I just realized that tomorrow is Sunday and I still haven’t posted food photos that we took last Sunday when we were at Bangsar South (AGAIN!) for lunch. I have a hunch that the hubs will be going there again for lunch tomorrow, or even for dinner tonight! The bite-list at Bangsar South is replete with…

Cassandra’s First Field Trip
I was already up at 4:30 a.m. on Saturday to ensure that Cass reaches school by 7 a.m. for her maiden one-day field trip organized by her school for Primary 5 students. Places covered include a soy sauce factory, a theater at The Curve, a Nyonya kuih factory and lunch in Selayang. She’s waited for…
So Who Died Ah?
After the fatal heart attack incident at our apartment two days ago, many residents including me, were curious to know who the deceased was. We only knew that he was a large size Indian man with a beer belly. All the residents whom I bumped into asked me if the deceased was my opposite neighbor,…
Creepy Day
Our evening today ended with everyone shaken by a grisly incident at our apartment gym. Alycia who was at the library with her friend and Math tutor witnessed a death scene at the gym. The library is located opposite the gym. A man who was lifting weights at the gym suddenly collapsed onto the floor…
Sunday, 29 Sept 2019
Today the mil returned from New Zealand after a 2-month long holiday. She came home early in the morning while the girls were still in bed. Today is also the eve of Cass and Alycia’s final exams for 2019! Despite today being a Sunday, the girls got up at 7:30 a.m. to welcome grandma home…
Thursday, 26 Sept 2019
Today I woke up with a burst of energy, raring for it to be unleashed on the tracks. After 20 minutes of strength training, I ran a few rounds at the tracks but had to truncate my running session 15 minutes earlier to bring Sherilyn to school at 7 :15 a.m. She’s got another dance…
Tuesday, 24 Sept 2019
The haze situation finally eased a little in KL. Today we no longer smell acrid smog. I finally saw a few speckles of faint white clouds and a few splashes of pale blue and peach colors emerging from behind the grey hazy skies when I did my exercise at 6:30 this morning! Things like white clouds…
Back To Her Old Self
I’m so relieved that Cass is back to her usual self now. She’s no longer giving me the cold shoulder. Last month on the first day of school after the third term school break, she woke up and morphed into a girl I barely recognized ~ stroppy, surly and extremely moody. And this went on…
Day 2 Haze Holiday (19 Sept 2019)
The haze is still chokingly bad today. It looks and smells worse than the day before. Our windows and sliding door are shut all day and it’s terribly hot and stuffy inside, though all three fans are turned on in the living room. The girls pretty much stayed home all day but I made 5…
Rasa Viet By Xin Chao Viet Nam @ The Sphere, Bangsar South
The Sphere is now the foodie hubby’s favorite place to hangout on weekends and public holidays. He likes this place as finding a place to park is a breeze and traffic is not crazy unlike at Mid Valley Megamall or in the heart of KL. Each time we visit, a new restaurant pops out. When…
Random Updates
The littlest one is back to her usual self finally and we’ve started to have our nightly before bedtime light-hearted chats on the bed once again. But as with most cuddly toddlers who turn into tweens and teenagers, she still greets any public display of warmth with revulsion and sullenness. Grown children do not want…
Sensenique Natural “Betaine, Sulfate & Silicone Free” Hair & Body Wash
I wash my hair twice a day and sometimes even thrice a day as I exercise, cook and walk under the sun (thus sweat buckets!) almost every day. Thus, I have to use a mild shampoo that will not dry or irritate my scalp. I also have mild folliculitis on a few hair follicles on…
Pressure Cooker Pan-Fried Steak And Purple Sweet Potato Mash
Pan frying steaks, fish or chops is something that I will avoid like a plague as I hate cleaning up oil splatters. Thus, I leave this task to the mil and we only have fried fish and steaks whenever she’s around. But ever since mum gave me a Philips Pressure Cooker (PPC), I’ve become more…
What Is a Compounding Pharmacy?
Prescriptions offer a variety of healing benefits for patients. They are used to target specific issues, alleviate pain or fight off viruses and bacteria. Not only can the right prescription medication make you feel better, but they can help you overcome diseases, common illnesses and mental health issues. Doctors may prescribe either a common medication…
Nursing The Girl Back To Health
Alycia has been down with a stomach flu and absent from school for 3 days. Besides napping and doing a wee bit of revision, her eyes have been glued to her phone, watching K-dramas and K-pop videos. She’s supposed to eat clear porridge but this girl would ? at the sight of porridge. She wanted to eat…
Monday, 3 Sept 2019
Alycia’s down with a stomach flu today. She puked at midnight but didn’t let me know until the next morning. She had to skip school today as she was running to the bathroom to evacuate every few hourly. I was supposed to bring her to the clinic to get an MC but I’ve been so…
