Cassandra’s 6th Birthday – 9 April 2014

This year will be the final year Cass gets to celebrate her birthday in school with her classmates. When she goes to primary school next year, it is serious business, seriously no birthday celebrations in class, what more in a Chinese school. What to do, hubster is 101% resolute that all his kids MUST go…

On The Eve Of Turning Six

Here’s my baby girl on the eve of turning 6.  Yes SIX finally!  God, please bless this very adorable fighter who is the light of my life. This afternoon after school, her daddy and I brought her to the bakery, for her to choose the design for her birthday cake. She requested for a birthday…

Movie Marathon In The Car

The only time I have the luxury to watch an entire movie from start to end without any interruption is during road trips. Thank God for the TV in hubs’ car. I really do enjoy such trips, where the kids and I  go on a movie marathon while munching on  fruits and snacks 😀 During…

Water Rationing And Our Sunday

Ever since the water shortage and water rationing issues hit the Klang Valley, my girls and I have to adjust our lifestyle a wee bit. As I am typing this post, my bladder is on the verge of exploding but I these days, I have to think twice before peeing and flushing the toilet. If…

Mushroom, Sweet Corn & Chicken Pasta

This was our dinner last night… Fresh portobello mushroom pasta with chicken fillet, fresh sweet corn kernels, garlic and whipping cream topped with cheddar cheese.   I used a mixture of ribbon and spiral pasta to make the dish look more interesting. After all, it was  a kiddo dish. Shapes, sweet corn, cream and cheese, these…

Qing Ming 2014

It was Cass’ maiden participation in Qing Ming this year. Her sisters had partaken twice in the past. She was very curious to visit the graveyard and pestered me to bring her to the graveyard. Actually I did not intend to bring her along this year but with her persistence, I caved in.  So on…

Touch & Go Weekend in Ipoh

We went back to Ipoh for a short weekend stay yesterday.  Within 24 hours, we managed to celebrate my 21st birthday and brought the girls to the graveyard for Tomb Sweeping day early this morning… and of course got roasted under the ferocious sun when we reached the third and last tomb to pay respect…

Freaking Hot Weather!

This year’s drought is the worst ever for us. It is SO SO SO hot, so hot that I am sweating profusely though seated under the fan moving at full speed. It is so hot that I do not feel like going anywhere. I now hurriedly complete all the errands that I have to run…

Emotional Day

Today is an emotional day of sorts for me. The news of the ill-fated missing MH370 MAS airplane last night and what I read from today’s newspapers have been very depressing. The cover page of The Star newspapers is black today. Pictures of the relatives and kin of the passengers on board MH370 crying and…

Botak Barbie

Someone with an ever curious mind and itchy hands snipped off Barbie’s long locks. Poor ballerina Barbie now wears a crew cut and she’s so hideous! Till now, I still don’t know which rascal shaved off Barbie’s golden locks.  Rascal #2 pointed finger at rascal #3 and vice versa.  The blame game is still going…

Yummy Rice Cooker Chicken Rice

Two days after Maid M resumed working for me, the lump in her neck began to nag her with pain again. Today, she sent me a text message informing me that she has to stop work and that she will only resume work again after her surgery. The last time she took a break from…

Easy Way To Julienne Cabbage

I discovered something that will ease my kitchen chore yesterday. The discovery popped up in my head when I was trying to figure out a quick way to  wash, soak and julienne my 2 heads of cabbage without much mess and hassle. My girls and I love cabbage but I have always tried to avoid…

Carelessness Kills!

Alycia got back almost all her first term test papers this week.  If this was her UPSR exam, she would have scored all As and would be a straight A student.  BUT…. both the Mandarin tutor and I are very disappointed with her marks. Why?  CARELESSNESS!  I told Alycia that she must have left her…

Maids Issues

For the past 4 days, my back-up part-time maid (Maid H) has been unable to attend work.  Last night, she sent me a text message subtly telling me that she would like to stop work.  I was really disappointed after reading the message as this meant that I will have no part-time maids coming to…
