Ruay Thai BBQ Restaurant

Lunch with the hubs, girls and mil today was supposed to be at Seng Kee, our favorite ‘tai chau’ restaurant, but it was closed.  We then tried Ruay Thai, a newly opened Thai restaurant as the RM12 set lunch promotion banner outside the shop caught my eyes as I was driving.  Good thing we gave…

Canyon Spice Curry Roux For Kids

About 2 weeks before the mil was due to return to KL from Hong Kong, she shipped a box of goodies back to us. As per usual practice, she always couriers a BIG box of goodies back to KL after her long vacation traveling the world. That’s the ‘treasure box’ that the girls look forward…

This is a must read post for everyone! It could save you from trouble, inconvenience and loss of money. Scammers are ubiquitous lately. Who knows, as I’m typing this post, a scammer is already lurking around waiting to hack my blog or post a scam comment. While I was in slumberland  early today, some crooks…

Saturday, 12 March 2018

I sacrificed  spent my Saturday morning (forgoing my desperately needed beauty sleep) to  accompany Cass at her school’s yearly jogathon.  An hour before we left the house, it rained heavily. I got ready the rain coats just in case we needed to wear them during the run.  Thank God it stopped  raining when we left the…

Grandma’s Back

Grandma’s back from New Zealand, Japan and Hong Kong! What the girls really look forward to each time grandma’s back from overseas  is this… Ransacking grandma’s luggage bags to find treasure! Every time grandma’s back, everyone is sure to get something and lots and lots of expensive snacks (something that I hardly get for them…

My Monday Morning

For the past few mornings, I’ve been bumping into a putu mayam seller at the news stand.  Each time I see him on his bike, I’d have the urge to get a few pieces of putu mayam from him. It’s been coon’s age since I last ate putu mayam and I miss it.   It’s one…

Random Matters

As I tore off the February page off my calendar and ticked the 1st March box, I realized how terribly fast time has flew past us.  And I realized that I am on the cusp of touching 45.  I certainly don’t feel and look anywhere near 45 but knowing that Alycia my eldest daughter will…

Cheesy Online Purchase And I Discovered Something!

I’ve always thought that I am DIY-challenged. I hate anything that’s DIY, including Lego blocks. I have zero patience for DIY stuff. I think they are a waste of my time.  Thus, I never buy DIY furniture and fixtures.  Why waste an hour assembling a furniture when you can buy ready-made ones? I just don’t…

Homemade Natural Baby Powder

I am a sucker for baby powder. I cannot live without it, literally.  I’ve used baby powder all my life. After each shower, I lather my body generously with baby powder.  Just LOVE the smell of baby powder. Who doesn’t love the smell of babies, yeah?  And who doesn’t love the dry feeling under the…

Drama Queen and I have been tucking into lunches at our neighborhood shops almost daily since the start of the school year in January this year. After lunch, I will drop her off in school.  It’s the first time that she’s in an afternoon session in school.   After about a month of having noodles, chicken…

Chinese New Year 2018 ~ Day 1 (16 February 2018)

Our Uber driver came at 7:15 a.m. to fetch us to the KL Sentral Station to catch the 8 a.m. ETS to Ipoh.  Thankfully traffic was light and we even managed to grab some light breakfast snacks from McD to be eaten on the train. I ordered a McD Bubur Ayam (chicken porridge) Happy Meal…

Tuesday, 13 February 2018

Today I had another opportunity for a few hours of morning ME TIME as Drama Queen had to be in school at 9 a.m. for her weekly librarian meeting.  Ever since she started high school, I hardly have the time to go out for more than two hours as my morning time is reserved just…
