FollowWe were back in Ipoh at my parents last weekend. I saw a stall selling durians and being the durian fanatic that I am, I told hubs and my mum that I wanted to get some durians to feast on. When I see durians, my weight-watching plan is immediately thrown out of the window! And…

Sherilyn’s Grade 2 Ballet Exam

We Are Back In Ipoh!
We are back in the land that many beauty queens originate from, the land of pomelos, scenic limestone hills, crunchy bean sprouts and haven for one of the best hawkers fare in the world, my beloved Ipoh! This morning, Alycia and Sherilyn participated in the yearly All Souls Day or Qing Ming with their daddy,…
A Bite Of East and West
Had this for breakkie this morning… My fusion creation of east meeting west — homemade walnut-rye bread with Surgers butter, drizzled with maple syrup from Canada and topped with freshly grated coconut, simply wholesome and yummy! As usual my breakfast will only be complete after downing a hot mug of Japanese matcha. I am very…
The Girls Helped To Make Buckwheat Noodles
Last Saturday, grandma wanted to make buckwheat noodles (from scratch) for lunch. With under 1 hour to knead the dough, cut the dough into strips, prepare the anchovies soup and all, so that rascal #2 could eat her lunch on time before going for ballet class, everyone stopped what they were doing to lend a…
Now You See It, Now You Don’t!
She may look demure and as if butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth, but when she sees food, this girl with an insatiable appetite is capable of doing anything and I mean anything… not even the harshest of threats can stop her from shoving forbidden food into her mouth at times. Well, that’s the way…
Our Saturday – 16 March 2013
On most Saturday mornings, I would walk to the nearby coffee shops with the girls to take away breakfast. Walking in the morning sun helps to give us the dosage of Vitamin D that we need. Kids these days are hardly exposed to the morning sun. They are shuttled off to school way before they…
Motherhood Uncensored 2
On the eve of Alycia’s BM test early last week, I suddenly remembered that I had not gone through ‘Nilai Murni’ (which literally means pure values if translated directly from BM to English using Google Translate. It is all the good values that one should possess ) with her. And my cool as cucumber daughter…
Healthy Granola Recipe
Homemade Biscotti
The mil made some crunchy-licious Biscotti yesterday. After the Biscotti were removed from the oven and left to cool, the girls and I could stop laying our hands on the lip-smacking Biscotti. They were really delish and addictive. Best to savor these Biscotti with coffee or tea! I’ll bet the needle on my weighing machine…
Motherhood Uncensored
Our Saturday – 9 March 2013
It’s an outing day for us today as Alycia’s 1st term exam is over, yipeeee!! In the morning, we went jogging. And in this picture, we were waiting for daddy to pick us up to send Sherilyn for her ballet class. After sending Sherilyn for ballet, we had a second round of light lunch at…
Life Is Never A Bore When You Have Mischievous Kids
I mentioned in my earlier post that in my motherhood journey, I encounter and grapple with problems related to my kids everyday. Almost everyday, I face a new ‘juicy’ issue to jolt me up from the jadedness of being a WFHM. Today, when I picked Cass up from school, I just had a hunch that…
First Term Exam
Not even 15 minutes into revising for her exam and she’s already conked out! That’s the problem with this girl of mine. She is the type who requires lots of sleep. Should she be asked to do homework or anything that requires using her brainpower when she is sleep or nap deprived, I am sure…
