We hardly cook elaborate meals these days. Ever since Maria stopped coming three weeks ago because of bad morning sickness (she’s expecting her 2nd baby), we have not had any other helper coming in. It’s manageable without a helper if we don’t cook. We get takeout or order from Shopee Food on most days and…

Today has been another hectic day for hubs and his kitchen crew. They prepped over 300 burgers today and will be whipping up 300 more tomorrow for a client’s 2-day event. In addition, they cooked sambal, curries, bolognese sauce, deep fried potato wedges and marinated a whole lamb for BBQ tonight. I brought Cass to…

Since 2014, the Kardashian sisters have been taking turns flaunting their signature hourglass curves, perfected with their waist-snatching best waist trainer and corsets.

Wednesday, 20 July 2022 ~ Random Updates
I just realized that I have not updated this blog for 10 days. As you might already have guessed, I’ve been up to my eyeballs with work – house work this time. Maria our part-time maid of 10 years is pregnant with her second child and has been riddled with bad morning sickness. She’s not…
Alycia’s Covid Infection: Day 4 – 7
By day 4, most of the classic symptoms of Covid crept out — sore throat and high fever. On day 5, the fever subsided but Alycia started to have cough and a bad throat. Since Alycia had a zero-symptom Covid infection three months ago and is now infected again, I think she got infected by…
Alycia’s Covid Infection – Day 2 & 3
6 July 2022 – The Covid self-test kit showed a faint line on the T window. Alycia is still feeling well and chirpy. The first symptom however crept out late in the evening with a scratchy throat. Alycia asked for lozenges and I gave her my honey and propolis lozenges that I kept in the…
Covid Positive Again!
It’s never anything good to receive a phone call from my daughters while they’re in school or campus. Last week Sherilyn called me from school to inform me that her newly pierced ear was bleeding as she asked her friend to remove the earring from the ear but the earring almost got stuck in her…
Haru Meets Her Twin Brother
Haru has a twin brother that we fostered together in February 2021. It’s a ginger cat and we named him Ginger. Two weeks later we gave Ginger to Alycia’s best friend who renamed Ginger to Moon Moon. We’ve always wanted to bring Haru to meet her twin brother before Alycia’s bff goes overseas for further…
Yi Sheng Huat Seafood Restaurant, Pudu, KL
This is a throwback post. Sunday, 5 June 2022 ~ Hubs brought us to try a ‘new’ Chinese ‘tai chow’ restaurant – it’s a first try for us but not for him. As catering functions have picked up ever since Malaysia reopened its borders and economic sectors, hubby’s catering business has been making a rebound….
Cassandra’s Blood Test
After more than a year of hiatus from our visits to HKL due to Covid-19 (HKL was a red zone), Cass and I are back at HKL on 20 June 2022. I started to make calls to the head of urologist’s nurse to get the appointment and after months of trying, she finally gave me…
Cosmo Pro Air Purifier Review: Great For Homes With Indoor Cats and Dogs
I have been using the Cosmo Pro air purifier for more than three weeks now. Ever since we adopted a kitten in February 2021 at the height of the pandemic and during the MCO, I have been mopping the floor more often because of Haru’s fur. Mopping does not really help as Haru keeps shedding…
Strawberry Moon On 14 June 2022
Late last evening just as I was about to take my shower, Cass ran inside the house excitedly, exclaiming “mum, come and look at what I saw, come. The moon is so huge!” With a headache from lack of sleep, I reluctantly went out to check out the moon. What greeted me was a super…

Winter weather means paying close attention to your wardrobe choices, including your footwear for the cold and slippery grounds outside. Many boots lovers prefer Shelivo winter boots when there’s snow on the ground or the weather is a mix of snow and rain. Here are three reasons why winter boots are the perfect choice for…
We Miss The Twinsies
The day that Cass and I returned to KL, the twinsies missed us, in particular Cass. So they asked Raelyne, their older sis to Whatsapp Cass to say that they will Whatsapp video call us at night. And so at around 9-ish that night, we had a Whatsapp video chat. It’s so good to hear…
Ipoh Trip (8 – 10 June 2022)
After 2 years 4 months I finally made a trip back to Ipoh with Cass. We took the 8.47 a.m. ETS train from KL Sentral to Ipoh. Traffic was super duper bad and we really thought that we would miss the train. Gawd, I was so so tensed throughout the journey from our house to…
The Day Before I Leave For Ipoh
Though it’s the school holidays, it doesn’t feel like a holiday for me as I still have school runs to do. I still wake up at 6.15 a.m. and have to be out of the house by 8.30 a.m. Sherilyn has athletics training in school every morning throughout the holiday week, for the upcoming MSSKL…
