Dinner at Menara KL's revolving restaurant

So, a lot of people asked me about this place since i've posted some videos on instastory the other day.

The revolving restaurant at Menara KL, called Atmosphere 360, serves buffet and for dinner, it costs RM 200++ per adult, and RM 145.

You can check 'em out yourself here: http://www.atmosphere360.com.my

Anyway, what i think of the place are:
1. PRICEY GILA!!!! tapi pergi jugak sebab dah janji.. and orang belanja, so ok la. But still..

2. Food is ok la. Not that big spread like at Majestic Hotel kinda thing. Takde that "HOMAGAH SEDAP GILA!" feeling when eating the food.

3. If you're prone to motion sickness, it'll be a nightmare. Because you'll be eating and you can feel some inertia. Bahaha! As i'm typing this out pun dah rasa pening pening..

4. The view is nice at night.

5. I think it's more appropriate for couples because it's ambience is quite romantic. At night i mean.

6. Toilet's nice.

7. Leceh for people on wheelchair or baby in stroller because have to take a life at the guard/staff entrance, then naik to the lobby, and then go to the lift that'll take us to the restaurant.
Isaac chill je. Clever boy dia ni.


Ok cukup la tu.
For me, once is enough. I don't want to go there again. Heheehee
I think the price justifies the view we got. On a clear day, it's nice. Kalau hujan... Rugi la kot. I don't know heheheehee


Alhamdulillah it was a nice experience overall =)

Such is life of a housewife, who couldn't speak her mind freely and talking about her child's development like it's such an important topic

Assalamualaikum!

Nadrah is now in a new school, Kinderkaizen. I can't believe the activities they do there. It's so.... mentally uplifting! For nadrah i mean. Haha!
I've been eyeing Kinderkaizen for the longest time because i love Dr Putri Afzan and my friend, who's a teacher in one of the branch has been sharing loads of stuff they did in their school. It's just because it's too far from us that i didn't put Nadrah there in the first place. Alhamdulillah they opened one in Damansara Perdana, hmph! Apa lagi!

Nadrah has this new type of curiosity that's on the right direction. For example playing blocks. She used to just put them together and throw them everywhere and then, she'll tell me to play with her (which means, play FOR her. I have to put them blocks together! Cheating..). Now, she will put them together and figure out how to make a shape of something. She learnt about body anatomy, electricity, she even made her own playdoh!

So i'm very pleased with her progress. Baru je tukar, but can see positive developments.
Can't believe she's gonna be 3 in November ='(
Cepatnya masa berlalu!

So anyway, the other day we went to the playground at the Curve (i know... it's in a mall, but oh well. i have Isaac with me kot. Heheee), and i saw something that made me go wide eyed.
The kind that means "HAMAGAAAHHHH".
Not in a good way, by the way.

I saw these kids playing tag. That's good, right?
But HAMAGAAAHHHHH! When they tag each other, they lick their hands first!
So it's like, "TAG! I lick you! Bahaha! So much fun!".

But they're kids, so it's normal for them to play something disgusting right?
I used to play with tadpoles in the longkang.
I used to jump in muddy puddles WITHOUT shoes/slippers/boots.
What's so wrong about licking the hand and wiping it on another person's face or clothes?

Well. Let me answer myself.
Hand, foot and mouth disease (HFMD) is on the loose and it's going around like nobody's business.
So yeah. I don't want my kids to get that.
And that's why i freaked out a bit.

And also, there was this one time, this bibik came to me and practically telling me how dissatisfied she was with the child she was handling. Saying the girl was "cerewet macam ibunya". TO ME!
All the girl did was cry softly. She wasn't wailing or throwing tantrum pun. And the bibik told me she'd prefer staying at home "boleh tengok tv. Lebih enak.".

I don't know why she feels like she could rant to me..

So what's the point of me ranting about this then?

Here's what it is, actually:
I hate the fact that i can't say these things out loud.
I wish i could tell the children to not play lick-tag. Just play tag is ok, ye children? =)
We don't want everyone to get unwanted and terrible diseases kan?
Thank you for being careful!
Bibik, kalau bibik tak puas hati, bagitau majikan la ya. Bagitau saya tak elok. Bukannya saya boleh buat apa apa pun. Kalau bibik tak suka budak ni nangis, telefon saja sama majikan, tanya dia kat mana. Saya boleh tolong tunjuk bibik cara nak pergi kat dia.

Menegur is good, but it's hard to do. I can't even tegur my own family members, let alone strangers. I memang honestly prefer writing down what i truly want to say because my brain just don't make sense when it comes through my mouth. I'm out of practice i guess. I hardly talk to anyone on a sophisticated level other than my husband, my cousin and my mom..

Huhhhh..
Oh well.

Such is life of a housewife, who couldn't speak her mind freely and talking about her child's development like it's such an important topic.

Bleh.

My nightly scrub routine

Assalamualaikum!

Y'know..
To be completely honest, i've been watching and reading a lot of homemade skincare products and i was inspired to make my own.
But here's the thing..
It's not cheap!

I thought it'll be cheap, since like the stuff we can use for our face can also be eaten like honey, but come on! I can't be buying honey every week, because i eat honey with my oats, and sometimes with tea, so to use them on my face lagi (which isn't a small canvas, know what i'm sayin?), mann... i can't be spending for skincare ingredients every week!

And i'm too lazy to do them.
There, i said it!

I need my time to care for other stuff, like cleaning, cooking and taking care of my kids.
Seriously, by 9pm, i'm always out. I hardly have a good sit.
Seriously. I don't sit properly coz i can't.
Seriously.
My kids are secretly tag-teaming to get me on my feet most of the day.
T_T


Anyway, no matter what beauty drinks or whatever available in the market right now, i still strongly stick to taking care of my skin by using the right products and eating right.
And to me, the right products doesn't depend on the brand. It's the effectiveness on the skin.
I use St Ives scrub since i was a teen coz it works on me, no matter what skin phase i go through.

I had oily skin when i was a teen, then when i got into 20s, it got into this weird oily and dry combination, and now it's straight up dry.
And since i found out that i can use the scrub every day, i have been doing just that.
I absolutely loooooovvveeeee the feeling of the water washing off the exfoliants and dead skin off of my face.
Bliss......

I usually use the Fresh Skin scrub, but recently i got the other 2; Blackhead and Blemish control ones, and i am loooovvviiiinnnnngggg the Blackhead one!



It smells great and it makes me feel awesome. Hehe! They take pride in using 100% natural exfoliants in their products with paraben free too.

Just so you know, St Ives scrubs are all natural and safe for the environment, which is why i went with it in the first place. I've read that some exfoliant beads couldn't be filtered and is harmful to their environment. Also, they're not doing animal testing. So yeah. My conscience is good. =)
