Hospital: Prince Court Medical Center (PCMC)

Image
I was torn between Ampang Putri Specialist and PCMC for my first childbirth. I wanted a Selangorian baby but the fact that PCMC is a 5 star hospital is hard to ignore. It is not everyday you get to stay in an elegant hospital room with special attention from the nurses. So my baby will be a KLian after all. My doctor is Dr Seri, a very friendly lady. The maternity department is on the 6th floor - I had my monthly pregnancy check up here. Me and Hasben's on the go breakfast at Tarik Cafe View from the main lift The lobby I checked-in to PCMC at 11.30PM on 8th Oct 2011. Sofa bed for papa bear, hospital bed for mama bear, trolley bed for baby bear... =p The toilet & bathroom... After giving birth to Baby Kimi, I slept the whole day due to the pain killer I took before labor. So the first day, I was not able to enjoy the hospital food. However, on the 2nd day, I ordered from the menu whatever my appetite desired - This was met with naggings from Mak and MIL. "Orang dala

Me & Crochet!

Image
Learn New Things Everyday! I have always wanted to try crochetting ever since my uni days. It seemed so hard when I look it up the internet - pictures and wordings can be so confusing. The urge came again as I waited for my due date. I tried a new approach - learning from youtube! I can follow exactly the teachers in the videos, pause when they are moving too fast and rewind when I am completely lost! Learning from Youtube! I bought 4 not so expensive yarns (let's not be too ambitious!) from Ampang Park and a crochet hook. Doing my first chain stitch! The week before, I had purchased online a set of hooks but knowing how impatient I can be to wait for the postman, I bought the crochet hook so I can start my project ASAP! They arrived a bit too late - project already begin! Initially, I planned to make a baby blanket. Double crocheting the first blue stripe...   Add a yellow stripe...  Is getting impatient - too many DCs~! At last, doing sooo many double crochets was

Restaurant: Hometown Yong Tow Foo

Date : 4 October 2011 Mak was admitted into Ampang Putri Hospital due to a frozen shoulder. She had really bad aches on her right hand. The day before her surgery, Dad and me accompanied her for lunch at Hometown Yong Tow Foo. Ampang Putri Hospital - Building in blue, pink, white... Located right across the street from Ampang Putri, Home Town Yong Tow Foo as its name suggests, is famous for its yong tow foo. The menu lets you choose to have the foods fried or boiled in soup - it's your choice! A taste of Chinese cuisine! We had both fried and boiled yong tow foo, together with rice and crunchy chicken wings. Dip in their special sauce - yummy!!! Business hour... Contact details on its wet tissues. Mak was delighted to eat something other than hospital food - especially fried, oily ones?? Ooops! [ ^ u ^ ]Y

Hotel: The Ascott, KL

Image
Date:  5 October 2011  After our dinner date at  Ben's , JulieZac and I went back to her posh lodging,  The Ascott , a walking distance from KLCC - across the street from Mandarin Oriental (still hoping to spend a night here one day)...  *wink wink* Us, still full from the yummy desserts at Ben's! This is a really posh apartment - a kitchen, 2 bedrooms with 1 bathroom  each ! We chit chatted after I settled down from inspecting every corner... Hihi! Cute kitchen...  JulieZac's room - The master bedroom.  MY room... yup, I got my very own room!!  The living room... The toilets were surprisingly provided without washing pipes, so manual water collection using glass is required   ( - _ - ) " One of the best hotel toiletries I've ever seen - L'Occitane!! The  Kiblat  sign is not on the ceiling but in the drawer near the save of the master bedroom. It is hard to find without asking the staff. Breakfast was... Hmmm...  2/5 : Low rating because of the limit

Restaurant: Ben's at KLCC

Last Dinner Date As A Non-Mommy With JuliZac~ Date: 5 October 2011 Again JulieZac travelled to KL for a work thingy. My family, JulieZac and I watched The Smurfs at KLCC. I bid the family goodbye as tonight, me and JulieZac were planning to spend some alone time~ Haha! The Menu... What to choose? Hmm~  We had dinner at Ben's, KLCC. Both of us was not so hungry. JulieZac heard that Ben's had superb desserts so we ordered french fries, and 2 cakes - Ben's special chocolate cake or something & Cheese cake sundae blah blah (I can't remember the names!) They were really awesome but I think each dish was meant for 2. I was struggling to finish my Blah-blah sundae ! The prices were okay - average. The atmosphere was a bit mamak like. It was noisy - we had to kind of shout to hear each other across the table. Not a place to spill your heart out... However, the setting was nice. Dark with yellow lighting - gives the feeling of poshness. Is planning to din

Movie: Johnny English Reborn

Image
Date: 27 September 2011 Googled~ I am not so sure if I have watched the first Johnny English but this second one is, hmmm... okay... Julie Zac and I spent a BFF day out as 'non-mommies' - actually, my last moment without momzy responsibilities. There were many laughable scenes, thanks to the not so sharp but very confident British spy, Mr English. Johnny English was framed for being the 3rd member of Vortex, a group plotting the murder of the Chinese Prime Minister. With the help oh his young side-kick, he had to clear his name and save the Prime Minister. Rowan Atkinson may be getting older, but his sense of humor is still very much the same - exactly like his Mr Beans siries days. Although I am not a fan of silly comedies, it was watchable for me. Johnny English versus Sweet Old Chinese Assassin Lady = Priceless!! Sweetest assassin ever! Rating: 6/10! Side story: Dinner at: The Appartment For dinner, Julie Zac brought me to The Apartment in KLCC for an earl

Babymoon and Photo Madness! Date: 17 August 2011 Babymoon is a new word for me. We very often hear "honeymoon", but "babymoon"?? It is basically a romantic getaway for future mommy and daddy to spend some alone time before the birth of their baby. A simple way to put it: Honeymooning with a big pregnant belly! It takes a lot of effort to plan for a babymoon. Couples are usually busy with work, mommies are so restless with their hormonial changes, and let's face it, the honeymooning FIRE is basically somewhere in a distant memory... Hihi... After many failed attempts, me and Hasben decided to name our Shah Alam training trip at Concorde Hotel as our babymoon - work not neglected, plus free accomodation! I know what you're thinking, cheapskates!! Our Shah Alam tour included a few places where we can take some pregnancy photoshoots (I am still wandering how I was influenced into this new tradition). Like others who pay professional photographers to s
