Fun full day on Wednesday

My first time of driving to KL yesterday using waze, I afraid of being lost in the city. No kidding! After sending son to tuition then I decided to move on with my schedule. It's 40min driving and yes it's quite confusing to know how to go here and there as the waze not saying the exact route, it can be right turn but it says left turn according waze map.

Anyway I make it to the mall around 10.15am. It was early and plenty of parking. I go to Aeon bakery to buy bread then a yogurt drink as my breakfast. After that go for a walk in the mall which has more people around like Aeon outlet.

The morning I received message from my dear, asking me to becareful and be alert always when in the mall. I guess he read my post or saw my status on Facebook or my blog post?

After Quill City Mall head back to Subang, yeah traffic jam and get my son from tuition then send him home before continue my journey to The Curve. I didn't park in the Curve as I need to go restroom in a hurry, I parked eCurve. The night with Christmas party #butterflymsia is fun and get to know more butterflies! My first time to eat roasted turkey, had my second round as Grace share her second round with me. :D

After event over then I walk back to eCurve, speed walking for sure as I am alone. When I reached to pay for parking, payment machine is being fixing by two guys. So I go down escalator to pay and saw to lovely butterflies bloggers. Yup they are making their payment too for the parking.

It's terrible jam while on way back as road closure for MRT construction. I reached home almost 11.50pm. Can't thank you enough is being with friends and gifts spoiled by lovely blogger friends. Thank you, you know who you are! :D

The Hobbit Movie Marathon: The Hobbit, The Battle of the Five Armies

My son loves Hobbit movies.

Yesterday, mom and son day's out to TGV Cinemas Sunway Pyramid. We are excited to watch Hobbit 123 together. We headed there 3pm then bring son for meal before rushing to TGV Cinemas. About 4.45pm many people already there waiting. Movie supposed start 5pm til 3am.

Thanks TGV staff for explaining in the hall before the show start on what happened that show can't be on time.

Due to tech problem with Hobbit 1, we get to watch only Hobbit 2 and 3.

Each movie we are given 30minutes of break. So you can go for a bite or sit around to wait, it is up to you. Son and I went out for bite as he's feeling hungry.

The Hobbit, The Battle of the Five Armies

Smaug the dragon is finally defeated.
Thorin VS Azog
Feeling sad, happy, funny, this the movie.
Kili and Tauriel, are they going to be together in the end? You need find your by watched the movie.
The end of Hobbit,
but I feel there's more after this...

The movie is worth to watch, we enjoy watching the movie in IMAX 3D.

The movie is rated PG13.

Time management

Being parent is never easy so when comes to tuition and extra activities. So Eye Level was extra activities for my son but it's going to be stop by next month because son's going to be standard 3 in primary school it's going to be tougher and harder. He's weak in some subjects in school so the time best to focus on tuition on the subjects than extra activities.

I don't want to tire him out. So let go of Eye Level is wise decision as time concern he doesn't have the time for it. Money is one of the concern too, he's little brother going to kindergarten next month.

Better let him step by step rather than all at once, which tired him. Eye Level if he has interest to continue he can do so in future. 

Tuition centers competes each other

I am mommy of two boys, aged 3 yr and 8 yr old. So just to let you know that my eldest is gong for tuition center because he's weak in certain subjects in school.

The day I decided to rest him from the tuition center, there goes the teacher start the group chat on it. Showing off their champions, newspaper cuttings etc. Bravo to the students with As and good grades.

For your info, many tuition center aim to teach children that has good exam results. This is where they find it easy for them to polish them and having them to be a super star or champion in education.

So how about weak students? Are they going to neglect them, lack of attention towards them?

If a student is smart and good in exams results. Why does parents need to let them go for tuition?

Tuition fee is never cheap. Min RM400, max RM650 or even more...

No wonder my friend told me her child's classmate having tuition Mon to Sat. Mon, Wed, Fri another subjects, Tue, Thur and Sat, other subjects, etc.

My son's classmate told me that she has paid RM200 extra a month for tuition center to teach, but result turns out the same/worst. I didn't know that the center accept more money than they suppose to.

No matter what, time is money, if you don't act now?! Who will?

No children is born to be super star or champion.

