Peter Pan


Peter Pan The Musical is in town. Timothy was so hyped up about it for the past whole week. After watching it. Yes, Timothy & I were wowed by the musical now showing in Istana Budaya, KL. *thumbs up*

My mum purposely came down from Sungai Petani for this and my eldest sister, Soo Nie brought her 2 kids along as well.

A lot of people think that Peter Pan is a story for kids. True, but the stage version was quite an epic version of the story and one that adults love as well. It appeals to both children and adults. A spectacular cast and production. The stunning flying effects were amazing!

Since it's a musical for kids so it was always entertaining. Never a dull moment and Timothy was thrilled when he saw Peter Pan flying. Captain Hook was also one of his favourite character.

The best part was when Peter Pan came flying above us and sprinkled colourful sparkling fairy dust. For the finale, the whole auditorium were covered with bubbles. Magnificient!! Timothy was so impressed.

In the midst of the musical:-

Timothy: "Mummy!! Peter Pan is a real boy?? Why can he fly??? I want the fairy dust!"

Mummy: "He can't fly. There are 2 tiny thin ropes hanging on his back. Look carefully." *pointing*

Timothy: *pause and looking hard* "YA......I CAN SEE...I CAN SEE! THERE...THERE! HE IS JUST PRETENDING TO FLY." *shouting and gigling excitedly*

Mummy: "Shhh...shhhhhhh. Not so loud, darling." *embarass* *eyes roll up*

My five year old truly amazes me sometimes. hahaha.



Thanks to a friend of mine who made this musical possible for this photo opportunity with the character Peter Pan, Ryutaro Yanagita.

Breast Cancer Awareness Campaign Gala Dinner


This year, Estee Lauder Companies' Breast Cancer Awareness Charity Gala Dinner was held last week at the Grand Ballroom, Hilton KL. I supported and contributed on the campaign by sponsoring a table for 10 at the dinner event.

To fill up the table, I invited my mum, sis and a few friends to join me. It was definitely a gals nite out for a good cause. Highlights of the nite were performances from Jaclyn Victor, Vince Chong and Fashion shows from 5 top Malaysian designers. Dinner was a 4-course western set and attractive door gifts for everyone.

Proceeds for that nite were channelled to support the Breast Cancer Welfare Association (BCWA) and go towards providing free or subsidised mammogram screening through the College of Radiology Malaysia and the National Cancer Society of Malaysia (NCSM).

Cameron Highlands

'Way Foong' Bungalow.

The last time I went to Cameron Highlands was exactly 7 years ago. When hubby and I were in our courting days. *smile*

Last week, we decided to spend a 3 days 2 nites stay as it's also Timothy 1st trip. Since the new road from Simpang Pulai has been opened, it was not as windy as the old road before. So the journey up was quite alrite. Luckily, Timothy & I didn't experienced any major car sickness.

Located high up in Tanah Rata, we stayed at an old lil colonial bungalow owned by HSBC. My brother in-law, Nick is attached to the bank. Therefore, we're able to have this opportunity.

The bungalow is called The 'Way Foong.' A 1930's one storey building that consists of 3 bedrooms with attached bathrooms, a living room with a fire place, a dining room, a kitchen and a lil beautiful garden at the back. It's manage by caretakers, a lovely old couple. Not only do they keep the place prim and proper but both are excellent cooks as well. They can cook up a storm. From breakfast, lunch, tea and dinner.

I had such a relaxing time. Reading. Playing card games. Going for walks with my son. 'Makan makan.' Drinking good wines. And just spending quality time with my family.


Breathtaking view of the tea plantation.

Sheena & Raja's Wedding

The Beautiful Bride & Groom, Sheena & Raja.

I was very looking forward to this wedding dinner of beautiful couple, Sheena & Raja. It was held in Saloma Theater & Bistro, KL. What a grand wedding it was!

As you can see, I showed up for the occasion in a saree. I've always wanted to own one but never got to it. I set my eyes on this beautiful green soft material with gold trimming. Specially custom made a 'choli' to fit the whole ensemble.

Well, I can tell you this for sure, it's definitely not an easy peasy task wearing a saree. The intricate wrapping. Folding. Not as easy as it looks. Going to the toilet was also a bit of problem for me. Errr..... I sort of had a lil trouble la. hahaha. As always, for vanity sake I totally didn't mind the hassle and inconvenience. Typical me lor!!!

But anyway, I think it was well worth the trouble as I felt like a million bucks in it. Hubby also complimented me and said he got an indian wife for the nite. *wink wink*

Happy Birthday, Mark!

Birthday Cake.

My hubby's best buddy, Mark celebrated his birthday yesterday. Hubby organised a lil dinner in King Crab Restaurant, Taman Megah ( one of my many favourite dining place) and invited a few of their close friends.

We had a feast. The crabs were finger licking good. But my favourite is still the boiled prawns. So tasty and delicious. I can simply eat the whole dozen myself. Geez!!! I've been eating a lot of prawns and rich food lately. My cholesterol level must be sky rocketting high. Cialat! hehehe. Too terrified to go check and find out la.

Anyway, what a fun simple nite we had!!! May your birthday wish comes true, Mark. Cheers.
