Simple & Wholesome Dishes For Busy Moms
For the past one week, I’ve been sitting in front of my computer typing away from morning till night with short breaks in between to cook and chauffeur the girls. Since early last week, I’ve churned out over 30 articles, most of which must be submitted to the advertiser within 24 hours. On some days,…
Flower Girl Dresses
At a church wedding of a very close pal last Saturday, I watched with envy cute little girls dressed up in kids high low dresses and flower girl dresses as they paraded into the church sanctuary holding flowers. It reminded me of the time when Sherilyn was a flower girl at her Sunday School teachers’…
Losing Weight The Natural Way, Without Exercise :D
The one advantage of falling sick and being crazy busy is that you lose weight, naturally, without exercise. And that’s just what happened to me. It all started several months ago when our part-time maid of 6 years went back to Indonesia for 6 weeks to get married. Without her coming to help us out…

Regular exercise can bring about some important health benefits. However, it’s important to talk to your doctor before starting an exercise routine. He or…
My First Dish Cooked With The Philips Pressure Cooker
The very first time I used my new Philips Pressure Cooker (PPC) was last week. I was a nervous wreck as I was worried that I would cause an ‘explosion’ and scar my pretty face (ahem!) if I release the pressure regulator at the wrong time. I have heard of horror stories on ‘explosion’ while…
Kick-ass Kickboxing Girls
Alycia and Sherilyn are both attending kickboxing and Muay Thai classes now. They love it! Well, my girls are not really girls. They prefer to indulge in boys’ stuff. When Alycia was about 7 or 8 years old, she was obsessed with Ultraman, guns and Doraemon and then progressed to something called One Piece figures (some…

The mil left for her 1.5 months long vacation in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan yesterday. Her departure means lesser time for myself and more hectic days ahead for me as I will have to be in charge of cooking the children’s meals. For those who read my blogs long enough, you would have read…

Math and Arithmetic in a Montessori Environment
The Montessori approach to education views children as natural learners who are eager to acquire new knowledge from an early age and who benefit from a supportive learning environment. Numbers have a very practical application in a young child’s life, so many Montessori math materials focus on helping children make the mental leap from the world around…

Wednesday, 9 January 2019 ~ 7-Hour Power Outage
On the 9th day of the new year, more than half the households in our neighborhood was plunged into total darkness that lasted over 7 hours. I found out from the Management office today that the power outage was caused by an explosion at the TNB station in Puchong which affected thousands of houses. The…
First Compliment For The Year
Pomegranate Chocolate Cake
My baking queen’s last bake for the year 2018 on 31 December 2018 was a hyper-delicious pomegranate cake, cafe style, complete with decor. It’s pretty unbelievable that a 13-year old baked this! When Sherilyn was much younger, I had suspicion that she had ADHD as she was always hyper-active (and kept getting herself into accidents…
