Thursday, 25 February 2021 MCO Lunner – Homemade Sukiyaki
We had a sumptuous lunner of Sukiyaki prepped by chef Sherilyn today! The Sukiyaki sauce is made from scratch and it’s actually very simple. Only 3 ingredients are required: soy sauce, mirin and sugar. We omitted sake as we don’t have it. This is really delish and not salty, unlike super salty ones from restaurants. …
Why I Love Cardigans
Whether you work in a formal or casual setting, you need a few good office cardigans. This knitwear staple can be dressed up or down and paired with so many outfits. When I was working in a corporate setting yonks ago, I had a wardrobe filled with cardigans in all my favorite colors. This women’s…

A Little Kitten At Home
Despite having to discard Haru’s poop and pee like 100x a day, empty her litter box and disinfect it with PECA water twice weekly, feed her at 6am even before I feed myself and entertain her throughout the day, Haru is a joy in our lives. She brings much laughter to everyone, except for the…
Wedding Suits For Long Awaited Weddings

Yearly Pap Smear and Screening
The time of the year is here again. Today is my yearly pap smear and screening at my gynae’s clinic. I’m feeling extra anxious this year. I know I’ve not been too kind to my body with all the stress, anxiety and other negative emotions that I’ve been feeding my mind the past one year.…
Charm Jewelry For Everyone
As a little girl, Alycia wasn’t vain. She preferred pants over dresses and skirts. She never liked any sort of costume jewelry, belts and didn’t even like to carry any kind of tote bag, sling bag or handbag except for her school bag. She’s a polar opposite of Sherilyn, the vain little girl who always…
Switching High School
After a month of attending online classes at her new high school (SMK/public school), Cass finally told me that she wanted to switch school – back to the initial high school of her choice, which is a coveted independent Chinese high school (ICHS). She passed the entrance exam in December last year and was accepted…
Updates on Haru Our Pet Kitten
We started feeding Haru with wet kitten food last week, when she’s about 7-8 weeks old. We’re not exactly sure how old she is though. She absolutely loves her Whiskas tuna and mackeral fish. She got so excited trying her first real food that her body was shaking with excitement ? and she whined like a puppy…
Chinese New Year 2021
Chinese New Year this year is celebrated on a whole different level with no traveling back to our hometown, no house visiting, no mall visiting, no lion dance, no nothing but just sitting at home. The girls miss playing fire crackers with their Singaporean cousins in Ipoh, enjoying koong koong’s homecooked dishes and granny’s cookies.…
Some Facts About Haru, Our Pet Kitten
We Love Haru ?
Alycia did something totally out of our imagination yesterday. While Sherilyn and I were out to buy Haru’s formula milk, Alycia heard Haru meowing. We now know that Haru only meows to let us know that she needs to pee, poo or is hungry. So the girl went to check on Haru and with a…
Haru In Our Lives
Haru is very much loved by her two human sisters. Sherilyn now sleeps early so that she could wake up by 7am to feed Haru. And Cass would pacify Haru whenever she craves for attention – she would place Haru on her lap while she practises the piano or does her stuff on the computer.…
