FollowToday, daddy bought a funky skirt for Alycia from Pumpkin Patch @ Gardens, Mid Valley City. Alycia has expanded quite a bit over the last few months and she could not squeeze into most of her pants and skirts anymore. She has begged daddy to buy her a pair of jeans but all the jeans…

Substituting Dark Thick Sauce With Bovril
My 2 gals love to eat ‘kon loa’ noodles (or noodles with dark thick sauce) from the hawkers stall. I don’t like my gals to be eating too much dark thick sauce as it’s an unhealthy condiment – the sauce is loaded with sugar that’s cooked till it becomes thick caramel. Any carbohydrate that is overcooked and burnt produce cancerous…
Loans For My Wish-List Items
What A Morning
Last night around midnight, I had reserved an offer from TigaPi. This morning, when I tried to reserve the offer again, the dreaded red words appeared! This has happened far too many times albeit the 6 hours is not even up yet. Never mind, there were still a few offers shaded in green and I happily reserved…

Dilated Kidney and Ultrasound Scan
I consulted Dr Patrick of Fetal Medicine and Gynaecology Centre today upon recommendation by my gynae to consult a fetal specialist.

A Day Out At Bangsar Village
After lunch at Banquet Restaurant, Bangsar Village on Sunday, daddy brought the gals window shopping. He wanted to buy the gals toys again and as usual, I stopped him. Most of the toys that he had recently bought the gals are now sitting in our storeroom and if he continues to buy more toys, we will soon…
It’s Not The Toothbrush, She Wants Attention!
One morning last week, as usual Alycia refused to brush her teeth before going to school. Daddy didn’t like the idea of Alycia going to school with a stinky mouth and insisted that she brushed her teeth. So he brushed Alycia’s teeth and Alycia was grinning from cheek to cheek and didn’t puke. It was…
Don’t You Think She’s Too Spoilt?
When daddy picked Alycia up from school one day last week, he asked her what she’d like to have for lunch. Of course, Alycia gladly said chicken rice, which was her favorite food and off daddy went to the nearby coffee shop to buy her chicken rice, knowing that there’s lunch prepared at home. Just…

The long holidays are just around the corner and if you are planning for a vacation, you might want to visit Madrid, one of the most breathtaking cities in Europe and a city with many grand, ornate buildings, churches and museums. Madrid is often favored by tourists…
Birds’ Nest
That’s a bowl of birds’ nest double boiled with ‘pau sum’ (a type of ginseng) and rock sugar. I love birds’ nest and the only time I get to savour this expensive and exotic delicacy is when I’m pregnant. For both my pregnancies, I ate a lot of birds’ nest. Whenever my mil was around,…
Our Monday
Despite a rough start for Alycia and us this morning, the rest of the day was nevertheless quite fruitful. After her major temper tantrum in the morning followed by a real good lesson from daddy and mummy, Alycia turned out rather angelic for the rest of today. She did lots of coloring and letter tracing…
Appetizing Dish To Serve With Porridge
Here’s an appetizing dish that goes very well when eaten with porridge. It’s called ‘tau kok lup’ in Cantonese which literally means ‘diced long beans’ in English. All the ingredients in this dish are diced and toddlers will find this dish interesting and appetizing too. Be careful of choking hazard with the peanuts if you’re…
