How often you get to see a pizza box like this? For me, ermmm... this is the first time and it felt oh-so-luxurious to hold that box of gourmet chocolate pizza, as I tried hard to fend off my 3 year old boy who wants a piece of it like RIGHT NOW!

I had to quickly opened up the box because it's really annoying listening to my 3 year old chanting "I want to eat, I want to eat, I want to eat" repeatedly right to my face.

Just look at his face! Top left picture of my boy trying hard to peel off the packaging and the few other pictures shows the close-up shots of a slice of the heavenly chocolate pizza! Oh my... look at those chocolate toppings! Drool!!!

As the chocolate pizza was flown all the way from UK to Malaysia, I do understand that there might be some imperfections in the presentation of the pizza. In my case, one of the pizza slices got crushed and was misaligned with the rest of the slices. But hey, not complaining at all as I know the packaging must have been thrown around during the delivery stage.

Let's see what my guinea pigs gotta say after they tried out this chocolate pizza:

ME
"Mmmm... nice! The chocolates my oh my... mmmmm... I can eat this all night long!"
BEN

"Mmmmm!! I want!! I WANT!!" (you can see the pictures of him trying to open the packaging!)

HUBBY
"Mmmm very nice!" 
MY MIL
"Wow, you mean this is flown all the way from UK? I love overseas chocolate, their ingredients is so much better than our local ones!"
 

To sum up my food review, all I can say is:

YUMMYLICIOUS AND I DON'T MIND ANOTHER ROUND!

*hint!*hint!*

What's good?

* I love that I am able to download YouTube videos and watch it offline! Yay! No more freaking out when our Internet connection is down! This feature is particularly useful when we were travelling up north for our recent family trip and there's no 3G connection on certain areas.

* I like the super easy process to download a file or image! Simply load the webpage with the file or image you want to download, tap on the object (file or image) for few seconds and select the download option!

* The cool thing is you can download more than 1 file or image, the app simply queues up the file(s) and image(s) and while the app downloads your file(s) or image(s), you can continue to browse or watch your videos or files!

Room for Improvement?

* I think it would be great to have a version for iPad as the current layout is for iPhone. Of course, I can always tap the 2X view to enlarge it but it will make the words blur.

* There are some YouTube videos on dedicated channels which I can't seem to download correctly. It kept download another video instead of the one I wanted.

* There are some rare incidents where the app exits by itself.

To sum up my review, this is a very useful utility app as it enables me to download files and pictures immediately while I am browsing the Internet.

Product Review - BabyDan Bathmat

~ Posted on Monday, May 21, 2012 at 8:24 AM ~

I am so happy to be able to review this product as it arrives just a day before we are due for our short 3D 2N family trip up north recently. Here goes my review for the "BabyDan Bathmat":

I'm a full-time mummy

The Bath Mat designed by BabyDan is very useful in preventing your child from slipping accidently and is soft, textured and very comfy!

Mat features: 
* Easily cleaned.
* It features suction cups, making it easily repositionable.
* Can be used both in shower and bath. 
* Size: 42 centimeters x 25 centimeters (oval shape)

The BabyDan Bathmat is available from the online nursery shop Hello Baby.  Hello Baby also sells a wide range of other baby and nursery stuff including Baby Toys, nursery furniture, baby travel and baby safety products.

Just look at my little Miss Inspector! The moment I put the packaging on the bed, she immediately crawled over to inspect what's inside! Anyway, the bathmat came in a transparent plastic bag which can be reuse as the cover/carrier for outings.

Then I took out the bathmat and Alyson got more excited! She bends it, and inspects every nook and corner! She plays around with the suction caps for a while to satisfy her curiosity.

The reason why I requested to review this bathmat is because of its portability feature. The bath tub we have currently does have a small area (like 6 inch width) at the bottom which is anti-slip but it cannot be removed at all. Which pretty much sucks unless we carry the bath tub along for our family trip. 

I also thought of the times I had to be super cautious when it comes to water pool time which my kids both love to do almost everyday! Now I can be assured that she will not slipped accidentally while she is seated in the water area.

Picture taken above shown Alyson sitting on the BabyDan Bathmat in the bath tub during our recent family trip and also top right picture showing her sitting on the bathmat again in our mini water pool.

What I love about this bathmat is it is so easy to carry along, it doesn't take up much space at all and while it is very easy to put on and remove, I'm happy to say that the bathmat remains strongly secured!
