While in Ipoh last weekend, the girls and I, along with my dad had a long walk around the neighborhood in the evening. We stopped outside a few houses to play with and pat other people’s dogs 😀 This is something that we don’t always do in KL. The girls’ schedules are pretty much filled…

What’s For Dinner Tonight?
Guess what we had for dinner tonight? It’s a homey dinner but the price is that of a fine dine dinner at a 5-star restaurant. Yes beef steak… but not the regular beef. Look carefully at the marbled appearance… It’s Kobe beef, all the way from Hong Kong! The MIL hand carried the Kobe beef…
Happy 2015 Mid Year Everyone!
The view of KL Tower and KL Twin Towers is a regular sight greeting us everyday. From the 5th floor of our unit, we can see these prominent buildings very clearly. For the past one month, there is something different about the KL Tower. First, it was illuminated in neon green for several days. Then,…
Amazing Race To The Train!
HOLA from the land of pomelos, waat leet leet tau fu far (smooth bean curd), leng luis (pretty girls) and super crunchy bean sprouts!! 😀 We almost missed our ETS (Electric Train Service) ride from KL Sentral to Ipoh yesterday! The ETS ticket was at 1pm and we hopped into the coach at 12:59PM! Phew,…
Ostania Premium Mangosteen Amrita Juice
Mangosteens – we all love them, both for the one-of-a-kind succulent taste of the flesh and the vibrant purple color of the rind. My kids love them. I love them. I do not know of anyone who does not love them. But I hate peeling them! It’s so troublesome to get to the flesh of…
Big Bad Box Book Sale @ Mines 2
Today is perhaps one of the happiest days for the girls, especially the biggest girl, who is the biggest lover of novels. Hubs finally agreed to bring the girls to the Big Bad Wolf Sale (themed Big Bad Box Sale this year @ Mines 2) today. The girls were jumping and screaming with joy…
Scanning In An Open Area
An MRI can often detect injuries in the body that an x-ray might not be able to see. It can also assist in seeing tumors and other health issues that ordinary tests don’t. If you don’t like being in an enclosed space, then an open MRI would be an option. There are other benefits of…
Living Skills Training For Kids
One of the activities for Sherilyn during this school holiday is living skills training 🙂 She may be pretty clumsy, impulsive (she drives me nuts with her impulsiveness) and accident-prone, but when it comes to cooking, I can see that she is trying really hard NOT to be what she is 😀 As she flipped…
Our Sunday – 31 May 2015 (Lunch at Citrus Cafe and Restaurant, Bangsar Village)
Hubs told me that we should avoid going to Mid Valley Megamall on the first Sunday of the 2-week long school holidays. True to his forecast, the roads to Mid Valley Megamall on both ways were clogged up with vehicles. We made a quick spin to Bangsar Village and thankfully the roads were still…
The Fear Of Getting Cancer
This morning, I went to the hospital to do the remaining medical tests — blood test, urine test and ECG. I was in a rush yesterday and only managed to have the pap smear, Mammogram and chest x-ray done. The moment I reached the hospital this morning, the nurse told me that my gynae has…
Yearly Pap Smear And Full Medical Test
Yesterday I finally moved my arse and dragged myself to the hospital to do my slightly overdue pap smear and ultrasound scan of my breasts and reproductive organs. In addition, for the first time in my life, I asked for a full medical test, consisting of a Mammogram, chest x-ray, blood tests, cancer marker test,…
Grilled Chicken With Japanese Potato Salad
Remember my post dated 10 May 2015 where I wrote about our Mother’s Day dinner at Kozaku-Ai Modern Teppanyaki Kitchen? I told my girls that I would try to dish out the fried chicken with Japanese potato salad dish for them soon. And I did! It sure was a big hit with the girls! My…
Super Sprout Natural Food Powder – Share&Win Contest and Promo Code!
One of the things that makes me really happy is healthy food. I love being surrounded with all things healthy and colorful. Thus, I will go gaga inside an organic shop or at the fruits and veggie section of a supermarket. I love dishing out colorful meals and smoothies for my kids too. 🙂 Yesterday,…
Cool As Cucumber
It’s already 9:30pm and the big girl started to work on her school Kemahiran Hidup (Living Skills) project. She whipped out a screwdriver from daddy’s tool box and began to assemble the project item – which is a wooden tool box. Then, she painted the tool box. I wanted to strangle her for doing her…
Frying Fish – Successful Attempt!
Who hates frying fish? I.hate.frying.fish! I hate the oil splatters on my skin. You can never miss at least a drop or two of hot oil splatters on your skin when you slide the fish into the wok unless you wear gloves and a full body protective suit. Once, the oil splattered onto my eye lid…
Google Translate Mobile App For Education – Very Useful For Banana Parents!
Today I discovered something very, very useful for banana mummies like me who always try in vain to guide their kids in Chinese. For someone with very, very limited knowledge of the Chinese language, I get really, really frustrated when my girls run to me and cry for help on days when the Mandarin tutor…
