Get Things Done With BungkusIt

We’re moms. On top of looking after the children, we have million of other things on our to-do list. Lucky me, I’ve found an app that’s worth mentioning and possibly put some of your miseries to rest. It’s called BungkusIt!

BungkusIt is an app that allows you to get things done like:-

  • Order food from your favourite restaurant
  • Get groceries from the supermarket
  • Deliver your items without queuing up at the post office
  • Pick up things from places for you

Basically everything EXCEPT picking up your kids from school (haha). BungkusIt also promised to get your task done in less than 60 minutes. How superb is that?! No time wasted!

I’ve had the privilege to try out their service and it was pretty easy for a first-timer.

How to go about it? Firstly you need to download the BungkusIt app via App Store or Google Play. Click on register and fill in your details. Key in 4tg2yk in the referral code field.

When you’re done, you’re set to make your first order! For me, I’d like them to purchase McDonald’s and have it sent to my home. Yum yum. Simply add the nearest McDonald’s in the ‘Pickup’ field and your home address in the ‘Drop Off’ field.

Once you’re satisfied, click DONE. You will then see the image below. Select ‘Pay at Drop Off’ and make sure you’ve enough cash to give the roadie when he comes. Type in your order in the ‘Tell us what you want’ section. Be specific and clear if you do not want your order to get messed up. Add a photo if possible to help your roadie with the order. When you’re done click Submit.

Once a roadie accepts your order, you will see this on your screen. This is so useful as it shows you the ETA of the roadie.

My order arrived safe and sound in less than 60 minutes! So happy cos I was super hungry haha. Upon completion of task, you will then have a chance to rate your roadie and in my case, he did a great job in delivering my food.

Why I love my Babyzen Yoyo+ and Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix

Since my first review and comparison between the Babyzen Yoyo+ and GB Pockit, I’ve been happily using the Babyzen Yoyo+ for about two years now. It is by far the best stroller I’ve used – lightweight, aircraft cabin approved and compact enough to fit into any car.

But now, my firstborn had since ‘self-graduate’ from the stroller and she’s fond of just walking and running around on her own when we go out. This is where a child harness comes in handy. Sure, if you’re using a child harness you will get funny stares from people around often accompanied with whispers such as “look look, so cute lar” or “yier like dog like that”.

But whatever it is, a child harness is to prevent the toddler from straying too far and most importantly, from being snatched away. I have been using the Trunki ToddlePak reins and I’m extremely happy with it – my toddler is always excited to wear it. Another popular type is the wrist link type which I am not particularly fond of as the constant tugging isn’t very good for the toddler’s wrist and shoulder.

Back to the Babyzen Yoyo+. So, now that my firstborn is no longer using the stroller and I now have a new infant in my family, the Yoyo+ has another great use – the stroller chassis can be used to attach a Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix using special adapters.

As the Yoyo+ is ultra lightweight and compact, the entire combination (Yoyo+ chassis, CabrioFix and adapters) only weighs about 6kg.

I find that this is possibly the best city stroller and infant car seat combination – Even better than the Quinny Zapp and Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix combination I reckon!

Here’s an example of how the combination works:
1. Detach Maxi-Cosi CabrioFix from Yoyo+ with a single push of the buttons on each side

2. Fit CabrioFix into the car with infant inside – secure the Cabriofix in place

3. Fold the Yoyo+ and either put it inside the trunk or just on the floor of the car

Car seat and city stroller combinations have come a long way since. Now, there are 2-in-1 equipments combining both car seat and stroller without the need of detaching them – the Doona Car Seat Stroller. However, this clever and very beautifully designed buggy can only be used up to a limited age which makes it uneconomical.

Now in Season Malaysia event @ Village Grocer’s Cafe

Abby and I were invited by Now in Season Malaysia to attend an event that they organised on the 13th of May at Village Grocer’s Cafe, Tropicana Avenue. It was a Saturday so I had my husband drop us off at the location because nobody wants to spend time to look for a parking with a screaming toddler lol. We arrived 10 minutes earlier since it was scheduled to start at 10am but it was pushed to 10.30am. Was given a goodie bag as well with grapes and beetroot in it.


This event is kid-friendly so all kids were equipped with colouring activity sheets. Here’s an occupied Abby.

All tables were also given fresh grapes for guests to munch on and I must say that the grapes were absolutely delicious! Abby was requesting for more so I was peeling the skin off the whole time.

The event was hosted by Daphne Iking who’s also a Sabahan (like me! :P) and a mom to 3 kids. It wasn’t until after the event ended that we chatted. Always excited to meet another Sabahan here in West Malaysia.

Here’s Indra Balaratnam giving some insights to the guests who are mostly parents. I would think that I know a lot about important nutrients for my child but surprisingly, all I know are all on the surface. Indra showed what kind of food group are supposed to be given more and how to count them in servings. Very informative indeed. She also showed two very simple healthy recipes that we can follow.

The event ended with a light brunch for everyone and the two recipes that were shared by Indra was also served. The carrot dip was simply delicious. Just blend some carrots, green beans and garlic and you’ll have a wonderful dip to go with cucumbers and crackers 🙂

Also bumped into my ex-colleague who is also a popular blogger <3 A great mom to two beautiful girls, Illy’s blog covers from reviews to her experiences. Check her out at illyariffin.com
