Explosion @ Empire Shopping Gallery, Subang Jaya

2011-09-29T21:53:00.001+08:00

A very unfortunate incident took place in the wee hours of 28th September, a day all Subang residents will remember. There was an explosion affecting the lower ground and ground floors of Empire Shopping Gallery in Subang Jaya that shook SS16, SS17 and as far as SS14. Cause of explosion is due to gas leak at one of the restaurants. No names have been given, and the mall has since been closed to public for further investigations.

An eerily dark and quiet front facade of ESG

Shattered glass doors at Wisma Consplant entrance, it is facing ESG, impact was so strong that it affected the opposite building

More shattered glass

Scaffolding put up quickly to prevent public from entering premises of ESG

Makeshift police tents on standby 24/7

So sad. ESG is currently celebrating its 1st year anniversary, it just opened its doors last year...

Tractors on standby

Somber 'E' roped with 'do not cross' signages

Street outside ESG closed to traffic

A very quiet and lonely looking building which is normally bustling and full of vitality. The 'E' which normally lights up at night is off, not used to this sight at all, hope you'll light up soon 'E'.

Blood boiling moment

2011-09-09T00:59:00.001+08:00

Jayden has this bad habit of running around like a wild monkey out of its cage these days. In the malls or any public places for that matter.

This evening as usual he ran and ran ahead of us without looking back, which means we have to chase him right? And if he sees us chasing him, he'll run even faster... Tell u... James and I got damn frustrated and angry cos we told him many many times not to do it!!!

'cannot run around like that! What if someone catches u? What if mummy and daddy can't find u? You'll have to sleep in the mall alone! You cannot go home with us and you'll cry all by yourself!'

With all these scolding and lecturing, it can only last for a while before he RUNS again... Sigh anyone experiencing the same thing?

Anyway, so this evening scolded from the mall, all the way to the car park and inside the car still lecturing him, guessed what he replied to daddy very calmly?

'daddy don't shout, people sleeping already'

U tell me PEK CHEK or not???? *blood boils*

Daddy's Fav Tee

2011-08-23T04:08:00.001+08:00

This is one of Daddy's fav tee for Jayden, needless to say why :-)

Weekend is here!

2011-08-12T23:15:00.001+08:00

TGIF! Weekend is here again... here's sharing a joke to let your hair down, kick off your shoes and just laze around :-)

Dad buys a LIE DETECTOR ROBOT which slaps people when they lie. He decides to test it at dinner.
"Son, where were you today?" The son says "at school dad.
" Robot slaps the son! "Ok, I watched a dvd at my friends house!"
"What dvd?" "Toy story." Robot slaps the son again! "Ok, it was a porno" cries the son. Dad yells "What! When I was your age I didn't know what porn was!" Robot then slaps the dad! Mom laughs "HaHaHa! He's certainly YOUR son." Robot then slaps the mom!!!!! ~~~

Have a great weekend everyone!

Homemade Western Meal ala Kristie

2011-08-12T00:34:00.004+08:00

I admit I love to eat, I love food, I'm a glutton!

Eating out these days can really cost a bomb. Who doesn't like to dine out and be served rather than to be busily chopping and sweatin' out in the kitchen eh? Oh well... sometimes have to cut back on dining out, and who will be willing to cook in the kitchen? Mummy lah.... Have to try and save money as we have upcoming plans to give our home a 'facelift', changing doors/door frames/bedroom flooring/wallpaper/new furniture etc... that will be another post :-)

Ok back to the subject... I was in the mood for Western today, cracked my head the whole day and came up with this for dinner.... :-)

From left: Carrot & Celery sticks with dip, Garlic Bread, Roasted Vege & Parmesan Crusted Fish

Fresh from the oven

Roasted green peppers, shitake mushrooms, french beans and tomatoes

The tomatoes were so juicy and yummy!

Plated for dinner! Roasted veges

Parmesan Crusted Fish

Homemade Garlic Bread... yumz with lots of garlic

One of my favourites when dining out especially at TGIF!

Carrot & Celery sticks served with homemade dip

Am still so full from dinner... *burp* excuse me :p

Jayden and I whacked a tub of strawberries about an hour after dinner! This boy can really eat man... he's my growing baby! :-)

Phuket Trip

2011-08-10T00:59:00.000+08:00

We were in Phuket for a 4D3N stay... there were 6 of us altogether, my parents, my sis and the 3 of us :-)

This time round, we didn't stay right smack in the heart of Patong, in fact, we stayed about an hour's drive away, nestled along Mai Khao Beach. Therefore, we rented a car to get around, all road signages were very clear and with the help of a GPS, we could go anywhere we wanted!

This is trip was planned to coincide with my 2 darlings' birthdays, Jayden & Daddy, which was just 4 days apart. Also to take my parents for a good trip, just rest and relax... they deserve a good break!

No fixed itinerary... no packaged tours etc........ just rest and relax! It was sheer bliss.... :-)

The minute we checked into the villa, we headed to the nearest hypermarket which was Tesco Lotus, to stock up on food and drinks so that no one will go hungry hehe... and we also planned to make our own breakies every morning...!

And as usual, every trip ends so quickly when we are enjoying ourselves every single second & minute of everyday!

He's one water baby! SO happy in the water :-) This was in the private plunge pool in the villa

Just us in the pool:-)

mama enjoying herself!

darling & mama

my love

Having a splashin' good time!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Planning another vacation!

2011-08-07T01:57:00.001+08:00

Hubs was pretty lucky to receive Firefly vouchers from a bank recently when he went to do some banking! I'm sure you must be wondering how come so good right? Well to cut long story short... bank made a mistake and to 'make up' for it, they compensated hubs with some vouchers such as this below and a free hotel stay :-)

Of cos I wasted no time to plan a vacation......... where to? :-)

Somewhere with sun kissing my skin, sand below my feet and the sea to wash my troubles away....

I'm SO excited.............. :-)

Just got back from Phuket few days ago... Will post pix soon of our unforgettable Phuket vacation!

xoxo

Happy birthday to Hubs! xoxo

2011-08-05T02:00:00.000+08:00

Happy birthday Daddy!

Thanks for always caring for us and spoiling us rotten with your love and TLC :-)

You're the best Hubby & Daddy we could ever have!

It's your day! Let us have SO much fun together, like always :-)

Love U!!!!! Mummy & Jayden xoxo ♥ ♥ ♥

Why he sighed

2011-08-04T14:14:00.002+08:00

I was bz around the house this afternoon after our lunch and Jayden made me angry by dirtying himself. So off mummy went babbling... Blah blah blah...

M: why you always have to make me angry?
J: *quiet*
M: you must make mummy happy, not angry!
J: yes make mummy happy not angry

After 5 mins, he kept walking around the house sighing 'hai hai hai' and looking glum.

