FollowAfter a 6-month break for Alycia, I have decided to send her back to pre-school tomorrow. She has not fallen sick for more than 1 month now and praying hard that her immune system is stronger now, I hope she will love going to school again and will not fall sick so easily. Going back…

Placating A Whining Child
This afternoon just before nap time, Alycia was acting up and was whining away. I tried to placate her by reading a story book to her but that did not stop her from whining. Suddenly, I choked on my own saliva and kept coughing. As Alycia was still whining away in my ear, I pretended…
Shanghainese Mooncakes
There are the Shanghainese mooncakes that hubby’s aunty made. They are by far one of the tastiest mooncakes I have eaten as they are not too sweet and she blends and cooks the lotus seeds herself to make as fillings for the mooncakes. The crust is a little crunchy and fragrant too. Though I fancy…
Packet Unveiled
Looks like only Hui Sia half guessed it right what was inside the packet. This is what I ate for breakfast a couple of days ago – fried vegetarian meehoon with santan-free chicken breast curry. I’ve not eaten this sort of food for breakfast for ages and it certainly felt good eating them after such…
What’s Inside The Packet?
Yesterday morning as I was having my morning stroll, I suddenly had the urge to eat something that I’ve not eaten for quite some time. So I went to the van selling breakfast and packed that food. I couldn’t wait to reach home to feast on the food. Want to know what’s inside the packet?…
How We Spent Our Merdeka Day
We went to Mid Valley Megamall at around 11am today and as it was a public holiday, the traffic was pretty horrendous. There were oceans of people and a human traffic jam at Mid Valley. We wanted to have lunch at Dragon-I but the queue was crazy. We then retreated and went to American Chillis…
Merdeka!
Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka! These were the words I heard from a group of primary school kids chanting outside my house whilst we were having breakfast at around 9am yesterday morning. The troop of students, all dressed up in national costumes together with their teachers from a nearby school were marching round the neighbourhood holding flags…
Blog Approved
I am just so happy that this particuar advertiser has approved my blog several days ago. I was 5th time lucky this time. I’d submitted and re-submitted my blog as well as written to them a couple of times in the past few months but I kept getting the same message “your blog will only…
Muddy Mess
The water finally flowed back into our taps at around 11am today and as expected after every pipe burst, the water would be murky and dirty. After the water flowed out from the taps for about 1 minute, it stopped again as the mud and dirt had clogged up the tap. My maid then removed…
Porridge For 3 Days
Since hubby had a bad bout of food poisoning as a result of eating sushi at the hotel that we stayed at last weekend, we have been eating chicken and dried scallop porridge for 3 days straight. My maid would cook one big pot of porridge and everyone in the family including my maid would…

What A Bummer
My Neighbour Is Driving Me Crazy With….
…. her curries. Every morning at around 10ish am, my Sikh neighbour will start to cook her curry. First I hear her blending the onions and stuff in the blender and in less than an hour’s time, I smell her heavenly curry. I tell you, the mouth watering aroma of the curries that wafted from…
