DIY play-doh

This week, Emmett and his classmate are making a DIY Play-doh.

It is so easy to make. All you need is flour, salt, food coloring and water. I seriously dunno why the salt is required, anyone knows?

Here's the teacher guiding them in making the dough.

AirAsia New Baggage Pricing 2016

Got this email from AirAsia...

We would like to inform you, our valued guest, that we will be revising our baggage pricing.

With the new pricing structure, booking your checked baggage at the time of your flight booking will guarantee you the greatest savings.

You will still be able to pre-book your baggage via Manage My Booking later. However, it will be at a higher price.

Rest assured that pre-booking checked baggage online, be it at the time of your flight booking or later via Manage My Booking, you will still enjoy more savings as compared to purchasing last minute at the airport counter. Because of this, we highly encourage you to pre-book your baggage.

Learn more about our new baggage pricing structure here.

New price for domestik fees & changes, banyak jugak beza nyer.

Eugene: Emmett, look at this.

Emmett: wow, it's a magnet, give it to me, don't magnetize your head.
Eugene: No, I am not going to magnetize my head, and I am not giving it to you.

Few days later, still playing with the same magnet...

Emmett: I know what I'm gonna do with this magnet, at night, I am gonna steal it.

Sushi Zanmai, Vivacity #1

We went there on the 2nd day of its opening. The queue is long, we waited for 20 minutes to be seated, and another 40 minutes for all our food to arrive.

The queue

The menu; love the seating arrangement and the deco; the wet tissue on the table cost 20sen each.

We had.. Ocha - RM1.50 each, Ebi tempura, shuyo ramen - the clear broth is so tasty and the tiny mushroom in there is so good, chicken katsudon - there's same tasty tiny mushroom in this rice too. Am loving the tiny mushroom!

We also ordered ss salmon salad, ss avocado, ss inari.

Food is pricier than Sakae Sushi. Mummy n daddy love the taste, while Eugene n Emmett still prefer Sakae Sushi.