M: u ok? What's wrong with u keep sighing?
J: I want make mummy happy!

Haha... At least he knows how to feel bad :p

After a hug and a kiss, he was all smiles again! And so is mummy :-))))))

Jayden meets Lightning McQueen!

2011-07-06T02:09:00.001+08:00

When I saw my friends taking photos of the 'live' version of Lightning McQueen, I've been trying to hunt him down! Jayden is a HUGE fan of McQueen :-)

I first saw a photo of McQueen taken at Sunway pyramid. When I wanted to check it out, I was too late, missed the boat. McQueen left soon after school holidays was over.

Then I traced it down to IPC- Ikano power centre! I called up IPC to check if it was still there and they said YES!

I immediately told Jayden that we were going to see McQueen car, I think I was more excited than him haha.

Jayden meets Lightning McQueen!

Mummy, Jayden & McQueen :-)

Mater & Jayden

Daddy, Jayden & McQueen

Jayden was delighted when he saw a bigger version of McQueen, he's always been playing with McQueen cars, seeing a real car in person is crazy! :-)

The small humble town~ Radiator Springs

Ka-chow!

We can't wait for Cars 2 to hit the big screens!

His 1st Cinematic Experience!

2011-06-21T21:39:00.001+08:00

Been waiting for the right time to bring Jayden to the cinemas. And what better time than now when Kungfu Panda 2 is showing on the big screen!

Few days before the day, we've been telling him about going to the cinemas and he was looking forward! I kept telling him 'you're gonna watch cartoon on a BIG BIG tv screen!' 'inside cinema cannot talk loudly, only whisper' etc etc.

On the day itself, I think I was more excited than the lil' one haha. We were going to watch a movie together as a family! That was something I've been looking forward to as well since jayden was born ;)

Sitting in between us on the couple seat! It was entirely a new experience for me to have someone separating me and hubs haha while watching a movie haha! Also I wasn't used to not having the popcorn all to myself! Jayden kept snatching it away from me, all my life I always had it to myself haha... Well that's something new :p

Happy family. Camwhoring before movie commenced.

Happy boy with his popcorn! Overall I must say he behaved pretty well. Of course he didn't sit throughout the movie, can't expect a toddler to sit quietly for 1-2 hours right? He stood pretty much towards the other half of the movie ;)

Daddy, Jayden & Po!

Mummy, Jayden & Po ;)

Yes that's next on our list! Cars movie ;) after the movie, we went to Tony Roma's for dinner.

TR's Fried Mushrooms, I Love this!

Our sumptuous dinner to end a beautiful outing!

My 3rd Gymboree Loot!

2011-05-27T14:44:00.001+08:00

This is my 3rd loot so far from Gymboree! I love the quality of the clothing.

Here's my little model posing ;)

He's happy with all his new clothing ;)

He loves his hat too! It's so cute ;)

He requested for me to take a photo of him with the hat, my lil' vainpot! Haha

Peek a Boo'

Thanks mummy! Xoxo

Cut cut cut

2011-05-04T15:20:00.001+08:00

We had a simple lunch at a Shanghainese restaurant just near our place before we headed to a salon on the same row for a long overdue haircut for Jayden my lil' boss :o)

What is kor kor doing?

Ok let's do it! Jayden is used to going out for haircuts now... Phew!

Very well behaved. No fuss!

Blow dry & we're done!

Ta-da! My handsome pumpkin hehe

Shop shop shop- Gymboree

2011-04-25T17:12:00.001+08:00

Recently found out from Mummy Moon that she's organizing a shopping spree for mummies to shop at Gymboree .

After browsing around their sale items. I bought some stuffs for Jayden.

A pair of socks, a cap, a shorts and a reversible tee! I'm satisfied with the quality ;)

Jayden with his cap on, he loves it!

Shortly after I received my loot, Moon informed me that there's another round organized... More shopping! Lol.

My 2nd round's loot is bigger and expected to arrive end of this month ;) managed to get more stuffs for Jayden, my nephew and niece ;)

Pussy-man

2011-04-21T01:30:00.001+08:00

Jayden loves playing all sorts of puzzles.

One day, he told me 'mummy, let's play pussy-man puzzle!'

I was thinking to myself like 'wth is that?'

And he kept saying the same thing over and over again... 'pussy man pussy man'

What he meant to say was 'PERSIMMON'

Lol!!!!! I laughed so hard till my tummy ached :p

Back to Gym & I Feel So GOOD!

2011-04-19T02:48:00.006+08:00

Before I had Jayden, I used to be very active in gym. Naturally, when I had him, I stopped going to gym and classes i.e. body combat, body attack etc for 2 yrs +... was really itching to go back! And I finally did! After MIA for more than 2 yrs...

And best part? Hubs joined me too! Yipppeeeeeeeeee ;) I went back to Celebrity Fitness again, and they have a kids centre inside the compound so we do bring Jayden along... the family that exercises together, stays together! Kids dance and yoga classes are offered during the weekends.

Since last weekend, Subang Parade has this Health and Beauty Fair from 15-24 April 2011. And as part of the fair, Celebrity Fitness has been organising classes such as Body Combat, Dance Mania, Hip Hop and more at the concourse area just below Uncle Lim's.

Last Saturday, I joined the 3-hr Body Combat Challenge, it was so fun! Imagine punching and kicking for 3 hours non stop? Wow... it was heart thumping and blood pumping! Real adrenaline rush for me... enjoyed it to the MAX. Normally classes will be held in the studios inside Celebrity Fitness upstairs, but just for these 2 weekends, classes will be held at the concourse in Subang Parade. You can check out Subang Parade's FB page to find out what are the programs planned out for the Health & Beauty Fair, ending 24th April :)

Below is the group photo taken after the challenge was over, we DID IT! Copied this from Subang Parade's facebook page, so it's not very clear :) Can you spot me?

I Would Do Anything 4 U!

2011-04-08T17:26:00.012+08:00

Jayden has been growing so fast and his vocab expanding exponentially till I really can't keep up with it... I just wanna enjoy my conversations with him and introduce new words to him everyday ;)

Here are some daily situations that really made my day...!

While we showered together, he sometimes likes to play with his KKJ.....

M: stop playing with your KKJ, later break only you know
J: break can buy new one (LOL)
M: KKJ only got one, cannot buy one
J: ok no buy, put back! hahahahahaha...................

I had a small blister on my left foot... so again while we were showering together, I showed him the blister.

M: see mummy's feet, painful
J: no pain, I sayang *stroking my feet*
M: thanks darling, I feel so much better!
J: no more pain ok? Takes watering can filled with water and 'water' my feet to take away the pain... ;)

After having his lunch prepared by yours truly....

