FollowIt was a low-key celebration again as it was on a school day and the girls have school the next morning. We went to a nearby Japanese restaurant for dinner and then went home for the cake-cutting and camwhoring thingy. Drama Queen trying her hand at strumming ‘Happy Birthday’ with the ukulele. She’s been attending…

Long Silence
Hellooooo everyone! Sorry for the long silence. I’ve been spending days fixing the unloadable photos in my blogs AGAIN. Darn it, this is happening too often. As I was fixing one of the old posts, I read that the last time this happened was on 20 August 2016. I then checked back my most recent…
Times Are Bad
Yesterday I witnessed a thief who was handcuffed by police. That was my very first time witnessing a criminal being apprehended by policemen. As I was entering the supermarket with Alycia, we saw the thief sitting on the stairs leading to the supermarket with a policeman each on his sides guarding him. His hands were…
This Antibiotic Will Ruin You
I had written in my blogs many times before. I am anti-antibiotics. I saw how it wrecked my daughters’ immune system. Being a new mum 14 years ago, I listened obediently to the pediatricians who treated my eldest child by conveniently prescribing her with antibiotics for flu and throat infection. Consequently, she was constantly ill…
Amazing Healthy Snacks From Amazin’ Graze
I received my much-awaited goodies from Amazin’ Graze a few days ago. They are two flavors of granola (salted gula Melaka and hazelnut blackforest), zesty maple glazed nut mix and a bottle of ABC (almond, brazil nut, cashew) butter. All are droolicious! ?? When our girls got home from school, they darted straight into the kitchen to…
Hungry As A Bear
When our girls come home from school each day, the first thing on their mind is to dart into the kitchen. Acting like inspectors, they inspect every nook and corner, every pot and pan on the stove and every drawer to see what’s in for them. Still in their uniform and socks, any cooked food…
Time-Table For Kids
Our Sunday – 12 March 2017
After church service, we had lunch at Paradise Dynasty @ Pearl Point Shopping Gallery. Xiao Long Bao is Paradise Dynasty’s signature and award-winning dish. The xiao long boas sure are droolicious but are a tad pricey. The innovative 8-flavor / color ones (picture below) are priced at RM29 a set. There was a good…
Silly Girl
Today I was totally thunderstruck when Cass told me that she wore her PE t-shirt that her friend had dropped on the school’s wet and dirty toilet floor! If you are a product of Malaysia’s public schools, you will know just how dirty, wet and stinky these toilets are. Totally disgusting. Cass had asked her…
Cabinets For A Kid-Friendly Kitchen
When you have children in the home, you need cabinets that are rather difficult to get into but not at such a level that older children feel that they can’t make their own decisions about what to get to eat. There are a few modifications that you can make to the kitchen cabinets St Louis…
After School Snacks
Wednesdays are CoCo (CoCurricular) days. Drama Queen and Cass will be home late, at around 4ish pm. Whenever they are back from school, they look and behave like feral dogs — they will dart straight to the kitchen to check every nook and corner in search for food. At the sight of food, they will stuff…
How Do I Care For My Eyes?
I received my pair of blue light blocking eye glasses from Naturally Plus today! As I am typing this post at my desktop computer now, I am wearing the glasses to block blue light from damaging my precious assets. I can really see the difference–with the anti-blue light glasses on, my eyes do not get…
Homecooked Lunch – 6 March 2017
“What’s for lunch today?” This is the question that the mil and I would ask each other every morning. Whenever we shrug our shoulders implying a non-verbal “no to outside food”, she would be quick to suggest home cooked food. Then she would stride to the kitchen to defrost meat and hurriedly whip up a…
Our Friday – 4 March 2017
Friday evenings are reserved for the big girl. After picking her up from the Math tuition center, we would jaunt off to the pasar malam if it doesn’t rain. She’s a pretty simple girl who finds gratification taking long walks at the pasar malam, stopping at all her favorite stalls to get her favorite street…
Iron Rich Dishes
My mission to increase my red blood cells continues… Each day, I eat either a handful of dried red dates (about 4 or 5) or drink a few cups of red dates + black dates tonic. In addition, I eat an egg every morning and season the egg with half a teaspoon of organic blackstrap molasses.…
