I Can Wear This, Mummy!

Do you have any idea why my little Miss Vain Pot is posing here?


My mum brought back some of the newborn baby clothes that Alycia used to wear, from Ipoh 2 weeks ago. I had put the plastic bag of old clothes in the laundry basket for my maid to wash them in the washing machine. As curious as ever, my 2 kay poh chees (nosy parker) began to rummage through the bag of old clothes and as expected, Sherilyn fished out  one of the newborn baby vests


and walked around the house parading the vest, nonchalantly.  My mum and I were so stunned that Sherilyn managed to wear the newborn baby vest and she made us all laughed really hard.

Can you believe Sherilyn can still squeeze herself into this tiny vest for new babies from Mothercare?  That’s how petite she is!

I remember I used to wear vests like this in the mid 90s and I think Sherilyn looked really cute in this vest, LOL!

Yummylicious Desserts

Are these sinful desserts making you salivate now? 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 didn’t quite like the apple and peach crumble.  I should have ordered the banana pudding instead.

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 themselves on the internet and communicate /date regularly with their intended husband prior to marriage.  Most of the mail order brides hail from developing countries like Russia, Ukraine, Moldova, Colombia, Venezuela, Thailand, Mexico, Vietnam, China, India and Philippines.  Dating agencies such as loversplanet.com, a Russian dating website have scores of pretty Russian girls who are genuinely looking for husbands from developed countries.  If you are looking for a soul mate too, do check out loversplanet.com and get yourself listed as a mail order husband!

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, I will have to watch her carefully and ensure that the strokes are written in the right order.  Towards the last few words, Alycia finally managed to follow the dots on the words in the correct order.    She has no problems writing words with simple and few strokes (even if they are without dotted lines) but when the word has more than 6 strokes, she tends to forget the order.  Alycia can now recognize a few Chinese words.

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 the backyard. Cooking will be made easier and more organized if I can lay out all the ingredients, sauces, plates, chopper and chopping board on the workbench.
