FollowWe had dinner with my elder brother and his family at a chinese restaurant in Chulan Square this evening and I had some very diluted chinese tea. Now, I’m feeling wide awake and just can’t seem to fall asleep. Or is it because I’ve been working too hard for the past few days trying to recover my lost…

Just In Case We Need Them
Know what Tamiflu is? It’s the antidote for bird flu. Nope, none of us have bird flu, knock on wood, choi! Hubby bought a box of it at the height of the bird flu epidemic last year when supply of Tamiflu ran low. My slaphappy and easy-going hubby can be quite far-sighted sometimes. No. of times…
Funky Skins For Gizmos and Gadgets
My Christmas shopping list is still expanding by the day. I now have 15 people on my list which include my family members, hubby’s family and relatives and our friends. I have already written what I intend to buy for these people. I’m always at a loss when it comes to shopping gifts for hubby’s…
Herbal Egg
This is my favorite kind of egg – ‘char tan’ or herbal egg. I normally buy them from the Eu Yan Sang chinese medicine hall near my house. I also love to drink the herbal soup that’s used to boil the egg. At only 60 sen per egg, it’s a cheap and nutricious food. I normally buy 2 – one…
Happy Deepavali Holidays
My eldest brother, his wife and in-laws from Singapore are here in KL for the Deepavali holidays. He came this morning to pass me the money that I’d transferred from my Paypal account to his Singapore bank account. Tonight, we’ll be having dinner at Imbi Palace again. To all those celebrating Deepavali, here’s wishing you ‘happy…
Lap Band Surgery To Combat Obesity
I have an aunt who loves to eat and leads a sedentary lifestyle. She has a job that’s desk-bound, she works late every night, has late dinners and never exercises. She’s overweight and her doctor has given her the red-flag on her weight and her health. She has to loose at least ¼ of her…
Post Amniocentesis – Day 2
Just got back from my gynae’s office. He did an ultrasound scan and told me that everything looks fine. There is no built-up of amniotic fluid outside the sac and there is no bleeding around the area that was poked. Baby’s right kidney still looks dilated. If the Amnio test shows that the baby has normal chromosomes,…
Black Chicken Soup
This is my usual ‘poa pun’ (nutricious stuff in Cantonese) during my pregnancy – black chicken soup with snow fungus, wolfberries and red dates. Black chicken is known to be more nutricious than regular chicken. During my previous pregnancies, my mil or my former maids would chop and crush the black chicken into pieces before putting the chicken into a special double boiler with holes…
Environmental Friendly Soy Candles
I am a big supporter of environmental-friendly and non-toxic products. I try to buy bio-degradable aerosols and I’ve even stopped using my aromatherapy candles that are made of petroleum based waxed. It’s hard to find non-toxic and bio-degradable candles here and there’s only one website that I know of that sells them. Caterpillars Candles is…
Blog Rush
Woke up at 6am today and managed to complete 3 paid posts that were expiring in less than an hour and typed 6 non-paid posts as filler posts, all in 1.5 hours. I always perform better under pressure and when I’m under pressure, I think faster and better. I’d wasted one whole day yesterday checking all…
Birds’ Nest
These are soaked birds’ nest. There are about 3 pieces of birds’ nest here and I’ll be double boiling them for about an hour after removing the dirt and feathers from the nests. After the cooked birds’ nest have cooled down, I normally transfer them into an air-tight container, put them into the fridge and eat a tablespoon…

Lost Posts
I finally managed to retrieve my lost posts for my Blogspot blog from BlogBackupOnline.com, a website which currently provides free back-up service. The response to my email and customer service were very good and prompt and they managed to guide me to recover my lost posts. I had worked until 1am to recover my posts. They…
Funny Quotes
At the washroom of Imbi Palace yesterday, Sherilyn and I were waiting for my maid to help Alycia pee inside the toilet. A lady in her early twenties walked into the washroom. This lady looked exactly like a boy, sporting crew cut hairstyle, wearing a shirt and bermuda pants. Even I got a shock when…

Pee Accidents
Sherilyn has been off diapers for about one month already when we go out now. She would normally tell my maid or me when she wants to pee but yesterday, I think she must have enjoyed her food so much that she had totally forgotten to inform us and she peed twice in her pants – once when…
