Ok OK. I kNOW I haven't been logging on to update my blog - blame it on the addictive nature of SIMS 3. haahhaa Alan Sims has already achieved his lifelong ambiiton of being a CEO of a Mega Corporation and is now the Governor of the town. On the other hand, Sharon Sims changed her job from a journalist and scooping up dirt of the town to being a misery chef. hahaa They already have one son, Ethan Tan , who has learned how to poop in the potty, talk and walk. hahahaa
Ok back to reality. Alan and I are headed back next weekend (again!) -this time for one working week! He has LOADS to do in the office and I'm just going to stone around town and pick up some shopping. So anyone who wants to meet up, drop me a line! YaY!
We will probably collect the keys to our new house next Monday (earlier than expected) and henceforth the renovations will begin! We look forward to moving in before the start of the Chinese 7th Month (that's in August) and getting everything spic and span before then. Guests will be welcomed after that if you wanna waddle around KL with an elephant. hahaa
Take care all!

A Visit to Gleneagles
This morning, we headed to Gleneagles to visit a new gynae - Dr Ravi Chandran. He came recommended by our specialist in Camden Medical Centre, Spore so we wanted to consult him on what we should do following the HD ultra sound scan that the latter had done for us.
Our appointment was at 1020am and we turned up just a few minutes before then. However, we were told we had to wait as the doc had come in late due to a morning delivery. OK Then! We went to visit the delivery wards and the maternity wards as well. Both looked very cosy and non-threatening and I think Gleneagles is the way to go. :)
Back at the doc's clinic, Alan spent his time playing Sims3 whilst I self-entertained with magazines. It was almost 12 when Dr Ravi saw us. He put us at ease almost immediately and chatted with us. I gave him an update on the situation. Very soon, and after a body checkup, we were free to leave.
Alan brought me to a road-side stall nera his office which sold delicious duck / chicken / charsiew rice. We ate heartily, starving as usual. And then he dropped me off at Pavilion to while away my time.
I walked around and decided that nothing was worth buying. In the end, I caught a movie by myself - haaha You will not guess what movie I watched....*DrumRoll* HANNAH MONTANAH! My tian ah! In the end, the movie was quite sweet and when I got out, it was time to go home to cook 4 dinner.

Our weekend plans :)
June 12 2009 (Friday)
After a tiring tuition (my first of the week), we headed to Mid Valley again for some 'life'. We tried out a restaurant on the top level of the mall, very near the cinema called 'LaManila' and were amazed to notice the wide variety of food served. We had always walked past it when enroute to the movies and tonight, I cajoled Alan to give it a shot!
Alan and I had a set dinner each which consisted of a big bowl of curry mee (yum) and iced soya bean milk. The meal cost only RM10.80 + each. At 9pm, we watched the 3-D version of Monsters Vs Aliens. Pretty entertaining and I like the bug which turned into a butterfly in the end. hahaa. Bob the Blob was quite a goondu but very very cute as well!
June 12 2009 (Saturday)
Today, we went back to MVMM to get our sorely-missed, long-awaited hair cuts to prevent us from looking like curry puffs any longer. But before that, we needed to 'hug the Buddha's leg' and we brought Coco downstairs for some training. He would be having his pre-novice obedience exam the next day and again, the parents are worried ... *cross fingers*
After getting a late brunch at the same restaurant which we had eaten at the night before, (ALan had hae mee soup and I, Ipoh Horfun), we walked past the exhibition hall and realised to our delight that it was "Games and Gadgets Day". hahaha. I could not not buy two games (Zoo Empire and G.H.O.S.T. Hunters - The Haunting of Majesty Manor) at RM24 each and surprisingly Alan walked out empty-handed. I guess it's because he had already bought the coveted Infamous from Sungei Wang the day before already. ahhahaha
We pretended to rush then and hopped into La Mode to allow Bill, our stylist , his hands on our hair. We left only at around 3pm, satisfied customers albeit bums aching. Alan paid RM800 for a package which gave us RM1000 value that day. Before I was done, he also hopped into the gaming shop upstairs and bought me SIMs 3- PC version. So that I can play with him on his Mac Version. ahahah
We headed out to SS2 area then and chanced upon Baby Jaya a 3 storey building which houses stuff for sale for baby care etc. The cot looked quite sturdy and pretty and we are considering it. Their selection of apparel is not the most fantastic though. I've realised that online , I can buy many items at a fraction of the cost and that's what I am going to do!