M: are u full, done?
J: yes, full
M: ok, good boy, u finished almost everything!
J: thank u mummy
M: welcome my love
J: later, u cook dinner for me ok?
M: *heart melts* Jayden @ 32 months

Father's Day Gifts

2011-04-02T22:29:00.005+08:00

Father's Day is often overshadowed by the very celebrated Mother's Day all over the world. Come Mother's Day, shops are filled with displays of heart shaped balloons, bouquet of red roses, lovely cards in hues of pink and purple, and so much more. To me, personally, both events are equally important like how both my Dad & Mum are my top priorities in my life. When it comes to shopping gifts for the men in my life, I often have to give myself more time to ‘shop’ for them, would it be a wallet? A shirt? A pen? A towel? I still remembered on one of the Father’s Day few years back, I personally baked a Mango Cheesecake to celebrate Father’s Day for the 3 Fathers in my family: my Dad, my brother and my hubby, it was very well received indeed! Nothing beats a personalised gift and if you want to save the hassle of baking a cake, you can always shop for personalised Father’s Day gifts at The Handpicked Collection. This online gifts website has a wide array of gifts for him, for her, for kids and for babies too! From cufflinks and personalised Ale for Daddy to luxurious, pampering gifts for Mummy and gorgeous Christening gifts for babies, there is absolutely something for everyone. Since Mother’s Day and Father’s Day are just a few months away, no harm browsing around and it’s never too early to shop for gifts for the special ones in your life now!

Letter from Mum & Dad

2011-03-30T03:02:00.002+08:00

This is just so touching, never fails to get me... *sob*

Never take your loved ones for granted! Life is short, anything can happen at any point of our lives.

♥ Socks For Japan ♥

2011-03-22T18:25:00.009+08:00

Dear friends & loved ones,

Here’s a way you can help Japan, directly and meaningfully.

Hundreds of people, in all parts of the world, would like to help the victims of the devastating earthquake that struck Japan on March 11. There are many places to donate money, and that’s a wonderful thing to do, but direct aid is also cherished by victims.

Socks are cheap, easy to come by and easy to package and ship.

So I would like to make you aware of a wonderful operation called "SOCKS FOR JAPAN"!

Socks for Japan was created and is run by Jason Kelly, a man who lives in Japan and was there when the earthquake and tsunami struck. Thankfully his area was safe, and as he says on the site "My office location is perfect for managing a direct-aid operation because it’s close enough to the primary damage zone that we can physically get there to help, but far enough away that mail delivery is working."

You can send socks to Socks for Japan along with a care letter. The socks will then be handed out to victims of the disaster. The gift, although small, will be sure to bring a smile to someone's face in these hard times. A small note of comfort goes a long way if someone is feeling down, so be sure to include a kind care letter.

WHY SOCKS?
Several reasons. Many of the victims ended up barefoot after fleeing in a hurry. In the disaster zone, feet get wet and then extra cold at night, especially in currently freezing weather. People often forget about socks in favour of more obvious items like blankets and jackets. Receiving a new, fresh pair of socks provides a moment of comfort. If those socks arrive with a caring note as well, it’s very heartening for victims. If you’ve ever been stuck in a pair of wet, cold socks or no socks at all, perhaps you remember how soothing it felt to pull on a warm, dry pair. Victims have already requested socks on TV news.

Tell your friends, family, school or workplace about Socks for Japan, and please spread the awareness of this cause! Whether you donate 1 pair or 50 pairs, each is equally important.

Here are some info and how people around the world are doing their part for this project:

http://www.koolred.com/blog/viewblog.php?blog=8155715274&pid=697847722
http://news.deviantart.com/article/146424/

Am compiling donations and they are rolling in continuously! Deadline is this Friday, 25th March 2011. All donations will be recorded for full accountability and transparency towards this cause.

Kindly contact me through email: k305@yahoo.com for further details on how you can do your part! Add me through Facebook (k305@yahoo.com) to update yourself on the progress of this project.

You can visit SOCKS FOR JAPAN on Facebook for more info!

Thank you and God bless.

We Like to Eat Snowflake!

2011-03-02T00:55:00.001+08:00

We've always wanted to try Snowflake, famous for its Taiwanese deserts in SS15 Subang for a long time. But it's always packed packed packed and no seats available.

After reading some fellow bloggers' blogs on their experience at Snowflakes, I knew I just had to try it!

And the verdict?

We all LOVE IT!!!!! Am definitely heading back there in the near future ;)

When you make your order, you'll be given this UFO. When it starts to vibrate and flashes its lights, your order is ready to be collected!

Mummy, why so long....

Ta-da! Our order is ready!

Their bestseller Taro series, not bad.

I love this- Soya series with red beans, cincao, yam, black pearls.

Yummy!

We licked our bowls clean ;)

Din Tai Fung @ Empire Subang

2011-02-26T01:05:00.001+08:00

We've passed by this new restaurant on several occasions but never got the chance to try it. So while thinking of what to eat this evening while walking around the mall, we decided to try Din Tai Fung @ ESG.

The entrance

Menu- u can tell what's their speciality already, yeah Xiao Long Bao 小笼包！

Appetizer- Japanese cucumber with some kind of chilli oil, not bad

Xiao Long Bao 小笼包, I love it when u eat it with lots of Ginger and vinegar... Yum ;)

Century egg

Darling's la mian- not bad, spicy!

My pork chop la mian- not bad too. But I'd rather order spicy food anytime. But one of us has to order something Jayden can have too ;)

Taiwanese spring rolls, tasty!

The dried chili was really spicy!

Dessert- black sesame tang yuan in red bean soup- we all love this Esp Jayden!

Mmm, black sesame filling- my fav...

Thousand layer steamed cake served with black sesame paste and condensed milk. Too simple for my liking.

Jayden helping me to blow
The red bean soup cos it was piping hot ;)

My 2 precious men ;)

And it's car ride for Jayden while daddy went for a haircut!

More fun @ Toysrus for the lil' one ;)

Swensens

2011-02-25T14:06:00.001+08:00

One evening after dinner, we felt greedy and craved for something sweet, so off we went to swensens which was just 5 mins drive away ;)

Ordered Mr. Big Smile for Jayden

Coit Tower for me ;)

Darling ordered a fish baked rice

I personally feel that the standard has dropped slightly... Pricing doesn't match food quality...

Next time I'll just settle for mcd's sundae cone or yogi yogi ice cream, cheap and good! Hehe.

Jayden's haircut

2011-02-22T02:22:00.001+08:00

Jayden used to hate going to salons for haircuts. So yours truly used to be the hairdresser for him but today changed everything!

I brought him to a salon near the house and told him all morning what we were gonna do! Yes- going for a haircut ;)

Weather's been so hot recently and everytime he perspires, he'll scratch his head non stop. So better go for a quick trim ;)

Before

Behaved very well :)

Nearly there!

And After!

