Happy Winter Solstice Everyone!

My mum bought some colored rice flour dough from the market yesterday morning. Last night, my 3 gals had their first experience rolling tong yuen. It was similar to playing with play dough and they had SO much fun. But the aftermath was REALLY messy – clumps of rice flour everywhere on the table, floor,…

Penang Road Famous Cendol and Ice Kacang

We tasted the most famous Penang Road Famous Cendol and ice kacang during our stay in Penang.  When hubs drove to the lane where the stall was, I asked him to drop the idea of getting down the car to join in the looooooong bee line at the stall.  It was scorching hot and we…

Poolside @ Hard Rock Hotel, Penang

It was drizzling almost the whole morning on Friday. But that did not dampen the spirit of everyone.  The pool area was teeming with happy kids and their parents.Alycia going down the slide.  She went up and down the slides all by herself countless times.Sherilyn who seems to have a phobia of water chickened out…

Pix Of Hard Rock Hotel, Penang… Part 1

We just got back from Penang and are now in Ipoh. We’ve had a very enjoyable time in Penang, both at the beach and especially with the food.  Here are some pix taken at Hard Rock Hotel, Penang. At the entrance of the lobby…At the entrance of the lift of 5th floor. We stayed on…

Off To Penang Today

We’ll be heading off to Penang in a bit. I’d skipped running this morning. I feel so paranoia of what I eat now. Without my exercise regime, I should skip a biscuit or two or anything that makes up 200+ calories today. I’m such a health and diet freak eh? I hope I’ll find the…

Ipoh and Penang, Here We Come!

For the past few days, Alycia has been unable to contain her excitement that we are finally going to Ipoh and then to Penang (staying at the newly opened Hard Rock Hotel YAY!!). She’s been counting down the days.  She and Sher have been discussing what they intend to do in Ipoh with granny and…

I Like To Move It Move It

Alycia loves singing the song “I like to move it, move it”. She can wiggle and jiggle her butt and hips pretty cool. Both my older girls can dance quite well and rascal #2 can sing pretty well too. She seems to have a photographic memory when it comes to remembering tunes and lyrics. Whenever…

Kids Nap The Darnest Ways

Guess what this is? It’s the gals’ play tunnel, folded and buttoned up. And guess what Alycia loves doing with it?  More guesses. Guess what’s inside this tunnel, which looks like the shell of a snail? One afternoon, Alycia napped inside this little cocoon… and Baby found her jie jie inside…. … and kept calling…

Homecooked Dishes And Homemade Bread

Here are some of the dishes that my mil whipped up last week: Her ‘lar sau’ stir-fried minced pork with fermented bean paste, garlic, shallots and brown sugar. It’s one of my favorite dishes, yums… iLikey! Shallow fried ‘char yue jai’ fish, fried till super crispy and with crackling sounds when you bite on the…

Some Pix Of My Little Samseng

Rascal #3 is getting cheekier by the day. These days, she loves ‘finger pointing’ and ‘tai chee’ all her boo boos and naughty acts to her jie jies. Whenever we ask “who did this”, “who broke this”, “who drew this”, “who gave you this?”, “who is the naughty girl?”, etc. Baby will conveniently say “cheh…

Off For A Vacation Soon

Two weeks of school holidays have zoomed past us and my 2 brats are bored to the core. Most days, they are cooped up at home, entertaining themselves and most times being disruptive. My mil would not allow them to sit in front of the idiot box, lest they get hooked on it even more…

My 3 Angels

I find this picture too cute. Baby now has a habit of climbing into pails or the laundry basket. I guess every toddler her age loves doing this. I remember Sherilyn loved doing this too. Can’t remember much whether Alycia did that too coz I was working full-time and she was taken care of by…

Mind-Sharpening Cube Toy

Does this cube game look familliar to you? This decades-old mind-sharpening toy was once my favorite, my elder brother’s too. My elder brother and I could solve the entire ‘puzzle’ in just days, where we could twist and turn and place the same color / fruit (we used to have one cube with pictures of…
