You’re not Malaysian enough
I switched on 8tv just now and saw the 1 Malaysia campaign with some of our local celebrities saying 1 line quotes that go, “You’re not Malaysian enough if…” and I was quite annoyed because of the irrelevance of what they say. Most of all was the first quote by 8tv quickie host, Belinda. And her quote goes, “You’re not Malaysian enough if you’ve never lepak at a mamak stall.” The irony is, Belinda is from Kuching, where I am from. And don’t we all know Sarawak is part of Malaysia? And I grew up in Kuching without ever lepaking in a mamak stall. In fact, in certain more interior…

Making your own baby food
I did not decide on making my own baby food from the start. In fact, when Josiah was around 3-4 months, I told my baby sitter I’ll pay her extra so she can shop and cook for him, I even ask my sis-in-law to teach me how to cook.

I thought I already spend so much time making his milk, what more now need to cook! However, after doing…

I like how they manage to liven up this very old part of town, and make it ‘young’ and ‘hip’ yet in a simplistic manner.

Then they also have…

Travelling with a breastfed, cloth diapered, natural food baby
We have never traveled out of the house for any holidays with Josiah since he came into this world. So, last weekend we decided to take a short 2 day 1 night trip to Berjaya Hills Resort, Colmar Tropicale. Being the first trip, naturally I was a bit hassled about so many things, particularly how to handle the diapers and the food for baby. The easiest part is the fact that I am still breastfeeding Josiah, so I don’t have to bother about bringing bottles and milk powder. But I was definitely wondering how to bring his food, as I only feed him home made food not commercial food. I…
