Helloooo!
Hey everyone, HFM is back! Sorry for the lack of updates. I haven’t been out of town but have been hibernating at home, dishing out not dishes but close to 40 articles for my online boss. That’s an average of between six to eight articles a day. This marathon of assignments reminds me of the…
Different Kind of Hide-And-Seek
There’s a different kind of hide-and-seek game in our home. It’s a “mum hides gadget, mum soon forgets hiding place, kids look high and low for it and finally gadget pops out when you least expect it” sort of game. All the time. Because mum has too many things to sort out in her mind…
Dealing With Generation Z Kids
Yesterday, for the first time Sherilyn had to walk to school. On her own. I know it’s no biggie for most 14-year olds as the school is only a 10-15 minutes stroll away from home. But I do not trust this girl of mine to walk to school alone as she can be pretty impulsive,…

Healthy Meals In A Jiffy
Monday’s dinner was just pork jerky on toast as I was too pressed for time to cook a proper meal. Hubs brought me to Mid Valley Megamall in the afternoon to send my Osim uJolly portable massage chair for repair but I ended up trading in my faulty massager and bought a new one! When…

Izumio & Super Lutein – Super Good Promotion Until 28 February 2019
Cass has been drinking Izumio hydrogen water for 4 years. I stopped drinking Izumio last year for about half a year as I wanted to see if stopping it would mean a weaker immune system for myself. And hell yes, I kept getting the sniffles and sore throat so frequently that I started to drink Izumio…
Growth Spurt
Cass after a Chinese New Year celebration in school today: Cass used to love wearing cheongsam and princessy gowns to such events in school but she no longer likes them now. Not even an iota. She tells me very often that she hates dresses, lipstick, make-up and high heels and that she will never ever…
