She may look demure and as if butter wouldn’t melt in her mouth, but when she sees food, this girl with an insatiable appetite is capable of doing anything and I mean anything… not even the harshest of threats can stop her from shoving forbidden food into her mouth at times. Well, that’s the way…
On most Saturday mornings, I would walk to the nearby coffee shops with the girls to take away breakfast. Walking in the morning sun helps to give us the dosage of Vitamin D that we need. Kids these days are hardly exposed to the morning sun. They are shuttled off to school way before they…
On the eve of Alycia’s BM test early last week, I suddenly remembered that I had not gone through ‘Nilai Murni’ (which literally means pure values if translated directly from BM to English using Google Translate. It is all the good values that one should possess ) with her. And my cool as cucumber daughter…
The mil made some crunchy-licious Biscotti yesterday. After the Biscotti were removed from the oven and left to cool, the girls and I could stop laying our hands on the lip-smacking Biscotti. They were really delish and addictive. Best to savor these Biscotti with coffee or tea! I’ll bet the needle on my weighing machine…
I mentioned in my earlier post that in my motherhood journey, I encounter and grapple with problems related to my kids everyday. Almost everyday, I face a new ‘juicy’ issue to jolt me up from the jadedness of being a WFHM. Today, when I picked Cass up from school, I just had a hunch that…

Everyday, I have to embrace a myriad of issues pertaining to my 3 girls, aged almost 5 years old, 8 years old and an almost 10 years old tween. Everyday I grapple with old problems and on some days, I get ‘interesting’ issues which really stir my mind on how to deal with them effectively…
Presenting 6 of our 7-course homecooked dinner that we had at home 2 evenings ago. 1) Gado-gado– composed of fried tofu bought from the Japanese food section at Isetan, blanched cabbage, long beans and special homemade Gado-gado sauce. 2) Steamed egg with minced meat 3) Stuffed dried oysters with minced meat, fish meat and watercress. …
That’s how my foodie baby eats her porridge — by cracking up a CNY Bee Hives biscuit and scattering them onto her porridge, just like how it’s done at Chinese restaurants that serve porridge for dim sum! Of the 3 girls, Cass is the most appreciative of food and can eat like a horse without…
