FollowToday is Cassandra’s 12th birthday! It’s another birthday celebration in house quarantine for our family but we are very, very blessed that hubs could still get sumptuous takeout food and cakes for dinner from Red Kettle, our favorite cafe in the neighborhood. This is not the first time that Cass has to spend her birthday…

MCO Day 20 ~ 6 April 2020
Some of the pet peeves that really vex me during the MCO: The littlest rascal hoarding my phone to attend online lessons whenever #2 hoards her dad’s laptop to attend her online lessons. Not only does the littlest rascal hoard my phone, she hoards my desktop PC simultaneously too, as she says she has to…
MCO Day 17 & 18 ~ 3 & 4 April 2020
Our condo Management issued a new circular to all the residents yesterday, with some new restrictions added to the already long list of prohibitions at the condo throughout the MCO. The new restriction prohibits residents from doing all forms of recreational activities within the compound of the condo! With this restriction, I can confirm that…
MCO Day 16 ~ 2 April 2020
Hubs and I went to town on a motorbike yesterday to get some groceries. Under the second phase of the MCO, only one person is allowed in a vehicle when they are out shopping for food and essential items. But we were both on a motorbike, defying the law blatantly. We were courting trouble and…
MCO Day 15 ~ 1 April 2020
The Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown in almost three quarter of the world seem to be the biggest April’s Fool Joke for the entire world’s population this year. If only this pandemic was indeed a joke and when we wake up tomorrow on 2 April 2020, things would be back to normal again. If. Only. Today…
MCO Day 11 ~ 28 March 2020
This morning I had a craving to eat bitter gourd pork noodles but there was no bitter gourd or fish balls in our fridge. As I’d skipped exercising in the morning, I decided to go to our neighborhood supermarket instead to pick up the items for our bitter gourd pork noodles tonight. The thought of the…
Protecting Ourselves From Covid-19
During the initial days of Covid-19 in late January / early February 2020 when Malaysia only had a handful of cases, it didn’t strike us that we would need to stock up on face masks and hand sanitizer. No one saw that a month on, our country would go on a partial lockdown. When the…
MCO Day 9 ~ 26 March 2020
Today the girls cooked brunch! Sausages are such a rare sight on HFM’s blogs but since the head of the family is now tasked to do the shopping, he buys not only what’s on the shopping list but also all his happy food items… like chips, sausages and instant noodles ? Here’s our brunch menu today,…
MCO Day 7 ~ 24 March 2020
Besides updating my blogs on what we cooked and ate throughout our MCO house quarantine, there’s really nothing much to update about. What else can we do besides cooking, eating, moping, cleaning, glued to the phone and computer and sleep? And the whole cycle repeats the next day, everyday, for God knows how long more. …
MCO Day 6 – 23 March 2020
Today we didn’t have to cook brunch at home, yes! Brunch of delish nasi lemak, Mee Siam and ayam goreng berempah (spiced fried chicken) was collected from hubby’s kitchen as he has food box packing for a corporate event today. I heart those crispy fried spices from the fried chicken, composed of lemon grass, onions,…
MCO Day 4 (Saturday, 21 March 2020)
Today hubs and I went out at 9-ish in the morning, hoping to get some essential items from D Market but the moment I stepped into the supermarket, the long queue at the entrance horrified me. It was a mass gathering of panic shoppers! Had I join in the queue, our shopping trip would take…
Movement Control Order (MCO) Day 1 & 2
Food Safety In The Wake Of Covid-19
In light of the current state of play of Coronavirus, I’d like to share some food safety tips that you can practise at home. We’re also practising these precautions at home. In case you don’t already know, Coronavirus is believed to be able to survive up to 3 days on surfaces. Scary! The other day, the…
Movement Control Order
So my worst fear came true. Last night at 10 p.m. our prime minister announced that a Movement Control Order (MCO) will be invoked in Malaysia for 2 weeks from 18 March through 31 March 2020. It’s like a partial lockdown. With this, government and private premises would be closed except those providing essential services. Although hubby’s business…