It will be a challenge for the tuition teacher, to know if they can cope with the child. He maybe weak right now, if you know where's he's weakness/strength. You can always correct them and put them on the right track. Who doesn't like an easy job, so you find a clever kid to teach, by polishing them, there you go.. you find a champion.

Time will prove everything, whether you can do it or not. Accept life is full of challenge. 

Whose on holiday mood?

It's school holiday now, so what's your plan on this few weeks before the school start?

Yesterday I brought my kids to see my toddler kindergarten. Yeah have decided to sign up the kindergarten which located 20min drive from my home. Near my home there are not many choices of kindergarten, though they are a few but they are lack of Mandarin. Not all kindergarten offering the mandarin subject, no kidding there was one kindergarten asking for RM4,300 a term fee saying that their kindergarten is offer just basic Mandarin class. RM4300 a term is way too much, we can't afford it too. Well, I bet there are many expensive kindergarten there and here.

Mandarin is important subject, so I know is important to find good kindergarten for my toddler. The kindergarten has opened for 18years, I didn't know of it. Should have sent my eldest there, if he studied there I bet his foundation of Mandarin will be strong.

Anyway School holiday, waiting for fun kids event for my boys to join.

Free giveaway not 100% free

I love contest and giveaway, recently I the giveaway I joined saw I won a soap but I found out it is not 100% free. There is terms and conditions of it which you still need to pay RM10 for postage.

It is not stated in giveaway post that there is charge on postage.

How do you respond to such giveaway? 

Birthday presents for me

above me and Vera blogger, she too won a bag

A wonderful birthday present and happy event for me, I won coach bag not one but two bags. I gave one for my sister in law who helping me to care kids while I out for events. She deserves it as her birthday too this month. 

I attended the Kotex event, click the link for more info.

 Total of 13 Coach bags to be given the night, if not mistaken... yeah you can see more pics in Kotex FB.

Unexpected that I won instragram contest, yes it me! :D

Yeah so happy receiving another bag of Coach, same goes with Sabby who won 2 bags in the night. 

Opps sorry photo side way, me and lovely Diana Danielle.

Credit to Miriam for helping me snap pic.

A wonderful birthday celebration with blogger friends, the night before we leave, some blogger friends, sang birthday songs to me too... so melting my heart. :D

The night my family never forget me, they have cake for me. 

Check instagram video of Happy Birthday song for me! 

Finance, education and parenting

If you know where I am living you'll know that where I live, the education fee is expensive namely the kindergarten and even tuition fee for primary school.

My sis in law at home town told me to consider of putting my child to home town as the fee is cheaper there and dad in law can be fetching him home. Well, if I want to do that I would have done it long ago since my first child.

I believe kids should be with their parents, they are not old enough to be away from their parents yet. Unless they are going further studies, in Uni or College where you have no choice but seeing them leave or you can move in with them to stay with them. That's what happened to some moms that really gives up everything just to be with their children.

Whether life is good or bad, family can never be apart!

It is huge responsibility to take care of children, education which you need to be there to guide them or check their home works even the bags everyday or pencil box.

Now my 8 years old boy is independent to put the books in bag according to school time table.

Other than PD, my bro live in Mahkota Cheras, his children goes kindergarten there, the fee is not high like Subang.

Being a parent, you'll know that blood is thicker than water.

I can never let my kids be separate from each other, brotherhood, their childhood of growing up together is priceless! 

Reason to give a gift to loved ones?

Do we need a reason to give a gift to loved ones?

Someone ask me why I am giving a gift to other instead of owning it myself.

Whether its special moment for birthday or celebration.

I feel that if we want to give someone a gift, there's no need a reason for it. No need to wait for the special day to give the gift.

So I have a present for my mom in law, it's XES Signature bag. You can find this bag at XES Premium Boutique.

I love this bag, and I love my mom-in-law. Giving what I love for my loved one. :D

Movie review: Annabelle the doll

Yesterday afternoon I head out to Sunway Pyramid, mm.. not sure why so many people queue to purchase tickets around noon time. RM16 a ticket to watch Annabelle!

Sorry to say the movie is not as scary as Conjuring, yeah Conjuring still the best!