I'm so proud of u darling ;) u are such a big boy now. U behaved so well at the salon, no fuss, no whining. U passed with flying colours!!!! Muaks ;)

And for behaving so well, here's your reward ;) a happy meal @ Mcd and a sundae cone ;)

Yummy!

Tnx mummy!

School Shoes for Boys & Girls

2011-01-05T22:05:00.004+08:00

It’s the new year and most parents will naturally be shopping for new school shoes for the new school year. Have you done yours yet? If you’re really scrambling for extra time to go shopping, you can always check out the site above I stumbled upon online. They have many types of shoes, from pre walker shoes, slippers to boots for both genders and even adorable wellies!

I am amazed with the varieties of footwear it has for both boys and girls! There is a wide array of shoes varying from UK Size 2 up to size 11. There’s basically something for everyone. The shoes are stylish, comfortable and practical for all kinds of activities.

If you have not purchased shoes online before, fret not, startriteshoes has all the tools and guidelines to help you purchase that right size for your child. They have proper size charts and videos to guide customers on how to purchase the right shoe size for your child. No more purchasing too small or too big shoes online!

This interactive video below- Click'n'Fit will show you how to take photos of your child’s feet, from different angles and upload them to their website. After a few clicks, the system will analyse the photos you’ve uploaded and within minutes, you will know the right shoe size to get! Easy peasy ;)

BBQ Parties & Picnics!

2011-01-03T13:01:00.006+08:00

I love having barbecues during parties. I find that it really helps to bond and foster camaraderie among family, old & new friends alike. Still remember the last BBQ party I had was last year, a friend organised a picnic at the park. We brought along those disposable BBQ sets which was perfect for our outing! No washing up, just dispose after use ;) Of course, if you were to have a BBQ party at home, a full set of BBQ set plus utensils will make the whole cooking experience more wholesome! If you’re looking for good quality BBQ sets, utensils and accessories, do check out that site my friend recommended to me!

We used cooler bags to keep the cold meats and cheese fresh. Wine bottles, beer cans and packet drinks were kept in the cooler bags to thirst our quench on that very hot day. The rest of the picnic goodies were packed into picnic baskets and the normal plastic bags... those were the times you wished you had a pretty picnic basket like this!

And if you are planning to organise a romantic picnic getaway just for you and your partner, this compact picnic backpack will ensure everything is kept fresh and at easy reach!

Jayden Says

2010-12-16T02:53:00.002+08:00

Jayden's vocabulary has been expanding at such a fast pace the last few months that it's hard to keep up!

This was a recent conversation between us ;)

Scene: mummy just came into the room and saw the heater still switched on outside the bathroom. Jayden was sitting on the bed reading books. I assumed daddy was taking a bath.

Mummy: where's daddy? Daddy pong pong (bathing)?
Jayden: no, daddy go make nen nen (milk) downstairs
Mummy: no lah, daddy pong pong, see the heater lights still on
Jayden: no mummy! (he insisted) daddy go make nen nen, no pong pong! Not same, different!
Mummy: ok let me see if daddy is in the shower... (opens door and there was no one in there!)

Jayden looked at me and gave me a 'didn't I tell u so' look!

My lil' pumpkin is growing so fast, talking like a big boy now!

Jayden @ 2 yrs 4 months

Soup & Crackers

2010-12-09T16:31:00.002+08:00

This is one comfort meal & snack Jayden and I both enjoy.

It's a quick meal to put together when u don't feel like handling much utensils or cooking ;)

Crackers soaked in soup. Jayden loves this! This is chicken pasta soup.

Both flavours are nice

No msg added

These crackers are really tasty. Bought it from a recent Korean food fair.

Christmas shopping

2010-12-09T00:05:00.001+08:00

Did some shopping recently and below are some goodies for myself for Christmas, since I've been a good girl, I decided to pamper myself :p

Did shopping for christmas presents too, the one behind with the Teddy bear is Jayden's!

Have you done yours yet? ;)

Best BKT in town!

2010-12-08T17:11:00.001+08:00

My new BKT haunt in Klang! It's known as the 4 eyed brothers BKT. Simply because both bros wear specs!

Along Jalan Kepayang, Klang.

The soup is so thick and fragrant, almost syrupy at times! You can't help but ask for more soup each time I eat there ;)

P/s. This is also the 1st time I'm blogging from my phone. Thanks to Blogpress!

2010-11-19T14:57:00.005+08:00

Kimmy & Julie's little girl, Baby Sam passed away this afternoon :(

I saw it on Rachel's FB post then a sms from her.

The last update on Baby Sam on their blog didn't look very good already.

We all prayed hard but I guess maybe she just had to let go, I hope Baby Sam is happy now up in heaven with Jesus and his guardian angels playing with you.

From when we first met in Uni...........

Free Seats @ Air Asia!

2010-11-10T12:33:00.004+08:00

Is this sight familiar to you? Since AA launched the free seats promo a few days ago, it's been so hard to get their free seats online...... this is a common sight.... buzz buzz, busy bee!

If you really want to get the free seats, it can be done, but u have to be SUPER PATIENT! U will just have to pay for tax, and optional add-ons like pick your seat, in flight meals, insurance etc.

If the website is really clogged up, you could try booking from your mobile as well: mobile.airasia.com, less 'jam', smoother traffic.

Book now, travel next July-November. It's good to plan ahead eh? :)

Good thing, my patience paid off.... managed to get flights for us!

*2 adults + 1 child return flight to Langkawi- RM105 only!
*2 adults return flight to Bali- RM326 only!

If you are a frequent traveller, you will know that it's impossible to get these pricing during normal booking periods.......... ;)

Now I'm looking forward to my pre-booked holidays!!!!!

Free Backpack!

2010-11-03T23:45:00.003+08:00

Scott's Emulsion is once again giving away freebies with purchase of their Scott's Emulsion Cod Liver Oil! If you always have a bottle or two in your cupboard, it's an excuse to stock up and collect all 3 designs of their backpack too ;)

This time round, they are giving away Friends of Nature Backpacks! Designs are really cute, they have Frog, Penguin and Tiger ;)

Jayden chose the tiger :)

Visit to Bookxcess!

2010-10-29T00:20:00.008+08:00

Haven't been to Bookxcess for some time and since we were attending a friend's boy's 2nd birthday party at A&W just outside Amcorp Mall, we decided to go over after the party was over!

I was really looking forward to some good buys there. Also, I made a reservation for Julie & Julia after I saw their new arrivals on FB.... So go look see look see, anything else I could get for my lil' pumpkin as well ;)

Julie & Julia- heard great reviews on the movie, haven't watched it though, hope this book will be a good read, I badly need one!

Books for Jayden!

A crossword puzzle book for me... to take my mind off work every now and then ;)

More goodies... wooden puzzles and Madagascar fridge magnets!

