Universal Studios Singapore

Posted on Mar 18, 2010 under good stuff, me, travel | 14 Comments

I am so happy to read about the opening of Universal Studios in Resort World, Sentosa Island, Singapore.   It’s a magical fun place with thrilling rides and incredible movie-based rides like Jaws, King Kong and more.  This is where the magic of movies come to live.  Many years ago, hubs and I visited the Universal Studios in Orlando, Florida and we had the best time of our lives.  I can’t believe there is a Universal Studio so close to home.  I don’t know when we are going but we definitely will!  There are so many places I want to visit…..helpppppppppppp!

our weekend

Posted on Mar 15, 2010 under ashley, family, good stuff | 25 Comments

It was a pretty hectic weekend for us.  Since it’s the school holiday this week, hubs decided to bring Ashley up to the hills to pick strawberries on Saturday. On Sunday, we were out of town the whole day.  Phew…luckily I took today off to recuperate ;)   Ok…back to the Strawberry Farm.  It is located in Gohtong Jaya.  We reached there at around 11am and there were many tourists that day.

This is how the strawberries are grown here….in a concept farm with fiberglass exterior shutters. Very different from the pick-your-own strawberry farms I’ve been to in Toronto.  Over there, we had to squat or bend our back to pick them from the ground.  Very back-breaking but the weather was cooling.  At the Genting Strawberry Leisure Farm, the strawberries are cultivated in contained planters.  Pretty easy to pick / cut them but not very easy to move around the farm because the walkways are quite narrow.

It cost RM8 per 100 gms.  Pretty expensive huh?

That’s how many we managed to pick.  Couldn’t wait to get out because it was so hot in there.

A visit to a strawberry farm won’t be complete without some strawberry ice-cream and strawberry milkshake ;)

Mmm….nothing like enjoying a cup of ice-cream on a strawberry-shaped table and stool

Quickly moving away because she didn’t want to share her ice-cream with us *roll eyes*

Stay tuned for more updates on where we went next ;)

Great Investment Potential

Posted on Feb 11, 2010 under family, finance, good stuff | No Comment

Chinese New Year is just a few days away.  Ashley will be collecting quite a number of ‘angpows’ (customary red envelopes or red packets filled with money that are given out by married couples or elderly to unmarried family members or friends).  Normally I would deposit the money into her bank account.    However, this time, I am thinking of investing some of the money into gold coins or bullions.  Recently I got to know that there are two different types of gold exchanged traded fund in the market.  One is ETF feeder fund investing in an overseas gold fun and the other is an ETF directly investing in gold buillion in the local market.  Gold coins or bullions have great investment potential.  It is one of the safest way to protect the family’s wealth.  The world’s most popular modern coin is the American Eagle Gold Coins and the best place to buy them is from The United States Gold Bureau.  So, if you think now is the right time to buy gold bullion, do check them out today.

angpows everywhere

I have just finished getting ready all the angpows for the new year.  What about you?  One of the things that I look forward to every year is to see what are the new designs on the angpow packages.  I like to collect them and here’s what I got this year.

Posted on Feb 08, 2010 under good stuff, home | 15 Comments

Yesterday morning, I received 3 boxes of C2 – Cool & Clean Green Tea drinks.  Initially, I thought I would receive 3 small boxes of them but was so surprised to see 3 big boxes of drinks.

C2 – Cool & Clean Green Tea is a 100% Natural Green Tea which is brewed and package on the same day. It comes in 3 great flavours – Apple, Lemon and Forest Fruit and packed in very convenient resealable PET bottle that can be ’sip and seal’ and ‘drink on the go’.

The lil missy was very excited to see the drinks and wanted me to snap a photo of her with the drinks

Did you know that amongst all tea, Green Tea has the least caffeine and it contains the highest amount of health benefits?  Green Tea is a powerful antioxidant which can reduce the risk of stroke, heart failure, cancer and diabets.  Those who have Rheumatoid Arthritis, Cholesterol, Infection Impaired Immune Function and need a Detox ought to drink Green Tea.

What I like about C2 – Cool and Clean Green Tea is that it is not too sweet.  It is best to chill them before drinking.  C2 – Cool and Clean Green Tea is definitely a healthier alternative to carbonated drinks.   Which flavor is my favourite?  Well I have to say that I like all 3 of them :D

If you would like to try this refreshing drink, just head over to  7-11, Mydin, Giant, Jusco or other shops near you.

something sweet & sour

Posted on Oct 16, 2009 under family, food, good stuff | 18 Comments

2 days ago, my MIL came back from the market carrying a few bags of stuff. I was surprised to see so many things and asked her what she bought. She said, “I’m going to cook Pork Leg Vinegar today” :D   Ahhhh….brings back lots of memories of my confinement.    Just to let you know, my MIL is a great cook.  She may not know where to get furnace filters but when it comes to cooking, she’s a pro. Cooking is what she loves to do best and we are never short of good food when she’s around.  When we were in Canada, she made kaya, lor mai kai, pan mee…etc.  Here is what I have been eating for 2 days.
