Baru Nak Hapdet? ECLIPSE Charity Screening!! Ooo La La..

Lambat? Ya, memang amat lambat. Lembap. Slow macam siput! Mamang lambat sungguh update ini, event berlangsung 7 Julai, only now nak kelaur kat blog? Ish ish. Ini semua angkara susah nak dapat internet connection nowadays (huk huk!!). Anyway........

Eclipse Charity Screening amat dinanti olehku, dan juga sisterku. Dah book tickets berbulan-bulan sudah. Demi Abg Edward and Abg Jacob. Hahahaha. Ok, geli.

Hari Ahad 4 Julai 2010 pungut tickets di Pavi. Ambil dari founders Twilighters sendiri lah, Azlina and Nurul. Comel betul. Kecik2, molek2. 3 tickets dalam genggaman, beserta t'shirt Eclipse Twilighters Malaysia yang dibungkus dalam pouch. Senyum. Kupon popcorn dan soda juga diberi. Aturcara dibaca teliti.

Penantian itu menyiksakan. Tetapi anticipation itu amat exhilarating. Buku Eclipse dibaca sekali lagi dua hari sebelum event berlangsung. Ok, feel sudah mari dengan kuat. 7 Julai 2010 tarikh keramat. 

Acara bermula jam 8pm. Jam 4 ptg mea nad my sis sudah terpacak di Pavi. Amboi, semangat? Ye lah, sebab nak shoppping2 dulu dan lepak2 minum teh kan. Hehe.

T'shirts in pouches.

Hehe

Our tixx and popcorn vouchers!

Lepak di Dome sambil menambah berat lemak,

dan bergossip2.

:)

Kemudian, jam 7 mlm, pindah pula ke Starbucks Level 6,kerana Twilighters lain juga sudah mara dan tak sabar menunggu acara dimulakan. Pendaftaran peserta dalam acara Cosplay bermula. Seronok cuci mata melihat peserta memakai costume dari characters Twilight. Ada Jane, Bella, Victoria, Jacob... tetapi tiada Edward! Sigh... hehehe. Opening ceremony bermula jam 8 mlm, dan seterusnya peserta Cosplay dipanggil ke depan untuk memperagakan diri. It was fun! They were such good sports! Lucky Draw juga ada. Suasana amat meriah dah teruja berpeluang bersama2 Twilighters Malaysia yang lain pada malam Charity Screening tersebut. Jam 9 mlm, kami masuk panggung. WeeeeeHoooooo, eksaited sudah tentu! 2 halls dipenuhi Twilighters Malaysia. Sungguh seronok!

Semasa acara Cosplay

Me and my sis Babes!

Before cerita bermula.

Eh, 2 orang saja? Kata beli 3 tixx?

Mr. Ako sorang lagi yang dipaksarela men'join' hehehe

But he enjoyed it nevertheless, kan kan kan?

When it ended, we received a goody bag each!

Wah wah seronok lagi!

The things we got,

Towards a Reading Nation - Bring Kiddos to KL Children's Library

Have u ever taken your kids to the Children's Library Kuala Lumpur? I brought them there for the first time ever the day I visited Galeri KL. Galeri KL is actually in the building ehere Perpustakaan Kuala Lumpur is. And the Children's Library is right next to it. And where exactly is that, u might ask kan? Hehe. Oh, right smack at the back of Dataran Merdeka. I know, some of u might have already gone there, but for those of u who haven't, the Children's Library is cool lah :) Might take the kids there again during one of the weekends. They have taken a liking to it. The library is owned by the City Hall. I myself am quite impressed with it. 

Here it is!!

Here are the opening hours.

In true Malaysian fashion..... take off your shoes ya :)

The entrance door, if u r not a member, u need to sign your name on a log book :)

The interior, which has a very nice ambience.

It has quite a good collection of books, both in BM and English. 

When we were there, there weren't many people around, but maybe it's just on that day kot.

But seriously, give this place a visit. 

I find it better than most other libraries around.

