Holiday with grans

Nexus Karambunai 2013

Garden Deluxe Room

we booked 2 rooms and they must be CONNECTED!

initially they gave us 2 separate rooms.

heck.

i made a fuss so in the end they sort of upgraded us a bit to connecting rooms.

how did i know about the connecting rooms?

because we stayed there in 2010 when in-law came.

now after 3 years, they are back! =D

verandah from our room.

the bedrooms need major refurbishment!

they are old and paints are chipping and the towels stinks!

i was disappointed and since hubs lost his glasses (swept away by the waves) so we drove home one night and i quickly grabbed one towel from home.

we ended up snatching for the towel the next day in the hotel.

i thought he didnt mind the smell :p

they have 3 pools!

gangnam style in the pool!

he went surfing.

looks like he is quite serious about it.

darn.

korean dad supervising his children.

moms are not visible.

new found friend :)

playing along

yep. thats our bike.

we bought from home.

imagine the truckload of things that we fetch.

hehe.

we seriously need to upgrade our car.

:p

 cheeky face

he thinks he looks cute so he was excited over this to-chang

at this age,

he says cater peter instead of caterpillar.

2 months pregnant

with a subchorionic hematoma.

could possibly be a twin.

layman : i had 2 sacs in my uterus and one of the sac collapse.

everything went well. the other sac survived.

the first trimester was AWFUL!

puked a total of...say 10 times in total.

first pregnancy, only ONCE. n that was because i had too much petai :p

well ive always encouraged him to be independent.

i thought when kids reach a certain age, they would begged for independence?

they would want to do things on their own, we cant help them?

not for him.

he always says he cant do it.

he doesnt know how to do it.

i cannot mummy. i cannot.

-__________-

until now, he cannot wear shirts on his own.
he can put on his own pants, but they will be crooked.
given a chance, he will allow us to wear pants for him.
spoilt by aunty definitely.
he knows it so he bullies her.
O.O

Parenting a toddler

makes me melt when i enter the room and see him in this position

i like this article Parenting a Toddler

how to be angry at him?

too adorable.

till now,

he loves his bro so much that he will kiss him goodnight, every night.

and he says that di-di likes him.

yes of course, you are the ge-ge mah, i must echo.

if i dont, he will ask me to say it. say the entire sentence ;)

TGIF

TGIF The Curve

we love tgif, because they they have free kid's meal.

today, he tells us he wants Fish & fries.

the father read out the menu and he chose that.

2 years back, we ordered cheese toast and fries in Chillis but he did not eat any. he chose breast milk instead.

im not exactly happy dining at these places but we couldnt decide. oh well..once in a while.

u dont get this in KK anyway.

this little sweetie sleeps on the sofa while we filled our tummy.

salivating?

O.O

he loves them!

the mommy's worried of course.

fish and fries, he repeated, till today he can remember.

hey that is american!

i told him fish and chips.

he says fish and fries.

Hong Yi is in town!

i met Hong Yi!

who?

Red Hong (ohiseeRED)

actually i got to know her (i know her but she doesnt know me) through her mom.

her mom's blog actually.

u see, im quite a greedy person.

i love to cook and bake.

i love children.

i love gardening.

my goodness. with these few things i listed above, if enough to kill my 24 hours in a day.

there are sooooo many topics to read about regarding those things.

cooking and baking and family and children branches out to many things.

there are plenty of recipes, parenting, gardening (new hobby), and lots of related general things to read. so my safari is always busy. it is never empty.

since we are sharing computer, we have come to agreement that i use safari while my partner uses chrome.

well, sometimes when my safari is too full, i will hop over to chrome. heh.

anyway, back to hongyi. aunty terri has always been my idol.

please hop over to her blog Daily Obsession.

i follow her blog since uni days and guess what! i am at KK, where she is! and guess what again, i went to her house once when she had a party! :p

that is how crazy i am.

u must look at her cookings. her bakings.

she herself is a terrific person.

and she has brought up a terrific daughter.

so the whole family went to support her in Sutera Harbour Resort ;)

look where creativity leads her ...

i believe aunty terri has brought her up well...

i wish to do that to my children too! :D

Aung sang suu kyi

she uses flowers - carnation and soaked them in dyes.

i was a little shy.

cant imagine im doing it.

but she is an amazing lady!

thats KJ boy, hooked to the pond.

all kids are amazed with fishes.

the koi s are beautiful.

if i have a pond at home, i'd rear koi. no other fishes :)

Party play Cafe

PARTY PLAY Lifestyle Cafe

The Ultimate Platter (For 2)

i was craving for western food BEEF when i was 3 months pregnant.

people say pregnant woman cannot eat lamb, for fear of the baby getting seizures.

however, hubs at that time thinks they are bull.

u know me. better not take chances.

however the mint sauce was splendid!

otherwise, the entire platter is just mediocre.

Party Play Signature Fried Rice

Mushroom & Garlic 

fried rice for this boy. his father thinks he can reproduce the same dish without a sweat.

indeed, i agree.

1 more month to 3 years old

Party Play is a favorite among the locals here.

we think the food they serve is average because my kitchen can cook the same meal!

:)

no more party play for us.

not worthy

how to prepare citrus for consumption

 yellow watermelon

kj likes it initially.

ate it for 2 nights and on the third night, he says mommy can u buy red watermelon?

 peppermint, pumpkin seed, yellow watermelon, 1/4 lemon, coconut milk, 2cm of ginger

this is the correct way to slice off the lemon skin.

the rinds are good.

i do that to oranges as well.

reserve as much pith as possible.

watch Jay Kordich - The Father of Juicing, juices orange juice.
