My girls’ all-time favorite for lunch – noodles with squids (all 3 of them are hooked on squids!), prawns, veggie in a bowl of anchovies soup. I gave them each a hard-boiled free-range chicken egg for added nutrients. They can eat this twice a day, 2 days in a row and fuss-free. And it’s…

Await Cafe @ Taman Danau Desa, KL
We had breakfast at the newly opened Await Cafe @ Taman Danau Desa after bringing the girls to the park yesterday morning. My foodie hubs brought us there on Saturday morning after attending Cassandra’s sports day event but the cafe was not ready to serve us yet. So the next day, he tried his luck…
Book Maniac
My 8.5YO daughter taking after me — reading while eating. She can spend an hour eating and reading (either own story books, school library books or newspapers) at the same time. And then adjourn to the throne and spend another hour reading there. Coz she knows that after her lunch and shower, she is not…
The IKEA Sale Is Back!!
My hubs is all geared up to rush into the Ikea store in the morning of 5 July 2012 to grab some of the best deals ever! He is one big fan of Ikea. For someone who has absolutely no patience shopping with me, he can however spend the whole morning with me at Ikea…
Savings For The Kids’ Tertiary Education
Sherilyn is now into Grade 2 of the Royal Academy of Dance for ballet. When she first attended ballet lessons, we paid only about RM70 for a once weekly lesson. Then, a few months before the exam, the teacher increased the lessons to twice weekly and the fees was doubled too. Now that she is…
Washing Delicate Clothes In The Washing Machine
This is how I wash our delicate and expensive outing clothes : Fold the clothes and place them inside an old bolster case. Tie both ends of the bolster case and then put the bolster case with the clothes into a double layer washing net (which I bought from Daiso and 100 Yen Shop) before…
Quirky Kids
I’ll bet no one has ever thought of drinking soup and the gooey essence inside the pig’s bone marrow with a straw! I’ll just suck it out with my mouth but my artsy fartsy rascal #2 had a better idea! Have I told you before that this rascal also enjoys eating porridge through a straw…
Our Lazy Sunday
It was a very lazy Sunday for me. Hubs was in Penang with his gang of basketball ‘kaki’ to take part in a friendly basketball match with some Penang basketball players. I was in absolutely no mood to cook today. So I bought nasi lemak for breakfast and made fried egg sandwiches for lunch. While…
Getting Free Beauty Sessions From Home!
When I am too busy to make a trip to the beauty saloon to pamper myself, I can have my pampering sessions done at home, for FREE! My 3 angels can very well give me a good full body massage (with oil some more LOL!!) and the latest, my almost 9-YO daughter has even learned…
Alycia’s 1st English Composition
At Primary 3, Alycia has not been taught how to write English composition or Karangan yet. Perhaps her school teachers will start them off in the last school term. To give her the heads-up so that it will be easier for her when the time comes, I told her to start writing her own composition…
A Picture That Moved Me To Tears
I was moved to tears when I saw this picture in my Facebook news updates today. The 2-year old girl was dying and her parents took turns to give her a last hug and kiss. This picture transported me back to May 2009 in the OT of GMC Penang. Cass was on my lap frozen…
My First Swedish Cooking Class!
When I was offered by Ikea to attend a free Swedish cooking class recently, I jumped at the opportunity to equip myself with some Swedish cooking skills. How can I say NO to such an opportunity from Ikea? Thankfully my mil was around to watch over the 2 older girls (which she had to bring…
Caught In The Rain Twice And Guess What..?
They say lightning never strikes a place twice but it does and in my case, I was caught in a heavy rain with Cassandra twice, unprepared! We hardly have the time to have morning walks together. About 2 months ago, we had a stroll to the nearby market-on-van to buy some veggie and meat and…
Cheap Prescription Glasses For Sherilyn
During the school holiday, I brought Sherilyn to the opthalmologist to have her eyes checked. Actually I had earlier brought her to an optician to have her eyes checked but the results produced by the computer and by manual check did not correspond. I was adviced to have her brought to an opthalmologist to have a thorough eye check up. Well, it turned out that she has pretty high astigmatism on her right eye and slight astigmatism on her left eye. She was advised to wear prescription glasses to help correct the problem.
We have not brought her to the optician to choose her glasses. For a very scattered-brain and clumsy-pot, I would not get her anything more than a hundred bucks for her glasses. I have searched the internet and found Zenni Optical, an online optician that offers a wide range of affordable and stylish glasses. I can even get glasses as low as $4.95 from Zenni Optical! Since it is so affordable, I can even get a few pairs for Sherilyn, just in case she breaks a pair. There are hundreds of chick and pretty frames to choose from, I’ll bet my vain pot will have a fun time choosing her frames. With the money saved on glasses, I can get her some of the story books that she has been bugging me to buy for her.
Do check out Zenni Optical too to get yourself some affordable prescription eyeglassesHidden FieldHidden Field You can save so much $$ when you get these really affordable yet stylish eye glasses. With the money saved on eye glasses, you can stretch your money further and spend them on other essential items.
My princess wannabe who likes all things pink chose this glasses in pink frame with rose crafted on the temples. Pretty cool eh?

My 4-Year Old Baby Girl
I guess she will always be called baby girl as she is the baby of the family and my last baby. Just like my youngest brother who is still called ‘bee’ up to today and he is 35 years old. Cassandra is now 4 years old but I still call her baby girl or baby….
Riblee’s Restaurant @ Desa Sri Hartamas
Alycia and Sherilyn were invited to attend a birthday party of Alycia’s classmate during the school holiday. As we did not want Cassandra to feel left out, we brought her to RibLees @ Desa Sri Hartamas for lunch after dropping her che ches at their friend’s house. It was our first time at RibLees but…