Superheroes Go Artsy-Fartsy @ KALAM II

Heya Folks!!!! How r ya??? Miss y'all soooooo much! I have connection problems since I lost my iPhone (yes, and that deserves it's own blog entry innit?) and since I get connected to the internet by using my iPhone, now that it is lost, I can't blog as there's no access! See how much I depended on my iPhone, so much so that now I am feeling that my life is turned upside down without it! I am waiting for iPhone 4, when is it coming to the Malaysian shores eh?

I can't write much peps, I am at a warong kopi near my house hehehe. My boys and I had an arty good time at Galeri Kuala Lumpur where the Kalam II art show took place. Here are the pics, and we felt more 'cultured' after the visit. ~ngeee~

Right Start Your Day With Milo PROTOMALT

ADVERTORIAL :)

Heya Folks! How are you doing this morning? My morning is rather calm, as it's the school holidays and I don't need to do much 'chauffering' to and fro to the kids' THREE different schools. But however, with the four superheroes being home 'altogether' in the cool morning, it posed a different challenge to Mom! Four growing boys to 'manage' and 'entertain' hahaha. Am I up to the job? *wink* I can't very well say NO now can I? =)

These boys I'm telling you... gets really really busy during the holidays. They will go from one activity to another in a seamless fashion, interrupted only by me calling them during mealtimes. Morning walk around the neighbourhood linear parks, running and jumping around on the little patch of grass within our house compound, and even there are games devised by the elder two to be played in the house itself. Thank goodness the indoor games played does include some 'quiet' time like reading, art work, computer games and Snake & Ladder, Monopoly and Ludo. Wahhh, mommy is happy the children do like to play board (bored) games hehheh.

The kiddos in one of the weekly activities they do.

With soooo much energy being used by the bunnies, I had to make sure that they start the day right, and what's the perennial favourite beverage by many young Malaysians? Yeppp, MILO! Well, MILO is not just any chocolate malt drink, it contains PROTOMALT, the energy within MILO. PROTOMALT is made from malted barley, which contains all the good nutrients to keep the kiddos going all day! PROTOMALT contains the excellent nutrients naturally present in barley grains. Barley has complex carbohydrates, which is indeed a preferred ingredient of a balanced diet. And that's not all, MILO has ACTIGEN-E, a mix of essential vitamins including B vitamin and minerals, which helps to optimize conditions for the release of energy from food.

As breakfast is a very important meal of the day, it is highly essential that our kids get a breakfast that contains most of  the important nutrients their body needs to sustain their energy throughout the day. My superheroes prefers a fuss-free breakfast, nothing too heavy or tiresome to finish off :) A hot beverage like MILO, cereals or bread suit them fine and these provide them with a good  20% - 25% of their daily energy intake. A good breakfast also boost brain power, to prepare them for any learning that takes place in the day. A high energy breakfast benefits the kids most. 

PROTOMALT, the energy within MILO

Growing children need sufficient intake of carbohydrate in their daily meals. The malted barley in PROTOMALT contains complex carbohydrate, which is an excellent source of energy. PROTOMALT is also mixed with other nutritional ingredients like skim milk and cocoa.

My No 3 was ecstatic to actually see the malted barley used in his favourite beverage, MILO

Membesar sebagai johan dengan MILO!

Tin besar MILO seperti ini tidak pernah tidak ada di rumah saya, dari zaman saya kanak-kanak, sehinggalah sekarang di mana anak-anak saya menjadikan MILO sebagai minuman harian. And now they have the refill packs as well.

The malt in MILO brings out the great taste! Great tasting both Hot and Cold.

It keeps my superheroes' motor running throughout the day! Sarapan johan tidak lengkap tanpa MILO dengan PROTOMALT. Easy to prepare, easily available and yummilicious.

My No 2's favourite choice of beverage of breakfast at home AND when having breakfast out.

Delicious Iced Milo.... mmmmmm slurrrppp

My hubby in blue and white swears by MILO to energize him before every hockey game.

