What makes Cass really happy when she comes home from school is finding her favorite food sitting inside the fridge waiting for her to dig into 😀 She would scream out in excitement and without even washing her hands, she would tear open the ‘treasure’ and lay her dirty hands on them, much to my hollering…

Hydrogen Water and Carotenoids For Fever
On Friday I was still well, despite feeling a tad exhausted. For the past 1 month, sleep-ins on Saturdays have been a luxury of the past. Alycia has to attend compulsory tuition in school on Saturdays in preparation for the UPSR exam in September. So my Saturdays are just like any other school-going day, with…
My Thursday – 14 May 2015
I’ve been feeling draggy, really bushed and shitty since yesterday, no thanks to PMS. This morning, I downed 2 packs of Izumio hydrogen water and it has never once let me down. I felt like a wilting flower restored back to life after the 2 packs of Izumio. The Japanese man who came up with this…
Home-cooked Meals For Recess
This is an almost nightly affair for the drama queen. Before she eats her dinner, she would ask me if there is enough food for her to bring to school for recess the next day. If yes, she would quickly keep some in a stainless steel container with cover. The next morning, I would wake…
Kazoku-Ai Modern Teppanyaki Kitchen @ 3rd Mile Square, Old Klang Road
This is yet another food post, sorry, can’t help it 😀 In our household, celebration and good food go hand in hand… coz I’ve got a foodie hubby who is in the food line and we’ve produced kids who obviously appreciate and love good food too! Dinner on Mother’s Day Eve yesterday was celebrated…
Grilled Aromatic Lemon Grass Chicken Thighs
Here’s another sweat-free dinner I whipped up last night — grilled lemon grass chicken and blanched organic siew bok choy. I love my oven, it’s better than an air-fryer (as it’s huge vs the air-fryer) and I can save so much time by replacing deep-frying and pan-frying with grilling in the oven. And my persnickety…
Down With Flu – Super Lutein To The Rescue
I have been down with the sniffles for the past two days (see, month of May is really jinx!), no thanks to the girl who brought back the woeful virus from school and spread it to everyone! Yesterday I felt so bushed and lackluster that I popped 6 caps of Super Lutein (double my usual…
Lunch – 5 May 2015
These days, I am back to preparing home-cooked meals twice a day – for lunch and dinner. Everyday, I waste a little time thinking of what to take-away for lunch. I am sick of eating char siew and roast chicken rice and noodles are crap, I mean carbs. Economy rice dishes (chap fan) are too…

Courses that you take are of a high quality so that you are getting the best education possible. Some employers will…
May Jinx And 6th Anniversary of Cassandra’s Surgeries
I think 5th May will always be an inauspicious day for me. In fact, the month of May has never been kind to me. Last year at around this time, I went through a harrowing experience when the dentist extracted my tooth (positioned abnormally in my gums). That was the most frightening experience for me…

Limapulo is co-owned by hubs’ buddy, also named Alan. If you have been following my blogs long enough, you would have read that Alan…
No Excuse Not To Exercise
Finally, my 2 dot com blogs have been revived! But I am not sure how long they can survive before they pass on again. Their lives are hanging on tenterhooks. To ensure longevity of my blogs, I need to upgrade the Inode / space for my website by paying a hefty sum to the…
Mushroom Pasta and Grilled Chicken For Lunch
Lunch for Cass on one of the school days last week… Mushroom pasta, grilled turmeric and kafir lime leaves chicken drumstick, hardboiled free-range chicken egg and half a cob of sweet corn. Smoothie of the day and her Izumio hydrogen water. This Martha Stewart mushroom pasta recipe calls for white wine to prepare the mushroom…
Cass’ Yamaha Piano Lessons
Cass learning musical notes from flash cards that teacher K made. Cass is being taught musical notes based on do-re-mi rather than ABCs. Yesterday teacher K flashed the musical notes cards at an alarmingly fast speed, as part of the training in teaching her to do speed sight reading. Cass managed to read…
Dinner – 24 April 2015
Dinner came very early today as Mandarin tuition class began at 5:45pm at home. At 4:45pm, I started to work in the kitchen. After an hour, this is what I churned out… A big batch of pasta with beef and portobello mushroom bolognese sauce. I used 2 big packs of antibiotic-free Australian minced beef, 2…
