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.

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

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….

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*

“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.

We try to make the boys take off their pants, go into bathroom together, squad down and brush their teeth. We just let them brush their teeth without toothpaste ((although non-flouride) as we afraid they will swallow it. Although they can spit out very well now, we still let them guggle only with drinking water just in case they swallow or drink it back. Wonder at what age you let your kids use the real children’s toothpaste (like First Teeth, Pureen, Kodomo and such)?
Between the 2 boys, Korkor turns out to be the more “obedient” one. You can easily label this boy as “A Child Any Mum Would Love to Have” but I am worried he will be more timid in future.
For instant, yesterday they were making noise asking Kakak to make milk, and after making, they refuse to drink. No way I am gonna let them waste their expensive Pediasure, so I held a cloth hanger up high (no rotan at home, and the long ruler is downstairs), threatened them I’ll beat them.
Korkor sit down immediately and said (in Mandarin), “Mama, Korkor drink ah…korkor drink ah” (and he sip the whole half cup within less than a minute.
So what happened to Didi? I flung the hanger (gently tapping twice) at his cloth diaper since he refuse to obey me. Upon seeing so, Korkor shivers and sip even harder on the straw, LOL!!!!
So in the end, you think Didi obey me? Nah…usually this will not work on him. Instead he slammed himself down the mattress and CRY!!!
I forsee that this little boy of mine will be difficult to manage in the coming years. But I like his tough, stubborn and very strong will character, and he is likely to be the more “outstanding one” among my 3 kids.

Tags: photography with sony, sony alpha nex, Sony interchangeable lens camera, Sony NEX5 camera
Again, I fought for my independent days during the weekend to attend the Sony Alpha NEX Workshop in Federal KL organised by Sony. Its FREE anyway, so I don’t see any reason I should skip it After all, I have spent so much for a small little camera and I think it would be stupid to skip something which I would love to attend so much. But then, someone again is not very happy at home (and you might be able to guess what’s happening at home by now, which I won’t bother to elaborate anymore this time).
Important notes of photography I have learnt:
Composition Guide of A Picture:
- Rule of Third
- Median/Triangle
- Reflection
- Leading Line
- Silhouette
Important Elements in a Good Picture
- Texture
- Light / Contrast
- Color
- Shapes
- Emotion
Day 1: Pictures taken by Edward (my brother)
Old Red Trishaw by the Pool at Federal Hotel, KL (Entry Category: Shapes)
Day Pub at Federal Hotel (Entry Category: Color of Reflection)
Antique Wardrobe at Federal Hotel (Entry Category: Color)
After some briefing on camera functions, and simple photography guides, we were given an hour to go out to capture some shots for contest. As he was holding my camera for the first week after I bought it, so I let him capture the contest shots, hopping that he might win something for me. Unfortunately, he did not get anything at each category. The gifts were nothing that great anyway !*consoling myself*
Day 2: Pictures taken by ME
Floors of Low Yat (Entry Category: Shapes) - my Winning Submission!!
I finally brave myself to take charge of my camera and try my best to do what I can with it. Hey!! I won the first category among more than 30 participants in there. Ahem…not bad for some first timer hor….???
Red Chocolate Bouquet (Entry Category: Colors)
-nah…Wesley (our trainer) said it is good, but the other girl won this category of Best of the Colors with her candy shot.
QQ with her Marshmellow (Entry Category: Emotion) MY ANOTHER Winning Submission!!
See the benefits of bringing along a little model? Ya…I had to bring her for some reason, as she was disturbing her brothers on the previous day, so I though by bringing her, it would spare our “black face man” at home some trouble and complain (Nah…he did not complain, he prefers to stay BLACK for the past 2 days instead).
And I managed to win 2 out of 3 category, LOL!!!!
Reason of winning was not because my shot is good. As it was just too hard for beginners like us to steal the expression from the public, as many turned away when they see our camera.
On going seminar (taken in the low light condition using the Twilight Function)
So, I won 2 out of 3 Category for the contest, and I got myself a Cassette Walkman and a set of mini speaker. Nothing to show off, as the prizes were way too low below my expectation (I wanted something like u know extra battery, lens, camera bag and such!)
One of My Prizes is this little Pink Portable Sony Speaker
Anyhow, it was really a good exposure to some yellow face SI-LAI like me who has just started PHOTOGRAPHY!