Remember kawan-kawan... you are your kids best role models. It is important that you set a good example by having the same breakfast they are having, so the chances of them cultivating the good habit of having a good and nutritious breakfast is enhanced. MINUM MILO ANDA JADI SIHAT DAN KUAT! Remenber that tagline? Well, for 60 years, MILO have been nourishing young Malaysians. Me, you and even our parents. My grandmother who is now in her 80's still have her breakfast with a mug of hot MILO, a tradition that we her grandchildren have followed. And now, my children too. It has proved to be an excellent breakfast beverage for years and years, and so I will keep the tradition alive in my family :) And now, what about you? I am sure you have your MILO stories too...

MILO with PROTOMALT, indeed the right start to your day.

Oh aye aye aye, we love our MILO =)

Take a look at the ENERGY TIP of the day.

SHM's Laksa Kuah Putih

Good Morning Folks! Hope you will have a good Sunday. What are you planning to do today? I will be bringing my kids to Galeri Kuala Lumpur, which is in Perpustakaan Kuala Lumpur, Jalan Raja, KL. Going to view the beautiful and awesome artworks by five of the very very best of Malaysian Contemporary Art artists. Pameran seni bertajuk "Kalam II: The Malay Icon 2010" ini menggarapkan keindahan seni kaligrafi Jawi dalam penterjemahan lukisan yang penuh artistik. Hey, why don't you bring your kids to the art show, sebagai enrichment dan juga meluaskan pengetahuan dan pemandangan anak-anak dalam bidang seni halus? 

The collection of artworks memang mengkagumkan, hasil kerja lima pelukis tersohor di negara kita ni. Beautiful, beautiful hasil seni. Moreover, betul-betul kat sebelah Galeri KL ni ialah KL Children's Library. Pernah pergi tak? 

Anyway, pameran seni "Kalam II: The Malay Icon 2010" ini berlangsung dari 21 Jun 2010 hingga 4 Jun 2010. Dari 11 pagi hingga 7 malam. Masuk adalah percuma :)

I Love Florals, but that does NOT make me a GRANNY! =)

Psssttt... I nak buat pengakuan ni.... I am peminat florals. Memang suka yang berbunga-bunga. Ada orang yang suka, tak kurang yang tak suka kan. I tergolong dalam yang suka tu la hehehehe.....  Reaksi setiap individu berlainan kalau pasal 'pesen' bunga-bunga ni'.. Antaranya.........

"Aloooo, so sweeeeeetttt"

"Eeeeee, serabut kepala hotaks"

"OMG, I sukeee semua yang florals, macam style English gitu kan?"

"Please la! Macam makcik2 nenek2 hokey!"

"So feminine and girly-wurly. Loike."

Haaaa, itu la antara komen-komen yang terdengar sayup-sayup... Well, whatever it is, whether you like or don't like kan, people in Malaysia memang suka motif bunga, termasuk lah I ni :) Cuba nengok kain baju kurung, memang banyak yang bonga-bonga kan? Not just on fabrics, kalau u all tengok and perati, ukiran kayu orang dulu2 pun banyak yang motifnya bunga2 or plants la kan. Kalau nengok pinggan-mangkuk lama2 pun sama. Flora dan fauna kan in abundance kat tanahair kita ni. 

So baru2 ni, I telah pergi menyusur ke kedai mencari barangan florals yang baru, sebab saja lah kira nak naikkan seri my living room sikit kan. My aim nak cari benda2 yang cheapo sajalah... sebab budget pun tak berapa nak ada kan heheheheh... So feast your eyes on the small2 thing that I purchased, which are.... yes... u r right.......... all florals!

Pink and White flowers yang diarrange dalam watering can yang also berbunga.

A new Floral lampshade which was on best buy.

New Floral cushion covers.

I bought 10.

New Floral console table runner, to match with the cushion covers.

I bought 2 of 'em.

Another Floral lampshade bought at a remarkable discounted price.

Owwhhh, it's pink and so lovely!

And these, ok ok these aren't floral. Just couldn't resist them, too damn cute! And so cheap too.

