FollowThe skin on my tummy, waist and arms are super duper dry and the flaky skin is peeling off like a newborn baby’s dry skin. It gets so bad and obvious that Sherilyn just can’t stay her hands away from helping me peel off the skin and she keeps asking me why my skin is peeling off…

A Spice-Up In Our Marriage
I told hubby the other day that we really need to do something to spice up our marriage. After the kids came along, the spark of romance seemed to have dwindled and our lives have just been centered on our 2 high-demand girls. After reading a book by the famous Singaporean sex guru, I am really…
Tagging Along To The Gynae’s Again
Sherilyn really loves tagging along to the gynae’s office. When we were there on Wednesday, she was happily munching away the fried egg sandwich that I made her and smiling away cheekily to other patients. Once, she followed us into the Ultrasound Scan room and saw the dr. put the probe into my ‘under’ to perform a…
Payday Loans To The Rescue
Your wife is due to deliver your third child next month. You’ve just purchased a new MPV and installment for the vehicle has commenced this month. With a mortgage to service, payments for your insurance premium, household expenses, your kids’ education and the installment for your new MPV, you will have no extra cash left…
My Craving Was Satisfied
Zipangu Japanese Restaurant
We had dinner at Zipangu Japanese Restaurant at Shangri La Hotel last week as it was sil’s last night with us before she flew back to HK. Overall, the food was good but we were not too pleased with the expensive Wagyu beef which was tasteless. Alycia and Sherilyn had cawan mushi, Edamame beans, California roll and some rice with…
Streamyx Sucks
Internet connetion has been very unstable for the past 2 days. A few bloggers and I were unable to get into the sites of 3P, Blogitive and PU2B for 2 days. We thought we were suspended and locked out by these advertisers coz bloggers from other areas in the Klang Valley and East Malaysia were able to…
Can’t Sleep
We had dinner with my elder brother and his family at a chinese restaurant in Chulan Square this evening and I had some very diluted chinese tea. Now, I’m feeling wide awake and just can’t seem to fall asleep. Or is it because I’ve been working too hard for the past few days trying to recover my lost…
Just In Case We Need Them
Know what Tamiflu is? It’s the antidote for bird flu. Nope, none of us have bird flu, knock on wood, choi! Hubby bought a box of it at the height of the bird flu epidemic last year when supply of Tamiflu ran low. My slaphappy and easy-going hubby can be quite far-sighted sometimes. No. of times…
Funky Skins For Gizmos and Gadgets
My Christmas shopping list is still expanding by the day. I now have 15 people on my list which include my family members, hubby’s family and relatives and our friends. I have already written what I intend to buy for these people. I’m always at a loss when it comes to shopping gifts for hubby’s…
Herbal Egg
This is my favorite kind of egg – ‘char tan’ or herbal egg. I normally buy them from the Eu Yan Sang chinese medicine hall near my house. I also love to drink the herbal soup that’s used to boil the egg. At only 60 sen per egg, it’s a cheap and nutricious food. I normally buy 2 – one…
Happy Deepavali Holidays
My eldest brother, his wife and in-laws from Singapore are here in KL for the Deepavali holidays. He came this morning to pass me the money that I’d transferred from my Paypal account to his Singapore bank account. Tonight, we’ll be having dinner at Imbi Palace again. To all those celebrating Deepavali, here’s wishing you ‘happy…
Lap Band Surgery To Combat Obesity
I have an aunt who loves to eat and leads a sedentary lifestyle. She has a job that’s desk-bound, she works late every night, has late dinners and never exercises. She’s overweight and her doctor has given her the red-flag on her weight and her health. She has to loose at least ¼ of her…
Post Amniocentesis – Day 2
Just got back from my gynae’s office. He did an ultrasound scan and told me that everything looks fine. There is no built-up of amniotic fluid outside the sac and there is no bleeding around the area that was poked. Baby’s right kidney still looks dilated. If the Amnio test shows that the baby has normal chromosomes,…
Black Chicken Soup
This is my usual ‘poa pun’ (nutricious stuff in Cantonese) during my pregnancy – black chicken soup with snow fungus, wolfberries and red dates. Black chicken is known to be more nutricious than regular chicken. During my previous pregnancies, my mil or my former maids would chop and crush the black chicken into pieces before putting the chicken into a special double boiler with holes…
Environmental Friendly Soy Candles
I am a big supporter of environmental-friendly and non-toxic products. I try to buy bio-degradable aerosols and I’ve even stopped using my aromatherapy candles that are made of petroleum based waxed. It’s hard to find non-toxic and bio-degradable candles here and there’s only one website that I know of that sells them. Caterpillars Candles is…
