For the kids’ lunch today, I was undecided whether to cook green tea noodles with the new sauce that I had bought from Isetan or mushroom pasta. Since the punnet of button mushrooms had been sitting in the fridge for over 1 week already, I thought I should just use it before they turn black….

Cassandra’s First Swimming Lesson
At 4 years 9 months, my baby girl finally attended her first swimming lesson. She did pretty well, was very excited and was totally not afraid of the water. She’s a born water baby 🙂 The very first practice that the swimming instructor taught her was to submerge her head in the water in the…
Our Saturday – 19 Jan 2013
There is a carnival organized by our condo committee members today for the residents to mingle with one another. Alycia and Sherilyn took part in the treasure hunt at the big pool just now and as I am typing this post, they are now having a shower before we go down to have a party…
Dinner – 18 Jan 2013
Here’s another 1-plate dish that I dished up for dinner yesterday. Steamed pomfret fish (tau tai chong) with mushrooms and red dates (I always use these 2 ingredients to expel the fishy odor if I steam the fish), tomato, organic Japanese pumpkin wedges and I threw in a piece of lap cheong (Chinese sausage) as…
Cass and Sherilyn
Cass is going to turn 5 years old soon but she is still very much a baby in my eyes and yes, she’s always going to be my baby. The youngest is always treated like a baby and called Baby till they are old, agree? I still call my youngest brother Baby, though he is…
Easy Peasy One-Pot Homecooked Dish
Here is our dinner for tonight, which I have already prepared at 4:40pm, as rascal #2 has ballet at 6:30pm. For time-challenged WFHMs, there will be lots of one-pot meals without stir-frying, shallow or deep frying. The lesser washing and oil splatters the better… and the food is healthier too. Steamed chicken drumsticks in tong…
Salad Maniac
Lately, I am into fixing salads for the kids. Since I have no more help from the maid and mil, I have to find the simplest ways in food preparation in the shortest time possible. So yeah, I am hooked on salads as salads do not need peeling and chopping of garlic/onion and no wok…
I Hate Short Hair!
Cass’ hair had grown pretty long. Since her hair is thick, I find it very troublesome to maintain it as I wash her hair twice a day. So yesterday, I brought her to the hair saloon to have her hair chopped off. The length is now almost touching the shoulder. After the hair cut, Cass…
Mushroom Pasta With Pan Fried Fish
Mushroom pasta cooked with Campbell’s mushroom soup is one of my kids’ favorite lunch meals. I normally add in 2 punnets of fresh button mushrooms, onions and sometimes chopped carrots. This time, I cooked it with pan fried fish, to pump up their protein and DHA intake. After briefly pan-frying the fish in a non-stick…
Braised Pork Ribs Egg Noodles
My 3 girls are big fans of noodles, especially #2 and #3. There is a noodles dish on my kids’ menu at least 3-4x in a week as it is pretty simple and quick to prepare. My noodles dishes come in a variety of styles. Braised pork ribs with egg noodles is a new addition…
Homemade Tomato Chicken Pasta For Lunch Today – 9 Jan 2013
That’s my kids’ lunch today – taken with my handphone, sent from my handphone to my email and from my email uploaded into my blog. Preparation time + cooking + cleaning up took me exactly 45 minutes. After cooking this, I rushed off to pick up Cass. She is now happily gobbling down this bowl…
Happy Sunday – 6 Jan 2013
Woke up at 7:45am on this lovely, sunny Sunday morning — the first Sunday in 2013. It’s a rare occasion that I get to sleep in and see the sunlight seeping in through the blinds in my bedroom. I have skipped exercising for 4 days already as the hubs had to leave the house in…
Our Dinner On Xmas 2012
We had a pretty quiet Xmas last week. The bunch of relatives and friends who usually celebrate Xmas with us were all overseas. And my hubs had to be at the site to oversee his new project. In fact, throughout the school holidays, he was very busy at site with his new project. Now that…
Quirky Kid
Of the 3 girls, #2 has the quirkiest taste buds. She dips cucumbers into her drinks (honey, yoghurt drink, juices, etc) before eating them, she uses her fingers (and not spoon) to eat porridge, she uses a straw to drink soup and the list is endless. It all boils down to her inquisitive mind. She…
End Of School Holidays
Finally the 6 weeks of school holidays have come to an end. We are back to the grunt starting tomorrow — I’ll have to wake up by 5am, get the 2 older girls ready for school, leave the house at 6:20am, jogging and gym for me after sending the girls off, preparing Cass for pre-school,…
Bye Bye 2012
Finally my two private domain blogs are up and running again!! But I am close to a thousand bucks poorer. Fuming mad with my host for not informing me that my domain has exceeded its bandwidth. They should have informed me at least 2 months earlier before they pull the life wires out from my…
