I read that Broga is most famous for their Grilled Fish. Although there are many many restaurants around the town, this particular one is most difficult to find.
We actually went up to Sek Na Tuk 3 times to and fro, but we just cannot find this place until later then (good we did not give up earlier). Situated down the dangerous slope down the road on the left of Sek Na Tuk Temple ,you won’t believe that there is one so famous restaurant is situated in there.
To reach the restaurant, you actually have to drive in the narrow road on the left of the temple. It was scary as the winding road was too narrow for 2 cars, and if you make a miss, you can really fall down into deep into the valley!
Pusat Memancing Ikan Broga
Although situated so deep inside, we are surprise to see that almost each table is occupied. In fact, there are many BIG cars inside.
We are very lucky yesterday as there isn’t huge crowd and long waiting time like weekends (where they park their cars all the way in from the entrance of the pond). Now that I know that such crazy crowd exists, I would not dare or want to drive into this place on weekend!
Place to bakar their fish with charcoal
Salted Grilled Fish
I ordered this for the kids since they cannot take anything spicy. Although it is plain, the grilled fish smells simply aromatic.
Signature Dish - the Chilli Padi Sauce Fish
I love this and the light sauce is just so nice to go with my white rice. But hubby said it was too spicy for him so my maid and I had this for ourselves while hubby shared the kids’ fish ;p
Besides fish, you can also order brinjal and lady fingers (which can be grilled in many way), there is nothing else you can order . I saw each table order at least 3-4 types of fish. How I wish we come in a bigger group so I can try out their Asam / Nyonya / Tomyam / Mushroom / Black Pepper Grilled.
It cost us Rm49 for 2 packs grilled fish, 1 pack grilled lady finger, 3 plates rice and 2 can coke. Not very expensive, and yet it is not cheap either.

Tags: Broga Rabbit Farm, Rabbit Farm, Semenyih Broga
Since our plan to the Sg.Klah Hot Spring was canceled, we might as well utilize our free time to bring the kids somewhere near. Thanks to Kah Hui’s suggestion, we went to the Rabbit Farm at Broga, Semenyih today. Not only it is super cheap, it’s good enough for little kids.
We started off by having some breakfast nearby, and reached Broga, Semenyih before 11am. Luckily the weather is good, so at least its not too hot for such outing. Entrance fee is Rm5/person and kids below 2 enter for free.
We first saw some monkeys tied with chain. We saw some girls playing and feeding with the monkeys too with those free food given to us for feeding rabbit. But they look naughty, so we dare not go near them. How come no picture of the little monkeys? Low battery mah, nothing much special to take. I need to save the battery for rest since we see many wild monkeys often in front of our house.
The ponies are running around wild and they are very friendly. If you are not afraid of them, you can pat them. The horse in the stable can be ride, with a fee of Rm5 only but QQ dare not ride on it.
Instead of the over eaten rabbits, these little lambs were overly friendly as they come chasing after us for food. QQ and Didi was so scared and they cling hard to us.
Only Korkor dare to touch them….
Korkor feeding the lambs with the rabbit food, hahaha…wonder if they will turn into a rabbit by eating those ah?
Most of the rabbits are so old and BIG. It is not easy to get near to them as they run super fast when we get near to them. Finally a little girl got hold of a BIG ONE!
Overall this is a good place for little kids to go, as it is not too big or exhausted to walk around for them. Just enough animals for them to see (there are also beautiful reindeers, tortise and some other animals at the other end which hubby did not wanna go over as there are droppings all over the place)
Besides some rabbits running loose around in a compound, there are many cages of where they keep rabbits too. Not only the rabbits are for play, there is a canteen that sell everything that cooks with rabbit meat. They offer dishes like Satay Rabbit and Dried Rabbit Meat (Rabbit Bak Kua!).
I was wondering if all the rabbits there are being reared for their meat? I cannot imagine how the rabbits are being slaughtered. Is it also throat cutting, blood draining and then throw into the hot scaling water too, like how chicken is slaughtered?
So sorry that such a nice post with have such an ending here. I simply just don’t have the heart to taste such beautiful and sweet creatives like the pictures above after patting them there 
Can you?
next coming up…..our hunt for the Famous Charcoal Grilled Fish at Broga