Didi rocking Korkor and vice versa (very automatically once he see the other one is being stirred during sleep)
My boys are growing so quickly (although their mother complains so much about them daily). Thank God I have my mind occupied with Mama Patch so it kinda draw my focus and energy fully on their madness at home.
Unlike the other 2, Korkor is very easy to teach. He is the kind of kid that most teachers will love to have. He obediently follow all dance steps during singing time at playgroup, he will read after me loudly, on a book easily from first to last page, he turns BLUE immediately, run forward and obeys my words whenever I turn into a *BIG MONSTER* (while the other 2 just give me a blank stare, and then continue doing, as if I am transparent!)
Both the twins are very different, in character and also taste for food too. Recently hubby bought durians back and Didi will chase after us for Durian, while Korkor will just sit beside to look at us eating, but dislike the taste of it.
The boys talks and sing very well at this age. Its really fun to see them growing up at home (as long as they do not fight or disturb me when I am busy).

Another backdated post
YAY!!…Finally my boys are old enough to play a train set!!
I have been wanting to get a nice train set for them and it seems like I am the one who wants it more than them. After doing some comparison among all the wooden train sets available here, I finally decided to get a simple Battery Power Sir Topham Hatt Thomas and Friends Wooden Series from online shop here (who owns Choo-choo Train outlets) for their 2nd birthday.
Sir Topham Hatt Stop
It is indeed very pricey comparing to the Ikea Wooden Set (only Rm59) or the Tesco one (which is no longer available anymore).
just love to look at little hands pushing the train
The boys love their train tremendously but also constantly fighting for it. In addition to the battery operated Thomas train, I even bought extra wooden trains for each of them (or so Mummy can also play as well?) *grin*
wooden engine from left: James (QQ’s), Edward (Didi’s), Billy (Korkor’s), Thomas (shared)
Even the tiny extra engines that create a BIG HOLE to my pocket. How I wish to add more tracks to the current one track is too short to accomodate so many trains that we have now.
Our basic track. Can you see that our railway is situated right in the Jurasic Park?
Boys were building some wooden block tunnels for their train.
My wish list to expand our current collection are: Wacky Track, Bumpy Track, Bridges or probably another complete wooden set

I have known Jackie (another SAHM since 2 years back) for some time but we had not had a chance to sit down and really chat. This morning she she baked these little puffs and and I went to her place for nice breakfast. The puffs taste really yummy and Jackie even let me “tapau the rest” back for my kids! Will surely try making this one day as they are very easy to make too (will put that in another post later, as this post is not about the puffs anyway).
Challenging days at home, being a SAHM
We chat about the kids (she has a pair of twins too, but the girls are already in their teen), we talked about education and school (where she shared how she got actively involved in PIBG, hoping to change fate of the kids in Chinese School but unfortunately its not like what she thought, how a mum actually went there daily to wash the toilet for the sake of her schooling kid, and how the pressure system grabbed away her girl’s cheerfulness and she eventually put them into Kebangsaan school instead). We also talked about the kids at home, and she shared about the twins character, how different they are, how they fight, and such. I see the similarity of characters in my twins behaviour in her grown up twins too so I can foresee how my future road will be with mykids.
Oh yes, we talked about hubby too, and I was so relief to hear that we share the same fate too (having the exactly same “species” hubby who are so homely and will not just leave their kids to have honeymoon with their wife, weird eh??)
Although very homely, our men is not willing to take charge or help with the kids while being at home, but will just sit aside to watch or sleep in front of the TV and be happy as long as all the children are in the same roof, with the wife taking charge like a mad woman, yelling madly behind chasing after the kids.
Well, hubby used to say that I’ll be able to go anywhere I want once the kids grown up, but according to Jackie, “Nah..very unlikely” because her girls are already in teens, and yet the husband still prefers the mother to be with the children all time. I think it’s because men like these hardly goes out with their friends, so they think socialize is not really needed and they prefer their women not leave their children behind either. Too bad they married the wrong women, as we are born WILD, frequently screaming deep inside despite being caged at home. LOL!!!
Funny that these men thinks that it is always ONE BIG HAPPY FAMILY as long as they are together ALL TIME!!! Anyone has hubby like that too out there?
Although it was just a short sharing over a cup of coffee, its feels really good to know that at least I am not alone, in this crazy part of the world, being so stuck at home with the kids, and having to stay so far away from friends. Thanks Jackie and thanks a lot to your YUMMY puffs too!

Tags: I-City, Shah Alam
Have read so much about this place and finally we had a chance to visit I-City at Shah Alam.
It wasn’t a planned trip as initially I wanted to go to Mid Valley to buy my camera (will write about it in details how we ended here instead in next post).
Among all the colorful lights there, the white area is our favourite spot. How silly we forgot to shoot the whole area.
Some of the pink trees there.
My favourite shoot too (if only Kakak wasn’t standing there!)
Overall, there isn’t really much to see there, except some lights here and there. However if you have not been there, it may worth travelling there once as entrance to the area is free except RM10 parking in the building which you can redeem on any of the F&B outlets.
It is also a great place for photography as I saw many people with Super Big Cameras (heard there is a photography competition going on). Too bad we only have one small Sony NEX which I have just bought earlier and brother was testing this camera with the available 20% battery only. He regretted so much that he did not bring his DSLR, hahaha!!

