Stroller World

After months of procrastination (and also because I was waiting for the $), we finally made our way to Stroller World in Puchong. They used to be in IOI Mall Puchong but moved to this new place just recently.

We test drove 2 types of Maclaren strollers (I've set my eyes on them for months and didn't even look at other brands). First the Triumph and then the other one was Quest. Triumph was retailing at RM699 (original price RM899) while Quest was at RM799 (original price RM1299). Both were light and easy to maneuver but Quest was the winner for sure because it had a smoother ride.

We also bought the Maclaren organiser at RM89 (cannot remember if this was before or after discount) since there is no space to place water bottles or the baby's stuff. All in all am quite happy with the purchase and we're sooooo glad we change to this light and space saving stroller. No need to change to an MPV now...mwhahaha.. 

The deets on Stroller World is as below. Use GPS if you're not familiar with Puchong..we used Waze and it led us spot on to the store.

What am I going to do with the Graco stroller? I don't know yet but I don't think we'll be using it for much longer.

Maclaren Quest in Coffee/deepwater colour. Another reason we chose this is because of the extra leg room for the baby as compared to the Triumph below.

Majlis berendoi Lana Adelea - part deux

The berendoi set at RM400. I bought the stool from Ikea coz I know I would not be able to sit on the floor and get up gracefully after the event's done.

Baby L giving the swing a test drive :)


During the ceremony. Should have sat in front but was blocked so nasib got some space behind the swing.

Some of my relatives giving honey to Baby L. I didn't do the cukur jambul because i didn't want to shave off all her hair again.

Budak dah penat


On top - the cupcakes from Kindees Desserts at RM2.50 per piece.  I ordered 200 pcs but I think I should have just ordered 150pcs.
The fancy bottles containing sweets were made by SIL. Pretty lil thang. She's always good in this crafty stuff.
And finally some of the gifts from relatives and friends. Angpows? Keeping them safe with me. Still need to open a Yippie account for her.



Memang grateful sangat sebab ramai friends and sedara datang memeriahkan majlis. Thank you makcik pakcik ali, angah izham and kak ngah siti, pak wan, mak itam semua datang dari kampung. Alia and baby yang dalam pantang pun datang :). Cik Tin and family, Uteh, Babai, Mamat, Kak Ana and family, friends and of course my sisters. We love love you all :)

Majlis Berendoi Lana Adelea

Alhamdulillah..on Saturday 14 December recently, we managed to hold the berendoi ceremony for Baby L.
The theme was pink and lilac. Nearly of our invited guests came to the event and I have to say we were very happy and felt that it was very meriah.

I initially had some doorgift crisis when the baker that should have supplied my cupcakes contacted me on Friday afternoon ( a day before the event) to say that she had some problems with the cuppies. To cut the story short, I had to forego doing business with her and called Shikin from Kindee Desserts for help. With less that 24 hours to do 200 cupcakes for me, she said she could only do the basic vanilla/choc cuppies with buttercream frosting. I was okay with that asalkan it looks good and was good to eat as well.

That night the berendoi deco people also came quite late..11.30pm at night! i was already fuming mad tapi tahan jelah ngantuk. I think the end result was good. All went well. The doorgift (additional ones made by my SIL) also came in handy..the kids liked them. Will share the pics sooooooon... meanwhile, this was how much I spent on the event. Can use this as a guide or basis if you are planning to do one soon. It's for 120 pax.
