FollowWhen I purchased a new desktop computer last week, the vendor did not install any antivirus software to the computer. Hubby’s friend who is a computer specialist told us that we can download free antivirus software from the internet. However, I always feel skeptical about downloading freeware from the internet. Another friend of mine recommended…

My Christmas Wish
What do you really wish for this Christmas? For me, apart from wishing to safely deliver a healthy and perfect baby, I’d love to get a pair of Astley Clarke diamond heart earrings in 14ct white gold. I’ve not bought myself any jewellery for years and the only white gold diamond earring I have is…
Our Sunday
Daddy has to work in the afternoon, so after church today, we didn’t eat out. Was invited by Darrius’ mum (RamblingMoo) to attend Darrius’ 2nd birthday party but unfortunately, couldn’t go as we only have 1 car at home and daddy has to use it. So daddy packed some of my favorite hawkers’ food from Paramount Garden in…
Get The Best Mortgage Deal For Your Home
When we found out that we could get a lower interest rate for our mortgage from another bank, we wasted no time and quickly applied for a remortgage from that bank. Not only was the interest rate 2% lower, the bank also paid for the legal fees incurred in the remortgage. With the remortgage, we paid…
Alycia My Discerning Diner
Alycia who loves nothing more than food has lately shown very keen interest in mastering the fork and knife and chopsticks. We were at PJ Hilton last Sunday for lunch and she insisted that she wanted to use the fork and knife to cut her sausage, just like we adults. When Sherilyn saw, she also followed…
Online Family Recipes
I have always wanted to cook my own Thai green curry but could not find a recipe that is easy to cook but that’s until I found a homemade Thai green curry recipe from Mydish.com, an online cookbook with loads of family recipes ranging from cake recipes to pie recipes, kids’ recipes, spaghetti recipes, recipes…
Battery-Operated Toothbrush
Finally got a battery-operated toothbrush for Alycia and Sherilyn and they simply adore their new gizmo. It’s been 5 days since I got them this and they have never been so interested and enthusiastic in brushing their teeth the whole day. Now, Alycia does not puke anymore when I brush her teeth in the morning. Instead, she is grining from cheek to…
Amniocentesis Results
The day finally came when the results for my Amnio test were out. I had called the gynae’s office in the morning but was told that it’s not out yet. Later in the afternoon, the nurse called to inform me that it’s finally out, 4 days early. As it was pouring heavily with thunder and lightning,…
Sunday School
One of the things that motivate Alycia and Sherilyn to drag themselves up from bed early on a Sunday morning is getting stickers from their Sunday School teachers apart from doing art and craft, coloring and singing. At the end of the Sunday School class, all the kids will queue up to get stickers from…
Food Review – Gu Yue Tien Chinese Cuisine
When my brother, his wife and family from Singapore were here during the Deepavali holiday last week, we had dinner at Gu Yue Tien Chinese Cuisine at Chulan Square. This restaurant serves fusion food and the food were very good – tasty and presentation was very good too. We didn’t try the fusion food but…

My Fresh Milk Stock
That’s how much fresh milk I drink for 1.5 weeks – 4 boxes of my favorite Marigold HL milk – plain and banana flavor. Despite having aversion to certain food, luckily I still love milk during my pregnancy, all 3 of them. When I was carrying Alycia and didn’t have appetite to eat anything, I was practically surviving only on fresh…
Forgetful Mum
I was rushing away to meet my deadlines this morning till I had forgotten to put Alycia’s lunch box into her school bag. I had prepared peanut butter-strawberry jam-butter and cheese toast for her and had cut it nicely into triangular wedges and placed them into her lunch box. I then left the lunchbox on the…
Payday Advance To The Rescue
She called me again several days ago on the pretext of asking how my pregnancy is progressing. I know that each time she calls, there is surely an ulterior motive. I’ve known her for more than 10 years since our college days and though she can be quite a helpful friend at times, she is…
I Need Something ‘Yun’
When I had a chanced meeting with Alycia and Sher’s former babysitter yesterday, she was taken aback to see me ‘dried and withered’ with cracked lips and peeling skin on my arms. She advised me to double boil something ‘yun’ to drink and suggested pears or apples double boiled with snow fungus and wolfberries. She…
Rush Rush Rush
I had woken up late this morning at 6:15am. Quickly rushed downstairs, turn on my computer and went to the website of this network. I have 4 opps expiring in 45 minutes and I know there’s no way I could complete them. Managed to complete 3 opps and when I had finished the last one,…
