FollowFor weeks, I had been eyeing the last stick of Mini Magnum that had been sitting in the freezer. Each time I opened the freezer door to take bread and frozen dish, the Mini Magnum seduced me invitingly. But my girls were always around. Today, my cough is better. I was itching to rip apart…

My Precious Baby… and An Unforgettable Journey
Before my girls came along, I told God that I would do anything for Him if only He could grant me a child. I was desperately longing for a baby but faced so much problems trying to conceive and sustain a pregnancy. I was often on the verge of crying after attending full-moon parties thrown…
Business Minded!
Yesterday Alycia came home from school grinning away. Half way through lunch, she went to her school bag and dug out something and happily told me that her friend gave her an Angry Bird plastic zip-type pencil case. This girl of mine has been absolutely crazy over Angry Birds lately. She sleeps with her Angry…
Good Question
It was raining just now and still is. While having lunch of mushroom soup pasta, rascal #2 asked me this question while staring at the top of the huge rainforest trees that can be seen from the 5th floor of our unit. Very often huge bee hives and perhaps bird’s nests on the trees can…
Healthy Chips Made From Soy, Flaxseed, Organic Corns and Sea Salt
Here’s my latest stress buster – When I am stressed out to the max by the girls and with work, I munch on feel-good comfort food like this. This Food For Friends tortilla chips are made from organic soy grits, organic stone ground yellow corns, lots of organic brown flaxseeds, lime and sea salt. Not…
Learning From Their New iPad2
Rascal #2 learns very well in an environment that has elements of fun peppered with lots of visual and audio enhancement. She likes sounds and colors, not the boring black and white words and numbers. So our new iPad2 is now her best tutor. I love Apple for creating such wonderful apps for kids in…
Our Weekend
My girls look forward to Saturdays and Sundays as I will bring them to the park in the morning. After jogging and playing in the park, we will walk to the nearby coffee shop to have breakfast, then walk home. After 1-2hours of fun and exercise, I find that their minds are better conditioned to…

Nanny 911 Needed
I am currently facing a big issue with my #2. She is an extremely whiny, screamy and crabby child. At 6years 5 months, she cries, screams and throws tantrums every single day. She is late for school everyday as she has trouble waking up, drinking her milk, washing herself up and dressing up. When told to…
My Snyder’s Cheddar Cheese Pretzels
I love Snyder’s Cheddar Cheese Pretzels. It’s one of my simple indulgences to break away from stress at home. I lost my voice last week, from a minor throat infection which I got it from Alycia. I self treated myself without the need to go to the GP to get antibiotics by gargling my throat…
Bound!
Baby and Alycia
A few nights ago, Alycia was fuming mad and whining away non-stop when she could not find some cards that her classmate had given her. This girl is very fond of having an outburst, which results in fits of rage and bawling whenever she cannot find her school books or other stuff. When Baby heard…
Braised Pork Ribs with Yam
If I prepare simple sustenance for lunch, I’ll ensure that there is something more ‘proper’ for dinner. If my girls have sandwiches or porridge for lunch, I will prepare dishes that are more meaty like braised pork ribs, chicken or fried fish for dinner. Braised pork ribs with yam is one of the more popular…
Kids Say The Darndest Things
Terriyaki Chicken Sandwich
My kids are getting fed up with having fried noodles, fried rice, noodles, pasta and spaghetti for lunch. So I whipped up sometime different for them – Chicken Terriyaki sandwich complete with lettuce, mayo, cheese and cucumbers…. Subway style! I marinated the chicken breast fillet with some Kikoman Terriyaki sauce and black pepper, then pan…
