Saturday, 20 March 2021 ~ Consultation With Cardiologist

I spent the entire morning today at the hospital. This time it was at SJMC with Sherilyn, to see a cardiologist! Sherilyn has been getting a nagging pressure with ‘clicky’ sounds on her sternum (breastbone) since Oct 2020. At times she feels lightheaded. She’s been hounding me to bring her to see a cardiologist for…

Sherilyn’s Home-Cooked Dishes

Sherilyn doesn’t cook and bake as much now than she did during the MCO months. However, she still tries to cook every other day, in between online classes.

Haru’s Spa Session

I recently bought several items from Shopee for Haru: a hammock, scratch board bed, squeaky toy mouse, peach scented food grade tofu litter and a hair brush (this is from Daiso). Haru didn’t like the hammock initially but she now loves to take her siesta on it. And while she enjoyed herself on the hammock,…

The Many Sides Of Haru Our Pet Kitten

Haru is much more than a kitten. We all think that she looks like a multiple- animal of sorts, all rolled into one little adorable kitten. She looks like a tiger cub, a leopard, a penguin, an oversized rat, a lizard (side profile of her face), a monkey, a racoon, a cheetah and of course…

8 March 2021 – Haru’s First Vaccination

Haru’s doting sisters followed her to the vet for her very first vaccine today, which is a 4-in-1 jab. The moment she was placed on the metal table, Haru started to hiss at the doctor and the hissing only got worse with growling and snarling whenever the doctor or his daughter touched her. It was…

Tteokbokki (Spicy Korean Rice Cake)

We had Tteokbokki for lunch today, made from scratch by our in-house teenage chef. This is not my kind of meal as I don’t like starchy food, so Sherilyn added hard boiled eggs for me. For dinner, she cooked Korean beef stew with the remaining Korean marinate sauce that she made (for Korean marinated pork…

Haru At Home

Haru always gets us laughing in the aisles with her antics, switching from a mischievous kitten to a clingy baby monkey, an iguana that claws its way up the mozzie net to a rat that runs across the living room to avoid being caught to be put back into the cage. She loves to keep…
