FollowI am planning to send our kids for swimming lessons next year. Swimming is a survival skill and it’s best to let our kids learn this survival skill as soon as possible. I do have a problem however. We don’t live in a condominium where we can use the pool facility and it would be…

Lots of Excuses
Manny Pacquiao vs. Juan Manuel Marquez rematch
If you are a fan of boxing, I am sure you will be really excited to know that Manny Pacquiao and Juan Manuel Marquez are scheduled for a rematch on March 15 2008 at Mandalay Bay in Las Vegas, Nevada. This is indeed a much-anticipated rematch for boxing fans after their historic fight in May…
Teppanyaki Ice-Cream
We had our first try of Teppanyaki ice-cream at the Latest Recipe Coffee House @ Le Meridien Hotel last Sunday. I chosed a green tea ice-cream, vanilla ice-cream, some pistachios, peanuts and almonds and the teppanyaki chef ‘cooked’ them on a flat ice-plate. Really intriguing and unusual; so far, I’ve only seen this at Hilton Sentral and Le Meridien…
Goofing Around
Alycia and Sherilyn love doing silly things and goofing around. It’s nice to see them play and have so much fun with each other but worrying at the same time coz sometimes they don’t realize that they are playing a tad too rough with each other and minor accidents had occured before. When I hear…
A Day Of Puking
First, it was Miss Pukey Sherilyn when she choked on her banana this evening. Despite me telling her to take small bites, she put the last bite of the banana into her tiny mouth, had difficulty chewing it, choked and puked. Luckily I had plastic bags at every nook and corner of the house. I quickly…
Yearning To Get That Job Promotion?
You have always dreamed of a job promotion and have worked very hard for years but each time a promotion is announced in your department, you are always left out. You feel dejected and your superior informs you that in order to get a promotion, you need a degree as the job calls for a…
Tasty Fish Soup
This is a pot of steaming hot, tasty and sweet fish soup boiled with ‘kau yue’ (is it called Mackeral in English?) bones, head, tomatoes, garlic and slices of ginger. The soup goes very well with noodles. I had made some fish paste last week and used the fish bones to make some soup. Do check…
Relief For Dry and Peeling Skin
The Best Gift
One of the best gifts we parents could give our kids to ensure that they have a bright and secure future is a solid foundation with good values and tertiary education. It is every parent’s dream to provide the best education to their kids but not every parent can afford to send their kids abroad to…
Our Simple Dinner
We normally have 3 dishes for dinner – a must-have stir-fried vegetables, a fish or a chicken and an egg or tofu dish or another vegetables dish. Are these a lot? Hubby usually doesn’t join us for dinner as he works late and doesn’t like bland food (what an insult to my cooking eh?) catered…
Visiting Niagara Falls
The year is fast drawing to an end. If you still have some annual leave to clear, quick book your holiday now and utilize your leave before they are forfeited when the new year starts. One country with the widest selection of cities for you to choose from to visit is no other than the…
Butterfingers
Sherilyn tends to have butterfingers. She drops her food most of the time and spills water 9 out of 10 times she is given a cup of water. When she drops something that she loves to eat, she will waaaaail out really loud and this would touch daddy or mummy’s hearts instantly. One time she dropped her…
Find Your Soul Mate Through Phone Chats
Many of us don’t believe that a genuine long-term relationship can be established through chat rooms or online dating services. I do not think so as I have a friend who has found her soul mate through a chat room. It all started with a simple chat on the phone and that relationship blossomed beautifully…
Sunday School Party
Yesterday, there was a Christmas cum birthday celebration party at Alycia and Sherilyn’s sunday school. There was a Mickey Mouse pandan layer cake for kids whose birthdays fall in the month of November and December. The kids were given candy canes, nuggets and party packs. Alycia, my Miss Shy Fly being shy and aloof when asked to…
Latest Recipe Cofee House, Le Meridien Hotel
We had buffet lunch at Latest Recipe Coffee House @ Le Meridien Hotel today. There was a wide assortment of food on the buffet spread ranging from Japanese (sushi, sashimi, teppanyaki), Western, Indian, Chinese and local. Though the spread of food was wide, hubby and I didn’t eat much as hubby’s having a flu and…
