We came back from Singapore late last night after an 11-hour crawl back from Singapore. We left Singapore at 11:30 a.m., went through the Tuas Checkpoint pretty smoothly without any traffic jam and thought that luck was on our side. But we were so wrong. A few minutes after we left the Tuas Checkpoint, we…

Back In KL
Our ETS ride from Ipoh to KL Sentral today was a tad eventful. A few minutes after the train dropped off passengers at the Sg. Buloh station, the air conditioning and lights in the train were out. Suddenly the train stopped short smack-bang in the middle of no where. Then an announcement came. The train…
Tour Of Gua Tempurung, Gopeng
Today papa drove us to Gua Tempurung, one of the largest limestone caves in Peninsular Malaysia.

We left the…

Our Wednesday, 6 Dec 2017
Life with only a child is pretty free and easy! Now I understand how my friends with only one child have so much more time than me to do things that they love. With only Cass to care and cook for, I find I have so much extra time on hand. I could finish cooking…

The 9 months of my pregnancy was fraught with stumbling blocks one…

Women Love And Deserve Flowers
I’ve always been telling my hubs not to waste money on flowers as they will wilt and die anyway. Truth is I still like flowers despite this. In fact, most women love flowers. Yes, we women do love to be spoiled sometimes and no, the gifts don’t always need to be tangible and expensive. We do…
Post Antibiotics
My breakfast today is rich in probiotics and prebiotics to replenish the soldiers in my guts (good bacteria) after a 10-day course of antibiotics, which ended yesterday: Skinny sugar-free yoghurt with granola, raw instant organic rolled oats, raw organic pumpkin seeds and mum’s homemade Mackeral fish floss drizzled with palm syrup. Not forgetting a pouch…