Tags: Escavator, Mr Potato Head
I received a surprise sms from QQ’s former kindergarten teacher, Mrs Wong a few days back. She mentioned that she have got some fun toys to pass down to my kids. Because we have so much junk at home (and not wanting to pick up the toys everyday for the kids), I politely declined and say no thank you to her.
Mrs Wong again insisted that I should go and take a look at what she has got. So I drove over one morning, and did my FOC green shopping. Guess what, all her toys are AWESOME!!
Mr Potato Head and friends (Playskool Mr. Potato Head Spud Buds) and some Heavy Equipments Trucks
Aren’t they cute? I fell in love the Potato Head immediately and it reminds me of the Toy Story 3 we have just watched very recently. The fun part is, the faces, hats, limbs and shoes can be dismantle so that the kids can mix match the combination by sticking them to the body (I have got a Potato, a Carrot and a Corn!)
There is a very nice Forklift (where it’s fork level can be adjusted) and a Excavator (which can be dismantle and combine with other parts like the tower crane, changing wheels to the chain and so).
As hubby is now attached to heavy equipment related job, we have wanted to find these simple heavy equipment toys for the boys, but they are extremely costly so we did not get any for them. They have enough of their sister’s cooking junk to play, anyway.
Besides these, there is also a good tunnel (to be assembled in a creative way), educational wooden doll, and swimming gears too. Will take picture on those and update here soon.
Aren’t the boys so blessed? Not only the toys benefit the boys, even my big buffalo QQ is fighting over them.
We probably get something that is so valuable without knowing the price of the toys. Thank you so much again, to Mrs Wong for your kindness.

Two days back we celebrated the 7th Chinese Lunar Month (Hungry Ghost Month), by making a small offering outside our house. According to some old people, it is good to do that, to make offering and pray for some peace in our area, especially we have kids at home. We have not done that before, so it was our first time.
Since it was still very bright (at around 7pm), we brought the kids out to see hubby lighting up the candles, putting the incense and burn some paper money. I remember I love doing this at my grandparent’s place (some more can stand outside alone in the dark lighting up all the blown off flame candles), not knowing what the actual meaning was.
At that night around 12.30am, when everyone was asleep, I was still typing here, planning to stay up late to check out some discount coupons for my girl’s school bag, and finish reading posts by my friends blogs. Out of sudden, one of the toy car suddenly came alive and started to **SINGS**.
Feeling something is not right, I began to get angry and warn “IT” to just leave me alone. Few seconds later, I suddenly feel *Goosebumps* all over with a tinge of cold air. Without wasting a second more, I *FLEA* all the way up to my room!
It must be made at me and had followed me up to the room. Hubby sensed something disturbing too and could not sleep well.
After shortly I fell asleep, Korkor started waking up to *SCREAMMMM*. You know, my boys were able to sleep through the whole night after they were weaned from me. With that type of body arching and scream, I knew immediately something is wrong. He kept on saying that he wanted to go downstairs to play, and I was too afraid to bring him (or its not him????), I woke hubby and he took over Korkor.
This happened repeatedly for 5 TIMES that night at the interval of every hour / 2 hour (hubby said that but I did not even dare to check the clock) and hubby had to carry him, open the room door to show him it was dark downstairs, walking around the room until he slowly falls back to sleep.
By morning, Korkor was already so worn out and his face was really pale. I got very worried and then my neighbour asked me to pray again that night to apologise to the wandering spirit and ask my son to come back, WITHOUT BRINGING THE KIDS OUT! Gosh….I totally forgotten that they still see things at this age and their soul must have wandered off with them. Shouldn’t have brought them out earlier, sigh….
I also put a container of 5 slices of garlic + 25 slices of tumerics in my room, as advised by a friend. We slept very well last night, thank GOD!
Similar experience shared by others:
- Kakak reported getting goosebumps all over while ironing shirts last night followed by another toy playing by its own too, then followed by hearing sounds of our wooden door squeaking open at 3pm.
- Elaine shared that her kids were cranky, house door half opened when she was so sure that her maid has closed it before sleep.
- Another friend, CL said one toy that was already low battery suddenly came to life and start moving and singing in the middle of the same particular night too.
Freaky eh!!! Do you experience any similar incident too, especially this month?

