Le Toy Van Blender Set From Applecrumby & Fish

Cass received another big surprise yesterday!

When she got back from school, her face lit up with glee when she saw this cool toy set on the floor…

 

 

I think the owner of Applecrumby & Fish has some kind of sixth sense and read my mind.  I had always wanted to buy the girls a wooden ‘masak-masak’ set with sliceable wooden fruits since their toddler days but never got to do so. So, when I ripped open the box and found this ‘dream toy’ for my girls, I was delighted myself!

Cass has been playing with her new toy since yesterday. When her 2 che ches returned from school, they joined her in the play too! It has really been a while since the girls have a new toy and I have not seen them play with toys with each other for yonks! It is really heartwarming to see them put aside electrical gadgets and get down to the floor to really play like kids should.

 

Cass also handmade some ‘fruits’ from colorful Blue Tac for her ‘smoothie’.  This is what I call imaginative play and I love to see kids stir up their imagination to come up with something new each time.

 

 

The Le Toy Van Blender set features:

1) a blender with detachable jug & movable settings button
2) six sliceable wooden fruits
3) wooden play knife
4) two wooden tumblers with removable toppings & wooden straws

 

Thank you very much Applecrumby & Fish for this cool blender set.  Cass loves it very much 🙂

Surprise Buffet Dinner On Saturday – 27 September 2014

On Saturday, hubs brought us to a surprise venue for dinner!  We kept asking him where the venue was — whether it was at our neighborhood restaurant, at a posh restaurant or a regular eatery but all he said was “just dress up and get down to the lobby!”

The night before, we did mention to him that we wanted to go to our favorite ‘tai chau’ restaurant at our neighborhood for dinner on Saturday.  So thinking that he would be bringing us to this restaurant, we all wore the clothes that we wore in the morning (to the mamak restaurant)  for dinner.  Even in the car, he kept the surprise all wrapped up.  But we could guess the venue already  half way through the journey.   Jeng jeng jeng… he brought us to a posh hotel for buffet dinner, alamak!  So all of us, donned in our  house clothes walked into the hotel with slippers *coughs*.  I was hoping that I won’t chance into someone I know but as luck always has it, I did bump into someone I know at the buffet dinner!   Great!

So here we are, at the coffee house of Hiltan Sentral KL and dressed up shabbily and not a jot of make-up was on my pale face :O

 

Sherilyn in her shabbiest tee but this girl could not be bothered a jot. She enjoyed her dinner thoroughly, diving in at the buffet counters umpteen times.

 

Someone mentioned that he ain’t going to touch prawns and sea food for the next 2 months after over-doing on seafood in Penang just 2 weeks back. But look what he got…

 

For over a hundred bucks per person for the buffet dinner, hubs and I said that it ain’t worth it as we are but small eaters now.  We were there to utilize the complimentary vouchers that came with his membership with the hotel.  Of late, we cannot really pig out on food anymore.  It must be that we are aging!  We used to do hotel-hopping yonks ago and ate like a horse in buffet lunches and dinners.  He had membership with half a dozen of hotels back then but has since cut down to only two.  Buffet meals are just not the way for us anymore. We are now inclined towards kosher meals and indulging in some ‘sins’ occasionally 😉
