Throes Of Motherhood
Sorry for the lack of updates in my blog for the past 2 weeks. These days, I try very hard to force myself to be in bed by 10pm as I have to wake up for my ‘night duty’ at 2am. It’s agonizing ok, to force yourself up from your beauty sleep to do your…

Wednesday Breakfast – 27 January 2016
My breakfast today to fuel me for a long, long and tiring day… Half an avocado with a drizzle of maple syrup. This is so refreshing and delicious. A friend taught me to eat avocado this way to mask the slightly bitter taste of avocado. You gotta try this way of eating your avocados….
Update On Cass’ UTI & Incontinence – 26 January 2016
Sorry for the long silence. As I have mentioned in one of my earlier posts, if you do not see any update in my blogs for more than 3 days, I am either suffocating in my busyness or there has been a crisis at the home front. This time, it’s both the reasons again and…

Earning Passive Income From Home

Short Cuts Around The Kitchen
Here’s one of my many lazy innovative ways around the kitchen. I try to cut down my time in the kitchen as much as I can. My kids love fried ‘wallet eggs’ (hor pau tarn) but eggs cooked in this fashion takes a longer time vs scrambled eggs as each egg has to be fried separately,…