How time flies and now the boys are reaching their 26th month. The boys now take their milk from the cup only once a day in the morning. Unlike first baby, I am not very strict with them 0n food, so they get to eat whatever junks we are feeding ourselves.
Oh yes, they seldom get sick now ever since I put them on the magical supplement I shared in earlier post.They still weight very light (compare to kids at their age) although eating very well. I am contented as long as they are healthy and happy.
Last weekend, it was the first time they were given task to wipe the car. Reason was to keep them fussing from wanting to follow their sister who went cycling with her friends. They actually enjoyed the session a lot, each time they wipe off the water drops from the lower level of the car.
Looking up high at a plane which passed by
It is fun taking pictures of my kids now with my new camera. Although the picture quality is still not up to the standard I would like to have (effect from the changgih lens or so), but at least they are very much better than previous. Should put them on some Halloween costumes in future. No regret spending so much just to capture these special moments for us

Funny title for some graduation pictures though!
I wish to dedicate this post to my SIL, a single mother who went through so much to bringing up her 3 girls, by herself. She went through the most difficult moment when her hubby passed away at young age, 3 weeks before she gave birth to her 3rd daughter. I can’t imagine the traumatic moment that she had been through at that stage.
Although her mum was just a few doors away (late MIL helped her to take care of her 3 girls while she was away at work), bringing up 3 girls is surely not easy. I married hubby when her girls are at teenage and saw some struggle episodes she been through. Although all her 3 girls were very obedient, cries, fights over jealousy obviously cannot be avoid at such age. She surely was a very tough woman to go through all those hard and cold years by herself, probably could only cry inside on many occasions, without a ear to listen or a shoulder to cry one.
However those are all passed and now SIL is blessed with 3 grown up girls. So girls, its time to pay back ya!
Her eldest has just finished chambering and will soon become an official lawyer. And now my 2 younger nieces, have just graduated and will soon go into workforce.
Proud SIL with her 3 single handed brought up girls
My QQ is so chubby right?
Our simple photography sessions ended up with all of us gobbling lots of ice-cream before leaving.
Photoshoot was done at Bkt Jalil Park. Although the weather was beautiful that evening, it was very humid and hot too.

Avis approached me many months back, when she read about my frequent rants on facebook on my boys who got sick so frequently early this year. Like many parents out there with multiple kids at home, I freak out each time one of my children gets sick, because not only I will have one cranky baby to nurse, but TWO (same age one some more!). And the worst part is when the virus pass from one to another and then, PASS BACK TO THE FIRST ONE and the cycle continuous……….
I was indeed very hesitate in the beginning to try this product because both hubby and I dislike taking supplement ourselves, what’s more giving them to our kids. Out of desperation (and also Avis’s persistant, *ahem*), I gave in. Won’t die trying one bottle anyway, although I must admit that I am EXTREMELY SHOCK when Avis told me to price (almost Rm180 per bottle for 90 tablets, can u believe it???!!!!)
I din even bother to research and find out more before purchase what’s in there that make it so expensive, but I told hubby, since it is so expensive, it probably won’t be harmful, *grin*. Although hubby wasn’t very happy, but since I have bought and paid for it, he just close one eye (mou ngan tai).
This is the bottle I bought (image taken from the website http://www.transferfactor.com.my/images/Chewables.jpg)
Obvious Effect on my boys
I started giving the boys, one tablet each day but sometimes skip a few days in between (when I forgot about it!). There was a couple incidents where the boys got high fever >39 degree C. Not wanting to take risk and wait for them to be overheated, I still feed them paracetamol syrup. But amazingly they heal completely the next day without prolonged common sickness like running nose or cough (which seems quite unusual for sick kids, especially if their immune system is low).
Seriously I am not sure if it has got to do with the Transfer Factor (cow colustrum and egg yolk extract) tablets, but I can be very assure that this miracle only started ever since I started them on the tablets (remember, that’s not even daily, coz ITS TOO PRICEY!!!)
Although its a MLM product, I can just say as long as it helps, I wouldn’t mind trying it out (I do believe in some MLM products, as I was in Lampe Berger before and I could not live without it now). But always remember, a product might be good and working for someone, it sometimes could not help another, as each and our body is different (so sad that herbalife is working for so many, but it isn’t working for me, although I have been trying for 2 months )
It’s almost time to replenish and get our 2nd bottle, but hubby got even more cautious after seeing the tremendous effect on the kids. Too abnormal and scary result, he said. Sigh….
So, if you are a mom who is constantly worrying about your kids getting sick (with them passing the germs to one another at home, never ending craziness of weeks after weeks ), you might wanna give this a try ! Chin nee does not GUARANTEE ya….