♥ My Besties ♥

2010-10-27T16:17:00.005+08:00

Was down in Singapore a few weeks back to visit my best pals. We studied together in high school... yup was studying in Singapore for the most of my school years... resided in JB but studied across the causeway... it was bas sekolah everyday and customs everyday! Sounds tiring right? haha... I wake up as early as 5am ok... bus picks up at 5.30am.......... can't imagine how I survived that, haha. Anyway thanks to the wonderful revolution of social networking, we've been keeping in touch ever since and made sure we make a point to visit each other at least 1-2 times a year :) Either I go over, or they come over ;)

Anyway back to the present.

Yes, I went alone to Sg, yes just me alone, without James & Jayden.... it was bliss bliss bliss!!!!

A short weekend getaway for me, without chores, without kiddo, without work..... well James says I deserve it, so thanks darling! haha

But the funny thing was, everytime I saw family with kids walking around the mall, I couldn't help but miss Jayden SO much... I even sobbed quietly a few times :( Each time I missed him so much, I just picked up the phone to call and speak to him! See... how to let go? haha :p

It was a very short trip, and what did we do? We talked A LOT, ate A LOT and had LOTS of FUN! haha... Let the pix do the talking ;)

More photos here & here!

Long time no see!

2010-10-26T22:53:00.005+08:00

Hey my dear blog and friends,

Long time no see! How have you guys been?

Been blog hopping recently and really missed reading all your blogs, stories to share and see all the cute photos of your kiddos!

Anyway I will try to 'rev my engine' to blog again *promise* hehe

Mummy and Jayden says hi to all, we missed u! :)

Some jokes I received through email to share with u too hehe...........

Jayden's Got a Tattoo!

2010-07-23T18:20:00.002+08:00

Bought this tattoo sticker book from a shop recently... so cute right! haha... bad mummy, introduce tattoo to Jayden at such a young age :p Actually mummy has been wanting to get one, of cos not this, a real one, but still contemplating :p

Some of the other designs in the book

Jayden was so intrigued when I applied the design on his arm haha... had to rub it down with a wet cloth till it sticks onto the skin.... he was so fidgety!

Ta-da! The end product... Jayden was delighted that his hand got picture! hahahaha

Daiso Loot

2010-07-15T01:02:00.003+08:00

The other day after meeting up with Mummygwen to pass her the order of clothing from MummyJays Fashionista, I decided to pop by Daiso since I've not been there for a while.... ;)

Go all the way there, sure must get something right??? But must really be careful... one item RM5, sometimes not careful can get heart attack at cashier...hehehe

I slowly took my time to walk aisle by aisle from the beginning... until I realised store was closing... sped on and just took glances at stuffs as I stroll my way to the cashier........ hehehe... end up everything I got, was for... u know who lah.... who else? Jayden lah! :) well, except for 1 pack of dish sponges for me :)

Got a drawing block for Jayden, he likes scribbling, doodling now...

A blue drinking cup for him...

Drinking straws

An art puncher, smiley face

Ice popsicle maker

Football Jerseys for Jayden

2010-07-06T12:28:00.006+08:00

Yes, another free meal.... again at Manhattan Fish Market, this time for Daddies! ;) The last time was a free meal for Mother's Day hehe.... looks like this may be a annual thing... keep a lookout! haha....

Happy Jayden with Happy Daddy!

Jayden loves the mushroom soup ;)

I must say this is one of the most yummy fish & chips I've ever eaten.... James loved it, so he was very satisfied with the meal.... heheh!

I ordered the Baked Dory, very yummy.... fish so soft and flaky ;)

My cheeky pumpkin

New item, Tuna salad... I like the dressing ;)

Happy Father's Day darling! :)

Free Blouse! :)

2010-06-25T15:22:00.006+08:00

Remember just the other day, I blogged abt IreneLim Fashion and how it was giving away free dresses?

Well after blogging about their promo, I proceeded to 'purchase' the dress I initially wanted. But it was out of stock :( So I browsed through their selection again and saw this pretty blouse. My mum was with me and I asked her opinion, she said 'this is pretty'! :) So I settled for this.

Very efficient... package arrived this morning!

Nice? I really like the material, very soft, chiffon-y ;)

Jayden & mummy

Jayden didn't want to miss out on the action too hhehe...

Quick, you can have yours too! Just hope over here..... ;)

Appeton Multivitamin

2010-06-22T16:18:00.003+08:00

Recently bought a Appeton multivitamin for Jayden to consume. It's never too early to start right? He's been taking Scott's Emulsion Cod Liver Oil for some time now, and that is mainly to boost his immune system. A multivitamin will be good to provide other vitamins and minerals his body lacks.

It tastes really pleasant, not too sweet and comes in these cute star shapes, Jayden loves it hehe :)

Online Shopping is SO Addictive!

2010-06-22T12:23:00.000+08:00

Ever since I managed to lose a few kgs with Leptin slimming products, I've been so 'vain' haha! Been looking and shopping for other clothing to buy and tried on clothing I never thought I could fit into! :p

Apart from shopping at malls over the weekends, I've also shopped online... For a stay-at-home-mum like me, online shopping is virtually my 24/7 online hobby! I can shop anytime I want, no want to bother me, just a few clicks and my order is confirmed and processed. In the next few days, I just wait patiently as the postman comes to deliver my orders!!!

There are several online shopping sites catering to women fashion. The one I particularly like is IreneLim Fashion. Its website is very clean, easy to view their products with their user-friendly layout and of cos pretty models to view too ;)

I like this dress! So pretty and sweet ;)

IreneLim Fashion has promotions every now and then and the latest promo is catered to the blogger & website owner community! Yes you! They are giving away FREE dresses for bloggers and website owners. How cool is that ey? :) The word 'free' is enough to excite you right? Well, it did for me :p

The above dress is just one of the dresses they are giving away... there are more than 60 other choices from blouses, pants and more... What are you waiting for? :)

Jayden the Typist

2010-06-21T12:21:00.002+08:00

Jayden likes to come kacau me when I am using the pc. And since they like to imitate adults and pretend to type and 'whack' the keyboard, I opened Microsoft Word for him and let him type away...... increased the font size to 40 and he was so happy typing hahah.... Good way to teach him ABCs and 123s too!

Of cos after a while he gets carried away and just simply 'slam' the keys... aiyoh.... *sayang my keyboard.....

This is a snippet of the document he produced hehehhe.... Next time should just ask him to press numbers, so I can buy 4D, BAD MUMMY.......hahahah :p

♥Happy Father's Day Daddy James!♥

2010-06-20T12:01:00.001+08:00

Free Italiannies Meal!

2010-06-19T12:07:00.007+08:00

Last month, Italiannies officially opened in Empire Shopping Gallery on 12th May.

