Holiday Mood

Someone is getting an overload of TV and all the i-gadgets since the Deepavali holiday started on Wednesday.  For the weeks of studying hard, she deserves a good break now.  After all, she did pretty well this time. If this was her actual UPSR exam, she and I would be the happiest persons on earth. …

Hidden Hints Game

A few days ago, another surprise awaited the girls at home.  It was a box of mystery word game called Hidden Hints by Learning Resources.  The girls’ angel had sent them another mystery gift woohoo!   Since it was the last day of Alycia and Sherilyn’s final exam, they could start playing this game, yay!!…

Crock Pot Maple Dijon Chicken Drumsticks

I stumbled upon this recipe at skinnytaste.com while searching for some recipes to dish up. Chicken drumsticks cooked with maple syrup and dijon mustard in a crock pot seems pretty easy and delish. Best of all, not many ingredients are needed for this dish.  I was excited and very eager to try out this dish,…

Our Sunday, 20 October 2014

My Sunday yesterday was no different from any weekday as I had to be up from bed at 5:30am.  Alycia had to attend a team-building camp in school and had to be in school by 7:30am. Breakfast was pretty light and healthy. You can see from the picture below that we had sugar-free yoghurt, sweet…

Of Bushy Eyebrows and Light Eyebrows

I have always wished that I have thicker, more refined and more shapely eyebrows. My brows are very light in color (and sparse), as are my hair color (which is brown) and my skin color. I have very fair skin and I guess God has made my eyebrows light colored to match my overall color…

Wednesday Night Dinner – Healthy Fried Rice

My part-time maid, M screwed up my day again yesterday.  I have always reminded her that should she be unable to come in for work, she has to send me a text message latest by 12 noon so that I can start doing chores myself.  But she just can’t seem to take instructions well and only…

Monday Nite Dinner

Dinner whipped up in a jiffy yesterday – fried organic spinach noodles with minced pork, meat balls, garlic, a whole head of Chinese cabbage and 5 eggs (free-range ones).   We had dinner at 6pm yesterday, which was earlier than usual as the girls had an extra Mandarin tuition class for the tutor to help…

Our Sunday, 12 October 2014 – Eve Of Final Exam

On the eve of Alycia and Sherilyn’s exam, I should be at home to do revision with them today.  But as in previous exams, we were pretty relaxed and went to Mid Valley Megamall to have brunch at Sushi Zanmai *feeling guilty*!         After brunch, hubs suggested to have some cakes and…

Chinese Writer App by Molatra

Today is the eve of the eve of Alycia and Sherilyn’s final exam and I am only starting to revise with them today.  Can you feel the heat and pressure I am feeling now?  I am reeling from the  exam fever heat *wipe sweat from forehead*!   It does not help that the weather for…

Urban Playz @ Mid Valley Megamall

As promised, here are the pictures of Alycia, Sherilyn and Cass tackling the Urban Playz climbing walls at Mid Valley Megamall last Sunday. Cass started the wall climb first, followed by Alycia.  When Cass and Alycia did the wall climb, I was shopping with Sherilyn.  Sherilyn later joined them. My monkey girl finally got the…

Molding and Sculpting With Blue Tac

The hubs is hooked on blue tac sculpting! Since Saturday through today, he has been molding  fruits, pastries, flowers and cartoon characters out of blue tac whenever he had the time. And Cass is the happiest kid in town to have daddy playing blue tac with her! 🙂 Check out what he churned out from…

Our Sunday – 5 Sunday 2014

We had breakfast at Antipodean @ Mid Valley today.  This is Antipodean’s newest outlet in the Klang Valley.  As with their outlet in Bangsar, the one at Mid Valley is just as crowded.  We wanted to have breakfast at this outlet yesterday but the wait list was too long.  We were slightly luckier today and…

Cass Reads Roald Dahl’s Books

Cass is growing up too fast. With 2 older tween sisters who are currently into pop music and novels that teenagers read, Cass is following her sisters’ foot steps too. Yesterday, Cass started to read Charlie And The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl and got hooked on it. Her 2 older sisters are currently reading…

Salmon & Tuna Fish Macaroni

What do you do with leftover salmon fish for dinner?  My kids and I do not like eating overnight fish.  When re-fried, re-toasted or steamed, the meat gets too dry.  So I normally ‘re-cycle’ the salmon fish and convert it into another appetizing dish.  I will add the shredded salmon flesh into fried rice, fried…

History Repeated

Do you believe in history repeating itself exactly the way it happened the first time?  I do! When I was 9 years old, I was very much influenced by those TVB actresses who acted in kung fu movies. Barbara Yung Mei Ling (who committed suicide when I was 12 years old), Chik Mei Chan, Chan…

Le Toy Van Blender Set From Applecrumby & Fish

Cass received another big surprise yesterday! When she got back from school, her face lit up with glee when she saw this cool toy set on the floor…     I think the owner of Applecrumby & Fish has some kind of sixth sense and read my mind.  I had always wanted to buy the…
