Gambar Makanan Sahaja, Sungguh!

Guilty as charged, I didn't have much time to put many things I have in my mind now into readable and comprehend-able sentences, type and publish them. But I did have photos ready in my laptop, with some minor editing required.

So, let's salivate!

Note : Menu and price for Malaysia Bubba Gump is here, and I could not find Malaysia's version of Tony Roma's menu. Boleh budget cantik-cantik dan cuba.

Fun Facts : Locavore is a new word formed from two Latin words; locus, "place", and vorare, "to swallow". Found in 2001, this word is defined as "a person who attempts to eat only food grown-locally. (Source 1 and Source 2)

Mini Kaftan

Kalau tahu boleh jadi comel dan sungguh selesa begini, Mommy would have bought 10 for you!

I bought this when I was in Kuala Terengganu, for a short business trip. RM10 per piece, the material is very soft and tak panas. The kaftan was readily slitted at both left and right bottom, berlari, melompat dan tercampak bukan masalah!

Please mind the carca marba hair. Dan maaf, kualiti gambar kurang memuaskan.

Fun Facts : Kaftan is known as boubou, pronounced boo-boo in French and is one of folk costumes in some Africa countries.

Funland and Edutainment

So we've been to Starship Galactica, One Utama, and it's time to check out some new place. I mean, new to us. I think it has been a while since the last time we brought Eirsa for an outdoor session. Honestly, we were trying to avoid many outdoor sessions as it will definitely require us to spend. But since our financial is back in stable mode and Eirsa nowadays showed her signs of boredom of being alone and having to play with the same toys over and over again at home (walaupun mainan baru dibeli seminggu, pitam). Kejap-kejap hendak merengek. Kejap-kejap hendak mengamuk. Lalu Atuk mencadangkan supaya dibawa berjalan cucunya itu.

During Wesak day, we went to Megakidz, Mid Valley Megamall. Arrived there at 10.30am, since the business hour starts at 10.00am and Eirsa will usually have her afternoon nap around 1.00 or 2.00 pm. Besides, I loved it early due to less crowd and ample parking lots. And Eirsa would still be in her fresh and energetic mode.

Instead of being charged RM28 for kids of 2 year old and older, I managed to convince the staff to apply the RM14 for kids-under-2-year-old-rate, for Eirsa. I mean she's only two and the cut off should start from 3 years old instead of 2 years old. And since mommy, untuk kesekian kali nya, forgot to bring her socks, she had to reluctantly pay for RM6 for a pair of socks (kedekut, booo). Socks were to be worn at all time. But yes, I believe for kids under 3 should only be charged with RM14 only. They could not enjoy all the facilities as they most of the play areas are designed for bigger kids. Or, the smaller kids need to be accompanied by an adult, in which I tell you, it is not easy for an adult who is taller than 155cm to maneuver him/herself in the play cage. Husband was having hard time to accompany Eirsa, due to this limitation. Yes, I know, I was the smaller adult here but you should see the sign below where scarf was not allowed! (alasan, booo).

There were separate sections for kids less than 3 years old, which the older kids were not allowed. But the smaller kids were allowed to access those areas for bigger kids, to be accompanied by bigger kids/adults. Same like other play area, no outside food was allowed and they did have in-house cafe.

Sekali lagi, boleh lah ajar anak-anak menyimpan duit dengan mengumpan untuk membawa mereka ke tempat sebegini and I can tell you the kids could have a-whole-day funs that they wanted here!

Kena makan sebelum memerah keringat. Can't choose what to eat. Nak makan sambal lah. Mak oi! It's hot!

The play areas. Yes, the kids kalau duduk dalam ni 6 jam pun tak bosan.

Tempat ini pula kalau mak bapak duduk sembang pung pang pung pang sampai 6 jam pun tak bosan.

See! Scarves are not allowed!

This was one of the carer. If I'm not mistaken MegaKidz will charge RM30 for this service. This fellow looked comfortable with the kids and vice versa.