Only RM 5 a pop =)

And all purchased at a value of not more than RM 150 semua sekali. Best kan? It was soooooo therapeutic, too. Now, I can relax with a smile in my floral fantasy of a living room. Ehhe! And psssttttt, that does not make me a granny ya ;-P

Get Clean! Lifebuoy Clean!

Heya Folks!!! How are you all coping today? It's back to school for all our kids yeah. Thank goodness this morning was a smooth process with the boys. I was kinda surprised jugak as my Adam usually never did take 'back to school day one' so easily, buy hey whaddyaknow, he was quite happy to be going off to school and I swore he was smiling as our car reached his school gate. Wah, hari ini hari bertuah buatku! Hahaha

Today's entry is about the LifeBuoy Let's Be Clean contest that my sons 'accidentally' participated in last week as we sedang berjalan-jalan di Sunway Pyramid. Sedang kami berjalan-jalan, termasuk lah dalam area LifeBuoy ni. And the adik promoter tu terus memancing my boys to participate. They sure did not waste any time la kan. Asal game aje, depa dah 'eksaited' terlebih. 

This is the first game. Antara gambar2 kat board tu, pilih gambar2 yang menunjukkan kebersihan. Easy-peasy lah

Second, kena pilih 2 bola hijau di dalam timbunan bola merah. Easy-peasy juga lah

Third, kena baling bola kat GERMS, yang ni best hahaha. My son baling sampai 4 papan GERMS jatuh hikhik

Last, Spin & Win

Best ni dapat pusing2 benda alah tu ala-ala Roda Impian kan 

;)

SO APAKAH HADIAHNYA?

Ta Daaaaaaaaa

3 sabun LifeBuoy dan sekotak Plaster LifeBuoy

Hahaha

Bolehlah tu, the boys seronok sakan dapat menang benda2 tu =)

When there's just no such thing as 'enough'

Yesterday had another mini gathering with my uni-mates. This time around at Intan H's home in Shah Alam. At first, I thought there was gonna be the two of us, me and another friend. But, it turned out soooo much better... FIVE of us came! I reached there at about 3pm, as the general idea was for a tea session. Tetapi, apabila set-set ni berjumpa, mula berborak dan bersembang dan mengilai (haha), tea session bersambung kepada dinner pula! Aduhai!

That's the thing kalau jumpa balik geng2 ni, there will never be such a thing as having 'enough' time. Tak cukup2 berborak, dan tak cukup2 makan makan makan. Menunya pengat pisang, laksa assam, bihun sup utara, kuih-muih, cendol, ayaq teh. Hamboi2, tak hengat masing2 dah toot toot toot ya... hahahahah... xpe, lepas ni dietttttt =)

Hmmnnnn.... dah macam nak tara kucha...tara kucha cha....

Nyeahahahaha

We had a really good time. And that got me thinking..... As we grow wiser (and older eheh) in life, we realize who are our 'real' friends. The ones that accept you for who you are, and terima you seadanya. The ones that still want to be friends and to keep the friendship alive, even after sooooo many many years have passed.... The ones that still make the effort to keep in touch, even when distance and time are an issue.

Maybe in years to come, there might be rough patches from time to time between us, but I do believe that IF each one of us make a conscious decision to keep our friendship alive, there will never be a time when there will be no more gatherings such as what we had yesterday.

Just remember the key to a harmonious sisterhood. Always take time to listen.Do not make judgements. Accept each other's differences and celebrate it. Be wary of the green-eyed monster. Do not give advice unless asked. Dan yang paling penting dalam apa-apa pun yang kita buat dalam dunia ini, mesti IKHLAS. Jernihkan hati. 

Dan yang paling I tekankan dalam kehidupan seharian, walaupun sometimes with certain people adalah agak sukar......................... selalulah BERBAIK SANGKA.

Here's to good friends and a lifetime of positive frienship! Cheers!

Early is good, but............

