Came back from my first ever fashion event organised by LEFTBLOCK & NIKE Sportswear @ Padang, 1Utama (22/04/2010).

We slept separately for over 2 weeks dy…
YES, you read me right. Darling and I have been sleeping separately for over two weeks now. This is our story… The first week, Darling was down with very bad cough that he was afraid it might disturb Ethan and I so he slept in the guest room. Just when he got better and wanted to ‘shift’ back into the Master Bedroom, Ethan was diagnosed as having Hand, foot and mouth Disease (HFMD). Since Darling […]

Where the BEE ended up finally..
Last week, Darling had a bad sore throat that he eventually lost his voice. He went to a Chinese Medical shop and bought this. I don’t read nor speak Chinese so I’m not too sure what they are. He told me to boil it for him so that was what I did… But I got the shock of my life when I tore open the packaging and saw what was inside.. Ok, at first they […]

That buzzing BEE!
If you follow me on Twitter or Facebook, you’ll know that there was this BEE that has been bothering me and Ethan the whole evening. We were SO afraid that I almost cry! No matter what we did the bee just refused to fly away. And then miracle happened. The bee stood still on the mirror admiring itself. I quickly took a plastic container and caught it! Yippie! The Incredible ME :D The BEE Ethan […]

Not so comfort food..
Remember the Nestle event I attended recently? They gave me a goodie bag right? In that goodie bag, I got some Maggi stuffs. I never really looked through what I got until recently. Why? What happened recently that triggered me to look at them? Because of Darling. He has been under the weather for more than a week now. When Darling’s down, that means nobody goes grocery shopping and that means my fridge is almost […]

Thank you Caroline :D
Honk! Honk! That’s the trade mark of Pos Laju. They don’t ring the bell. They just honk and if you are unaware that they are honking in front of your house, they’ll leave a “Miss U” card and you’ll need to go to the post office to retrieve the goods. Thank goodness this time, Darling was around and he heard them. I got something from Baby Borneo. Cool gifts I tell you… * See that […]

That little Piggy from Bali
Fuiyo now… it’s THREE posts in a row about Foong PC! This is NOT a paid review! lol… :P If you have been following my blog, you’ll know about the commotion caused by a harmless prank. What followed suit was while Foong’s identity is actually still a secret, some other true identities were revealed instead, but I will not touch on that matter. I’ll just let it be… On a happier note, the reason I […]

The truth about Foong! – Revealed-
I woke up in the morning and I checked my email. Oh my gawd! Flooded with love and also ‘hate’ mails. People are losing sleep after seeing Foong in my previous post.

Black Out
Was happily sleeping in bed this morning about 8.15am when the fan suddenly stopped moving. Yeah… I was still in bed at 8.15am :P Don’t envy me… lol..

Checked further and discovered that the next five houses to my right were all in the ‘dark’. Okay, maybe not […]

We went to Aquaria KLCC the only state-of the art 60,000 sq. ft. aquarium right in the heart of beautiful Kuala Lumpur City last Sunday. The usual admission fee is RM35 for adult with MyKad. But we got our tickets during the last MATTA fair at RM20 only per adult :) The first thing we saw as we entered were the piranhas. Don’t play a fool here, can you see skeletons all over?

Ok now, where do I start? Let’s see. The story goes like this. Before Foong left for Bali, he posted a contest in his blog which Tekkaus eventually triumph as ONE of the winners. Foong then returned from Bali with some souvenirs and posted them in his blog entry “Souvenirs from Bali” and got the winners to choose the prize. Cool? Wait until you read what happened. Tekkaus told this to Foong “Ok, I wanna […]

Welcome home my precious :D
I was not too happy a couple of months ago since I migrated da submerryn to its own domain somewhere in late January. Why? Because when I did that, I lost my PR. I became a PRo. NO, not a Pro Blogger but a PR Kosong Blogger! Yes, readers were redirected to the new domain; however, my Google PageRank and backlinks will not migrate itself from the old to the new web page. So I […]

NESTLE Nourishing Malaysia Showcase – 1 Utama
I got the sms last week informing me about the event. I went over to 1Utama today to check it out. *roll eyes* I’m there basically everyday am I not? lol… Upon registration, we got to spin the wheel to determine how many balloons we get to pick. We got to pick 3 balloons and ended up getting RM10 Jusco voucher only… But what the heck, RM10 is better than nothing. *Ethan was more excited […]

