It was yet another simple Mother’s Day celebration for us this year. We could not go to anywhere that’s too far or would take up too much time as both Alycia and Sherilyn will be sitting for their mid-term exam tomorrow. I am not too worried for Alycia but for Sherilyn, I have tried my…

My First Mother’s Day Card From My Blog Reader!
When I received a pink envelope with my name written on it 3 days ago, I wonder who had sent me a card. It was sent to our old address. I thought it was probably a card from those jewelry shops or from my insurance agent. When the envelope was ripped off, I was pleasantly…
Happy Friday :)
A customer made my day today! Just a moment ago, she PMed me in FB telling me that she had received her parcel and was very very pleased with the clothes. She told me that I had brightened her day and commented that the ladies clothes and kids clothes were “super duper nice” Such heartwarming…
A Little Embarrassment Is The Trick!
This was what I had to be forced to do when little Miss Forgetful and Scattered-Brain repeatedly forgot to bring her books back home for revision. The Mandarin tutor had asked her to bring her Science textbook along with all her Mandarin exercise books back for revision. Despite umpteen nagging verbal reminders and also written…
Homemade Goodies With TLC
Whilst I was busy doing revision with Alycia and Sherilyn on Sunday, my mil kept herself busy in the kitchen the whole day. She cooked a pot of red bean-lotus seeds-pandan leaves tong sui, baked 2 trays of green tea red bean buns and also baked a tray of Spanish Magdalenas! She also whipped up…
‘Straying’ Kids
Alycia and Sherilyn will be sitting for their mid-term examination in a week’s time. So this weekend is spent doing revision with them. Each time I leave my work area to go to the bathroom or have a drink, these 2 monkeys will take the opportunity to have a jolly good time! They will dart…
It’s The Most Dreaded Time Of The Year Again…
…because my girls will be sitting for their mid-term exams. 1 more week to be exact. This year, I have to do revision with 2 girls simultaneously – Alycia who is in P3 and Sherilyn P1. This is uber stress and taxing on me! Each time I am attending to Alycia, Sherilyn will come tugging…
Sherilyn’s Grade 1 Ballet Exam – 3 May 2012
The big day finally arrived yesterday, after 2 mock examinations, twice weekly classes for the past 1 year and lots of practices at home, not to mention a big hole on daddy’s pocket. After a week long drought and extremely sweltering weather for the past 1 week, it poured like it never before yesterday, during…
Learning Sukukata from You Tube
I have found a fantastic website for my 4-YO baby girl to learn sukukata and it is no other than from You Tube – the place where kids can learn their ABCs, 123s, nursery rhymes, how to draw, how to make origami and I even learned how to make sushi from You Tube! Oh yea,…
Our Sunday – 29 April 2012
We had buffet lunch at the Living Room Coffee House @ Westin Hotel in KL today. We have not had buffet lunches and dinners for quite some time and if not because of the free voucher (hubs is a member of the Starwood Privilege Club) that was expiring tomorrow, we would not have gone for…
Going Nuts Over Coconuts
And that’s me! I love any food that has coconut in it, whether it is just plain coconut water (which we drink at least twice a week), coconut milk (I can gulp down a cup, great stress buster for me haha!), grated coconut, fresh coconut flesh, curries with lots of coconut milk, DESSERTS made with…
Cassandra Says The Darndest Things
If you have a very expressive, inquisitive and chatty 4-year old, you tend to bite your nails at situations you just know will cause embarrassment to you, to the target person and everyone else. Yesterday at the lift of our condo, a woman pushed her teenage disabled son (mentally and physically) on a wheelchair into…
Our Weekend
We had finished eating dinner at home at around 8pm last night but when daddy came home at around 8:30pm, he said he felt like having Japanese food. So we all had another round of dinner at the Japanese restaurant downstairs. I felt like chomping down the Chawan Mushi and grilled salmon fish. Thank Lord…
VÄNNERNA LÅNG from Ikea will be mine!
I think I have just found my soon-to-be new mate at work! My new mate who will be seated on my lap or clawed round my neck or waist for over 10 hours a day. My new huggable mate is also bound to double up as my stress buster as it’s going to be squeezed…
Candylicious and Loco Gelato @ KLCC
Would your kid ever allow you to leave a candy shop without you getting him/her some candies? What’s more if it’s at Candylicious, the giant candy boutique at the concourse of KLCC? My kids would but we had to substitute candies with something else – a super cute miniature Candylicious trolley for rascal #2 and…
Hot Stuff
Not only does my 4-year old baby girl love curry dishes, she can even stomach wasabi beans! The love-for-food genes from her daddy is definitely flowing in her blood. She loves food just as much as her daddy and can eat more than me I kid you not. But she’s still as skinny as a…
