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…
Dong Zhi Festival 2013 In Ipoh
The girls woke up very early this morning, despite hitting the sack past midnight last night. They were looking forward to follow koong koong and granny to the wet market @ Kg. Simee. Though the wet market has never been a place that I like to go to, I want my kids to get used…
Dad’s 70th Birthday Celebration
The girls had a great time bonding with their youngest cousin, Raelyne when we were in Ipoh last weekend to celebrate my dad’s 70th birthday. Raelyne is my eldest brother’s only daughter. They live in Singapore. Cass used to be the youngest and most pampered member in the family but this ‘baby position’ has since…
Father’s Day 2013
It was a day for the dads on Sunday but the hubs let his angels and me choose the venue for lunch. Since we were at The Gardens (well, our main intention was to go to Professor, the uniform shop to get Alycia some stuff), we chose Sushi Zanmai again. It’s pretty much a suspense…
13th Wedding Anniversary
27 May 2013 marked the 13th anniversary of our wedding. And the best gift is being able to celebrate it with the hubs and our 3 angels. We had an enjoyable time at the Westin Hotel over the weekend and had the usual cake cutting cum photo session at home to mark our 13th…
Happy Mother’s Day!
I received a big surprise in the post box on Friday. It was a handmade Mother’s Day card from one of my blog readers!! This is the same lady who made me a Mother’s Day card last year! Last year, the card was pink and the hand-sewn alphabet on the card was the letter ‘S’….
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…
Cassandra’s 5th Birthday Dinner
In 3 days, Baby C will turn 5!! Baby C is the moniker that I used in my blogs to refer to Cassandra ever since she was born and I stopped using this nick name as I feel that she is too old to be called a baby. But in my eyes, she will forever…
We Are Back In Ipoh!
We are back in the land that many beauty queens originate from, the land of pomelos, scenic limestone hills, crunchy bean sprouts and haven for one of the best hawkers fare in the world, my beloved Ipoh! This morning, Alycia and Sherilyn participated in the yearly All Souls Day or Qing Ming with their daddy,…
End Of CNY Holidays
Today we are all back to the grind after a 1-week CNY break, with me having to wake up at 5am despite getting very little sleep last night as it was Chor 8 (we call it the night of fireworks!), the most important celebration for the Hokkiens. I wonder how my 3 girls can sleep…
Our X’mas Eve – 23 Dec 2012
We had dinner at Han Room @ Gardens Mid Valley with some good friends on X’mas Eve 2012. After dinner, we adjourned to Fresca Mexican Kitchen just opposite Han Room to have some drinks. But the hubs being the foodie that he is, ordered more food, juice for the girls and alcoholic drinks for the…
13th Anniversary of our ROM
Hubs and I registered our marriage on 9 September 1999. 8 months later on 27 May 2000 we held the customary Chinese wedding ceremony and dinner. 12 years on, we celebrated our big day with 3 angels. I did not expect this forgetful man of mine to even remember the big day, let alone surprise…
Our Teachers’ Day Gifts
Years ago, I only needed to buy 1 gift during Teachers’ Day and it was only for Alycia’s teacher. Then when Sherilyn went to pre-school, I had to buy 2. Now that they are in primary school where Teachers’ Day is celebrated on a grander scale with a party and all that jazz, my 2…
The Girls Welcomed Their New Baby Cousin
We finally got to meet a new addition to our family – baby Raelyne (BBR), who is the first child of my eldest brother and sil in Singapore. Though BBR was born in December last year in Singapore, her very belated full-moon party was only held yesterday at the pool-side of our condo. The girls…
Valentines Day 2012
I never expected to get a bouquet of flowers from my dear hubs this Valentine’s Day. Ever since the girls came along, our Valentine’s Day came and go without much fanfare, except for a cake. And we normally get a cake just so the kids could have fun cutting, blowing the candles (1 candle each…