Finally I found the right books to help QQ with her BM!
When a blog buddy, Hanz (who is currently homeschooling her 2 sons) first told me about the teaching of Bahasa Melayu using the e-xra way (eclectic-Express reading approach), I was a bit skeptical because I have asked around many, but none seems to know about the e-xra teaching. But after reading on all the convincing homeschool programs Hanz has lined up and shared in her blog, I decided that I need to get hold of the e-xra speed reading books to find out myself.
QQ’s relatively lower standard
You see, I was really desperate as QQ’s standard is somehow behind all her peers although her school’s standard is already low compare to many advance preschool. From my recent guidance and observation, QQ definitely isn’t low in IQ. It might be due to her LOST FIRST 4 YEARS OF LEARNING, when she lived in the darkness as she can’t see the world with her extremely serious rare high degrees of Hypermetropia, which we only discovered when she goes to school at Age 4. More details about the diagnose of her vision here, here and here.
Since she is going to the Chinese Primary School next year, I want to at least try to build her foundation to master the suku-kata.
How E-xra works from my understanding
Conventional reading:
- “ba” is taught as “bi-e-ba”
- “meng” is taught as “m-e-n-g-meng”
E-xra Reading:
- “ba” is taught as “ba”
- “meng” is taught as “meng”
(no spelling or reaching of alphabet is required, thus recognition of suku-kata becomes very quick each time a new word is introduced)
As you can see there is a lot of Suku-kata revision after each new suku-kata is introduced. Although most of the words in the page does not make sense or having any meaning, the repetition of suku-kata (no matter if it is placed at in front / middle / back of a word) seems to help the kids to recognise the word as a whole immediately.
I bought the e-xra sets directly from their website which consist of:
- Set of 3 reading book (consists of 7 Reading Modules) @ Rm39.90
- Set of 3 activity books (consists of 7 Worksheet Modules) @ Rm35
- 1 CD (7 Modules reading and games) @ Rm35
I just tried it today with QQ and it seems fun when she can read each word so quickly. Hope this could work magic on her to brush up her suku kata as soon as possible.
For Mandarin, its books from Odonata
For English, it is the Peter and Jane Books
For BM, its E-xra!
Thank GOD that we see lights in our dark tunnel now!

Tags: black pepper chicken steak, Chicken Steak, Mahkota Cheras, Susan's Bistro, Susan's Bistro Italian
Of all places I have eaten as of today, Susan’s Bistro at Mahkota Cheras still serve the best chicken chop. It is only a very small shop located in Mahkota Cheras. Although located just about 5 minutes drive away from my place, hubby dislike going there because the road in front of the shop has the worst traffic flow in the whole Sg.Long (we went there once for dinner and hubby eats with a worrying “green face”, walking in and out because he was so worrying that someone might dent his car in the narrow parking outside).
Hence, QQ and I went there to enjoy our lunch today.
Big Serving of Fresh Salad with Sesame Oil and Balsams dressing (Rm5.50). First time trying for me, its YUMMY!!!! Surely will order again on my next visit.
We ordered our favourite Black Pepper Chicken Steak @ Rm16.90. Grilled to perfection! I am actually wondering how come those expensive restaurant like Chili’s or TGIF cannot serve tender and juicy chicken like that? (I think the cook of this restaurant must have graduated from a good Online Schools for cooking for such skill!)
According to my other friends who stay nearby, all dishes in Susan’s is very nice. Another all time favourite is the Carbonara Spagetthi (best I ever tasted but sorry no picture).
Later we order another 9 inch thin crust Chicken Pepperoni Pizza @ Rm18.50 since QQ said half grilled chicken is not enough for her (we both shared the previous order). Their pizza is awesome. Very gooey and cheezy!!
Although I would very much like to try their Tiramisu (which is very highly rated by our local paper sometime back, and also some bloggers), we just have to skip it again this round. The above order is already too much for us. We even have to “tapau” back half of the pizza and now it is still sitting in my kitchen top. *Burrpp*

