Maclaren Baby

Aydein has been a Maclaren baby ever since he was.. well, a baby. I could still remember how excited I was the first time I pushed him on his stroller. He was a few months old, and the first place we took him of all places was to the PC Fair at PWTC.



Although there are many other brands available in the market, we chose Maclaren for it's simplicity, practicality, and most importantly, it's light weight.

The stroller was one of the closest things we had to us when it comes to baby-stuff besides diapers and milk. Everywhere we go, it goes with us.

We had it when we went shopping,

When we went traveling,


When we meet our friends,


Or simply when we go out visiting places.


That's why, when it was taken away from us the night we got robbed (it was at the back, in the car trunk), we felt the loss. We even had to borrow a family's stroller when we went out recently -- which also happen to be, a Maclaren!


It sucks not having a stroller, you know. Jalan-jalan without a stroller is definitely not as convenient. So we started scouring for a new stroller, and after a lot of scouring, look what just arrived for us recently. Introducing, Aydein's new ride!


The new and dashing Maclaren Black/Champagne Quest Sport! Now that we've got the ride, who wants to go jalan-jalan with us? :)

Stylish = Louis Vuitton?

Ever since I became a mom, somehow I like to check out hot moms with a sense of style rather than those trendy, single ladies. I mean, it's easy to look like a million dollar chic when you're not married, but for moms, even applying em makeup could be a challenge, especially when you have a toddler who constantly tugs on your skirt or arm, just to crave for attention! You'd be a champion if you manage to pull off clean smokey eyes without looking like a crazy panda. Not to mention, those moms who could still maintain their slim figure even after they've put on more than 10kgs! Seriously, you ladies definitely have my respect!

However, I can't help but to notice that more often that not, these hot, stylish moms usually have the same things in common.

1. They carry Louis Vuitton handbag

2. They use Allerhand diaper bag (if not the designer ones)

3. They push MacLaren stroller.

Okay, I could understand MacLaren stroller for its light weight and practicality. Also for Allerhand diaper bag for its many compartments, but Louis Vuitton? Why Louis Vuitton? Why ALWAYS Louis Vuitton?

Now, it is very important for everybody to know that I have nothing against LV bags or those wearing them. In fact, kalau sape-sape yang bermurah hati nak hadiahkan I satu, kecik tapak tangan, nyiru I tadahkan! Hee.

It's just that, I just don't understand why it always has to be LV?

Why not this killer, sexy one by Prada?


Or this chic, elegant one by Gucci?


Or this drop-dead-gorgeous, glamorous one by Chanel?


I don't know why, but every time I turn to look at a stylish lady (married with kids or not) and look at her handbag, it always has to be LV. It's so cliche!

Hmm. If I am rich one day, I want to make a difference lah. I want to strut in boots and carry Chanel handbag here and there. Or Prada. Or Gucci.

LV? Perhaps, but maybe the last one on the list.

Heh. Berangan!

Let's Go To The Zoo!

By now, you probably know my love for animals after watching the video that mama posted. I get super excited when I see cats, dogs, even cows that Mak Long, mama and papa thought it would be great to bring me to the National Zoo now that I appreciate animals better! I was so pumped up and ready to go, I even volunteered to walk alllll the way!


When I was at the zoo, I saw many animals along the way. Monkeys, birds, hippos, even crocodiles! But you know, among all, this particular one interests me the most! Guess what it is!


Hehe yes, the goats! Don't ask me why, though, mama thinks it may be because I smell like them! Ape lah mama ni..

I also went to the reptiles section to see all sorts of snakes! Mama told me they are poisonous, that's why they are kept in tanks. Did you know that there are also "albino" snakes? If you look closely, you can see an albino burmese python in the tank. Wicked!


Too much of walking was making all of us tired. Thank goodness for us, there was an animal show happening nearby. We took this chance to give our feet a little break while being entertained by the smart, well trained animals. Look! The sea lion jumped so high!


I had a good time at the animal show but it seems that the fun never stops at this zoo! We then stopped by at the "petting zoo" where I got to feed the goats, calf, and donkeys! It was so fun, I tell you!


Oh you know, when mama first gave the carrot to me, I thought it was for me hehee. So when mama asked me to feed the donkey, I refused and protested! Sorry donkey, I thought the carrot was for me! :P

After that, we went to say hello to the tallest animal in the zoo -- the giraffe! The giraffes aren't just tall to me, they are also very pretty! Look at the beautiful patterns on their body! Cantik tau!


We also did not forget to swing by and greet Mr Elephant! They're so huge, I wonder how much this one weigh?


All the walking and sight seeing was making me tired. I saw too many animals in one day, it was giving me a headache! I wonder if there are still many more to see? Help!


