Looking At Life Through Rose-Tinted Glasses

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…

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,…

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…
