FollowJust got back from Ipoh a moment ago. I have had a good break back at my hometown. Didn’t do much blogging, aside from posting 2 paid posts as the due date is today. Anyway, I took a lot of pix of hubby’s DIY cards to me during our courting days, some even date back…

Fun with Sculptured Balloons
After daddy had sculptured the sausage-shaped balloons into animals, flowers, a disfigured Pink Panther and swords for the gals several days ago, the gals had fun playing with them for the next few days. The stalk of the flower-shaped balloon had burst, so I transformed it into a flower-shaped balloon hair clip for Sherilyn. Alycia…
Video – Sherilyn The Wannabe Musician
Really Funny
Yesterday, I had a real good laugh when I saw Alycia and Sherilyn trying to get inside this toy tunnel with the tunnel in an upright position. The tunnel is meant to be placed on the floor for them to crawl inside but nope, whenever their imagination run wild, they can just think of anything…
Blog Marathon, Again
I’m running a blog marathon again today. I’ve just submitted 4 paid posts today and I have another 5 to complete. Reason being I’ll be going back to Ipoh tomorrow to celebrate my dad’s birthday. I’ll be away for 3-4 days, during which time I dont think I’ll have the time to do much blogging.…
All-In-One Wholesome Dish
This is what we had for lunch yesterday : A wholesome omelette made with 3 eggs, 1 Japanese sweet potato shredded, some minced chicken meat, chopped spring onions, Bombay onions and a dash of salt and pepper. You get protein and iron from the eggs, carbohydrate and Vit A from the sweet potato, fibre from…
Paid Posts
My favorite advertiser finally released some offers for me early this morning. That’s the advantage of rising early in the morning, the early bird definitely gets to catch bountiful amount of worms. This Tiga P is really driving me nuts. They rejected one of my posts today, citing the reason I used sentences from the…
Purple Cabbage
I was caught by surprise that not many people have seen a purple cabbage. Each time I have visitors at home and they see me cooking a purple cabbage dish, they would ask what that is. I love cabbages and also vegetables with dark colors. The darker the color of the vege, the more nutrients…
My Gals Are Learning BM Fast

Mooncakes
Mooncake festival is around the corner again. Though the festival only falls next month, restaurants and shops are capitalizing on the situation and most have already started selling mooncakes and lanterns aplenty since last month. I am not a great fan of mooncakes coz I find most of them sweet and of course they are…
Issues With Tiga P Lagi
Tiga P is clamping down on bloggers lately. The latest I heard is that they are freezing accounts of bloggers to conduct investigation on their blogs. I know of several bloggers who just had their accounts suspended. Tiga P is really strict now but I feel they are still practising double standards. While some unlucky…
What A Pose
Several days ago, hubby bought an Evan Almighty DVD for the gals. I normally won’t allow the gals to watch long movies but since this movie is a rendition of the modern Noah’s Ark, I’d allowed the gals to watch. One of Alycia’s favorite stories is also Noah’s Ark. The gals were hooked to Evan…
Crazy Over Their New Shoes
Another Dead Nemo
Less than 1 month after hubby had bought some additional fish for our pond, most of the new nemo did not survive at their new home. Yesterday, another nemo died. Now, there are only about 7-8 surviving nemos in the pond, from 20 over of them. Poor nemo floating in the water on the left…
