FollowIt’s the last day of 2018 already? I can’t believe how fast the year zoomed past us like a bullet train. Time is really like a thief! How I wish I could freeze all those good times. This year has been pretty good to me and my family. Health-wise, all started well until the very…

Saturday, 1 December 2018
We spent the first day of the last month in 2018 away from home almost the entire day. It was a daycation of sorts as we were at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel from morning through midnight to attend the wedding of our very close and dear family friend, Jess’ daughter. The theme of the wedding…
Papa & Mum’s 48th Wedding Anniversary
My parents were in KL over the weekend. My 75-year old papa drove from Ipoh. Praise Lord again for bringing them safely to KL and back to Ipoh. They were here for a double celebration: my cousin’s baby girl’s full moon party on Saturday and their 48th wedding anniversary celebration on Sunday. Mum received several…
Mid Autumn Festival (Monday, 24 Sept 2018)
As in previous years, it is a school-declared holiday for Cass today as she’s from a Chinese school. It’s a normal school day for Drama Queen and Alycia. The mil whipped up a few simple dishes for dinner. We had sauteed petai (stinky beans) with shrimps, Three Cups Chicken (a Taiwanese dish), Huai San and…
Papa’s 75th Birthday Celebration (continuation…)
After a heavy brunch at Vishal Food & Catering Restaurant on papa’s actual birthday, the hubs drove us around KL for a short sight-seeing city tour. Then he brought us to Naj & Belle @ Bangsar for a surprise mini celebration for papa. It’s my first time at this cafe. Above 3 photos credit: Google…
Joint Birthday Celebration, 18 August 2018
This year papa’s birthday is very special. He turns 75 today (19 August 2018). We planned 2 days filled with celebrations and surprises for him. And this year papa had a joint birthday celebration with his twin grandbabies (my brother’s twins) who will be turning one on 1 Sept 2018. We’ve had back to back feasts…
Mother’s Day 2018
On Mother’s Day Sunday, I was rushing to complete the usual chores at home before church service at 9 a.m. After 2 rounds of laundry, boiled 2 rounds of water and mopped the floor, I was sweating bullets. Then my Alycia, the least expected one, the one with royal fingers who doesn’t like to dirty…
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…
Christmas (25 December 2017)
Happy new year to all my blog readers! Sorry for the lack of update. I’ve been pretty busy since I got back from Singapore two weeks ago. With my parents here in KL to celebrate the year end festivities and the hubs’ birthday with us, we have been out of the house everyday. I’ve gorged…
Mother’s Day – 14 May 2017
My 44th Birthday – 29 March 2017
It was a low-key celebration again as it was on a school day and the girls have school the next morning. We went to a nearby Japanese restaurant for dinner and then went home for the cake-cutting and camwhoring thingy. Drama Queen trying her hand at strumming ‘Happy Birthday’ with the ukulele. She’s been attending…
2017 CNY Eve & “Chor Yat”
Eve Of New Year’s Eve – 30 Dec 2016
Today is the hubs’ birthday. He turns 45. For some personal reasons, he does not like to celebrate his birthday, not even to have a birthday cake. He prefers a low key birthday celebration. So we had a simple lunch at our favorite cafe – Red Kettle with no cake but with Portugese egg tarts,…
Christmas Eve 2016
We spent our Christmas Eve morning doing last minute shopping for gifts…. again. The hubs brought us to the Nike shop and bought everyone a pair of Nike shoes for Christmas 😀 In the afternoon, my VVIP guests from Ipoh and Singapore arrived! Dinner was at our favorite neighborhood Chinese restaurant – Seng Kee Kitchen.…
Dong Zhi 2016
Today Alycia & Sherilyn went Christmas shopping with their grandma and two grandaunts. Cass and I had Japanese for lunch with the hubs after sending my car to the Hyundai service center for repair. So hungry was she that the moment the server placed the bento set on the table, she grabbed the potato salad…

My mum celebrated her 70th birthday in KL this year. My parents and younger brother, Roy arrived from Taiwan on Friday afternoon. They had earlier gone on a week-long cruise from Taiwan to Okinawa in Japan. Thank God they survived a nauseous and choppy ride on board a cruise liner amidst Typhoon Meranti when she…
