A Vacation During Chinese New Year

Christmas has come and gone so fast and in just a few weeks’ time, it will be the Chinese New Year. I told hubby that I don’t feel like going back to my hometown this year as I can foresee the traffic is going to be horrendous. What I’d love to do during the Chinese…

Chinese Chestnuts

For a change in variety, I boiled some fresh Chinese chestnuts for the gals for breakfast several days ago. They loved them but it’s quite a laborious task to prepare the chestnuts. First my maid had to boil the chestnuts for at least 2 hours. When they have cooled down, both my maid and I…

A Candle-Light Dinner Tonight

Hubby and I are going to have a candle-light dinner at the Villa Danielli Italian fine dine restaurant @ Sheraton Imperial tonight to celebrate his birthday in advance.  There’s going to be a bottle of red wine for us to toast and a tasty cheese birthday cake too.  But no, it’s not going to be a romantic dinner…

Old Man With An Old Junk

My granduncle who loves to collect vintage cars has a Ford Mustang that is almost as old as I am. For one who does not appreciate old cars, I can’t seem to find any beauty in that old Mustang but my granduncle loves his old junk and still drives around the town in his old…

More Christmas Pressies

When Raymond kau fu (my eldest brother) came to KL last week, he brought X’mas gifts for the gals.  He got them more play dough, a lunch box play dough set and a banquet set play dough set.  That added to their collection of play dough to three sets.  Alycia who loves food and cooking loved…

In A Holiday Mood

Yes I am and I have been waking up late for the past 2 mornings.  Offers have been scarce lately due to the long holidays in the U.S. and there’s no point waking up early to check for offers.  It feels good to be able to sleep up to 7:30am or 8am instead of waking up…

Fanciful Disney Biscuits

  This is the box of fanciful Disney biscuits that sil gave the gals for X’mas – biscuits with prints of Mickey and Minnie Mouse on them.  I thought they wouldn’t taste good as Japanese love to create fanciful food with attractive packaging that don’t taste good but I was wrong.  I am now hooked to these…

Something really funny is going on with my skin.  I am shedding my old skin to get new skin!  Remember I had posted earlier about my dry and peeling skin?  First, the dryness and peeling were on my hands and tummy.  After about 2 months of skin peeling, I noticed several days ago that the…

Want to know what he gave me for X’mas? A bottle of green tea perfume from L’occitane.  Well, I was quite disappointed coz I still have 2 big bottles of Elizabeth Arden green tea perfume in my closet.  Now, I have 3 huge bottles of perfume of the same fragrance!  I have a total of more than…

Merry X’mas Everyone

After church service this morning, we spend the entire day at Mid Valley Megamall. The crowd was horrendous as expected. Spent 20 mins finding a place to park. We had a sumptuous lunch at Purple Cane Tea House at Gardens with the gals’ ‘khai yeh’ (godfather). What I love about their food is that almost…

Find Out More Before You Pop Your Pills

Being a health freak, I have a habit of checking almost all the medication prescribed to me and my kids before we pop those drugs.  I normally surf the internet to check on the ingredients of the drugs, which company manufactured the drugs and what side effects they will cause.  I also have a book…