Tags: Applied Kinesiology, food allergy, Food allergy testing chain, food testing using Applied Kinesiology, iron chain
Also known as Pendulums test for food allergies, metal reactions. Another insane post to many, probably.
Ever since my mum has got the very bad Shingles (or commonly called as Snake Blister) last year, she has been practising this method to test her allergy on food before she eats.
How to test:
- In a no fan/wind area, hold the iron chain above your food with one hand
- Rub the iron chain down with another hand to “energized” straightened it
- Place open up palm (of the person you wanna check his allergy) above food (do not touch)
- If the chain swirl clockwise, the person can take the food
- If the chain swirl anti clockwise, the person should not take that food
*Important: Must test on only the right amount of food you can take. For instant, if you test wanna test if you can drink a cup of coffee, test your palm on one cup and not ONE FULL BOTTLE OF coffee powder. Otherwise it will swirl anti clock wise because you should not take ONE BOTTLE of COFFEE POWDER. However with this testing method, u will still need some skill though (my mum can do better than me).
After I came back from seeing Dr Wong (found out I am allergy to 5 spice powder), I immediately did a test on a Pork Pau (that might contain 5 spice). True enough, it turns anti clockwise!
This morning I test it on Herbalife Tea that I have just started taking about 3 months back and again it is anti clockwise. Looks like I am going to miss out a lot of my favourite food (like Siu Yuk and my favourite Teochew Braised Duck)
Where to get the Food Allergy Testing Chain (Pendulum)
My mum said Allergy Food Testing Chain is available from any organic shop at Rm25. Otherwise a normal iron chain (with certain weight I think) like the one my mom bought can work too. Just try it at home on a food you have allergy to see if it is accurate.
Some reference of the same method I found online:

Tags: allergy, allergy test, Applied Kinesiology, Dr Wong Meng Kiang, mold allergy, mould, sensitive nose allergy, skin allergy
Since we planned to go back to Melaka last weekend to pray to Grandpa (his 100th day), I took the opportunity to down to Tangkak as well to test my skin allergy (have been getting extremely ITCHY little red bumps on my fingers like this..)
Picture downloaded from Google (http://www.skincell.org/community/index.php?topic=24808.msg307884)
Recommended by Elaine, I went to visit Dr Wong (Klinik Specialist Wong) at Tangkak to see how he can test what I am allergy to. Dr Wong does allergy test using the “Applied Kinesiology”.
What is Applied Kinesiology?
This procedure employs testing of muscle strength to assess food sensitivities. It is a way to tune in to the body’s energy system. A food that reacts in the body will generally cause a muscle to go weak. The test is performed either by having the person eat a food and then test the muscle, or they hold a suspected food in their hand, and the test is done. Kinesiology in the hands of a skilled practitioner can be very accurate, fast and inexpensive, bearing in mind that sensitivities can change over time.
(Source: http://www.drlwilson.com/articles/food_intolerance.htm)
How he test:
- Patient will hold test tub (of possible allergens) on HAND A while stretching out HAND B.
- To test on kid, the kid will have to hold the test tub, while parents hold on to the kid and doctor will test on parent’s resistance.
- Doctor Wong will lightly push down HAND B to check if we can resist. If can, meaning patient is allergy to that particular allergen.
- This repeat with many test tubs available there, to test other allergens as well.
- Once allergy is confirmed, he will perform again the same test to test the patient allergy level too
How to cure allergy:
Patient will be given a small bottle of pure saline (with energy transfered from the level allergen tested earlier). Patient have to take just a drop saline once in morning and once before sleep).
My Skin Allergy and QQ’s Nose Allergy
Guess what I am allergy to? It is the 5 spice powder (Em Heong Fun in cantonese). Can’t believe it!!
And seeing so, I had QQ tested as well as she has very bad sinus. And she is allergy to MOULD (and it’s the most difficult to avoid since it is air borne from damp area like bathroom, our aircon).
Can see the little bottle labeled “Clasp-11″? It is the Pure saline drop QQ has to take each morning and night. QQ’s allergy resistant towards Mould (Cladosporium) has been identified at level 11. <”0″ least allergy -”20″ very allergy>
After the saline was physically energized (WAH……pls do not ask me to explain how ok. I know the more I try to explain, I’ll sound more insane.), QQ was immediately given a drop of this saline on her tongue. And I see immediate result as I was able to resist Dr Wong’s push while holding on to QQ.
Putting my small itchy finger matter aside, I put high hope to cure QQ’s sensitive nose.