When I was a student myself, I was pretty relax with my study. Tomorrow exam, tonight study. If no electricity, then go sleep (in peace some more). Just wake up earlier next morning. That’s me. No wonder my mum was so tense and grow old so quickly.
When I was in Uni, I see similar study trend among all peers from Kebangsaan primary school. We behave totally different compare to our friends with Chinese primary school background. Despite all the laziness and “tidak-apa” attitude, still, there is not much difference in the examination results. I gather that study SMART counts, not study HARD. Or I am just pretty lucky?
And now I am a mother, and I shall enroll my kids into Primary Chinese School. If it is not for the Chinese language that I want them to master, I would not send them there. I know, it’s like a DEEP DEEP HELL for little kids to be in there for 6 crazy long years!
As QQ has been attending a “relaxing” preschool, I am getting very tense with her weakness now. I totally cannot imagine how she is going to cope when she gets into Primary School in another 6 months time. All peers her age can already master Suku-kata and Ejaan in BM, simple English Reading, and Simple Chinese. Even my mother (still a primary teacher) found that she is a bit lack behind….*SOB..SOB*
Am I being too relax on her? I can’t help but blaming myself a lot. For giving too much freedom to play at home, from morning till night. Unlike other mothers, I do not follow strict time table for revision, not much books to revise. I did not perform my duty as what a SAHM should do. Aiyo…only 6 yrs old ler, wanna kill them meh??
It’s just another 6 months and we are as if going to hell (read my next post). I am getting tense now and started working on something recently. Wonder if most mothers out there with kids going to Std 1 are feeling the same like I do….. :’-(

ALL TIME MAN!!
If I have got a weak heart, I’ll probably die of heart attack already by now. It’s the boys. They are frequently chasing, running here and there, falling and knocking on almost everywhere. If not on sharp corners, they will just fall flat on the hard floor tiles. And each time, its either head, nose or mouth directly down.
3 days back, Korkor fell on mouth and his teeth cut his lips. He felt so swollen on his bleeding lips that he was pressing a blanky to his mouth. Luckily it happened at night so he fell asleep soon.
A day after that, my clumsy Korkor he fell from sofa and hit the hard floor directly again and now he has a big swell on his forehead.
And last night, it was Didi’s turn. Both the boys were running around the living hall, pushing their little Ikea stools. Somehow, Didi tripped over and again, went down directly on his mouth and a big piece of his lips skin came out, hanging 1cm long on his upper lips!!
He was bleeding and crying so hard, and kept on licking on the hanging skin We don’t know what to do, and since bleeding stop soon, I quickly put him to sleep. Then hubby and I decided to use a pair of scissors to snip it off otherwise it would be painful if he keeps on pulling the skin the next morning….eee….very geli u know!
Luckily they did not cut into any sharp corners of the tiles on our uneven flooring (@!@&$# stupid lousy workmanship of the house!). Because of the danger, my neighbour even change the whole house to wooden flooring as once their son fell and cut his chin very badly until he required many stitches.
Sigh…..It is so tiring having to live in fear all day long with the kids at home as accident with kids at such age is so common

Sounds similar over at your place too?
Helping Mummy to rock his other half to sleep
At only age 2, can you believe that my twin boys now fight over little their sleeping territory now? They are put to sleep side by side, but when one move over to another’s territory, the other one will protest and start to cry. They even fight over a bolster a moment ago which I walled between them in case they kick each other in the middle of the night (they still do, anyway with the bolster nowhere to be seen by morning).
Well, I remember this only happened to me and my sister when we were around teenage years, sharing on a queen size bed.
In another incident this evening, both boys were dancing and jumping on bed. Then they both proudly asked Kakak to look at them. Out of sudden, both lost their control and accidentally banged each other on head. So mad with each other, Korkor said sternly to Kakak in mandarin, “Kakak, kan Korkor tiao wu, pu yao kan Didi” (look at Korkor dance, don’t look at Didi) while Didi said the same thing to Kakak too!
Boy, argument starts at only age of 2! Although much smaller in size and lighter in weight, my 2 Bumbo Boys definitely have grown up a lot, thanks to tones of prenatal vitamins that was prescribed during my pregnancy.