But before that, they had training sessions for their staff from 8th-10th May. And during these sessions, complimentary meals were offered to the public! When I saw this on facebook, I wasted no time and called to reserve a table for the 3 of us! :)

So happened, it was on Mother's Day itself... so it was a good treat for us, plus, it was all complimentary! ;)

Let's see what we had for dinner....

To start off, we were served freshly baked bread served with balsamic vinegar and olive oil infused with rosemary......... this was heavenly!

Jayden loved the bread... he kept looking at the plate to check if there were still any bread left.. of cos we ate a few slices and gave him the rest......... hehe

Ice Lemon Tea

Entree- Clam soup in tomato broth... this was so yummy and light. As James doesn't take seafood, the clams were all for me hahahahh....

Jayden and his keys....

Cappuccino... huge cup!

Angel Hair Carbonara with Sausage Balls... this portion was really huge! Heavy on the tummy as well, rich in cheese, cream etc..... but very yummy.

Good food, great company, he's a happy man! ;)

One for memory lane :)

Jayden loved the pasta!

Californian Shrimp Salad
Seasoned grilled shrimp, mangoes, oranges, tomatoes and cream cheese with baby spinach and romaine lettuce, tossed with orange vinaigrette dressing. YUMMY!

munching on tomatoes

Comments card

We were given monopoly money to pay for our bill hehe... pretty funny, we knew it was complimentary... still we 'played' along and called for the bill haha. We told the waiter, 'Keep the change!' haha...

Thanks Italiannies for the wonderful meal!

You can add them on Facebook too and get notified on future promos!

After that, we walked around and I saw a poster of Elmo the Mascot appearing in Empire on that day. I told James we had to look for Elmo! Just as we were walking towards the concourse, there he was.... I tell u, Jayden was ecstatic! He ran all the way towards Elmo and hugged him!

Jayden loves Elmo!!!!

Jayden is now 22 mths!

2010-06-18T12:39:00.002+08:00

For the 1st time, I'm late in making a scrapbook for Jayden.......... every month when he turns a month older, I never fail to make one for him... this time, I'm half a month late :p

Been busy with my Leptin business..... hehehehe.. sorry love.

Always remember that Daddy and Mummy love you loooooaaaddds ok! xooxoxoxox :)

Left or Right?

2010-06-15T16:39:00.004+08:00

Spot anything wrong?

Jayden loves to wear his own shoes now.... heheh... and he can put them on the entire day at home as well... when we are about to go out 'kai kai', he will quickly rush to get his shoes and attempt to put it on himself, very independent, mummy and daddy's so proud of u! :)

I've lost 4.5kg!

2010-06-03T01:33:00.007+08:00

............ in less than a month!

Yes... your eyes are not playing tricks with you.

I still can't believe I managed to shed off weight so quickly as well.

After having a child, I've always struggled with losing weight, hoping for a flatter tummy, losing those love handles... going down a size or two in my clothing :)

Naturally, I have tried different methods/products in the market and they have always disappointed me, furthermore I'm a very impatient person... I want to see results Quick and Fast! :)

4.5kg lost in less than a month is something I never thought I could do or even witness, seriously.

I'm consuming a slimming product and I still take normal meals... the best part? No starving, no dieting! ;)

Drop me ur email here, and I'll provide u with more info! You can also check out more on my album in Facebook.

Cheers :)

Free Meal for Mothers @ Manhattan Fish Market!

2010-06-01T12:05:00.011+08:00

I read in Facebook last month just before Mother's Day that MFM was rewarding mothers with a free meal in conjunction with Mother's Day. How awesome right??? :)

Of course, I wasted no time in reserving seats for the 3 of us. We had it just a day before Mother's Day, sat evening.

The free meal consists of a main course + mushroom soup + ice lemon tea

James ordered whitebait... didn't really like it...

I had Fish & Chips as my main course, it was so yummy! One of the best I've tasted :)

Fresh and yummy, see how flaky it is....

James ordered Cod Fish, yummy. Only complain was the portion was too small for him.

One for the album, smile! :)))))

Darling enjoying the meal

Jayden too! He loves the rice, fish and chips

Thanks MFM for the wonderful meal!!!! :) You can join them at FB so that you get updates on their promotions too :)

Cheesy Brownie for dessert from Dessert's Bar. Damn good, one of the best I've ever tasted!

Registered to vote! So happen they had a booth there, I quickly took the chance to register as a voter. It's about time!

What is Gekko?

Gekko is the revolutionary DASHBOARD MANAGER that holds objects even at vertical position.

Starbucks Buy 1 Free 1

2010-05-26T17:11:00.005+08:00

To promote the Starbucks outlet in Empire Shopping Gallery, they've been giving out these Buy 1 Free 1 vouchers to Starbucks customers.

James managed to get a few when he bought a drink there a few weeks back. Yippeee, we wasted no time in using these privileges :)

2 Dark Mochas, love its semi-sweet chocolate bits... (I think this was the culprit for my tonsillitis!)

A free Starbucks keychain made of pewter, cool :)

Another day, we had a Green Tea Frappuccino and Raspberry Blackcurrant Frappuccino

Jayden had a taste of both drinks... we limited his consumption as we don't want him to be sugar high...!

Eeyore did not miss out on the action, he too, wanted a sip ;p Btw, Eeyore is one of Jayden's best friends!

We still have a few more vouchers and they are expiring on 31st May, so we might go for another few more rounds........ Cheers!

Jayden's Excavator

2010-05-26T01:48:00.006+08:00

James has been wanting to get a remote control toy for Jayden for some time. And everytime we see one, it's either too expensive or the design is not nice. Also, mummy is always the one saying, 'Don't buy lah, got so many toys at home already!' :p

The other day when we were out, James saw this at a stall selling toys, the seller was playing with it. Jayden was very fast to see it, and zoomed towards it rightaway! He is fascinated with all kinds of vehicles :) And since it wasn't too pricey, we decided to get it for him. He went home a happy boy alright!

ta-da! his very 1st remote control toy ;)

Jayden getting hands on! He was having so much fun :) I'm glad Jayden loved it, it helps in hand/eye coordination as well.

Jayden was so 'into' this toy for a long long time! Daddy & Mummy got into the action too, I liked chasing Jayden with the excavator haha...

Dream A Little Dream of Me

2010-05-24T02:20:00.002+08:00

I Love Glee!!!!!!!!!!! ♥

I've always loved music, dance and drama. So when movies combine any of these elements, I'm definitely a fan. I love musicals too, the last one I watched was Mamma Mia! Awesome performance, really miss it!

This is another lovely one from Glee- Dream A Little Dream

Enjoy and have a lovely start to a wonderful week! :)

Feel free to sing along...

