Our Cambodian Maid
….. can really ‘kaik sei ngor’ (can really anger me till death). Though she’s hardworking, some of the things she does can really kaik sei ngor. She tries to be efficient by putting the dirty clothes into the washing machine whenever she sees them in the laundry basket, even if there were only a few pieces…

Fish Spa
Since our plan to visit the Fish Spa at Pavillion did not materializ on New Year’s Eve, we finally made a trip there today. It was an eye-opener and an experience of a life-time but I would not go for another session. I’d rather go for a proper feet massage done by human. The feeling…

Pregnancy At Week 26+
I went for my pre-natal check-up today. The ultrasound scan revealed that my baby’s right kidney is still mildly dilated. The umbilical cord is also round her neck in a single loop. When I heard my ObG telling me that, I was really worried but my ObG was so blase about it and told me it’s very…

My mil is back from Hong Kong for 1.5 weeks but she will be away for an overseas holiday during the CNY before coming back to KL and will stay on until I have delivered the baby in April. She brought back 2 huge suit cases and 1 carton box of Disney souvenirs, Disney cookies, chocolates, Manuka…
Sherilyn Hates Our New Maid
There just isn’t any chemistry between my new maid and Sherilyn. When Sherilyn saw our new Cambodian temp maid for the first time, she had just woken up from her nap. She was sobbing away on the mattress as I was talking to the maid agent. When I asked her why she was crying, she…
Relief For Varicose Veins
I finally bought myself a pair of support stockings from the pharmacy to relief the bulging varicose veins on my legs. The pair of stockings cost me RM89, freaking expensive! Though I had bought the stockings for 3 days already, I had only worn it once for half a day yesterday. It’s really troublesome to…

My Three Miracles Of Life
Any woman who has gone through infertility would understand how painful it is – both emotionally and physically and also strenuous on one’s pocket. I know it as I had gone through years of infertility before I had Alycia. I had sought various invasive methods of infertility treatments which include taking several rounds of Clomid, underwent a…
Homecooked Food vs Outside Food
After enjoying delicious homecooked food catered from Aly and Sher’s former nanny for 2 days on Monday and Tuesday, we had to eat outside food for 2 days straight, 2 meals a day since Wednesday as the nanny had to go outstation for a couple of days. The nanny is really a great cook and can cook…
Pregnancy and Parenting Guide
Do you remember the very first time you said “ Honey, I am pregnant” to your hubby when the pregnancy test kit showed a double line? I still remember that particular day vividly. We were at the fertility clinic and the urine test results showed a positive. Hubby and I had gone through years of…
My 2 Little Laundry Helpers
My 2 little ardent helpers helping granny fold the laundry. Without a kakak around has to some extent brought out the positive and helpful side in Alycia and Sherilyn. Last night, I was really touched when Alycia said this to me when she saw me folding the laundry “mummy, since I have the time, I can…
Alycia’s 1st Day Of School – Year 2
Yesterday was Alycia’s first day of school this year. Though this is her 2nd year in pre-school, she had only attended less than 4 months of classes last year. During the first month of pre-school, she kept falling ill (twice a month) and I pulled her out from pre-school in the second month. She only…
