FollowAlycia has a new ambition now. It is an ambition that is not too difficult to achieve, considering that she is addicted to the computer and she likes to loiter at Google during her free time. All she needs to do now is to study hard, ace in school, college and university. That’s what I…

When It Rains It Pours For Days!
The jinx seems to be flying around me since last week. First, my car was hit. Two days later, the AVR switch for my computer got burnt. Today, my washing machine konked out on me! Why oh why must it be my washing machine? Next to the computer, I can’t live without my washing machine.…
Brainwashing Statement
Whenever Alycia and Sherilyn pass remarks like “are we bringing bread to school AGAIN tomorrow?”, I will reply “YES!”. “Strawberry jam/ kaya/peanut butter again??” and I will reply “YES!!” “I am SO SICK of strawberry jam / kaya/peanut butter mummy!” And my standard long reply would go… “when I was your age, my mummy, your…
Second Bout Of Jinx Explosion
… and it happened this morning! I was working on an invoice for a customer when the Excel file started to act up and then went ‘hang’.

For weeks, Sherilyn’s bff, B has been persuading her to have a joint birthday party at the pool-side of our condo. B’s birthday is on 15 February and Sherilyn’s on 16 February.

Cassandra’s 1st Appointment With Nephrologist & Urologist at HKL
Yesterday was the first time I stepped foot into the grounds of HKL (Hospital KL), the place that has always given me the creeps each time I pass by this building. When I was working in the HR Dept of a bank yonks ago, our HR Manager and Assistant Managers would visit staff who were…
Health Check Week
This week is a health check week for us. Yesterday, I did my pap smear, vaginal ultrasound scan and ultrasound scan of boops. Findings ain’t 100% rosy but good news is surgery is not really necessary. My gynae said that the choice is mine – I can choose to undergo a surgery or choose another…
Clean Freak
In commenting to my earlier post on ‘Quirky Freaky Bloke’, one of my readers commented that I should bring a can of air freshener to the gym to deodorize the air if the quirky bloke farts again. Hmmm, perhaps I should do just that, instead of stepping down from the machine to leave the gym. …

A Glimpse of Chinese New Year 2014
Chinese New Year 2014
We broke our tradition for CNY this year. Every year if the MIL is here, she would cook ‘jai’ (vegetarian food) on the first day of CNY. There would be a stir-fried vegetarian vermicelli and a ‘jai’ dish (dish made up of Chinese cabbage, wood fungus, mushrooms, golden needle mushrooms, glass noodles and fermented red…