At around 6ish, we headed to a meepok stall which was featured in the local newspapers recently to check out its wares.
Although it was mentioned that the dishes were ' filling', Alan and I had a hard time filling our tummies. The meepok was "OK" - not as nice as Singapore's and the bowl was very small.
It was suffice to say that one bowl each did not satisfy the 2.5 of us. hahaa
We ordered , to supplement our meal, a bowl of Alan's fav fishball soup and then had to fry up another small plate of fried chee cheong fun.
Initially, we wanted to take-out two bowls of their renowned fish paste porridge for bf the next morning but in the end, it was sold out. :( My ginger tea was delicious though and thick . Yumz. Any ideas on how to make ginger tea? It's addictive!
Then, it was back home to hang out with the little ones (the laptops I mean).ahahhaa We downloaded Sims and had a good time.
June 13 2009 Sunday
The day started out on a lousy note with the heat and the disappointment. We quickly discovered that Coco had a low IQ level and was not of the same standard as his brothers Ash and Jay Jay. :P Nevertheless, he passed the examination, although Alan's face was very black towards the end. :X hahahaa We are Monster Parents! This is scary news for the little unborn one. :S
After dropping the dogs off at home and having a quick shower, I was starving and we had a quick lunch at The Gardens foodcourt before Alan had to go enjoy himself at Cres. *sigh* Becos of my jail term, I was not allowed any massages and there was no free slot for facial that day. BooHooHoo. :(
I roamed around for the better part of that hour and bought some items at Art Friend. I am going to make little TK and princess out of some materials that I had bought. hahaha. I will also make Sharon and Chris their wedding card. :)
When Alan was done, we collected the car from the Car Wash and then quickly headed to Bangsar Pasar Malum to pick up items such as fruits / vegetables / seafood. Then, we tapaoed some assam laksa from the roadside stall for dinner and headed to TMC to buy some groceries.
When we were done, we quickly loaded the car and headed home for Super Sunday! YaY. hahaha

Thursday - Home Alone
Hello guys! I'm still waiting for Alan to come home. My company? The two little doggies and my Vaio and HBO! hahaha Just finished watching Spiderwick Chronicles and going to tune in to Fracture - a movie I've always wanted to watch! (YAY)
The haze was quite bad today - I took a picture from the 25th storey where I live to illustrate this fact. Terok huh?
I went for a quickie
I went for a quickieswim today and breathed some in. It rained (actually stormed) in the early evening and I was mighty glad it stopped so I could pop into the pool.
Anyway, does anyone have any suggestions for a venue of travel? Before I pop (EDD 9th Nov), I would love to take a trip. After that, it would be shackles to the Home for a long long time..*sigh*
Watched the movie Nine Months today on HBO- by Hugh Grant and Julianne Moore and I was suddenly fearful of the delivery of the child. Seems scary and all the moms were screaming away in utter agony. Jiu Ming Ah. Epidural Please!
Wish Alan will be home soon. The poor baby has worked very hard this week. :(

H.A.Z.E. + Dinner
The haze is really bad in KL. When you look outta the window, no matter which hour of the day, the sky's a white blurry mess and the horizon is vague. The irony is that apparently the air is as fresh as fresh can get in Jakarta. Good grief!
Anyway, I coop myself up at home and which on the aircon 24/7 and try not to breathe so much (hahaha). But tonite, I need to venture out to Pavilion to accompany my sweetie husband for dinner with his boss and entourage.
The Boss is in town on a leisure trip with his mother and wife and three young children. We will be bringing them to the delicious Shabu Shabu restaurant I have blogged about around a month or two ago.