Si Na Tok Chinese temple
After our Rabbit Fun Land outing last Sunday, we took another 15-minute drive into Broga town. After driving through more rubber and oil palm, we found Si Na Tok Chinese temple. One of the WONDERS of the temple… Si Na Tok Chinese temple is well-known amongst punters. Punters would go there to ask for numbers. We are no punters so we did not get any number. As soon as we stepped foot at the temple’s […]

City folks live a life full of stress. If you are willing to go a distance of about a half-hour drive out of the Klang Valley, you’ll discover a fun petting land in Broga just outside of Kajang town. Unlike the old days when the winding road will guarantee to give you motion sickness, the newly constructed road will give you a feeling of calm and serenity while driving pass Nottingham University campus and then […]

Her Stories
A few days ago I got to know of a sweet, pretty, young girl. It’s a wonder a girl so young like her can have such a deep interest in Ethan :P I chatted with her in FB today and at the same time was checking out her blog. She has such a cute template! I was surprised to read two of her recent posts – Happy and Excitement & How “Boredom” turned into “Excitement”. […]

Twisted tongue?
Nah.. don’t panic. It’s just a ‘tongue twister’ I got Ethan to try say.. “Ethan eat chicken in the kitchen”. Of course if you’re an English teacher you’ll tell me that he should say “Ethan eatS chicken in the kitchen” but then again here, “Ethan” is being used to represent “I”. Don’t ask me why.. I just like it when he refers to himself as a third party. It helps him learn his name when […]

Heart Wrenching
What do we call the above animal? Iguana? Chameleon? Lizard? I don’t really know what is that but that creature is a PR (permanent resident) in our garden. We often see it hanging around our plants/tree but its favourite has always been the late “Love Tree”. Since it won’t do any harm, we always let it linger. Today, as Darling was about to continue with his ‘disposal’ job of the “Love Tree”, we saw Mr. […]

Goodbye…
Don’t talk to me right now. I’m very, very sad. In 2005, shortly before our wedding, my friend VinSen (remember that Hot Air Balloon lookalike?) shifted to his new home. Before shifting, he presented us with a baby tree. It was so little that it could fit in our car. Darling and I happily planted it in front of our house; our so-called ‘Love Tree’. Years on and it grew into a mighty tree, providing […]

Star Egg done right!
Remember my initial attempt in making star egg? Not so good as I had to flip the egg in order to get a well-cooked yolk. Rachel gave me a great tip; add water and cover with lid and the egg yolk will harden. Cool! I used my Tefal non-stick pan, so I did not need to add any oil. I added water and cover with lid. In a couple of minutes, the egg turned out […]

Night Glow – 2nd Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta 2010
First time we attended the Night Glow was during the 1st Putrajaya International Hot Air Balloon Fiesta on the 22 March 2009. Back then, we had ‘special’ passes to enter the area for photography purposes. This year, due to miscalculated ‘planning’ we went there empty handed and had to settle photographing it from outside, together with the public and the crowd. All throughout the Night Glow, the marching band from Falun Dafa made their rounds […]

We sent them back and the replacement we got were no different. This is the first time in my […]

BUT… this time, after I sliced open the watermelon, I squealed in delight as I see RED juicy […]

Irene gave me this that day. I decided to experiment with it.I heat up my Tefal pan. Placed the ‘star’ in the middle.Pour the egg in the ‘star’. It was supposed to be ‘sunny side up’ but because I was doing this for Ethan, I couldn’t leave the yolk runny. I needed to make sure that the yolk is well cooked so I flipped it once.Tah~dah!

Last weekend I met Irene twice. Once on Saturday for Krys’ birthday and on Sunday just the six of us :D Irene & Krys and Darling & Ethan.

When Law Of Attraction fails big time…
You know how the old folks used to say, “You shall not praise your child in his presence”? Forget about Law Of Attraction here.

Whatever it is, tell your child he is clever and he’ll come out with the most unintelligent action you dare not even imagine… Oh dear…

This happened about a week ago. Darling said he was hungry so I went into the kitchen to cook some instant noodles for him. I have the habit of flapping the seasoning sachet before tearing it off. As I was flapping it that time, the seasoning ‘flew’ out and landed all over the kitchen. Some even went into my eyes causing some serious burning sensation. I screamed out to Darling and rushed into the washroom […]

Chicken Rice
In my hometown Malacca, the chicken is served with rice balls rather than a bowl of rice, commonly known as Chicken rice balls. The rice is shaped into golf ball-sized orbs and served alongside the chopped chicken. This dish is eaten the same way as the regular version, making sure to get a portion of chicken, some rice and the soy and chili condiment into each mouthful. Older chefs argue that the rice was originally […]
