My lazy cincai dinner for tonight… Meatless fried rice composed of 1 big Bombay onion, 1 large bulb of garlic, Edamame beans, avocado oil, chopped scallions, 4 eggs, few dashes of soy sauce, pepper and a large cup of LOVE. Decor – blanched organic broccoli and organic cherry tomatoes and a few shakes of Japanese…
The time for plain, simple lab coats with no frills seems to be in the past. Workers in the healthcare, science, hazardous manufacturing and foodservice fields who might wear them as a part of their daily uniform want more options. Rather than the traditional straight-line lab coat with a single pocket at the breast, these…
Our fears came true. Schools will be closed on Monday and Tuesday (5 – 6 October 2015) caused by the worsening haze. API at our place today was over 300! This means exam on Monday and Tuesday will be postponed to the following Monday and Tuesday (12 – 13 October 2015) while exam will go…
Breakfast at a nearby coffee shop… Yep, this cili padi not-so-babyish anymore Baby C can eat fiery curries and loves them! Today we shared a bowl of white curry vermicelli. Check out this picture of the horrendous haze today, taken from the 5th floor of our condo at 11am… Today is one of the worst…
This morning the water did not come back at 6am as promised. Not a trickle of water from our tap and I was fuming mad! The stored water from one bathroom was finished off really quickly. A lot of water was needed to flush toilets. The girls were fighting to use the other bathroom which…
Today has been a day filled with various obstacles for me. First, we are affected by the 2.5-day water cut in certain areas in KL caused by an inlet valve replacement at one of the major water tanks in KL. Living in a condo, we have always been spared from the brunt of water rationing…
Precious bonding moments pictures of the girls with my parents and younger brother during my mum’s 69th birthday celebration in KL last week (18 – 20 September 2015)… The girls played Monopoly with their koong koong for 3 hours on Sunday! 2 hours in the afternoon and 1 hour after we came back from dinner….
It would take other people three to four weeks’ advance booking to secure a table on a weekend and the order had to be placed at least three days prior to the actual meal, specifying the dishes and number of diners, so that the chef could shop accordingly. But for the hubs, he booked a…
On Wednesday, which was Malaysia Day holiday, we stayed put in our neighborhood. Everyone was wary of the shirt rally in the heart of KL and avoided going downtown. After brekkie at the coffee shop, hubs suggested massage at our regular massage and reflexology center…. again! The lady boss, who is a Chinese national acceded…
This morning, I had to skip swimming and brisk-walking outside as it was drizzling plus the air was just so so so choking bad!! The moment I woke up and opened the sliding door, I could smell smog! The picture below was taken at about 7am. The dust monitor on our Sharp air purifier showed…
Today is an emergency government declared holiday for schools in several states in Malaysia, caused by the haze. Coincidentally, it is also the girls’ school anniversary holiday today. When we went to the coffee shop for breakfast this morning, we saw many kids still in their uniform having brekkie. Their parents were obviously not aware…
H20 consists of two parts hydrogen and one part oxygen. This substance also known as water, is one of the most essential elements to our body and all living things in this planet. Water makes up more than two thirds of human body weight, and without water, we would die in a few days. The…
It’s the first Saturday post UPSR exam. Alycia finally gets to join us for breakfast and then grocery shopping. For the past 9 months, her Saturdays were spent in school from 7am till 3pm. Life was grueling for these 11-12 year olds. They were drilled to score straight As. I don’t like this kind of…
Crap of the day from the drama queen part-time maid today… She called me this morning to inform me that she would like to start work again. I told her that I have already found a new part-time maid. Nonetheless, I will still be calling her whenever the new part-time maid takes leave. I then…
This UPSR exam week has not been good for us. It was especially jinx on Monday, the eve of the first day of Alycia’s UPSR exam. On Monday, everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong. Darn Murphy’s Law!! Here’s the sequence of jinx that transpired on Monday, 7 Sept 2015… When the mil and…