Tonight, Alan will also find out some interesting news... I shall not be a party pooper now. :X
After dinner:
It's around 11+pm now and we are back from the dinner engagement. We went to Shabu Shabu in Imbi and sat in the VIP room. The Lazy Susan was filled with glorious food and the scallops were almost as large as my palm.
This time round, I had shark cartiledge soup (to make up for the one I lacked in Si Chuan Dou Hua in Spore) and had lots to eat as usual. I chatted with Diana and the Ah ma (the wife and mom of The Boss, Joseph, respectively) and also played with his 6 yr old Carrie who is this lovely and chatty girl :) The Ah Ma and Diana gave me expert tips on how to be a good mum and I took mental notes as they dished out info.
Time flew by and soon the desserts were served. I savoured the egg tart and felt it melt in my mouth. hahaha. Damn good! The mango pudding was delicious as well. It was almost 1045pm when we bade everyone goodbye and went home to rest after a hectic day and night.
As for the NEWS - that one you have to ask Alan what info his boss from with him from Spore. haha

The Great Singapore Sale!
5 June 2009 (Friday)
We hopped into our car and drove back in a couple of hours and arrived in Singapore for a short and sweet shopping saga.
Too tired to begin shopping after the long journey though, we decided to settle for dinner at G7 Geylang. Mum and Ening joined us for the meal and we had succulent frog leg porridge, oyster ommelette, hotplate toufu and stir-fried long beans for dinner. Yumz. Another craving satisfied!
We stopped by the fruit stall along Tanjong Katong Road on our way home and picked out 7 durians for the price of 6 (3 for $10 only!) and some other fruits.
Then, it was home sweet home to sayang our Ashie dearie. Yvonne and Paul came over and we all chatted over durians and supplement fruits through the night. :)
6 June 2009 (Saturday)
Our first stop was Camden Medical Centre to allay our fears. Dr Anandakumar was very professional and his experience and his comprehensive high-def ultrasound scanning, coupled with his patient explanation put our fears at rest. :)
We headed next to Raffles City to have a quick lunch - we were ultra-disappointed to find out that our favourite beef noodles stall had either moved or closed down so we settled for mee pok but soon realised that the stall in the food court at Raffles City would not please our palates. :P
Then, we roamed around and did some baby-shopping. There was a pushcart outside the foodcourt and we bought 3 baby bibs for $15. We also went into Robinsons to shop around and ended up with a very lovely wooden rice container and two chopping boards for the new house. We did our calculations and decided that buying (baby) stuff in KL was much more worth the ringgit (dollar) and so we will pick up more baby items at the sales in KL instead.
Tired and thirsty, we headed to Canele (after I bought Alan a small camera bag at Crumpler to house his new Sony Videocamcorder) and bumped into Auntie Meng who was gossiping with a friend by the fountain. :) After promising her more catch-up chances, we had our yummy icecream and Vanilla Hot Chocolate to fill our bellies.
Alaln popped by Peninsula Plaza after that for afew items and I dozed off in the car whilst waiting for him to emerge with his purchases. True to his word, he emerged in 15mins :) To supplement the dinner, we swung by a Chinese Dimsum stall and I picked up some items (e.g. carrot cake, siew mai, egg tarts etc)
Home beckoned there and then we had a short rest and quick shower before everyone else turned up for a much anticipated MeeSIam dinner. Yay Everyone had a good time and watched in awe as the Vaio displayed video clips of our baby wriggling about in my womb. hahaha After the dinner and dessert (of durians/ fruits / cocktail logans / kuih etc), ALan and I brought Ash for a walk in the nearby park. :)
7 June 2009 (Sunday)
Today was a busy day.
Our first stop was Parkway Parade where Alan and I had a good meal in the foodcourt for brunch. I had my coveted Ban Mian (Mee suar) and he had his usual fix of Bar Chor Mee Pok (more vinegar pls).
After that, he bought Sim3 and a couple of other items. I had nothing to buy so I headed into Watsons to pick up some necessities to bring back to KL. Alan entered a Sony shop and emerged victorious with some printing paper etc for our new plaything (a free Sony printer that came with the purchase of our new camcorder).
