Day Trip to Banting, Jugra, and Jenjarom

By

I couldn’t stand the itch of not traveling during the recent one week school holiday.

By hook or by crook I had to bring the family somewhere. I have a list of “Where to Go” and Banting and Jugra are on the list. So that’s how our Banting road trip started.

I began planning the trip a week before and had a few items lined up.

We wanted to get more people to go but everybody was busy with their own plans.

As a result, only four of us embarked on the day trip.

Let’s go through where we went one by one: [Read more…]

Unlikely Lesson from Easter Egg Hunt

By

Last Sunday, we had an Easter Egg Hunt for kids during our monthly run.

Somehow the organizer was short of eggs, I guess.

Even though a “rule” was already in place – that each child could only get one egg – the shortage still occurred.

It was obvious that a significant number of children did not manage to find even an egg.

It’s easy to tell from the facial expressions of the children who did not find the eggs.

They looked so disappointed and depressed. Some at the brink of crying.

Poor thing. [Read more…]

A Visit to Beris Lake Vineyard, Kedah

By

Beris Vineyard Grapes

Are you kidding? A vineyard here in Malaysia?

That was my reaction when I heard about this. Having a vineyard is not possible in a tropical country like Malaysia – which is hot and humid throughout the year.

But time has changed. We have our very own vineyard in the northern state of Kedah.

It’s not hard to find the place and it’s located next to Beris Lake (Tasik Beris). [Read more…]

How I helped my child overcome fear

Here’s the thing:

1. The venue is just 5 minutes’ drive from my home
2. It’s something I am interested in
3. And most of all, it’s free

I am talking about a parenting talk that came to my neighborhood last weekend.

I wanted to go but there’s a problem.

I don’t want to bring J and K along. Reasons being: they obviously are not interested and they would get bored and make noise.

My wife and I started our “negotiation” with the kids a day before. We didn’t want to take them to the talk. In fact, we could send them to their aunt’s house but she was not free. [Read more…]

What this Bond girl can teach your child about life

By

C’mon guys, what comes to mind when you think of Bond girls?

Sexy, tall, blonde, seductive, smart, splendid figure, beautiful?

Off all, one Bond girl caught my attention lately.

At least not from any recent James Bond’s movies.

In fact, I don’t really know her until I read an article about her.

Once again, not her half-naked picture that caught my attention but what she said and how she lives her life.

Not only about Bond girls, but almost all celebrities live extravaganza lifestyle.

But not for Olga Kurylenko. [Read more…]
