Health Freak Mommy’s Super Healthy Breakfast

Here’s health freak mommy’s breakkie for today 🙂   Sugar-free plain yoghurt with an assortment of salt-free and sugar-free nuts from Hawaii (pecan, cashew, almond, macadamia) and chia seeds with a drizzle of coconut palm sugar (gula melaka)… This is not my choice of breakfast actually as I find it a tad plain but each…

Mother’s Day 2014

It was two days straight of digging into glorious food at new eateries, starting from Saturday nite through Sunday. For the hubs, there is always no better way to celebrate an occasion than to do it and to show it with good food with his loved ones. On Saturday nite, he brought us to Muugu…

Bravest Girl In The Whole Wide World

The award for “Toughest and Bravest Girl” has to go to Cass! All my worries about how Cass will cope with the pain and fear has been unfounded. My baby girl was as brave as ever yesterday during the Urodynamics Test, without shedding a tear when the nurse prodded the two catheters into her urethra…

Exam Fever

Scene at home on the eve of Alycia and Sherilyn’s mid year exam, on a Sunday…. Me revising with Alycia and Sherilyn on Kata Kerja, Sinomim, Antonim, Simpulan Bahasa, Penjodoh Bilangan, Kata Ganda and a whole load of Tatabahasa on Slideshare from the computer. Alycia is in Primary 5 and Sherilyn in Primary 3 this…

Cutesy Pink Car

For the past one month, I have been making head turns, putting a smile and chuckle on kids’ and adults’ faces and people point at my direction in awe.  People often stop short of what they are doing just to gawk at my direction and they often chuckle.  Just yesterday morning, a man stood right…

Peeling Stinky Beans

Cass earnestly and diligently at work, helping grandma to remove the stinky beans from the pod and then peeled off the skin.     And she completed the entire job all by herself!  This I really have to give her a pat on her back.  I have absolutely no patience for this kinda boring task….

Bonding With No. 2

I had a much needed fruitful bonding with rascal no.2 yesterday. We did what girls love best – shopping!  Mummy and daughter shopping for shoes and clothes! At Avenue K Shopping Mall, after a delightful and totally satisfying lunch at Bankara Ramen and stationery and books shopping at Popular Bookstore.  It was our first time…

Homework Discussion Via Skype

This is a typical Generation Z kid. A kid who is very hands-on with electrical gadgets.     During my time (I was born in the year of the ox some 4 decades back) when I was Alycia’s age, I could only discuss homework with my friends via telephone. And the telephone that we had…

Grandma’s Back

A month flew past us like a gust of wind and grandma’s back from Hawaii two days ago…. with lotsa goodies as usual 😀 The girls look  forward to ransacking grandma’s huge suit cases upon her return from overseas each time to dig for  ‘treasure’!! And they fished out lotsa treasures from within the heavy…

Waited In Vain

See this fearless rascal? Monkeying away with zilch fear within her today. I so LOVE her confidence and bravery!! She knew just what she had to go through in the hospital today. She kept thinking that she had to go for an operation today, though I kept reassuring her that it was only a procedure…

Organic Yee Mein

My girls are so in love with yee mein.   Yee Mein is a kind of noodles made from wheat flour and eggs and deep fried. One of the ingredients in it is ASH. And I have no freaking idea what ash is but it sure does not sound too healthy to be eating ash.  Also,…

Bitchy Mode Turned On!

My bitchy mode is turned on *evil grin*! I am going to bitch about how some parents manage their kiddos. I know I know, I am far from perfect but then, some things that I see daily just get on my nerves and I just do not understand why some people do certain things like…

Mama, You’re The Queen Of My Heart

My kids are my angels and they are ironically also the monsters hiding in the closet, waiting to pounce on me and make me scream and weep on my PMS days. When they are angels, they make me laugh till I tear. Yesterday was movie day. The girls were all in a cheery and upbeat…

Golden Hours Of My Morning

With just 3 hours (and sometimes fewer) of golden hours in the morning sans the kids, I want to do everything before the girls come home and rob me of my absolute peace and sanity!  But there is no way I can accomplish so much in under 3 hours, unless I have some magical powers…