Soon, it was time to head to CK Tangs at Orchard Road. We made a beeline for our favourite section ( I swear I am begining to enjoy being a housewife!) - The Household Appliances Section. We picked out a crock pot to double-boil the tonnes of birdsnest that my MotherInLaw had so generously bought me (and my baby), 3 tubs of soya beans, 1 WMF frying pan ( Alan couldn't resist and claims he NEEDS it to successfully fry his Aglio Olio), a ladle, a frying slice and a fruit peeler and a huge airtight container to store the birdsnest!
Next stop: Centrepoint (Robinsons). There were throngs of people there so we had to be focused and on task. We made up our minds to get the orange KitchenAid mixer (which came with a free recipe book) and then picked out a King Koil quilt on sale and a huggable bolster and bolster case for our new house (yay). There were also a couple of baby items we picked out and paid for. What a satisfying shopping experience!
Then, we popped by Crocs at Marina Square to choose a pair for Daddy in lieu of Fathers' Day. We added a smiley face and a cow button to spruce up the dark blue shoes. In 15mins we were done and it was TIME.
Dadinlaw, Muminlaw, my mum, Jean, Sharon and TK met us at Si Chuan Dou Hua for a fantastic dinner. At $38.80 per pax we could enjoy many-a-dish. We ordered soup after soup, fish after fish and other dishes like jellyfish, chicken, veges and more. We even polished off desserts like beancurd, herbal jelly, mango pudding, fruits etc. Before our buckles burst, we decided to call it a night at 945pm and left the restaurant after gorging on delicacies since 630pm!
8 June 2009 (Monday)
Before we left for home, we headed to Funan Centre for a last try to buy a certain item. Brunch was horrid and I didn't enjoy my nasi lemak at Qiji's one bit. :P Then, we went to visit Grandma at Bkt Merah and brought her a pack of chicken essence.
Then, we commenced our long journey home....
p/s: I apologise for the lack of photographs. My hands were full of shopping bags throughout the weekend. :P

Our Weekend was Packed!
Friday 29 May 2009
I had Dania's class from 9am - 12pm and could barely open my eyes when Hayden came from 1230-130pm. After that , I treated myself to He's Just Not That Into You on DVD and then a short nap before Alan came home to whisk me off to The Gardens.
We had our movie premier Terminator Salvation booked at 645pm and so we enjoyed our dinner at Yoshinoya (RM6.90 for a meal!!!) and then bought pop corn (Alan's staple in movies). Along the way, we met Dania and her family who were also catching the same movie! ahaha
Saturday 30 May 2009
We woke up exceptionally early (for a Saturday) at around 930am and since Alan was craving for fishhead beehoon, we showered and got ready and headed to our fav stall at Taman Desa to satisfy the cravings.
After the meal ,during which Alan almost got choked by a fish bone (!), we made a beeline for Parkson at Pavilion as we had been told by a saleslady that there would be a baby fair there till the end of June.
Excitedly, we picked up baby clothes at a steal and Alan made payment for a Graco stroller that would have cost us SGD 300 more in Singapore! Amazing, but true! We also chose a Winnie The Pooh set (of mittens / booties / beanie) that was o-so-cute and a blanket and a baby bath tub. Ok ok, I know the baby's not due till Nov but it's easier to buy and stock up now then wait for the last minute yea? hahaha
After the shopping experience, we sat down to enjoy some dessert at a HK cafe and then went over to The Gardens for a good reason :to buy our new video camcorder! Alan's excuse? Oh he wants to record the baby...hahaha I think it's just his new toy-fetish!
We tried out the Thai Assam Laksa at the basement of The Garden (the shop which sells S-Bread) and boy was it mouth-watering! The sardine came in chunks and the gravy was thick and tasty. BAGUS!
After purchasing our new Sony for our Son, we then went to Jusco to satisfy my cravings - DURIANS! We bought two packets of durians of supposedly v good quality for RM60 and then headed home where we cooked our dinner of phad thai and steamed pomfret. Nice!
I was super tired from all that activity and retired early that night...at around midnight!
