For my momma

I owe my momma a belated present. What better gift can a daughter give her mother than a hand sewn quilt! Am I right???

I present to you.........


A "Laura Ashley" inspired King size quilt to keep my momma warm..:) *hugs*


I needed a massage badly after making this quilt! It was so heavy and not easy to quilt since it's so big! My shoulders were aching after completing it.


I'm quite happy with how it turned out. A lot of hardwork but rewarding.


I have a little model for it too! They love playing on the quilt. Ryan n Aidan treats it as their playing mat. haha...


DOn't think I will ever do this design ever again. Too much work and time spent on it but for my momma... ANYTIME!!!!

One of the Top 10 chicken rice in Malaysia!

If you're bringing your kids to Taiping Zoo, do stop by to try this chicken rice! With the help of our little friend Madam GPS, we found Kedai Kopi Kok Beng. It's voted one of the Top 10 chicken rice in Malaysia.




Do come early as the queue can get pretty long!



We ordered a plate of poached chicken, roasted chicken and char siew.



Verdict: I Like the poached chicken more than the roasted. It's not silky smooth like the ones you get back in Ipoh but it is firm and tender. The Char Siew undoubtedly was very yummy. Look at the picture and I shan't say anything more.



Oh... i have to mention bout the chilli sauce!! You can taste it's homemade from fresh chillies, ginger, garlic and limau kasturi!

For Taiping standard, I think it's a little over priced. A plate of chicken rice is priced at RM3 and combination of meats would be RM5.

Location: Kedai Kopi Kok Beng
38, Jalan Kota
34000 Taiping

Opens daily from 11am to 3pm except Monday (Tutup)

I'm Back!


Dear All,

Yes!!! I'm Back!!!! It's been errr.... 1 half years??? Gosh.. SO much have happened! I'm now living in KL, Malaysia... I've given birth to my 2nd boy Aidan who's 10months and Ryan turned into a monster right after his 2nd birthday. hmmm... What else is new?? Oh yeah!! I fell in love with quilting! I'm crazy over it!! Thinking of selling some too.:)

Apart from quilting, Jon n I have decided we will try to discover Malaysia as much as we can since we're now living here. With 2 active boys n a greedy hubby, I will try to find and share with you places to eat and hopefully some great nature escapes.

Yes!! Finally... It's good to be back!
