After a 3-day-2-night stay in the jungle doing ‘camping in style’, I am SO SO glad that we are back home. To civilization! During our stay in the forest reserve, we were up close and personal with nature. Though the rustic villa at Ratu Rening was breathtaking, I just could not live comfortably without an…
In under an hour’s time, we will be off to Ratu Rening (near Genting Highlands / Batang Kali) for a weekend getaway with our usual group of buddies and their kiddos. Hubs and I have been friends with these group of friends since we were teenagers. Our girls and their kids have been friends since…
Since yesterday, Cass has been spending hours on end learning how to sew. I have been too busy to teach her sewing and grandma isn’t feeling well. But so determined is this little fella to learn how to sew that she asked her grandma for old cloth scraps and rummaged through her drawers to hunt…
This is by far one of the most inspiring stories I’ve heard. It is a true story of a 74-year old sickly farmer with a switch of fate – from sickly to healthy and from poor to rich after he consumed hydrogen infused water and a supplement containing carotenoids in the hope of treating his…
The mil came back from Hong Kong after being away for 4 months. As usual, she brought back lots of goodies from Hong Kong, New Zealand, Korea and Japan.

Muahahahahahahahah!” I was overjoyed to…

If you’re ready to enter the workplace again after staying home to raise your young children, there are plenty of opportunities that could be yours. While you may need to…
We had a light dinner at Seng Kee Kitchen, our favorite neighborhood Chinese tai chau restaurant on Saturday. Prior to that, hubs brought home some roast leg of lamb from his shop for us to try. It was roasted using a new industrial combi oven that he had recently purchased. Thus, we were already half…
My Facebook news feed has been flooded with mummies posting about their kids’ school exam achievements and UPSR exam achievements for the last few days. UPSR 2016 results were announced yesterday. This year the percentage of students who scored straight As is only 1.1% in the entire Malaysia vs. 17.7% last year! That’s a stark…
I created this new dish for dinner yesterday! Tomyam pork is so easy to cook and so yummy that you would think I am not revealing all the steps and ingredients. Once you have all the ingredients, this dish is a total child’s play. Even Drama Queen can whip this out on her own. She did…