Stars shining bright above you
Night breezes seem to whisper
I love you
Birds singin' in the sycamore tree
Dream a little dream of me

Say "nighty night" and kiss me
Just hold me tight and tell me
you'll miss me.
While I'm alone and blue as can be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on..
dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger til dawn..
dear
Just saying this

Sweet dreams til sun beams find you
Sweet dreams that leave our worries behind you.
But in your dreams, whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Stars fading but I linger on dear
Still craving your kiss
I'm longing to linger til dawn
dear
Just saying this..

Sweet dreams til sun beams find you
Sweet dreams that leave our worries behind you
But in your dreams. whatever they be
Dream a little dream of me

Google Pacman

2010-05-22T14:31:00.004+08:00

I'm a big fan of Google. Today when I went into the site to search for something, the logo caught my attention!

Close up. It's actually designed like the Pacman game. I used to play that all the time! :) Check it out soon, cos they change their logos all the time, u can see the pacman moving around, really cool!

p/s. Just found out that it's actually Pacman's 30th Anniversary, hence the special recognition and customization :) You can play the Pacman game, it's fun! :)

His Fascination With Cars!

2010-05-21T16:57:00.008+08:00

Before we headed off to Toysrus @ Empire Shopping Gallery, Jayden's fantasy land, we had Kenny Rogers for dinner. That evening, we really didn't knew what to eat... walked around for a while and decided to have KR since we didn't have it for quite some time already.

Jayden and his best friend, Pooh bear

James ordered a 1/4 chicken set meal, side dishes are always ordered for Jayden the boss :)

I had a roasted chicken caesar salad

And we headed off to Toysrus! Jayden loves balls too, playing with it to anticipate the coming World Cup! :)

Jayden really loves cars....... I really don't know where he got this obsession from! We never bought toy cars for him when he was much younger... CAR was also one of his first favourite words.... mmm, maybe boys will be boys huh? :)

Admiring the toy excavators

Took one big excavator off the shelf to admire and fiddle with!

mmmm... Mummy, do you think I should get a Honda Accord, Toyota Camry or BMW X6?

This policecar emits the police siren sound when I shake it!

Admiring more models

My sweetie pie darling bought a stalk of carnation for me for Mother's Day, heart melted... hehe :) Daddy bought it, but Jayden passed it to me :) Thanks my darlings.

Bought a water wheel and puzzle for Jayden

Japanese snacks from Shojikiya, I love the caramel corn. Went back a few days later to get the other flavours too :p

I Love Yoo ♥

2010-05-21T00:22:00.000+08:00

We love to go to I Love Yoo, a place selling porridge, yu char kuey, ham jin peng, tau foo fah and so much more. We used to go to the outlet in Sunway Pyramid all the time when we are there, cos it was easier to feed Jayden then.

Recently, the new Empire Shopping Gallery also opened an outlet, we were elated! :) I love their assortment of fried goodies, their porridge and soya bean also not bad. Nice for a tea break and snack after walking around for a while.

Jayden loves tau foo fah

aaammmmmmm.... When he likes something, he will say 'Nice'! :)

We asked for lesser syrup, otherwise too sweet

I Love Yoo!

Smile baby!

Let me sayang Daddy :)

Jayden and Keys

2010-05-20T16:15:00.004+08:00

Sometimes when I'm busy doing my stuffs, Jayden will be busy walking around the house, kepo kepo. As long he's not up to any mischief, I'm fine with it.

Remember I mentioned before that he likes keys?

This is a cabinet below my kitchen sink. See the bunch of keys on the cupboard door? I saw it when I went to the kitchen to do something.

Close-up. He inserted the keys into the hole and walked off hehe... Really funny boy :)

2010-05-18T18:27:00.002+08:00

I recently purchased a Gap PJs from Angel, I've been eyeing on this for some time. Support her also lah :) And because the fitting is pretty small, I opted for the biggest size, 5T.

I wanted to get 2 sets of I Love Dad and I Love Mom each. Unfortunately, no size for latter. So settled for Dad, Daddy happy lah ;)

Angel was so kind to throw in this t-shirt for Jayden as well, it's really nice, soft and comfy.

And a puzzle and book for Jayden, u lucky boy! Thanks Angel :)

This is Jayden wearing the I love Mum tee!

When It's So Hot....

2010-05-17T16:40:00.002+08:00

I prefer to just sit down on the ceramic floor and watch tv...

It's so nice and cool despite the hot weather outside!

I can watch tv lying down like that too hehe...

Nice pose for the camera eh? :)

Nice and cool down here, join me!

p/s. Mummy is feeling much better today, therefore can blog again :) She didn't feel like coming online at all when she was sick. Love u mummy! xoxo

Miserable

2010-05-15T15:24:00.003+08:00

My tonsils are inflammed again... sigh. Should have just removed my tonsils years back. I am so prone to tonsillitis!!!

The usual fever and blocked nose attacks come on almost immediately... one after another.

Now I just wish to recover quickly and not spread my germs/bacteria to Jayden and James.

See ya guys around, xoxo.

Mini Bunny Baos

2010-05-12T23:08:00.000+08:00

Today, I'm talking abt the ever so yummy mini bunny baos that's famous in Klang... Don't worry, they are not baos with rabbit meat! I, for one would not eat that!

The seller of these baos only come out at 11pm outside a kopitiam near my parents' place. Once they finish all their baos for the night, they close shop and go home. And most of the time, they are sold out pretty quickly! U can see ppl waiting around the kopitiam around 10.45pm for these bao sellers to arrive. Good biz huh... everyday guaranteed biz, no need to even spend more on A & P :)

So what do they sell? They have all kinds of baos, the usual red bean/char siew/vegetable/lotus paste and siew mai, amongst many others.

My favourite are these mini bunny baos. They are the size of ping pong balls and shaped like a rabbit, and it's so yummy to just pop one after another into your mouth ;)

Recently, my parents gave me a bag of frozen baos. They bought it for us one night and froze them. Now they are happily sitting in my freezer and anytime I feel like having one, I'll steam a few and gobble them up! Jayden likes them too.

Cute huh? :) The ones with pink eyes are filled with lotus paste and the green eyes- red bean paste (my fav)

Yummmy! Generous fillings and the skin is not too thick :)

Touched & Happy :)

2010-05-12T14:48:00.006+08:00

My culinary blog Mummy Jay's Bakes & Makes is where I post recipes and photos of what I like to do in my humble kitchen :)

My cousin, Rachel recently blogged about my bakes and I feel so touched and honoured when I read the post. Mummy Jay's has a fan! :) yipeeeeeeeeeee!

I feel happy when my loved ones and friends enjoy my bakes, it's a gift from my heart ♥! xoxo

Sacrifices of a Mum!

2010-05-11T17:30:00.002+08:00

Darling tapao-ed breakfast for Jayden and I last week. I requested for roti canai since I haven't ate it for some time :)

You know the white doughy part of the roti canai? It's pretty thick and chewy one? I dislike that the most... I love the crispy brown parts on the top, so thin, light and tasty!

