I love how Daniel’s school teaches him other festivities. I want my kids to be deeply rooted but also are eager to learn, understand and respect other cultures. For Deepavali, he wore an Indian costume. For Christmas, he wore a Snowman costume. And for this recent Chinese New Year, he wore a Chinese-inspired costume. I was […]

mariam’s first birthday party
I had an emo mom moment recently when Mariam was giggling with me in bed while I tickled her. She is seriously a Daddy’s Girl and no one else comes close, so when Dean isn’t around, I want to have as much Mommy time with her… cos when he comes into the room, anyone else (even […]

week roundup
I just finished swimming with Dean and the kids and now am waiting for my chicken soup to boil (homemade yawww!). My heart feels so at peace and I just feel so happy and complete right now. We’re all freshly showered and spending time together. These past few weeks have all just been about work […]

the dramatic cardigan
I may be busy but there’s always time for a quick OOTD! And a quick fix to a dress-up cheat; a long cardigan. Seriously, the drama when you walk or leave a room.. it’s gorgeous! I like to overdo it and flick it until it looks really lame haha. Wearing Mulberry dUCk scarf, silk cardigan […]

faith soraya
My sister’s bun in the oven was baked already but didn’t want to come out. We went for the CTG scan (soooo early in the morning btw) and boy, were we bored. When I say bored, I mean bored. I had to go travel that day for 2 days so I was really worried that my […]

the best RM35 not spent
Dean and I had a few hours to ourselves (we totally dumped our kids at grandma’s) and it was pretty nice to just hold hands and enjoy each other and only each other. We had a heart to heart talk recently. We were both getting way too busy with work and it’s at a point […]

printed pair
I love love love matching print head to toe. It’s just that it’s not often you find brands that make matching print, which is such a shame. Matching prints can give you the illusion of height and provided that the print is actually nice (haha!), you’ll be sure to get loads of compliments like how […]

that porcelain perfect glow
Sponsored Post I get those “You’re so fair, you’re so lucky!” comments and to be honest, fairness doesn’t equal to radiance or “glow”. Being fair has its downsides e.g. if you get a pimple/rash/any redness, it’s soooo obvious. Or if you have dark spots, it’s amplified because of your fair base. Look at this! I […]

These two hands, guys, *holding my palms up proudly*, they made all that. I mean, COME ON… Kari tulang is what you get at restaurant menus as their Tuesday-special kind of […]

where’s my private jet
I mean seriously… when I styled this outfit, I kept imagining people handing me guava juice in my private jet, and asking me if I wanted newspaper. Finally, after much pestering from all of us, Mimak comes out with her non-dresses line. LoveToDress is known for their immaculately tailored dresses, so she was a bit nervous […]

daun seledri
Daily important conversations with Kakak. Thought I’d share because her spelling never fails to crack me up! Hahahaha. Until now, I still don’t know what daun seledri is and I’m pretty sure I’ll be disappointing her again when I come back with some other daun. :”””) #prayforpuan

naming and shaming
Ever had that time in your life when you were so angry at one person that you were tempted to tell the world about it on your insta/blog? Well, don’t do it. I don’t tell you a lot of the negative things that happen in my life, but one of it; last year, I was betrayed big […]

outside daniel’s room
Daniel’s really the cheeky little fella who makes all of us smile in the family. For a 2-and-a-half-year old, he speaks really well so he can converse with you and when you say something that doesn’t make sense to him, he’ll go “Huh?” and thinks about it like an adult. Every morning, I’ll find him […]

minty fresh
Again with the dramatic tail at the back, I can’t get over this look! Instant dress-up look even when you’re not trying. Love it! (Pics are overexposed cos they were taken by Iman. She totally exaggerated her photography skills in her interview pftttttttt) Wearing Peonies Blooming dUCk and long top (available in many colours and […]

IT’S SO BIG I CAN’T EVEN
Yesterday was such a surreal day. We finally have our own FV billboard on the Federal Highway. I’ve been talking about wanting a billboard ever since FV started followed by a “We can’t afford it yet, it doesn’t make financial sense,” from Dean followed by a Hrrmpphhhhh from me. But I get it though. Billboards are more […]

dean turns 28
For Dean’s birthday this year, we surprised him 2 days early! He absolutely had no idea of course so I’d say this is a good strategy for a surprise party. But then again, it’s bad cos on the actual birthday, you have to figure something out again. Hehe. We surprised him in the office with […]

weekend getaway in penang
We took Mariam on her first ever holiday and also in conjunction with Dean’s birthday. And now we’re in PENANG!!!!! We did so many things from eating everything under the sun, swimming, parasailing (yep I did that hokayyy!), batik canting, shopping at the stalls, queuing up for cendol. I can’t write much here but you […]

3-hour car ride
I just got back home from the long drive from Penang and mannnn reading my previous post is just annoying right now! Haha. The journey was so tiring and stressful that I almost screamed at the kids. The journey going was so much easier because both kids slept the whole way, but the journey going […]
