  • FIRST Cinema Experience @ TGV Sunway


    Our FIRST patron to Wendy

    Wow! Is that Wendy's burger for me? I will eat that after I finished my healthy snack.

    Better eat full. Going for our FIRST family trip to watch movie @ TGV Cinema.

    Yeah! The official movie ticket for Toy Story 3 @ 1pm.

    Yummy! My favorite banana.

    On our way to the cinema... Go straight and up the escalator!

    Ooh... We are so nervous.

    The Toy Story 3 movie started at 1pm. We was well seated at J1 & J2 seats. Even Hern Hern too, he enjoyed sitting on Daddy's lap. Hern Hern was curious about this new place. Maybe deep inside his mind, he will be asking where and why this place was so dark with dim lights only.

    Ok... We watched the preview of a new movie "Day & Night" for about 5 minutes. Hern Hern was still patiently looking at the big screen, still amazed at this new place. Then, he moved a bit. Asking to go to Mommy's lap. Sat there for about 5 minutes. Then moved again to return to Daddy. Later, asked to go to Mommy again. Until one stage, he decided not to sit quietly again. Trying to climb on Mommy again, finding his way to escape from being at the same stop for so long. Daddy decided to bring him to the back row, maybe he will sit there quietly and enjoyed the movie.



    AND




    As a conclusion...





    1) Mommy end up watching the movie alone.
    2) Daddy managed to watch the beginning and ending of the movie.
    3) Hern Hern won't be able to sit still AND it was not advisable to bring this boy to watch movie at the cinema or you will end up chasing him around!

  • Grill Chicken Recipe (taken from Kuali website)

    Grill Chicken

    This is one of the easiest and quickest dish to prepare. All you have to do is marinate and grill it to perfection. Here’s a simple how-to.

    Ingredients :

    • 1 chicken breast
    • 1/2 tsp pepper
    • Juice of half a lemon
    • 3 tsp honey
    • 2 1/2 tsp Italian herbs
    • Salt to taste
    • 1 clove garlic, diced
    • 2 tbsp olive oil

    Method :

    First, cut the chicken breast open (half).

    Mix in half a lemon juice, Italian herbs, honey, salt, pepper, and lastly olive oil into a bowl.

    Then add the chicken and let it marinate for at least 2 hours. It’s better if it’s marinated longer.

    Heat up a non stick pan for at least a minute or so. This will make the top of the chicken nice and brown.

    Let the top side cook for at least 3 minutes on medium heat and then flip it over and let it cook till its perfect ( do not over cook as the chicken will be dry).

    New Corner In The Room

    "Sleeping Prince"

    We bought a new single spring bed mattress (RM199) from Ikea for our Hern Hern's 18 months old present. We felt that he is now a very independent boy, well ready to sleep on his OWN on his OWN bed. Yep, a single bed by himself even though he is only 86.5cm tall. Time to wean him off from our queen size bed and welcome daddy back to the room again. So far so good, he seem to enjoy his little corner in the room. He is able to sleep for least 3 hours straight during the afternoon nap and up to 12 hours for his night sleep. Wow! A record holder for this boy!

    For safety measures, we barricaded his bed with pillows and bolsters. At least, it is much more safer than sleeping on our bed. We even got him his favorite bed sheet with balls printed on it. This will help him to enjoy his full ownership for his little island.
