My favorite snack will be toasts! Toast bread with melted salted butter, cheese, ham and just any other ingredient you can place on a toast bread!

Another new toy to add to my kitchen collection.

Tefal Convenient Series, a 2-tier electric steamer. A really handy kitchen equipment for a busy family. Basically, with this product I can go handsfree on cooking healthy meals for my family!

From my extensive shopping list for baby. I can finally shortlist what is really necessary so that not only my readers can use as ref. but even I can refer back in the near future for no.2 hehehe...

For exclusively breastfeeding mums.

- A handful of (either one) cooked ham, bacon bits or raw minced meat of your choice (luncheon meat also can)

- Oil of your choice (Olive oil for healthier choice or butter for aromatic choice)

I gave birth to my 1st son on 11th Nov 2014. It was a very raw, new & exciting experience as a first time mom. I went for 2 antenatal seminars thinking I was prepared. I even read stories from other moms on FB and google up all sorts of information just to be prepared when my 1st child arrives into our lives!

It was exciting and fun at the same time. I wanted to go for HypnoBirthing classes however, timing wasn't right so I went on YouTube and practices "J" breathing on my own. However, please don't follow me. The method is totally wrong!! (Read my 2nd birthing with proper HypnoBirthing method applied). Because I wasn't properly prepared for birthing and I opted for normal birth, my birth plan was quite simple, normal birth + immediate skin-to-skin + fully breastfeed + delayed cord clamping (up to 2min).

Having a quick homecooked meal is sometimes the hardest. This is especially true for most housewives whether they are FTWM(Full time Working Moms), WAHM (Work At Home Moms) or SAHM (Stay At Home Moms). Even for daddies too.

My version of the current trending "Tomato  Rice" recipe.

30 days came and gone.
The milestone that I've been anticipating.
The end of my confinement and my baby Daniel fullmoon celebration.

11th Dec 2014, Baby Daniel's Fullmoon Dinner with family members and the end of my confinement!

After doing my research online, I decided for baby Daniel's first outing; I wanted a cosy clean environment and preferably with easy access. We decided for I.Prefer.Original (I.P.O) Malaysian Food @ One City. 

The entrance is simple, cosy and inviting.

Our newborn baby boy Daniel arrived on the 11th Nov 2014. Such a joyful event for us to finally be able to hold him in our arms and provide him with unconditional tender loving care and protection.

Thanks to my stubbornness to go to baby fairs and check out baby shops nearby and lots of Googling; We managed to find the perfect diaper fit for our baby Daniel! (Lets hope it is long term)

After all the samples received we saved money on the first 5-days diaper change with our LO (aka Little One). 

The only diapers we invested in is Merries and it was money well invested in (although we paid via Jusco Gift Vouchers that I have collected so it's practically FOC).

Ever heard of Cielo Dolci? It's a very interesting ice cream shop that serves unique flavours apart from those you see in Baskin Robbins. 

Simple dinner @ One City. This place is basically a place for food. But not those kinda food that you can opt for daily. They have a variety but the selection is too mass and not one of the shops here are a crowd-puller. It's like you'll only come here for food once in awhile or only for certain food cravings.

What we needed today was a quick dinner fix for the lazy bums like us that don't mind spending. 

Am Sande Cafe, just a few shoplots away from San Nae Deul at Ground floor in One City.

The latest addition at The Main Place USJ 21. Fish & Co. restaurant, the concept similar to Manhattan Fish, serves basically anything to do with fish.

The interior design is quite interesting, the seating area beautifully decorated like you're at sea. The graffiti art on the wall and the food is really good here too. Fresh seafood, especially the fish!