But since I was sharing it with Jayden, I had to sacrifice what I like to eat :( I gave him all the brown yummy parts and I settled for the white chewy parts..................

Jayden enjoying his roti canai ;)

mmmmm.... yummy!

Nah, Mummy, don't be sad, I share with u ok? :)

yipeee... we are both happy now hehe!

Let's continue eating!

When I Clean The House

2010-05-10T15:23:00.003+08:00

Whenever I have to clean the house, I will let Jayden know first that I will vacuum downstairs and upstairs then mop both floors. As long as I let him know what I'm doing, he is alright to let me out of his sight for some time :)

When I vacuum the floor downstairs, he likes to follow me around, from the living room, to the kitchen, etc. And sometimes I will chase him around with the vacuum cleaner hehe... and he will start running away! haha... what to do... have to self amuse ourselves sometimes :p

When it comes to mopping, I will just have to tell Jayden to go sit on the sofa as mummy is going to mop the floor and it's going to be wet and slippery. He will say 'mop mop' :) He will go to the sofa, watch his cartoon and sit there till I tell him to come down! :)

Watching tv, chillaxing ;)

A cheeky grin from my lil' pumpkin :)

Meaningful Cartoons

2010-05-10T01:11:00.004+08:00

Just something to share with everyone, each cartoon sends a meaningful message that God is always there for us, no matter what!

Happy Mummy's Day to all Mummies!!!

2010-05-09T09:28:00.002+08:00

I wrote a poem for my precious and lovely mummy :)

You'll Always Be The Queen of My Heart

Mummy, I'm so lucky to have you as my mother

Unselfishly showering me with your tender, loving care

A perfect role model you are to me and my sister

Thanks for always being there

And now, as a mother of one

You have graciously guided me to do my part

For all the things you've said and done,

I want you to remember that you'll always be the Queen of My Heart!

Happy Mummy's Day to all! ♥

Visit to the Paed

2010-05-06T17:24:00.009+08:00

Brought Jayden to the paediatrician for his dose of vaccination. It was supposed to be on the last visit around 3 months ago, but Jayden wasn't feeling well then.

Dr. Lee advised us that it's better for Jayden to take the Influenza jab as well which encompasses the H1N1 vaccination this time round. It's an optional vaccination but we chose to have it, better not play with such things. He has also taken his Rotavirus and Pneumococcal vaccines. So he had 2 jabs that day, DTP Polio and Influenza.

This time round, Jayden was being weighed and height measured standing, big boy already lah! :) He was so curious about the equipment and particularly didn't like it when the measuring devide touched his head haha...

He was ok when we went into the paed's room, he only started bawling when the paed starting measuring his head circumference and touching his face! He hates that the most!!!! Even we can't touch his face without him struggling............. So the bawling started all the way till the jabs were over haha... My poor darling, it's for ur own good ok :)

His vital stats as @ 21 months:

Weight: 12.4kg (abt 1kg increase)

Height: 89cm (grew tall quite a bit!)

Head circumference: 48.5cm (abt 1cm wider)

Before heading out, naughty mummy put a clip on my hair :p

Measuring weight, he wanted the nurse's pen hehe

See his face? He didn't like the height measuring device hehe...

While waiting for our turn

A nurse gave this packet of biscuits to him, cos he kept kepo kepo around her table haha

mmmmmmmmmmm nice!

measuring his head circumference...

checking his reflexes

one jab on the left butt

another on the right!

♥ Happy Mother's Day! ♥

2010-05-06T17:01:00.006+08:00

For all you mummies out there...!

My first meeting with my precious angel ;)

Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!!!!!!! ♥♥

Here's a story to share with everyone :)

A Newborn's Conversation with God

A baby asked God, "They tell me you are sending me to earth tomorrow, but how am I going to live there being so small and helpless?"

God said, "Your angel will be waiting for you and will take care of you."

The child further inquired, "But tell me, here in heaven I don't have to do anything but sing and smile to be happy."

God said, "Your angel will sing for you and will also smile for you. And you will feel your angel's love and be very happy."

Again the small child asked, "And how am I going to be able to understand when people talk to me if I don't know the language?"

God said, "Your angel will tell you the most beautiful and sweet words you will ever hear, and with much patience and care, your angel will teach you how to speak."

"And what am I going to do when I want to talk to you?"

God said, "Your angel will place your hands together and will teach you how to pray."

"Who will protect me?"

God said, "Your angel will defend you even if it means risking its life."

"But I will always be sad because I will not see you anymore."

God said, "Your angel will always talk to you about Me and will teach you the way to come back to Me, even though I will always be next to you."

At that moment there was much peace in Heaven, but voices from Earth could be heard and the child hurriedly asked, "God, if I am to leave now, please tell me my angel's name."

God said, You will simply call her, "Mom."

What We Did @ Empire Shopping Gallery!

2010-05-05T15:21:00.002+08:00

We normally patronise Subang Parade as it's the nearest mall to our home. And over the last few weeks, we saw the development of Empire Shopping Gallery and we got really excited, yippeeee, another new mall near our home!!!! Everyone loves variety and choices, and it does add a dose of fresh air to the neighbourhood :)

Finally we had the chance and time to visit this new mall some time last week... We popped by Nyonya Colours for a bite and chit-chat. Was there with my mum, sis, James and of cos Jayden. Was disappointed with the desserts as it wasn't served piping hot, it was just lukewarm.... also got a bit pissed off towards the end cos we were almost finishing our food and our drinks didn't arrive yet. Told a waiter and he took his time clearing other tables b4 attending to my request. I got impatient, took the receipt and went straight to the PIC. We got our drinks soonafter but I wasn't pleased with his attitude, not a single word of apology!!! Hello........... what kind of customer service is this.... even if ur shop is new and shorthanded, at least say sorry.... the outlet at Midvalley is much better... for now.

Kueh-kueh

Darling's Mee Rebus

Jayden getting food from all directions hehehe

My Chee Cheong Fun, ordered one with black sauce instead of curry cos I just recovered from sore throat...

Mum's Pulut Hitam

My Red Ruby dessert- Tup Tim Krob

Burbur Cha2

After makan, we decided to visit ToysRus! The new store has a very nice layout, very cheery for kids and adults alike ;)

Guess who tapped my shoulder @ the store?
-

Joanne! What a pleasant surprise :)

Met her, hubby and her lovely Sarah! She's grown so much, very pretty girl :)

Jayden and Ah Ma :)

Some shots of the mall:

A group serenading to the shoppers at the concourse... very good singers!

Near the main entrance

Didn't buy anything at all... just walked around to have a 'feel' of the new place... will definitely pop by again, it's just a stone's throw away! :p