Everyday schedule is so busy for me. By the end of the say, there is always so many outstanding issues that needed to be attend and seems that the list is getting longer and longer as days go by. We are also suppose to check out the gold investment thing with the United States Gold Bureau in order to make comparison to the gold investment we can do here through Public Bank. I really hope we can decide this as soon as possible before the price goes up even higher. We have missed the opportunity of not investing earlier on and I do not hope to lose out more on the depreciation value of our hard earned money.

- He look for the right note when he sits in front of the piano
- He gets irritated very easily when his siblings disturb him at the piano
- He beats the drum (using stool and spoon) according to music beats
Unlike my other 2 children, Didi definitely has better musical sense. I remember I used to find the key notes on my little wooden toy piano at very young age. Among my siblings, I throw the worst temper over little issues at home. And this youngest boy is just EXACTLY like me until I sometimes shivers in fear, so lost and do not know how to handle him when I see so much me in him! *serve me right now for what I have done to my mother *

“It is not about how smart how a child can be, but more to the attitude and character building from young”
I have always been wanting to send QQ to the Dhamma school at the Buddhist society where I used to conducted Playgroup. But because intake is extremely limited, the school can only accept kids from 7 years onwards.
When Sheryl told me that Di Zi Gui classes for little children are available nearby my place on every Sunday morning (organised by the Amitabha Lian Chi Buddhist Society KL), my friends and I quickly signed up our kids early this year. You can also call it a Buddhist version Sunday Morning school, something like what we have in church. You see, we get volunteers to “train” our children to respect us (parents) for free, books both children and parents also FREE, so how bad can that be right?
My understanding of Di Zi Gui - adapts a lot of the Confucian ideals, filial piety (Chinese: 孝; pinyin: xiào) virtues. Filial Piety is focus a lot in the class, for instant respect for the parents and ancestors. Di Zi Gui is also learn by all Chinese primary school children in their Moral Subject. *paiseh*, (I can’t read Chinese, pls correct me if I am wrong)
Although I cannot read Chinese, I had to attend with QQ anyway (it is a must for parents to be committed to attend and learn as well) when she was accepted early this month since parent attendance is compulsory. Children are divided into classes according to age group. I am really fascinated with the proper class room (nice air con laminated wooden floor with projectors and such) they prepared for the children, not to mention the time and commitment spend by the facilitators for the sake of making our children a better person in life.
As I could not stay to see what the children do in the class, I was told by another parent that they do activities like reading, watching videos of the world, do story telling and role play (that’s what I like!) and such in the class. It is just like a fun interactive workshop for kids!
Where to get the Di Zi Gui Books / CD
You can get the books and CD (cartoon) distributed free by some Buddhist Society. Just check and ask around people from the Buddist Society that you know and they will help you get one (but make sure you only take when you really want it). Otherwise your child will have a copy too (in different printing) when she/he goes to the Standard One Chinese Primary School.

Did you notice that the price of property has been rising up a lot especially in the past few years? Unfortunately not our buying power ya…Our university fresh graduate still get the same level salary as 10 years back. Serious!!!! I wonder if our future generation can really make a good living in future, with their low buying power, especially with everything is already so expensive now.
No doubt property investment yield the most among all the investment. However to afford one is really a big problem for many of us, what’s more buying another for investment. I think that I can only afford to buy gold coins for investment at this moment. Hopefully it will double or triple up quick enough so that I can get enough money to start on property investment.
