FollowHalloween is celebrated on a low scale in our country. But I think we are slowly catching up. We don’t celebrate Halloween and my kids have never attended any Halloween party. Today we spent our evening at Bangsar Village to feel the air of Halloween. Bangsar Village being one of the in places for expats…

Baby and Alycia
They must have been twins or lovers in their previous lives, if there is really such a thing as previous life. She misses her baby sister very much every day when she’s away in school. Each morning before she leaves the house, she will give her baby sister a hug and pinch her cheeks. I…
Behind The Pretty Face….
She may look girlish, is soft-spoken, speaks politely to her teachers and to the elders, demure and very pretty but this girl likes nothing girlish – no Hello Kitty or Princess, no pink, no frills, no sexy frocks, no pretty sandals, NO! She is the exact opposite of Sherilyn. What she likes are toys for…
iZest For Better Posture
Did you ever notice that people who have perfect posture not only look confident but also have a nice physique without a flab on the front? I have been observing and noticing this lately. I have several friends who are not slim, yet they do not have a jelly belly. That’s because they have very…
Tom, Dick & Harry @ The Scott Garden, KL
Tom, Dick & Harry has finally found its way to Old Klang Road as they had recently opened a branch at The Scott Garden, KL, where TESCO is housed. The main Tom, Dick & Harry is located at Jalan Tun Dr Ismail, KL. Like the moniker suggests, this pub-style like eatery is the place for…
Video Skyping With Granny
My parents spoil the girls rotten. My girls know it and they take advantage of goong goong and granny’s indulgence by badgering them for things all the time. Now, they do it through Skype video call! Their latest craze is Smurfs and the ever indulgent granny bought the girls each a very cute Smurfs t-shirt.…
You Look Like An Owl Che Che!
Alycia has been bugging me to trim her hair but busy mummy kept forgetting. Chinese schools are pretty strict with discipline and physical tidiness. If you want long hair – bun it up neatly. If not, make sure the back of your hair does not touch the collar. Duh, what a rule! Anyway, thank God…
Sherilyn And Her Math
So much for all the hair-pulling, stroke-inducing Math drilling sessions with Sherilyn, she came home from pre-school last week and happily told me that her Math teacher praised her for getting all correct for the Math sums. She proudly told me that her teacher informed the principal that she was the fastest in class to…
Why Mummy?
Yesterday, Baby asked me a question which stumped me and had me lost for an answer. Baby – mummy, which is it when people do boxing, they put something white white like bread in the mouth? For a moment, my brain could not process what my 3.5yo toddler was trying to ask me but after…
Finally, After 8 Long Years
For over 8 years, this couple have not had a one-to-one night outing. That’s ever since their 3 precious angels came along. They had sacrificed many couple time together for the sake of their 3 most precious assets. But the day finally came when they could go out again, just the both of them for…
Happy Weekend Peeps!
Here is yet another Bento set for this week for the girls… Sushi bread. I replaced the vinegar Japanese rice with wholemeal walnut bread. Fillings are the same – ultra thin crispy fried eggs, Japanese cucumber and a spread of mayo. Starter was organic papaya and dessert – organic purple and yellow corn tortilla chips,…
Bento Set For A Princess Wannabe
Simple meals can be made to look really appetizing and enticing if you do some ‘touch up’ or ‘make up’ to it, like placing the food in nice bowls, plates and decorating the food. My princess wannabe is one such aesthetic fella. She likes food decorated tastefully and presented to her, like it was fit…
She Talks
This morning after her shower, she stepped onto a strand of long hair on the bathroom floor. As she struggled to pull away the the hair that was entwined on her toes, she said “mummy, the hair likes me a lot” and then said “hair is rambut, right mummy?”. My baby girl, she is still…
Lunch Box For My Princess Wannabe
Exam Season
Fitball To Counter Backache
I started to develop backache after the birth of Alycia. I think the spinal anesthetic given to me during the C-section is the main contributor to the pain. The backache was unbearable during my confinement. It was so pain that I could barely lie on my back. Fourteen months after the first spinal anesthetic, I…
