Simple Omelette Wrap Recipe

Merryn — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 01:41:42 +0000

I’ve never tried making wraps before but each time I ordered a sandwich in Subway and looking at their wraps makes me want to have a try! So the other day while grocery shopping I took the ‘courage’ and bought a pack of wholemeal Mission Wrap to try making my very own omelette wraps. You know me, I’ll try making it as simple as possible as I don’t like spending too much time in the [...]

Best playground hunt: Pusat Sains Negara

Merryn — Tue, 18 Jun 2013 02:35:47 +0000

One of the BEST playground around has got to be the one in Desa Park City. I’ve blogged about it last year. Read more about the playground in Desa Park City. Last week, we were in Pusat Sains Negara for a recording session and the recording happens to be outdoor in the playground. The place was actually closed to public on that day hence the ‘empty’ park you see in my pictures. I was impressed [...]

June is a hectic month for Ethan. After 8 months since starting his drum lessons, he sat for his Trinity Grade 2 Drum Exam earlier this month and coming end of this month, he will be performing in the first ever Talent Night organised by his drum school, Piano Station. They had a full dress rehearsal last Saturday at Sunway Mas Community Centre. I was told it was a full-dressed rehearsal but I see [...]

Cloth Peg Aeroplane Fridge Magnet

Merryn — Fri, 14 Jun 2013 00:59:56 +0000

Last month, I posted the tutorial for Ice cream Stick Cloth Peg Aeroplane Fridge Magnet. It was actually done in preparation for the recording of Chiki Boom’s Saya Kreatif segment. Aeroplane Fridge Magnet Last Sunday, it was finally aired on TV2. This episode is extra special to me as they recorded it in my very own studio, Crafty-Crafted Studio. It is also extra special as Ethan is extremely cheeky in this particular episode. He can’t stop [...]

Kids Craft: Papier Mache Rocket

Merryn — Thu, 13 Jun 2013 03:09:13 +0000

Remember we did a papier mache aeroplane pencil case during the school holidays? Ethan loves it so much that I decided to make another one, a rocket this time for him. We were too busy during the school holidays to post this up but yeah, he has TWO papier mache pencil cases now. One for his stationery and another for his colour pencils. He brought the aeroplane and the rocket to Kindy and guess what? [...]

Avocado Milk Smoothie Recipe

Merryn — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 16:05:57 +0000

I’ve never tried avocado in my life believe it or not. Never know if it’s nice or not until last weekend when I was shopping and saw them (Australian Avocados) selling at RM10.90 for a pack of 3. I asked Darling if he would like to give it a try and he said why not since there are so many health benefits of eating avocados. Avocados are packed with disease-fighting antioxidants. That alone is enough [...]

2D Cartoon Bag Price

Merryn — Tue, 11 Jun 2013 02:10:50 +0000

I’ve seen 2D Cartoon Bags online for quite a while but always wondered where to get them. I know we can purchase them online but you know me, I don’t do online shopping. Last weekend, we were walking along The Curve’s street bazaar when I chanced upon these 2D Cartoon bags. I stopped immediately to have a look at them. I have no idea how much these are selling elsewhere as I’ve never bothered before. [...]

Man of Steel 50% off Promo

Merryn — Sun, 09 Jun 2013 16:03:17 +0000

Last year, when Angry Bird was the hype, we bought Ethan the bedsheet set because it was selling at half price from RM99 to RM49.50. We thought it was such a steal that we bought it without thinking twice and happily blogged about the Angry Bird bedspread. Ethan’s Angry Bird bedspread with matching pyjamas Last weekend, we were in Aeon and saw the latest promo – Man of Steel. The Man of Steel bedspread is [...]

Last week’s craft on Chiki Boom’s Saya Kreatif is Paper Plate Flower. As usual we’ll have to make a sample before the actual recording day. Ethan cutting the paper plate. Paint it. Paint a chopstick green. And repeat the entire process during the actual recording day. This is how it looks like behind-the-scene.. And this is what it looks like on TV!

Monsters University – PETROSAINS Promotional Campaign

Merryn — Fri, 07 Jun 2013 02:17:55 +0000

The school holidays means going out ‘jalan-jalan’ around town. We went to Petrosains as Ethan loves it here. The last we were here was a year ago when he spent 5 hours exploring Petrosains! You can read all about it here. This time around, Petrosains has a movie tie-up with Monsters University. Ethan happily took a picture with the monsters and blended quite well I must say. He looks just like one of them! LoL! [...]

Buffet Ramadhan bersama Jaafar Onn dan Haiza di Dorsett Grand, Subang

Merryn — Thu, 06 Jun 2013 15:59:29 +0000

In about a little over a month, our Muslim friends will be ushering the holy month of Ramadhan. It has always been our favourite to walk around Ramadhan Bazaars scouting for food and more but sometimes, the scorching heat is simply unbearable. When that happens, I prefer to just dine somewhere cool and comfortable. Dalam masa sebulan lebih, rakan-rakan Islam kita akan menyambut ketibaan bulan suci Ramadhan. Ia sentiasa menjadi kegemaran kami untuk berjalan-jalan cari [...]

Grandma’s Home-made Nyonya Chang (dumpling)

Merryn — Wed, 05 Jun 2013 03:40:49 +0000

That time of the year is approaching again with everyone busy making their own rice dumpling and showing them off on Facebook. For the uninitiated ones such as me, we can only wish upon a star that some kind souls will be generous enough to give us some. Whenever we speak of rice dumplings, my memories will immediately be of my late Grandma’s home-made Nyonya Chang we fondly call Kueh Chang. I remembered when I [...]

The Ride

Merryn — Tue, 04 Jun 2013 02:00:30 +0000

I’ve shared several mysterious videos lately namely a strange incident on a highway in Germany. CCTV Footage shows a cargo truck being lifted off the highway by a strange light. It seems that whatever was pursuing the truck was after the cargo which went missing immediately after. Is everyone just overreacting or could this really be something extraterrestrial? I also shared a video of a strange vehicle caught on camera in a tunnel in Germany. [...]

Mabel’s 17th Birthday Celebration

Merryn — Sun, 02 Jun 2013 15:40:08 +0000

We were in Malacca last weekend for several occasions and one of them was my niece Mabel’s 17th birthday. Darling had known my nieces since they were very young and just look at how grown up they are now. Makes me feel so OLD! The parents catered Malay food as they’ll be having Malay guests too. The catering comes with a SATAY GIRL who looks exactly like my eldest sis :P The customary Birthday Song session. [...]
