FollowWe had a very simple dinner of home-cooked fried rice at home today. The hubs has been busy this week, thus unable to have dinner with us this Saturday night. My kitchen is usually closed on Saturdays and Sundays. Five days of cooking is enough for me. I had wanted to bring the kids to…

Friday Evening Fun
Alycia and I had our Friday evening ‘escapade’ again today. While Sherilyn and Cass were attending art class, we quickly sneaked off to the night market to gobble down a few skewers of fish balls and meat balls on the ‘look look’ van. We did that last Friday and Alycia enjoyed it so much that…
Chicken Adobo And Homemade Mashed Potato
I made Chicken Adobo and mashed potatoes (at the request of the girls) for dinner tonight. It was my first time cooking Chicken Adobo, which is a Filipino dish. I saw this recipe in Nami’s Just One Cookbook the other night and since I had all the ingredients plus it was super easy to cook…
Grilled Agave Nectar Soy Sauce Chicken Drummets
This is another super easy to whip up dish that is really lip-smacking, which I’ll bet kids and adults will love – grilled honey soy sauce chicken drummets. In my case, I replaced honey with agave nectar. Agave nectar is a healthier alternative to sugar and honey. It has lower calories, lower GI and has…
For Once
For once, my camera-shy girl asked me to snap a picture of her when she tried on Sherilyn’s glasses to clown around. During the school holidays, when she is free from homework pressure, this girl has a way cheerier disposition vs. grumpy and crabby on school-going days. If she sees this picture in my blog,…
Electromagnetic Acupuncture
On top of the daily therapy exercises on the fitball, trampoline, gripping exercise and pelvic floor exercise, Cass went for her first electromagnetic acupuncture session on Tuesday to treat her bladder issue. Though I have read that acupuncture and electromagnetic acupuncture can be effective in treating weak bladder issues, I am not sure if it…
Blog Revamp
For the past 2 weeks, I have been facing infinite number of issues with this blog and my Health Is Wealth blog. According to the host, my blogs have been infected by some malware. Both the host and I have been doing a lot of checks, trials and errors and no permanent solution could be…
Heart-Shaped Babybel Cheese On Crackers
Today Alycia finally had the time to enjoy her breakfast leisurely without any rush to go to school, tuition, church or anywhere! She took out a Babybel cheese from the fridge and a pack of Meiji crackers and cut the cheese into small pieces for her crackers. Then she called out to me… “mummy look,…
Homemade Japanese Potato Salad
The girls had been bugging me to make Japanese potato salad since months ago. I had been putting it off until their exams were over. Actually it ain’t very difficult or very messy to make potato salad. It is just time consuming since there are lots of peeling, cutting, boiling, mashing and mixing involved. Thankfully…
And Finally, The Report Cards
As the final school term is fast drawing to an end, with just 2 more school days to go, the much awaited report cards came back for tiger mommy to review and sign! Sherilyn brought back her report card yesterday. She also helped to pick up Alycia’s report card from the teacher. Alycia has been…
Preventing Cancer as a Family
“Prevention is better than cure”, we have often hear this, but how many of us actually practice it? All of us are aware of the threat posed by cancer, and there are actually many simple ways that we can practice together as a family to lower the risk of getting cancer. Adopting a healthy lifestyle…
Oven-Grilled Onion Chicken Chop
Here’s another oven-grilled meat dish that I whipped up for the girls. My most critical and persnickety daughter said “mummy, I’ll give you an A+++ for this dish!” That sure was a very motivational remark to make me dish up more delish oven-grilled meat dish for them 😀 Picture below shows the chicken before the…
What Do You Do If You Are Grossly Overcharged For Some Avocados?
Get a refund!! Though it may cause you some inconveniences of having to make a trip back to the mall. Yesterday, I bought 2 pieces of avocados from Cold Storage at The Gardens. They were RM3.99 each. I should be billed RM7.98 for the 2 avos but the cashier keyed an entirely wrong code during…
Herbs And Garlic Grilled Black Pomfret Fish
Our Sunday – 3 November 2013
Today has been yet another very satisfying retail therapy day for moi! After the first round of retail therapy at Gardens and Mid Valley yesterday, today we first went to Tesco to get some household items and then adjourned to Pavillion for lunch and another bigger round of retail therapy for me muahahaha! Before I…
Exam’s Over And The Book Worms Are Out To Feast On The Story Books!
The girls are finally done and over with exams for this year, woohoooo! Now is the time that they can bury their faces into their story books without limit. TV is still limited and must be earned and redeemed via good behavior *ROARS tiger mommy* Today, we brought the girls to redeem their reward. I…