They are parts in the movie where college students sat next next me got scare. Boys! I don't know what goes wrong with young people today, they using alot F word in the cinema while watching movie.

The doll does not move it's eyes like Chucky the doll. So yeah compare to Chucky the doll, Chucky sure alot more scary than Annabelle.

In this movie, you will find how a mom struggle to protect her baby. She thought the devil is after her baby, but the priest says that it's not after her baby but her! Baby can't talk, a baby can't offer herself.

How the Annabelle doll got possessed? A drop of blood of the woman who slaughter her parents! The blood goes in the Annabelle's doll's eye... 

Unfriend someone on Facebook

Frankly speaking it is my first time to unfriend someone on Facebook. It started as this person joined a media day out. I don't know who is the person and most of my blogger friend too. Anyway after back then not long a friend message me to ask is there a blogger guy disturb other bloggers. I didn't know what's going on as I didn't see anything wrong, oh well on the day I have to follow my son and events of the day no time to keep an eye on other things.

This week, I find out that it's the blogger that attended the event has posted picture of a female blogger, even though he mention he didn't know who is the blogger but things got worst when he has bad thoughts on the gal. Whatever it is, it is not right to do that. Not sure if the female blogger make any report on this blogger. The pretty blogger dresses nice that day, so what?! Anyone can dress nice or ugly and it's not right the male blogger having unhappy thoughts on the person or fantasy towards her.

Anyway, I have unfriend the blogger of Facebook. I don't know know this male blogger and his updates on his FB's wall just disturb me. A friend even ask me in an event if I have seen this blogger or know him, I don't know him. He says it also freaks him out knowing got such anonymous exists in media day out. 

Not just unfriend but unfollow too, I have better things to do then follow useless updates on my Facebook. The person with lots of negative feeling, most of it so better of the person be in it's own world.

LRT Kelana Jaya to LRT Sri Rampai takes 20 stops

I counted yes, I counted how many stops it takes from LRT Kelana Jaya to LRT Sri Rampai. RM2.50 for the one way ticket, then parking at Kelana Jaya LRT Station RM3. I asked the man that is sitting next the entrance car park the time closed for the station. LRT Station Kelana Jaya closed 12midnight.

While in the train then came two blind men, standing nobody is giving up their seats, a gal next me and myself give our seats to them but next me also have a seating. The blind men took the seats, rest of people that seating was busy with their smart phones. Some people seated just pretend don't see?

By the way I reached LRT Kelana Jaya in the night it was about 11.20pm, the car park is closed. Not many cars left in the parking lot.

It was a long day, in the afternoon I was lost using waze to Menara Bata, it took me rounding the place 45 minutes to finally find the building. Going up the hill slop of housing area then going down the hill slop, you have no idea how narrow it can be the road. So high up that you feel like you are on roater coaster. I driving up I was like shouting...

The night I reached home at 11.45pm, I drank a glass of fresh milk. My bad, I didn't know that fresh milk and seafood can't be in same tummy, night all night long 5 times of diarrhea. It's a long time for me but I manage get rest but still feeling tired today.

Just now my mind was blank don't know what to blog about.

LRT Sri Rampai to Wangsa Walk the walking distance is about 15 minutes. You can see the mall from LRT station but you need to walk and crosses some traffic lights to reach. I didn't have time to walk around the mall.

Busy mom and son

It's going to be school holiday over soon, I can say he is not ready for final exam. I hope he tried his best and I am trying my best to teach him too. He needs time to remember, many words he didn't understand or know how to read.

Anyway it's an happy week for him as well. He gets to go event with me which is suitable for him. His classmate birthday celebration today, but he can't make it as he has to go Eye Level. On top of that, yesterday he had so much fun in Jungle Adventure we left only at 11.15pm from there. We reached home almost 12 midnight then he showered and head to bed and sleep.

The birthday invitation is to go The Gardens, Midvalley. 5pm to 9pm. Only yesterday I receive call from his classmate regarding this.

I haven't pack for tomorrow event to see Ice Age Adventure. I am thankful I can get a room with the complimentary letter that I won. Hopefully everything goes smooth tomorrow, to be able get the Deluxe room in 1st World Hotel.
