Feeding fishes at Taman Bukit Jalil

Hi folks!

It's awesome i felt for people who stays near a nice park or recreational activities i felt. Then at least you will more motivated to just grab your shoes and have a good sweat in nature.

I brought my kids to Taman Bukit Jalil with my sister and her family and it was another awesome place to go your children.

I used to go jogging here (once) with ex-colleagues after work but this is the first time i bring the kids there.

They have quite big space to run about, nice playground and lotsa fishes to feed to.

The kids was counting how many animals they saw at the park at the dinner table that day. They counted to 10- monkey, flamingo(yes! At the park!), squirrel, gigantic ants, fishes, dragonfly, dogs, bird, .......

Such a fun trip! Who needs i-gadgets? Ha..bring the kids outdoor close to nature when needed some gadgers "detox"..

Cheers!

Outing at Taman Botani Putrajaya

Hi folks!

The kids have been asking for bicycle trip for sometime. One fine day, we finally made a trip to Taman Botani Putrajaya. The kids had a great time cycling(you can rent or bring your own bicycle there), feeding fishes and boat ride there.

Quite a nice place to go for picnic too..

Hope to have such outings more often with DH and children..it's a much better option than spending time indoor with gadgets..


Cheers!

Making Overnight Oats

Hi folks!

How is everyone getting on? Belated Selamat Hari Raya to all my friends...

Just a short update about my recent experiment of making Overnight Oats.

After seeing the leaflet and recipes of overnight oats from BMS Organics..it got me started.

One day when i happened to have all my ingredients at hands, I just went ahead and make a jar...voila...it was marvelously yummy! Taste like a mix of yogurt and ice-cream. Yummy!

The recipe from BMS has maple syrup and since I do not have..i would either put honey or during the Raya season where dates are aplenty I add dates or kurma for the sweetness!

So awfully yummy! :D U gotta try it!

Ingredients:

Organic Ricemilk 

Medjool dates

strawberries

blueberries

Nuts and Fruits cereal

bananas

maple syrup/honey (if like it sweet)

rolled oats

chia seed

Steps:

1. Pour the rice milk to a glass jar till it fills up half of the jar.

2. Put approximately 3-4 tablespoon of oats

3. Pour in maple syrup/honey (optional).

4. Put in slices of bananas, strawberries, blueberries,chia seeds.

5. Topped with generous amounts of nuts cereals.

6. Place in fridge for 4-8 hours.

The overnight oats can be eaten approx 4 hours after soaking "yummily" in the fridge. You can also eat it after 8 hours for "richer and creamier" taste.

Feel free to add/substitute and experiment with different varieties of ingredients you like!

My friend had wanted to try adding durian(since it's in season now)..wow..how does it taste like? Must be good!

It taste like yogurt+ice-cream to me. Very yummy and convenient snacks to prepare ahead! I bet my kids will love it too!

Bon Appetit...

Cheers.

10 minute yummy comfort food

Hi folks!

Often I found myself feeling hungry at wee hours after feeding the baby.

The temptation to reach out for instant noodles 🍜 is always there. But I found when I have ready-cut veggies and plenty of healthier option available..it's often easier to steer away from the not-so-healthy convenience food..

Here's  my yummy macaroni in 10 minutes with mushroom, shredded carrots, kelps, a protein-based soy dumpling and pinch of sea salt...yummy 😋 warm comfort food is ready within 10 minutes while I put away the laundry and clean the dishes...multi-tasking mode...

Now time to savour the fruit of my 10 minutes labor. .Bon appetit!

Have a good weekend folks!

Exploring

hi folks!

Weekend is a time to unwind, recharge and explore new things with my family and friends...

Exploring wonders of nature with ZS is a totally new lovely experience to me altogether...

The thrills, the amazement, the excitement, the joy....amazing moments..

Hope you all too having momazing time with your closed ones...

Cheers to a good weekend!  😊

Yummy

Hi folks!

With ZS reaching two this Fri, the amount of milk I managed to pump per session is only around 80ml (just noticed the bottle has some cute markings on it...so the milk state reaches "yummy" level for now, lol).

With him still prefer moms milk over other brands and types of milk, I will have to keep it going till the time he prefers something else which should not be too far away.

He has grown a liking to spicy foo lately, enjoying the tad spicy curry potatoes and dhal and also the kimchi spicy ramen DH cooked last Sun :) which ZS kept saying "yummy" and had 3 helpings..

Cheers to motherhood!

Mother's Day and ZS Milestone

Hi folks!

How is everyone? Life been bit busy and rushy these days..that I feel i am kind of not keeping up to my daily updates/journaling here very well.

How has your Mother's Day been? For me is a normal day...doing some marketing in the morning and DH made us Korean Kimchi Noodles for lunch (it's tad bit spicy but surprisingly ZS said "yummy")..then spent some time in the evening at the playground with the kids..kicking balls, climbing and sweating it out...nice relaxing time...

Now, I would like to take this chance to pen down milestone on ZS at 1 year 11 months (gonna hit 2 very soon!)..thinking to bake him an eggless cake with my new kitchen toy (Philips Pressure cooker)...*keep finger crossedP

- Initiated his toilet-training two months ago (by taking out his diapers and pointing to the toilet bowl, indicating he wants to pee/poo. At one time he actually called me few times saying he wants to poo poo when this mommy is so tired and zzz-ing off on the bed. Very proud of him but very embarassed that this mommy seems more laid off...not keeping up to his progress very well..

- Full of music, sings all the time (this testify that listening to music while being pregnant matters as it only happens to KY and ZS where i do listen to music often, but not to SE whereby i am busier out and about doing projects outside of office).

- Can eat on his own with spoon, fork and even chopstick

- Loves going out (we now ensure he is on his car seat when we're on road trip

- Loves to eat bananas, strawberries, and varieties of fruits 

- Loves his gor gor and jie jie very much, will always take one more portion of anything he has to pass to his older siblings; be it biscuits, buns, etc

- Is very protective of his older siblings and his stuff (I noticed this when other children at the playground trying to play with his older siblings scooter/ball; he would go over to take it back)

- Still on mom's milk (tried giving him quinoa milk, rice milk, millet milk, oatmilk, almond milk, soymilk....ALL got rejected)

- Allergic to eggs and dairy and antibiotics

- Admitted twice in hospital (once at 5mths+ - phelgm in the lung, whooping cough; another time when he's 10 months old - broncho-pneumonia) before his 2 year old birthday

May ZS grow happy and healthy and away from the need of taking any med!

Cheers!
