It has been awhile since we last shared our garden project. We did not stop gardening. It is just that we grow the same thing so there isn’t anything to share until recently when Ayden grew a liking towards bitter gourd and requested to try growing them. As you all know, all our garden projects are done in pots and containers so same goes for our bitter gourd plant. Here is a video tutorial of […]

I was clearing my purse the other day and found these tickets:   A couple of entry tickets to Parenthood Playland. I dont even remember where and when I got these from but thank goodness I found it back on time as the expire date is on the 15th of May this year.  So we took the boys to Sunway Pyramid last Sunday to utilise these tickets before they are deemed invalid.  It was our […]

I used to teach before I became a stay at home mom. Back then, I received many red pens for Teacher’s Day. Too many in fact. So many until I don’t know what to do with them  And then there are mugs. And more mugs. And many more mugs. LoL! Ethan will be celebrating Teachers’ Day in school tomorrow. I told myself we will not give pens nor mugs as Teacher’s Day gift.  For the past […]

It’s been a week since I last updated my blog. Our entire nation is having ELECTION fever and now that we have created history and have a brand new government, all eyes are glued on our handphones for constant updates. I checked my Whatsapp and various news portals every 5 minutes till I have no time nor interest to blog as I doubt anyone is keen to read anything other than our country’s political updates […]

There’s a wealth of knowledge and information available when it comes to property investment. Fresh out of a property seminar, or right after reading a good real estate investment book, you might feel excited to start dabbling in property investments straight away. So you look up a potential purchase, say a melaka property, and jump in headstrong. However, while you may already know what you should to ensure success, it is equally important to know […]

SELERA ASLI MALAYSIA FEATURING DELICACIES FROM SARAWAK – THE LAND OF THE HORNBILLS I have a couple of food blogger friends in Sarawak and I read about them singing praises over their local traditional cuisines all the time that I wished I have the opportunity to try them but until today, I have yet to set foot in Sarawak. Imagine my delight with puasa month around the corner, chefs at Chatz Brasserie, PARKROYAL Kuala Lumpur […]

Time flies. With a blink of an eye we are welcoming the month of May. I’m sure many of us will be taking advantage of the upcoming holidays in May and June to go for a mid-year break.   We have only managed to go for one family holiday this year in March to The Lost World of Tambun so it is high time for us to plan for our next holiday. As usual, our […]

The boys and I, we are cookie monsters. We love cookies especially those crunchy and buttery ones. I have a friend who bakes really delicious chocolate chips cookies and though she was very generous to share the recipe with her close friends, I do not feel right to share it here as it is her family’s ‘secret’ recipe. I continue searching for good recipes out there that can be shared with our readers. I searched […]

How many of you watched The Greatest Showman? I heard it’s good but can you believe we did not manage to catch it in the cinema?  Anyway, here is Drummer Ethan’s cover to Rewrite The Stars. It is his first time playing BOTH the piano and drum for the same song. He learns the piano piece from YouTube. As for the drums, his drum teacher guided him. It is also my first time combining two videos […]

Bitter gourd is one of the healthiest vegetables known to mankind but not many children like to eat it as the name suggests, it can be bitter! It is a surprise that little Ayden loves eating bitter gourd. I did not cook bitter gourd throughout big brother Ethan’s growing up years as that boy totally dislikes it. Recently, I was craving for bitter gourd and decided to fry some for myself. Ayden took a bite […]

The other day Ayden saw this on our limau purut plant. I took disposable chopsticks to pick it away and throw in the bin but before I can do that, Ayden told me to take a picture of it to send to the Daddy. He always send random pictures to the father via Whatsapp. It’s a caterpillar right? The boys asked me why is this caterpillar without bulu. I don’t know how to answer them  […]

There is this one place I have been wanting to dine at for quite some time but never got the chance as it will only be fun to dine in a group as the meal I am eyeing for is having seafood laid out with us eating straight from the table. Just Seafood A-9-G, Sunway Giza Mall, Jalan PJU 5/14, Dataran Sunway, 47810 Kota Damansara, Petaling Jaya, Malaysia 012-229 0855 FB: JustSeafoodMY I finally got […]

We were in KL for dinner today and on our way home, we saw these beautifully lit up trees along Jalan Ampang.  I am quite impressed. The streets look quite magical with these trees beautifully wrapped in fairy lights.  Can you see the difference? Two shades of lights are used – white and golden. The first picture is with golden fairy lights while the second picture is with white fairy lights.  Nice isn’t it?  Can […]

Not too long ago, a book distributor Pansing Distribution Sdn Bhd sent Ayden a recipe book – Instant Pot Miracle Cookbook. We do have a multi purpose pot that Ayden has been frequently using but it is a Philips All-in-One. However we are still excited to see if we could use the recipes in this book and apply it to our multi purpose pot.  This is Ayden’s very first recipe book so it is quite […]

Everyday when I browse through my Facebook feeds, I often see people sharing their healthy meals. It’s like it is a trend these days to go to gym, eat clean, do meal prep and bring them to work for lunch. Even those who are not gym freaks often eat in their office pantry these days. They just order food online and get it delivered right to their work desk. Maybe because the weather is so hot, […]

The boys love pizza but I am too lazy to make the pizza dough from scratch. When we have pizza at home, it is always the quick and easy cheat way – we use flatbread for our pizza base.  We love thin crust pizza so flatbread is actually perfect for this.  Since we bought our oven late last year, the boys have been enjoying pizza at home quite often. The good part is they can […]

Lost World of Tambun. I hear this name often thinking it is just another dry and wet park which we already have so many in Malaysia hence I never go out of my way to plan a trip here until recently. I was planning a local getaway for the boys for the week-long school holidays and the Daddy suggested going up North. I narrowed down our option to either Penang or Ipoh and the Daddy […]

This school holidays, 1 Utama has (in their own words) a super cool indoor jungle filled with exciting water games and adrenaline-pumping fun-tivities! We were there last weekend and the crowd was massive.  It is stated the activity is only open for children aged 5 till 12 years old with One Card Members gets to play for free.  We proceeded to register the boys only to be told One Card entitles only ONE kid so […]

Deep within Tambun’s Lost World lies a magical Luminous Forest; an enchanted tribal village. Imagine a life in a magical wonderland where friendly creatures come out to play when night falls. Beating of the drums breaks the silence of the night. Our heartbeat syncs with the drum at a fluttering pace as we take our first step into this enchanted forest. It feels like we are about to enter a tribal village with a story […]

Malaysia’s first Nickelodeon Playland is happening at Sunway Pyramid from 9 – 25 March 2018 at the LG2 Blue Concourse.

I only got know about them through him  Ayden and Ethan get to ride on these electric cars at the Blaze […]
