Dinner @ Coo Coo Ron’s Cafe

May 1, 2008May 1, 2008 sweet surrender 6 Comments

Went to Coo Coo Ron’s Cafe with some friends two nights ago. It’s been a while not seeing them. I went to Coo Coo Ron’s before and the menu was different back then. Less choice of food now. We had a bit of difficulty ordering and many were out of stock.

Our drinks:
Earl Grey(RM2.50), Strawberry Tea(RM2.50), don’t-remember-what-tea(RM2.50), Homemade Ginger Ale(RM3.50), Mint Milkshake(RM6)

Homemade Samosa(RM6.50), hmm… It has vegetables in there and a bit of cheese.

Left: Potato Wedges(RM5), it’s just wedges, nothing to rave about.
Right: Fish & Chips(RM9), hmm… everyone said that the fish tasted odd, to me I think it isn’t odd, I think they did marinate it with ginger or something. Most importantly not oily.

Mix Grill Meaty Combo(RM35), very huge portion, you definitely will have problem finishing it alone. It’s better to share it with 2 or 3 friends. Let’s see what they have there, two chicken wings, chicken chop, beef steak, lamb chop, and garlic bread. The black sauce in the middle, it’s their own in-house specialty sauce and everyone seemed to like the sauce a lot compare to the meats hahaha…

We splited the cost. We shared everything we ordered. Not to forgot Jimmy, Tim and Ting went to the back to scribble on the wall to leave their mark there *LOL* Eve didn’t join. I went to wash my hands and scribbled “irenelaw.com” there 😛

Those Days In College

April 30, 2008May 7, 2008 sweet surrender No Comments

I still remember those time when I need to do my assignments, thesis or projects. I’m the kind that always wanted to get my work done way before the due date as I don’t like to do last minute work. Usually I’m the one that finished them first compare to other people in my class. When the due date is drawing nearer, many rushed to get their works done. Often, I’m the one that they will come to when they face problem with their assignments. Hehehe… I’ll be the one guiding them in completing the whole thing.

I like doing assignments, courseworks, projects or research. I hate exams. Once I thought of starting a custom writing service for academic writing, custom writing and more. In fact I did some after I had graduated but after I got a job, I stopped providing such service.

You ever get other people to do your assignments for you? Hehehe… I’m pretty sure at some extend we all had referred to some other people’s or seniors’ works to help get our assingments and project done. No doubt with that. Com’on, admit it, I know you did, I know I did!

Poppies – Mommy Chapter

April 29, 2008April 28, 2008 sweet surrender 8 Comments

After seeing the things for babies, we must not forget about the mommies also. Daddies should from time to time pamper the mommies. Without them, you won’t have your babies. Hahaha… Let’s see what you can give to your wife to make her feel that you love and care and play an active role for your children.

Left: Some all time favourite pregnancy and childbirth books are available.
Right: Breast pumps for mommies. For some guys, you must be wondering what is this for. Hahaha… It’s for your wife to pump the breast milk out to store in bottles for your kids! Got it??!?! Breastfeeding is good for your baby and personally I strongly support breastfeeding. 🙂 I’m not breastfed last time, I was fed with S26, formulated milk that was quite popular back then, now there are many brands available.

Pregnant women also want to feel pretty, deserve to wear nice clothings too. Poppies also offer maternity clothings. In May, there will be a fashion show and talks for parent-to-be and various activities by Poppies at tHe Spring. I will keep you updated about it.

Your wife deserves to be pampered with beauty and health products that do not contain harmful substances to the baby. Oh My Sweetness!!(I’m going to use this from now in instead of OH My Goodness or OMG hahaha…) Anything that is safe for pregnant ladies are safe for you are me. So if you are looking for lotions, creams, shower gels, lipbalms, soaps and so on that are safe for use, you can get these, they are all quality products imported from US, Aus, NZ and UK. Told you this shop is for everyone hahaha…

It’s a mommy friendly shop where you can use the diaper changing room or nursing room to change your baby diaper or breastfed your baby in there.

Poppies carries wide range of products for mommies from the time she got pregnant to after the baby is born. I only show you some here, there are also baby slings, nursing pads, bras, pillows, maternity sanitary pads, surgical ring cushions and so on. Check them out at Poppies. I’m sure you will find what you need there.

Next up… Things for older babies, kids and big kids like us!! WAKAKA… I saw some nice stuffs there… Can someone buy for me? Please… *BLEK*

Poppies – Baby Chapter

April 28, 2008April 29, 2008 sweet surrender 9 Comments

Poppies is a type of flower. Did you know there’s another meaning for it? You know how the locals here like to called babies “ang gugu”? People overseas will call their babies “poppies”. Interesting, I didn’t know this until I visited Poppies at tHe Spring to see what they have to offer. It’s a new shop that sells stuffs for babies, children, mommies and also the big kids like us hahaha… Was honoured to be invited to feature this place in my blog by My Privilege Book and Poppies. I went there yesterday with few more Kuching Bloggers. They were Alex and Deluxe, Anna, Cherlyn, Edwin, and Jimmy.

I’m sure if we don’t have children or babies or intend to shop for friend’s baby shower and so on, you won’t be stepping into this shop. How wrong was I. I will split this post into parts to share with you the interesting stuffs that I found in there. This shop is for everyone!!

Left: Do check out the islands to find great offers that they have from time to time. Every Wednesday, they will have some special offers on certain products. It’s a good time to go and look around on stuffs for your poppies hehehe…
Right: Kids will surely be bored, so they can play here but of course must have someone looking after them, don’t leave them there alone to play.

Things for your baby’s bedroom. You can get cots, mattress, pillows, cradles, blankets and so much more!! Spoilt for choices hahaha… Cuteness overdose also hahaha…

Clothes for babies are available also.

These had grabbed our attention! It’s stockings!! Hehehe… So cute!! Great for gift.

Things for feeding your babies. Major brands are available here such as Avent, Chicco etc. You can get stuffs from UK, US, NZ or Aus here. You don’t have to fly to KL for it anymore. This is why the owner started this business as she had problem looking for things for her baby last time. The first shop is located in Sibu, I’m sure those living in Sibu will know Poppies. This is the second shop, opened in March in tHe Spring.

Milk powder and diapers are essentials for babies. It’s never cheap but you can get benefits from Poppies if you are their member. Signing up as a member only require RM30 for lifetime membership, no annual renewal, no expiration of points. RM1=1 point and you can use these accumulated points to get freebies or enjoy special offers. Special card is given to you to record down the number of milk powder and diapers that you had purchased. With 10 stamps collected, you are entitle for selected offer.

Car seats and strollers. We were told that you must start putting your baby on car seat as early as possible so that when he/she got older, he/she will get used to the idea and won’t make a fuss about it. Start early is the key.
