malacca last weekend and this time I did not just stay home. I ‘toured’ the city :D We met up with Carol and Eric and started planning what to do.

Fish with fruity sauce
Ethan loves fried fish. I can just fry a fish and throw some browned garlic on top and he’ll finish the whole thing easily. I fried fish again today.. And when I looked at it I feel so sad! LoL! So pitiful right my fish? :P So I decided to do something with it. I rummaged through my fridge and unfortunately I don’t have many things in it. I found strawberries, green apples, carrots and […]

Understanding Nuffnang to earn with Nuffnang
Why is it that each time I go for a blogger’s meet up, the first thing they ask me (after all the formalities) is, “How do you earn with Nuffnang?” I seriously think that this question is best forwarded to Nuffnang’s helpdesk as they are the right person to answer. Who am I to even attempt answering that question, right? But I do have my two cents worth though. Wanna know? Read on. Before you […]