But before I knew it, I was already dozing away in lalaland.


It's such a bummer, because I didn't get to see the king of the jungle "in person"! Luckily papa was kind enough to take a few shots of them as well as the tiger and shared them with me! Both are my favorites, and I actually missed them! Grrr!


It's okay though, I'll make sure I'll catch them again next time! Thanks Ma, Pa, Mak Long, Pak Long and those who were there with me on this zoo trip. I had a great time! :)

Girl's Night Out

As much as I love spending time with my two superboys, somehow there's just something about chilling out with my girlfriends that makes me feel so young and carefree again.

So when my friend suggested that we throw a small bachelorette party for our colleague Fareeza not too long ago, I was all for it!

This is Fareeza, the celebrated one. Don't we just look like sisters? :D

Anyway, before heading to KLCC, being the "girl" that we are, we stopped by the Ladies for a quick refreshment. Biasalah, dah kata perempuan kan. :P


Once we were ready, we headed down to KLCC to hunt for our best-est friend in the world that never fails to let us down even at the crappiest time -- ice cream!


For once I didn't have to worry about milk, diapers or foods flying on the table! All that matters were the delicious Haagen Dazs's fondue that we finished in less than 15 mins! It was THAT sedap ok!


Once our tummies were filled with the sinfully delicious ice cream, we went to Nail Parlor to get our nails done.


That's right, it was mani-padi time! I can't remember the last time I actually had this luxury to pamper myself, so after a long and stressful week, a little me-time was just what I needed!


My nails were neatly trimmed, buffed and polished, it was honestly heartbreaking to see them getting smeared with the nasty turmeric powder from cooking! But it's okay. Melawa-melawa jugak, responsibility kene buat jugak kan! ;)

Shortly after the manicure session, my friend and I had quite a blast singing out hearts out at a karaoke centre nearby. After belting out a few songs, we said our goodnights to each other and headed home with a satisfied smile plastered on our faces. It was definitely a great night out! :)

Adam's 2nd Birthday Party

If you think that only adults know how to party, then you have yet to meet my friends and I!

You see, my friend Adam just turned 2 a few weeks back and we were invited to his birthday bash. Unlike many birthday parties I attended earlier, the best thing about this party is it was held at Kizsport Centre, OU.


Wait. Hey, I remember this place! I followed mama to this place a couple of months back for Nuffnang's bloggers event. No wonder everything looked so familiar then! :P

My family and I arrived quite late that day because we were busy looking for the perfect gift for my buddy. In the end, we bought a train set for him. Hope you liked it, buddy!

As soon as we arrived, I joined my buddies at the play area. It was so much fun, I wish I could keep the rides to myself!


Shortly after that we were brought to a private room where the birthday was held. The moment I stepped into the room, I was overjoyed! There were balloons everywhere! But before I knew it, my tummy was growling. Lucky for me, they had kids' food served on the table. Mmm yummy!


When it was time for cake cutting ceremony, as usual, all of us gathered around the birthday boy and sang a birthday song to him. Oh, did I tell you the cake was delicious? I couldn't get enough!


After that, we all gathered to take group photo together. Introducing, your future football stars, ladies and gentlemen! :D


Of course, what's a party without fun and games? Once I was refilled, I wasted no time and dived into the pool of balls! The pool was just like what I had on my party, only bigger, with more balls!


Before we went back, we took along with us a little gift from Adam's mummy.


Thanks again Adam and family for having us. We had tons of fun! Until we meet again! ;)

Just Because I Miss Blogging

If you have me in your Twitter account, you would know how much I miss blogging.

However I have been swamped with too much work that I simply do not have time to update my blog as regularly as before! Mind you, I have tons to tell, but I just can't find the time, thanks to the new job scope I am on now :(

The only thing that gets updated regularly is my Twitter account, because it allows me to give out (and receive) short, timely messages, just like SMS. I would love for every one of you to have an account too, because then we can share tweets (and updates) with each other, frequently! :)

So this is my short, timely update to all of you, just because I miss blogging so much. Until then, stay glued for a new entry from me (though I don't know when!).

XOXO.

Hello!

It's funny how babies would crack up like crazy at a simple joke or funny sounds. Like 2 nights ago, Aydein was on the bed playing with my phone and I was on my way to the washroom when I thought I heard him say "Hello?".

I replied a "Helloo!" back in a funny voice, which got him laughing even more! And it went on and on that I quickly grabbed Aien's phone and have it recorded while Aien continued to amuse him. :P

He must have laughed a bit too much and a bit too hard that it drained the energy out of him, because he slept soundly and easily after that! :P



Oh, I am sorry if the video shakes at some parts. His laugh was so contagious, I had to hold myself back from bursting into hysterical laugh myself! ;)
