In the era of advance technology- Video call- at cheaper rates as compared to a century ago. I just have to get extra data to connect with my husband, who is away from home for study. Subscribed the 3G Maxis Broadband plan 4G peak hours (8am- 2am) and 4G off peak hours (2am-8am) at RM68 per month. The staff at Imago Maxis store literally just asked me to fill up a 6-month contract form, explained on the rebate and where to get the WiFi password, paid the activation fee of RM150 and bye-bye. That time I wasn't sure on what to ask until I started using it (the device is usable after two hours upon activation). After two hours, I connect mobile phone to the device. I find the password given was too tedious. That was the time when I was puzzled where to change them, how to check the quota and etc. There was a small guideline booklet came with the starter pack. But a two-year-old toddler had played and misplaced it before I wanted to have a look for it. Googled it online ...

The famous frog meat delicacy from Geylang, Singapore has arrived in Kota Kinabalu!! The newly opened international chain Geylang Lor9 (wholly owned by Strategy Achievement Sdn Bhd) at Lintas Square (behind Maybank) will definitely make someone to say yes to the “exotic” food and look forward to next visit. Before I reveal the signature delicacies of the restaurant, let me share on why fresh frogs are good for human being especially growing children. According to its managing director Andy Goh, Chinese believes the meat has high protein and low fats. “They feed frog porridge to young kids, especially those who just start to toddle around. “It is like whichever part of body is weak, you eat certain part of frog to strengthen them,” he said during a recent opening of the restaurant. Andy and his partner Soh Cheng Boon realised there were demands on frog meats among people as they traveled to many places including Singapore, Cambodia and other Southeast Asia count...

On the third year of marriage, I still have the bless to experience the romance. It is not because of a lovey-dovey husband, but it is because of our lovely daughter. She is turning 2 end of this month. At this stage, she is acting like a demanding girlfriend who require attention at all the time. I realised about it this romantic life when that tot kept on asking me to kiss her, and hug her from back until she fell asleep last night. I guess she finds those gestures are warm and comfortable as I have been giving her kisses and hugs on daytime.  How to resist the temptation to love her when she is so beautiful, chubby and innocent? Even when it is tiring to spend almost all time for her, it is still worthy. When we go out, I try to put on matching outfit with hers. It is something which husband and I seldom did when we dated each other. It feels good to show off to others we are mother and daughter. Sometimes, husband also follows the color theme. ...

I had culture shock when I visited Kelantan during Ramadhan month recently. Although the state is part of Malaysia, which is comprised of multi-ethnic and diverse background, the consideration for others’ welfare is merely less. Upon reaching the Sultan Ismail Petra airport, I was shocked to see none of the restaurants open during lunchtime. On the way to Kubang Kerian, despites passed by several fast food chain restaurants such as KFC, Pizza Hut and etc, none of them were opened. I also learned that its hypermarkets such as Tesco, Nirvana and Mydin would close one-hour for ALL WORKERS to break the fast simultaneously. It is understandable they close it as most of their workers are muslims. It is just a new thing to me. Our choices are either to cook at home or dine after the people broke their fast. However, before breaking fast, the people thronged to the malls that they became so crowded. I had to queue for almost an hour for cashier. Another concern is th...
