    Now Everyone Can Fly……

    Wednesday, February 17th, 2010

    …..LATE AS USUAL!!! (is what TF left out in his tagline!) We didn’t fly Air Asia this time but took MAS instead and were pleasantly surprised and happy with MAS this time round. Truth be told, I don’t have a favourite. It’s almost like a Celcom-Maxis war. They’re both &#$%@*

    Tee had an educational lesson today [...]

    Nine West wedges

    Sunday, December 27th, 2009

    I bought this gorgeously comfortable pair of wedges in November from Lot 10 whilst Tee was having her piano concert rehearsal that day. So much for being an impulse shopper. I loved it because it was quite unique in that the leather straps that went across the front continued all the way back to the [...]

    4 month baby with phlegmy cough

    Sunday, December 27th, 2009

    T2 fell ill 3 weeks ago with a dry cough which quickly turned into a wet cough and then a cough with a runny nose. No fever, thank God! So much for an exclusively breast fed baby. Totally over-rated.
    I saw the Doctor 3 times. Because each time she went into a coughing fit, I’d panic [...]

    Where would you get them from?
    HERE, HERE, HERE!!!
    They now have new stock so go check them out!
    They have the best prices that I know off and are 101% genuine, all flown in direct from authentic Coach stores. Service is great, all queries are responded to and they do whatever it takes to meet customer demands. [...]

    Best accommodation deals online

    Saturday, December 12th, 2009

    Tis the end of the year where I do a lot of planning…..like planning next years holidays. We opted out of our annual Chiangmai trip this year because the Hubs wasn’t keen on traveling with T2 so young. I really wish we were going though because T2 has turned out to be a lovely, calm [...]

    There’s a Nu mall in town!

    Sunday, November 29th, 2009

    Yes, my shopaholic friends……KL Sentral is the location for the Nu mall whose tag line is If it isn’t Nu, it isn’t YOU. *puke*
    Now, I wouldn’t exactly call myself a retail specialist but I did work for a very experienced retail design firm in the past and I can tell you straight on that this [...]

    Charles Jourdan diamond studded heels

    Sunday, November 8th, 2009

    Because Rachel asked……

    You will notice that most of my branded shoes are rather conventional as I bought them mostly during my corporate life many eons ago. I believed in good quality shoes then that I could wear comfortably to work daily. My funkier shoes are usually unbranded although now if you asked me to spend [...]

    Blackberry Bold 9000

    Sunday, November 8th, 2009

    Or Blackberry Curve? What’s the difference? Apart from the price, of course. I want a phone that can organise my life and can surf the net well because I do a helluva lot of surfing in the wee hours of the morning whilst breastfeeding.

    Foetal heart rate monitor

    Thursday, October 29th, 2009

    Look at the above gadget. It is a little thing slightly larger than the size of a Blackberry and is used to check your baby’s heart beat within your abdomen. Isn’t that cool? They used it on me (it’s battery operated) just before I went in for my C-sec.
    I remember when I was pregnant with [...]

    DKNY Cozy Top

    Friday, October 23rd, 2009

    Ladies, ladies!!! Look what I found!!! The DKNY Cozy top is a fabulous top that can be worn TWELVE ways and that alone makes it GREAT for traveling and saves closet space!!! If you go to their website, you can check out exactly how it can be worn….

    I am soooooooooo excited. And since I’ve already [...]

    G5 cellulite machine

    Friday, October 23rd, 2009

    I measured my hips this week and my, oh my!! I am pleased to announce that I have lost 1.5 inches (REALLY!!!) since T2 was born. That was exactly 11 weeks ago. My ass is still how you recognise me from the back, of course, but 1.5 inches?! Man! I can’t wait till it gets [...]

    Price of Louis Vuitton Mahina XS in Malaysia

    Thursday, October 15th, 2009

    This is my absolute most expensive bag (if you want to faint from the price, ask me), I think. At the top of my head anyway. I’m almost embarrassed to say that I own it. I hardly (actually never) use it now because I have a newborn and it’s just not very practical. In fact, [...]

