Gong Xi Gong Xi to all my readers! How has the start of the year of the wooden sheep been to you? I hope that everyone has been having a great time eating, bonding, traveling, shopping or simply chilling out at home doing nothing. We spent our day shopping and lunching at Pavillion on the…
Cass this afternoon – just back from school in her CNY outfit for CNY performance in school today… Can you guess how old this cheongsam is? Alycia wore this cheongsam only once when she was 3 years old! I think Sherilyn never wore it. And my soon-to-be 7YO baby girl can still wear it! And…
Cass at her fourth pop piano lesson at Yamaha on Saturday… Cass is now pretty familiar with the do-re-mis, A B Cs and counts of each note and which key on the piano representing which note. At her 4th lesson on Saturday (14 Feb 2015), her teacher taught her to play Twinkle Twinkle Little…
Our drama queen will turn 10 tomorrow! Also known as the social butterfly, what makes her happiest is being with her besties. She pestered her dad to allow her to bring along 2 besties for lunch today. We had brunch at Nutmeg @ Bangsar Village. The girls played with each other more than they ate. …

One of our most enjoyable meals in New Zealand was at Puhoi Valley Cafe & Cheese Store, about over an hour’s drive from Auckland. It is nestled in an idyllic valley surrounded by native bush. The cafe is a good size and opens out onto a large deck with seating under umbrellas. There were also…
This pot of yummy braised chicken drumsticks and eggs in soy sauce, organic blackstrap molasses, garlic and star anise is awaiting the girls when they come back from school today… I dished this up for dinner last night and kept 4 drumsticks for lunch today. I boiled 3 eggs just now and added them…
At a gathering with our close friends last Saturday night, we discussed about our next holiday destination. If all goes well, the kids will be heading to the East Coast of Malaysia to watch turtle lay eggs during the mid term school holiday!! When I told the girls about it, gawd, they pestered me non-stop…
Millions of people all over the world spend over three billion hours collectively each week playing video games. Video games can be a fun way to pass the time. They give the gamer a chance to experience things they normally don’t, but when does it become a problem? Many are becoming concerned about the amount…
I survived the first week of school! And so did Cass (who started Primary 1)! After 3 days of waiting in the school to guide Cass and to give her moral support, parents were not allowed in the school anymore yesterday. Yesterday was the first time Cass sat on Aunty J’s van, along with her…