Heya Folks!! Whaddyaknow, school hols is already nearing the end. So this weekend must be super highly charged and busy busy busy for mommies and daddies, as it's the last two days to bring out your kids for funtime activities outside home before curtain calls! Monday comes, and it's back to normal for the kids and parents and the traffic everywhere will be nightmarish again :)

As I memang tak bawa anak2 pegi bercuti ke mana-mana cuti sekolah ini, aktiviti kami hanyalah berkitar di kawasan rumah, rumah my mom, Giant, Tesco, Subang Parade dan Sunway Pyramid hehehe. And so I decided to bring them for a movie treat. Cerita apalagi, the much awaited Toy Story 3 lah. Being the 'kiasu' mommy that I am, I wanted to bring the kids on the first day of it's screening, roped in the hubby bubbly jugak and we went off dengan 'eksaited' nya ke One Utama. Went straight to the ticketing counter, dah bau dah buttered popcorn tak sabar-sabar nak ngunyah while watching the show kan. And GUESS WHAT?

I brought the kids to the cinema A DAY EARLY! I bawak dorang hari Rabu! Padahal first screening kan hari Khamis which was yesterday! Bwahahahahahah!

Appadaaa Mommy!

My hubby bubbly had a whale of a time la snickering at me. Huhh!! Nyampah! =) Well, jadiknya we brought the kids main-main kat Starship Galactica sajalah, as we know they would enjoy it there. 

Moral of the story: Check la dulu screening time and date mommy oiiii

Ready for the inter-galactic experience.

The tiered play area. Thank goodness my three boys dah besar2, I don't have to accompany them going up anymore. My youngest tak ikut, if bawak dia, sure berpeluh I dibuatnya.

The small cafe cum party area cum waiting area

They have stuff like fries, nuggets, sandwiches, nasi lemak, ice-cream ..

There's even lockers for you to put in your stuff

Back from space, and now time for chow, hungggrrryyyy lehh

Okeh, bye bye for now. Nanti sambung cerita lagi k

At Seoul Garden We Meet...... And Eat Eat Eat!!

I always look forward for school holidays. U know why? Coz that's when we have our mini gathering. 'We' as in my bosom buddies from my uni years. It's a much anticipated event for us as every time we had the get together, as there would be a surprise. Surprise tu berupa kawan yang kita tak sangka datang but datang. Ye lah, not all of us live within the vicinity of KL/Selangor kan. So, memang happy dapat jumpa friends yang datang from other states or friends yang reside overseas and balik bercuti, or simply friends yang dah lama tak sua muka. And most importantly, we get to makan2 sambil bergelak ketawa sakan just like the good old days =)

We would make it a point to meet at different makan place everytime so that we could have a change of scene and of course taste a different kind of food. So yesterday, we had our chatter banter at Seoul Garden One Utama. Seoul Garden serves Korean Bulgogi and is 100% Halal. No pork or alcohol served. It is also a place where you pay RM30 and you could eat till you drop to the floor. Hahaha. Makan sampai lebam! =) And that's what we did! And we stayed there for FIVE solid hours, of course minus trips to the Ladies and Surau la kan. Ahaks.

I was so happy to meet Nisza, my housemate in Edinburgh!

*hugs and much love*

Kebetulan she 'balik kampung'

She is currently residing in Kelantan and 'balik kampung' di Wangsa Maju =)

Kay in green and Ina next to her.

I have known these peeps for 18 years!

Imagine that!

And we still get along so well together.

*So sayang them*

The one in black (Yong) antara 'muka-muka wajib' like me lah.

Muka yang wajib ada everytime gathering, hehheh :D

Mmmmmm.....Nom Nom Nom Nom Nom

The one in mustard (CikYah) is a great cook! Visit her blog k. I am forever hoping that she would update more often though! And the cutie wearing the sweet multicolored cheongsam is Anita. She holds a Master's Degree in Special Needs from the University of Florida. Isn't that something worth mentioning? I truly believe so.

You know why meeting your high school or college buddies Very Important? It makes you feel YOUNG again! Hehehe. And yes, as I told my friends again and again and again...... We keep each other young!! And of course, it feels so very comfortable talking to people who knows you way back then, right back to  the 'wonder years' when we girls turned into women =) The stories and histories we share might make a good novel perhaps? Hehheh.

Looking forward to the next school holidays loverlies! Till then, cheers!
