Lunch In A Thermos Pot

My multi-colored fried rice is ready and it is 11:30am now. After frying the rice, I transferred it into my Shuttle Chef Thermos pot before placing the pot into the insulated outer pot to keep the rice warm. My 3 rascals come home from school at different times of the day from 12:30pm, 2pm to…

My Daily Fitness Regimen

I hardly bring along my mobile phone with me when I exercise in the morning as it is too cumbersome to pocket a phone bigger than my palm in my shorts or waist pouch when I run. Today, I started a tad late to exercise as it was drizzling and the gym is the only…

Little Devil

This little devil gave me yet another heart-stopping moment  today, plus two yesterday! Yesterday, she ran out from the kitchen, slipped on the slightly wet floor and almost hit her chin hard on the marble table. She scared the sh*t out of the mil and me!  Minutes later, she rolled off the chair and fell…

Dad’s 70th Birthday Celebration

The girls had a great time bonding with their youngest cousin, Raelyne when we were in Ipoh last weekend to celebrate my dad’s 70th birthday. Raelyne is my eldest brother’s only daughter. They live in Singapore. Cass used to be the youngest and most pampered member in the family but this ‘baby position’ has since…

Basic Life Support Courses

We often read of devastating stories from the newspapers on how babies choke to death while being bottle fed with milk. In most of the cases, the babies were being cared for by unregistered babysitters who operate from home. It really breaks my heart to read of such stories and I cannot fathom how the…

For those of you living in places clouded by hazy skies for the past few months, the sight of a tinge of some colors on the sky would cheer you up and make you appreciate a colorful sky! When I saw this ‘rare’ sight on the skyline, I just had to snap a picture. I…

Projects Weekend

I thought I could have a relaxing weekend but it turned out to be a busy one for me.  I spent my Friday night, Saturday and Sunday helping Alycia and Sherilyn  with their school project. Alycia’s Kajian Tempatan project was on the different types of houses found in Malaysia and Sherilyn’s Science project was on…

Flashback of Happy Memories

This Thermos flask is the first ever thermos food jar that I bought for Alycia. I bought it when she first started to eat solids at 7 months old.  That was over 9 years ago, around July 2004.  It is my most trusted thermos flask as it could keep her food warm for 5-6 hours….

Ridiculously Expensive Hawker’s Food

This morning after sending Cass to school, I had breakfast with the hubs at a nearby food court.  I have not gone to this food court for many years, albeit we do drive past it everyday.   After walking around the food court for 15 minutes, having a very hard time to decide what to eat,…

Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease?

After skipping school the whole of last week,  Sherilyn is finally back to school today.  From what I thought was a strep throat or  swollen gums caused by the eruption of her first molar, it turned out that she may have had contracted Hand-Foot-Mouth (HFM) disease but both the GP and I could not be…

Exam Is Over :)

Alycia sat for the last 2 test papers yesterday. Once back from school, I could see that she was in a very cherry mood.   She told me that she did pretty well in her Chinese test papers and the fact that she need not have to do anymore revision until the final exam in…

Whirlwind of Events

I had just walked out of a whirlwind of events that whirled for the past one week.   My online store business was put on a hiatus for the past one week as with my time spent online.  Too many things had transpired over the past one week… family events,  Alycia sitting for her exam and…

Scary Encounter

The couple who live opposite our unit has a 10-year old son who is mentally challenged.  Physically and facial wise, he looks pretty normal, albeit he is really  huge for his age.  He is fat and tall and looks like a teenage boy.  Mentally, I think he is slow or challenged.  He used to attend…
