Mother’s Day 2014
It was two days straight of digging into glorious food at new eateries, starting from Saturday nite through Sunday. For the hubs, there is always no better way to celebrate an occasion than to do it and to show it with good food with his loved ones. On Saturday nite, he brought us to Muugu…
Cassandra’s 6th Birthday – 9 April 2014
This year will be the final year Cass gets to celebrate her birthday in school with her classmates. When she goes to primary school next year, it is serious business, seriously no birthday celebrations in class, what more in a Chinese school. What to do, hubster is 101% resolute that all his kids MUST go…
On The Eve Of Turning Six
Here’s my baby girl on the eve of turning 6. Yes SIX finally! God, please bless this very adorable fighter who is the light of my life. This afternoon after school, her daddy and I brought her to the bakery, for her to choose the design for her birthday cake. She requested for a birthday…
Touch & Go Weekend in Ipoh
We went back to Ipoh for a short weekend stay yesterday. Within 24 hours, we managed to celebrate my 21st birthday and brought the girls to the graveyard for Tomb Sweeping day early this morning… and of course got roasted under the ferocious sun when we reached the third and last tomb to pay respect…

A Glimpse of Chinese New Year 2014
Chinese New Year 2014

There would be a stir-fried vegetarian vermicelli and a ‘jai’ dish (dish made up of Chinese cabbage, wood fungus, mushrooms, golden needle mushrooms, glass noodles and fermented red…
Chinese New Year Shopping… Again
This morning, after sending my car for a wash, hubs and I went to do our CNY shopping at a nearby mini mart. I love shopping at this mini mart as it carries a wide variety of fresh produce, organic food stuff and Japanese food stuff. Prices are reasonable and the fresh produce as well…
New Year’s Eve & Happy 2014
Though I had a very turbulent time in 2013, I must say that the last few days of 2013 were one of my best for the year. I’ve had innumerable depressing days contributed by the kids, online business and family matters but I’m glad that I managed to surmount them all and my head was…

They live in Singapore. Cass used to be the youngest and most pampered member in the family but this ‘baby position’ has since…

Our Tuesday – 9 April 2013
Today after my ‘refresher driving lesson’ with hubs, I told him that we should avoid having another fattening breakfast. I’ve had enough of pastries and sausages from Ficelle for the past one week and I certainly did not want to eat noodles, rice or any carbs. So after dropping off Cass in school, we stopped…