    Best nursing bras

    Friday, October 2nd, 2009

    I have 7 Mothercare nursing bras of various colours and 1 other Carriwell nursing bra - all given by friends as baby shower gifts, bless their hearts, because nursing bras are expensive!
    What has been annoying the shit out of me though is that they all have this snap shut clasp that wakes T2 up every [...]

    The Loaf at The Pavillion

    Thursday, August 20th, 2009

    After much hype, we finally dragged ourselves one day to try out our ex-Prime Minister’s bread business, which originally began in Langkawi. It was super packed!!! But still we queued and we bought.

    Four chomps later, I felt that it was over-rated. Whilst we didn’t actually buy an entire loaf of bread (which could have very [...]

    Traffic Jam Intelligent Toy

    Thursday, August 13th, 2009

    If there is one toy I would strongly recommend to all 4 year olds, it is this.

    It is an intelligent toy with many levels starting with easy where you have to follow a picture card to arrange your cars in a particular fashion. Then, you need to move your cars around, backward or forward, in [...]

    Harrods, KLCC

    Tuesday, August 11th, 2009

    Have you been there yet? It is one of our new hangouts in KLCC, bye-bye Chinoz, as we get a discount there AND there is a smoking area outside on the balcony for Mom…..and we love the fact that it is quintessentially English. The desserts are good, make sure you order those from the kitchen [...]

    Driving in Kuala Lumpur

    Saturday, July 25th, 2009

    ……is bloody stressful. Seriously! If you’re a Mom who doubles up as the chauffer, driving sure takes a lot out of your system. It’s exhausting. Incredible concentration is required to manoeuvre away from errant drivers and motorcyclists. I know some Moms who drive tens of kilometres per day because their children’s schools are just so [...]

    Bahasa Malaysia Malaysian Primary One Syllabus

    Tuesday, July 21st, 2009

    Every time I look at the text books for Primary One, I am sure I will not be allowing Tee to skip to Primary Two because I feel she will die standing! It’s even tough for me! Moreover, I am appalled at what goes into the text books. The teachings are slanted and so uninteresting [...]

    Fukuhara, Kuala Lumpur

    Saturday, July 18th, 2009

    We discovered this lovely oasis of restaurants behind Hock Choon supermarket in Ampang because of friends of friends or you’d never know of its existence, as how many people would drive down a dead end road for an adventure.

    Despite the Japanese name, there is in this oasis, a Japanese restaurant (Fukuhara), a German restaurant (still [...]

    Tee’s Mathematics work

    Saturday, July 11th, 2009

    My mom always told me that my biological father was a maths genius, which led me to believe that I did not inherit that side of my brain from him. I have always believed that I was crap at Math, not quite sure why since I did get an A1 for SPM and a B [...]

    Sexy Aunt in a Sexy Top

    Thursday, July 2nd, 2009

    This is my 48 year old aunt wearing a very interesting top which I loved so much that I had to take a picture of it. I love the fact that it is cut crooked and not symmetrical. If I had her body, I’d buy that top in every colour!!!

    And for someone who’s fast approaching [...]

    Nirvana Banana Leaf Rice Bangsar

    Friday, June 26th, 2009

    This place is always busy. Always!!! Located beside AmBank on Jalan Telawi Tiga, this famous banana leaf place was recently featured on NTV7 and I’ve always had a good relationship with it. The food is good enough and service is friendly. What more, it is located nearby in Bangsar.
    Unfortunately, they did not have any nasi [...]

    For the love of fish porridge at Spring Garden KLCC

    Sunday, June 21st, 2009

    Actually, Tee loves all kinds of porridge. In fact, she loves all things mushy as she is such a lazy ass who doesn’t like chewing. You’d think she was a grandmother of ninety seriously! She just wants to get things over and done with super fast so she can continue playing *rolls eyeballs*
    At every shopping [...]

    Nasi Lemak Jaipur

    Friday, June 19th, 2009

    The Hubs was sent to Taman Tun last Saturday in search of nasi lemak Jaipur at 8am and he did not disappoint as I waited anxiously at home with Tee, waiting to fill my hungry tums. In the meantime waiting, I scrambled up some scrambled eggs for the fussy missus whilst she glued her eyes [...]
