Malaysian Radio – Hitz FM 92.9 with JJ and Ean

Posted on September 22, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

For the last 10 years, one of my favourite radio stations in Malaysia have been Hitz because they are just so stupid and funny. Stupid in a good way. Don't get me wrong, I have liked other stations too for other reasons but if I were to choose.......click to learn what next.

Racing cars at BSC

Posted on September 21, 2010September 19, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

How many of you have tried this? It costs RM10 for 3 minutes (if I'm not mistaken) to race these cars. My daughter loves it but I find it too expensive! We know some kids who have this race track in their houses (yes! you can purchase them!).......click to learn what next.

New Farley’s Rusk from Heinz

Posted on September 20, 2010September 19, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Did you know? They come in mini sizes now! So much easier for babies to hold (you know how their fingers are SO teeny-weeny tiny?) and so much less waste when they drop the darn rusk! Well, in our case, baby T2 will drop them PURPOSELY. She thinks.......click to learn what next.

Rock Climbing Facilities at Camp 5 One Utama

Posted on September 18, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

I recommend everyone to try this activity at least once. If you google rock climbing Malaysia, you will find other venues for this activity at other venues but we went to the closest to us, whihc was at Level 5, new wing, 1 Utama. It was a THRILLING.......click to learn what next.

Gripe on Public Toilets

Posted on September 12, 2010September 8, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Have you ever wondered or noticed, that in Malaysia anyway, the female washrooms are always further away than the mens? Why is that? It truly irks me. Women have a harder time going to the toilet. Women are the ones usually with children. Women.....gosh, do you need me.......click to learn what next.

Bali in KL

Posted on September 7, 2010September 2, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

There is this culturally rich restaurant along the main stretch of Solaris called Ole-Ole Bali that has a gorgeous spread of Balinese food but because I'd been there so many times this year, I got sick of it especially when the last time I went, our food was.......click to learn what next.

Learning the planets of the solar system

Posted on August 31, 2010August 27, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

T1 came home this week singing an unfamiliar song to a familiar tune. It is quite clever how her school teaches them to remember by making them learn the facts through songs, since children are naturally predisposed to learning musically and it works! Although T1 (being her father's.......click to learn what next.

Chawan, Bangsar

Posted on August 29, 2010August 26, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Have you ever been there? When they first started, I used to hang out here having breakfast with friends (read T1's friend's moms) as I was always too lazy to drop T1 off at school, go home and then pick her up again 3 hours later. Instead, I'd.......click to learn what next.

Digi Chairs and Service

Posted on August 25, 2010August 24, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

These are the chairs at the Digi outlet where we did the big crossover. T1 and I loved them chairs because they were stylish, multi-functional and comfortable. Digi really is the telco of the future. T1 said she could use the chair as a desk whilst she eats.......click to learn what next.

Digi or Maxis?

Posted on August 24, 2010August 23, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

After being with Maxis for the last 13 years, yesterday our entire family moved over to the bright side. If we had moved over to Celcom, I'd have called it the dark side. Sorry, Mr Celcom. The move was fast, simple and painless. We went to the Digi.......click to learn what next.

Blogging ups and downs

Posted on August 23, 2010August 23, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Apart from spewing verbal diarrhea all over the internet (which releases a lot of internal tension hence good for health), I love blogging because it gives my heart a good workout (again, good for health). Yes, thumpety-thump-thump......my heart aches tremendously and cries out loud when I read of.......click to learn what next.

10 variations of baby cereals

Posted on August 6, 2010August 1, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

We have tried practically every cereal on the supermarket shelves in making T2 eat her darn cereal!!! She just doesn't seem to like cereal and the only cereal she seemed to have eaten the most was the tin of organic cereal from Bangsar Village which costs almost RM30.......click to learn what next.

Lose your baggage when you fly Malaysian Airlines

Posted on July 30, 2010July 26, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

I am severely pissed and deeply saddened. This is our 3rd encounter with disappointment over this air carrier. The 1st was when they broke T1's stroller and only compensated us RM200 when it cost RM800 to buy a new stroller. The 2nd was when my cousin came down.......click to learn what next.

Raja Kunyit Durians

Last year, I was forbidden to eat my favourite delicacy till the end of my pregnancy due to gestational diabetes so being the great big huge glutton that I am, I am now more than making up for it. My excuse? It produces really good breast milk! Last.......click to learn what next.

Famous Soong Kee beef ball noodles at Lot 10

Posted on July 21, 2010July 17, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

When I was a teenager, I used to frequent the famous Soong Kee beef ball noodles on Jalan Silang, near Kota Raya, as I used to take the public bus to school (and other places.....). I didn't have a driver all my life, despite common misperceptions! And after.......click to learn what next.
