Our Deepavali Holiday Weekend (29 – 30 Oct 2016)
On Saturday which was Deepavali, we spent our afternoon at Mid Valley and Gardens Mall. Hubs the epicure wanted to try something different and we settled for An Viet @ The Gardens. Good choice made as we enjoyed the delightful and very flavorful authentic cuisine of Vietnam, comprising mainly of fresh aromatic leaves, flowers and…
Molecular Hydrogen in the Huffington Post
Today I read an interesting article on “Hydrogen Water Could Help Reduce Free Radical Activity” in the Huffington Post dated 30 August 2016. WOW! For those of you who had emailed me with skepticism on hydrogen water, do give this article a read ya 😉 Yes I know our regular tap water has hydrogen but this particular…
Kids Friendly Avocado Mushroom Pasta
It’s been a while since I last cooked mushroom pasta. I am not a fan at all of anything creamy with milk / whipped cream cooked into a savoury dish. So is the big girl. Only Drama Queen likes creamy pastas, especially Carbonara. This time, I decided to be a tad adventurous and added avocado…
Sick Girl
Drama Queen woke up feeling sluggish yesterday morning. She sat at the dining chair staring blankly at her toast when she got up from bed, then sat on her bed after her shower staring into space and looked pretty unusual of herself. I immediately asked her if she was feeling OK and she told me…
Heart-Stopping Moment
I had a heart-stopping moment today. At around the time when I was supposed to go down to the lobby to wait for Cass to arrive home, I received a call from her class teacher. OH. NO!! Calls from the schools and teachers are NEVER good. Never once good. My heart literally stopped for a…
Final Exams Are Over!
Stroke and Heart Attack
I get heart flutters or heart palpitations whenever I get very angry. My heart flutters also increase in frequency if I do not get enough sleep and have been stressed out. I always tell my kids not to irate me too much, lest they see me collapse right in front of their eyes due to…

Exam Fever
Exercise And Eating Clean
Before I share what I cooked again, I’d like to share with you some of my many accounts in my Journey To Fitness. Just in case my posts on food and nothing-to-shout-about dishes bore you to brink of death 😀 All food and no exercise spells trouble for your body and I kid you not. Exercise…
Monday Dinner – 10 Oct 2016
Dishes on Mondays are normally kept simple and sweat-free. I keep them simple as I know I will most likely be bogged down with work after the weekend and Monday Blues. Today’s dinner consists of grilled chicken and grilled salmon head. I cranked up the oven and in went the 2 trays of meat. While…
Our Sunday – 9 Oct 2016
Today is the eve of the big princess’ final exam whereas next Sunday will be Drama Queen and Cass’ turn. The heat of the exam fever is burning in the house! Hubs was still in Ipoh for a gathering with his former classmates, leaving just us girls at home on a Sunday. Just before we…
Curry Minced Pork And Baked Garoupa With Wholemeal Bread Crumbs
Here’s the home-cooked dinner dished out with lotsa love from me for the girls yesterday 🙂 Kids-friendly curry minced pork with potatoes, tomatoes, coriander, onions and lots of curry leaves and kafir lime leaves. It is kids-friendly as the spiciness level is very mild. And it is free from bones. Pork used is Berkcious pork,…
