    KL: DinoTrek 2 at KLCC PetroSains

    October 23, 2009 /

    Last July, my son was into dinosaurs and he would browse the internet, youtube and books to feed his insatiable needs for more information about them. He even drafted out a dinosaur game!

    I’m not sure how to play it but basically I just have to press the round button and he would do all the effects himself.

    Looking at his enthusiasm, my husband suggested that we bring him to see ‘real’ dinosaurs at DinoTrek 2 Exhibition, PetroSains KLCC.

    My son was all excited! From the moment we stepped in until the moment we stepped out, his questions were endless! He really had fun that day and made us promised to come back again to see the dinosaurs.

    I think DinoTrek 2 is a great exhibition to bring your children to. It is educational and fun!

    So if you happen to be in KLCC, do stop by the DinoTrek 2. It showcases 5 types of dinosaurs and they are Protoceratops, Spinosaurus, Stegosaurus, Tyrannosaurus Rex and Velociraptors.

    Turning 40

    October 22, 2009 /

    Yesterday, I turned 40. Forty. Vierzig. Quarante. Empat Puluh. Frankly, I don’t care if I turned 50 yesterday. I just love being myself, being a mom to a rambunctious 6 years old, being a wife to the coolest and genius husband, being a daughter to the world’s greatest mom/parents in-law, being a sister to wonderful siblings/cousins, being a sister-in-law to the in-laws, being a niece to understanding aunts/uncles, being an aunt to cute entertaining nephews/nieces and being a friend to beautiful people, regardless what my age is.

    Here’s looking forward to more decades!

    emila 40

    If you dread turning 40, don’t. Here are some quotes randomly picked from the internet for you to ponder and smile at:

    At age 20, we worry about what others think of us. At 40, we don’t care what they think of us. At 60, we discover they haven’t been thinking of us at all. ~ Ann Landers

    I’m not 40, I’m eighteen with 22 years experience. ~ Author Unknown

    The first forty years of life give us the text: the next thirty supply the commentary. ~ Arthur Schopenhauer

    At twenty years of age, the will reigns; at thirty, the wit; and at forty, the judgment. ~     Benjamin Franklin

    Forty is the old age of youth; fifty is the youth of old age. ~     French Proverb

    Life begins at forty.     ~ W B Pitkin
