Happy Birthday Mummy
Daddy brought us for dinner at the Japanese restaurant at PJ Hilton last night as it was mummy’s birthday. After dinner, we came home to sing happy birthday to mummy, blew the candles and cut the cake. Though it was mummy’s birthday, we stole her thunder and we treated it like it was our birthday…. as usual. Daddy bought mummy a…
Everyone Loves Pretty Bathroom Vanities
There are two places in my home that I just love to decorate – my bedroom and the bathroom attached to the master bedroom. I already have in my mind how I would like my bedroom and bathrooms to be decorated. If our budget permits, I would love for our bathrooms to have pretty bathroom…

A Fountain In Your Home
One Tough Cookie
Two days ago, as I was busy in the wet kitchen teaching my maid cooking, Sherilyn the ever hyper-active rascal cut her lower lip when she was jumping up and down and knocked her lip on the sides of the playpen. Alycia who saw Sherilyn bleeding on the lip was yelling out to me telling…
Ballerina In The Making
Here are some pix which I took during Alycia’s ballet class yesterday. Though parents are not allowed to go inside the class, I managed to discreetly snap some pix. The students lining up for their turn to walk tip-top, chest out, hands on waist and head raised, towards the teacher. Alycia is the second tallest in the…
How Much Did Your Urut Lady Charge You?
I did not engage a Malay Urut Lady (masseurs) after I delivered Alycia 4 years ago. I had a bad case of ‘yup foong‘ (literally means wind has entered your body in Chinese, which will cause a host of pains in the body). I suffered from Carpal Tunnel Syndrome and Bronchitis for several months. After I…
No Flowers Or Gifts
My hubby never bought me any flowers or gifts after I had delivered Alycia and Sherilyn. Even my dad who is considered a ‘china man’ and conservative in his thinking brought flowers and a card for my mum when he visited her in the hospital after she had given birth to my 2 brothers and me.…

We had lunch at Delicious @ Bangsar Village on Monday and ordered these for our desserts : Mango cheese cakes with chunks of fresh mango bits and shreds of lemon grass (serai). Apple and peach crumble with vanilla ice-cream. Verdict – the mango cheese cake was good but I…
Mail Order Brides
Have you heard of the term mail order bride? Nope, it is not ordering a bride through mail but is a label applied to a woman who formally publishes her intent to marry a man from another, usually more developed country than her own. Most of the women referred to as mail order brides list…
That’s My PaPa
That’s Alycia’s drawing of papa (father in Mandarin). Don’t you think it looks like a scarecrow? I had a hard time teaching Alycia write the character papa in Mandarin. Though I had dotted out the word for her, she still could not remember the order of the strokes. Each time she does her Mandarin homework,…
Workbench For My Wet Kitchen
Our wet kitchen is in our backyard. There is only an L-shaped counter top for us to place a stove. Each time I cook, things will be scattered everywhere on the counter top. I’ve seen some durable, mobile and flexible workbenches from Formaspace and it would be good if I can place a Workbench in…