31 May 2009 (Sunday)
The usual routine started at 730am when my alarm rang. Coco was having morning class today so we got ready and brought them to Taman Desa. The boys got very dirty again after the class and we headed home soon after.
After a brief rest, Alan and I ventured out for our brunch and had Japanese food at the basement of The Gardens at Sushi-Zen. We shared Unagi Don, Beef Ramen and also a Dragon Roll but burned our pockets at Rm69.
We also picked up some Japanese biscuits and munchies at the fair nearby...
Then, it was back to the camera shop to exchange / purchase some items and then HOME SWEET HOME!
After a 3 hour nap, we showered the dogs who were fluffy and sweet-smelling a while later and left for TTDI and a pub called Sid 34. This pub is run by a Brit and it is so special because Dogs are ALLOWED inside!! So un-Malaysian!! hahaha. We brought Jay Jay and Coco along in their best attire.
The Tan family (whose poodle goes for training in the same class as Coco) was already with Cloe their doggie and we all sat down together and ordered up some good food.
We were amazed at the number of doggies in the pub. There was even a Golden Retriever seated at the bar! Hahahaha. Dogs were allowed INSIDE the restaurant! Amazing!
Jay Jay was the star again (of cos) and many a lady walked up to me to ask for permission to pet my pooch. hahaha. He (jj) of cos entertained each and everyone and gave wet kisses freely. haahhaa. He was dressed in his little ladybug suit and thus looked even cuter than ever!
After the chitchat and great company, we left to head for home, exhausted but extremely contented at a weekend well-spent! :)
I had Dania's class from 9am - 12pm and could barely open my eyes when Hayden came from 1230-130pm. After that , I treated myself to He's Just Not That Into You on DVD and then a short nap before Alan came home to whisk me off to The Gardens.

Ok ok, I know the baby's not due till Nov but it's easier to buy and stock up now then wait for the last minute yea? hahaha
After the shopping experience, we sat down to enjoy some dessert at a HK cafe and then went over to The Gardens for a good reason :to buy our new video camcorder! Alan's excuse? Oh he wants to record the baby...hahaha I think it's just his new toy-fetish!
We tried out the Thai Assam Laksa at the basement of The Garden (the shop which sells S-Bread) and boy was it mouth-watering! The sardine came in chunks and the gravy was thick and tasty. BAGUS!
After purchasing our new Sony for our Son, we then went to Jusco to satisfy my cravings - DURIANS! We bought two packets of durians of supposedly v good quality for RM60 and then headed home where we cooked our dinner of phad thai and steamed pomfret. Nice!
I was super tired from all that activity and retired early that night...at around midnight!
31 May 2009 (Sunday)
The usual routine started at 730am when my alarm rang. Coco was having morning class today so we got ready and brought them to Taman Desa. The boys got very dirty again after the class and we headed home soon after.
After a brief rest, Alan and I ventured out for our brunch and had Japanese food at the basement of The Gardens at Sushi-Zen. We shared Unagi Don, Beef Ramen and also a Dragon Roll but burned our pockets at Rm69.
We also picked up some Japanese biscuits and munchies at the fair nearby...
Then, it was back to the camera shop to exchange / purchase some items and then HOME SWEET HOME!
After a 3 hour nap, we showered the dogs who were fluffy and sweet-smelling a while later and left for TTDI and a pub called Sid 34. This pub is run by a Brit and it is so special because Dogs are ALLOWED inside!! So un-Malaysian!! hahaha. We brought Jay Jay and Coco along in their best attire.
The Tan family (whose poodle goes for training in the same class as Coco) was already with Cloe their doggie and we all sat down together and ordered up some good food.
We were amazed at the number of doggies in the pub. There was even a Golden Retriever seated at the bar! Hahahaha. Dogs were allowed INSIDE the restaurant! Amazing!
Jay Jay was the star again (of cos) and many a lady walked up to me to ask for permission to pet my pooch. hahaha. He (jj) of cos entertained each and everyone and gave wet kisses freely. haahhaa. He was dressed in his little ladybug suit and thus looked even cuter than ever!
After the chitchat and great company, we left to head for home, exhausted but extremely contented at a weekend well-spent! :)