Fun Fact : 1) I thought edutainment was not a registered English word. But I was wrong. 2) The term edutainment was used as early as 1948 by The Walt Disney Company to describe the True Life Adventures series. (Source : Wikipedia)

Bayar Lebih Sikit Untuk Servis Yang Cool!

I know, Domino's Pizza is expensive than Pizza Hut's Pizza. But I still prefer Domino's Pizza because from my personal experience :

1) The dough tastes better
2) The service is much better; it's either 30 mins of free regular pizza voucher. Yes, we so far had received 3 vouchers even though it was only 5-10 minutes late of delivery. The same time I tried to order for Pizza Hut's pizza online, they offered me 60 minutes delivery. And once we ordered Pizza Hut's pizza, the order only came almost 2 hours later.
3) I registered online Pizza Hut's account with my delivery to office address and when I want to change to my house address, error occurred every time. Noice.

Plus, the have this cool GPS tracking system. Gila terpesona akak dengan kecanggihan begini!

* Just heard my house bell, must be the Domino's Pizza's guy!
** And yes, he was! He even gave us the free pizza voucher for just being 6 minutes late! Disebabkan ini, kami selalu memberi tips (sikit je la tapi) kepada delivery guy.

Fun Experiment No. 5! (In Romper Suit)

Again, another product from The Poplook that I love. But still, I need a long jacket (masih mencari) or cardigan or any long outwear that is long enough to cover my butt. Jika tidak, pasti ramai yang pitam.

Again, the same belt, the same selendang and a piece of cardigan bought from Brands Outlet, Ikano quite some time ago.

The outfit is very comfortable, different and stylish at the same time. Kalau pakai dengan jacket / blazer lebih kemas dan hakikatnya lebih saya gemari.

Fun Facts : Years ago in France, rompers were only for boys. (Source : Historical Boys' Clothing)

Fun Experiment No. 3 & 4! (Dah Kemaruk Nak Berkain Pula)

Believe me. I never owned a long skirt for the past 30 years (but I do own short-short ones la, for home-used only...). I mean may be Emak bought me some but as far as I'm concerned, I had never bought one for myself. The same case was also applicable for a long dress, short apatah lagi. And I could rarely be seen in baju kurung when I go to the office, except for jamuan raya. I have no offense or problems or bad experience with baju kurung. But I will be more comfortable in my pants.

I guess recently, 30 year old feminine side of me akhirnya dah tak boleh menahan kesabaran lagi. I started buying skirt and dresses last month and getting addicted. Within a month, I finally owned a long maxi skirt and 3 long dresses (ok dah, sekarang budget sudah habis, saya sudah insaf percayalah). All from ThePoplook.

I started with black maxi skirt, from ThePoplook. And. Get. Hooked! Of course I need to pair with carefully selected top, but alhamdulillah, my first experiment turned out to be very successful and made me more confident to pull a skirt-style off. Since then, I've been wearing the same skirt over and over again, sampai Husband pun perasan, "Ni dah basuh ke belum ni? Asik pakai je.." Tak boleh simpan rahsia langsung. *__*

Later I tried ThePoplook's maxi dress, pair it with a black jacket and loved the look too!

Note : I found ThePoplook's skirts and long dresses are quite reasonable in terms of price. And admittedly addicted too. And yes, the blue silky scarf (in first trip photo) is indeed a Schanaz scarf and I love it! Sangat mudah dipakai (tak licin), effect nya sungguh terletak and of course, stylish. I already had two and plan to own more. :D

Even More Important and Serious Note : Owner of Shop SputnikSweetheart, Ami Schaheera, has been (and still is) battling with blood cancer since a year ago. Her journey is inspiring and she would never let the disease to take all the fun that she has in life and fashion.

Fun Fact : Rah-rah skirt, a short, tiered and often solorful skirt fashionable in the early-mid 1980s, also know as cheering skirt.
