My mom’s the best. I was back in Melaka last weekend. Not long before that, I mentioned to her that I will be coming home for the weekend and I’ve invited a dear friend to join us for lunch at home. Not that I’m cooking though. And just like that, she cooked up a storm and prepared a feast for us.  She cooked all these: Babi Satay Buah Keras My mom taught me how to […]

Lazada Match Day Sale The World Cup that unites everyone globally has reached its peak with the much-anticipated final football match on the 15 July 2018. France vs Croatia, who will you be rooting for?  Big brother Ethan is a die-hard France supporter. He made us buy him this jersey at the beginning of World Cup and has been wearing it proudly throughout the month.  But doesn’t matter which country you support, let’s join in the celebration and […]

Yes, we are pretty much still in Raya mood. We spent our Sunday evening celebrating at Kundang Estates Sales Gallery by Gamuda Land as there were many activities lined up for visitors. Each visitor is also eligible to participate in the Lucky Draw and boy was I lucky as I won myself a super huge hamper that evening. I posted this picture on Facebook and people got excited at how huge my hamper is. They […]

During our recent trip to Thailand’s most beloved resort town of Hua Hin, one of the highlight was to experience Vana Nava Water Jungle. The name “Vana Nava” comes from ancient Sanskrit. VANA means jungle/forest and NAVA means sea boat which represents the seaside city of Hua Hin. It is Asia’s First Water Jungle as well as the first ecologically aware community water park in the region. Vana Nava Water Jungle literally transformed an empty […]

We have left over rice from yesterday so I thought, “let’s fry it” and immediately our Little Chef Ayden said he wanted to learn to fry rice. That’s when I realised I have never teach him this simple survival dish – FRIED RICE. It will come in handy when he leaves home to further his studies in the distant future. My rule for fried rice is pretty simple; just make sure to use multiple coloured […]

Hua Hin is a beach resort town in the southern Thai province of Prachuap Khiri Khan. Well known for their beaches and multiple waterparks, it is ideal for families to enjoy the sun, sea and sand in the tropics. Previously if you wish to go to Hua Hin from Malaysia, you’ll need to fly to Bangkok and spend a couple of hours journey via train or car to Hua Hin. We almost took the train to […]

We spent the first week of the mid-term school holidays at Hua Hin, Thailand. Do you know that AirAsia flies direct to Hua Hin now? Previously if you wish to go to Hua Hin, you’ll need to fly to Bangkok and spend a couple of hours journey via train or car to Hua Hin. We almost took the train to Hua Hin when we were in Bangkok last year but decided against it as we […]

I’ve graduated from carrying a Mummy bag! If previously I am always seen lugging a hard shell Mummy bag where ever I go, I can now be seen walking around in style in my favourite colour – PINK!  Minimalistic yet functional, my new cheery Pråper Pink Gaston Luga Swedish backpack is my current favourite especially when I travel as its thick canvas material is very comfortable to hug in the plane.  The non-bulky straps complement my […]

When are we celebrating Parents’ Day? Some told me it is in June yet some said it is in July? Anyway, Ayden learned to recite a simple poem for mother and father in his Mandarin enrichment class recently. He kept pestering me to learn it with him but try as I might, I just cant do it. Finally to make him happy, I tricked him to record it so I can watch it all the […]

Ethan’s latest drum cover. This time he played Ellie Goulding’s BURN. It is one of his most challenging drum cover todate. I am his biggest fan. I love watching him play especially to this song ♥ Drummer Ethan @ 10y10m

Last week, immediately after the end of Ethan’s second semester exam, we packed our bags and drove up to Resorts World Genting for a weekend staycation. The boys are always the happiest being up here enjoying the cool breeze. We brought them to catch the first viewing of SMURFS live on stage at Genting International Showroom which is being held from the 26 May – 24 June 2018. After Smurfs, the boys went back to the room […]

I homeschool Ayden. I think I have said that too many times. The benefit of homeschooling is we have the leisure of time in our hands. It is up to me to draw up a schedule for little Ayden and learning is not confined to home only. I bring him out on week days when there is lesser crowd in the mall. We go to the bookstore to read some books. Sometimes we’ll buy the […]

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 […]

SMURFS SAVE SPRING My boys and I are one of the lucky few to catch the very first viewing of the Smurfs special 60th anniversary show live at Genting International Showroom yesterday thanks to the lovely PR team from Resorts World Genting. This 70-minute, two act musical extravaganza features live actors singing and dancing in full Smurf costumes. La la la-la la la, Sing a happy song La la la-la la la, Smurf it all […]

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 […]

Specially curated by Executive Chef Supi Mansor, he said the buffet is inspired to please every palate as it comprises of the diverse culinary culture of Malaysia and the traditional […]

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 […]
