FollowI used to eat raw veggie salads and microgreens quite a bit. The leafy greens and vegetables are a good source of natural fiber and contain beneficial plant chemicals which help to reduce bad cholesterol, control blood sugar and fight diseases. I only buy organic or pesticide-free veggies, especially if they are to be eaten…

Shopping For Stationery Items During The Lockdown
Shopping for stationery items for the kids during the lockdown be like this: Yesterday I went to Mr DIY after being hounded by Cass and Sherilyn for days. Sherilyn who’s sitting for her mid-term exam (online) needed pens and Cass broke her mechanical pencil. Her ear phones also conked out and she needed a new…
Do You Really Need A Pulse Oximeter During The Covid-19 Pandemic
As Covid-19 continues to spread and mutate in most parts of the world, a small medical device called a pulse oximeter has started to fly off the shelves, making it an essential medical device in a Covid-era home. With our country’s hospitals on the verge of paralysis caused by a surge of Covid cases and…

This morning I woke up to a pleasant surprise. My MySejahtera app has been updated with the date of my 2nd dose appointment for the AstraZeneca vaccine. The interval between my first and second dose is 33 days, which is a tad long as compared to Pfizer recipients (my parents in Ipoh are one of…
Going Nuts This Lockdown
I’m going nuts as the full lockdown continues with the number of Covid cases showing no sign of abatement and I’m also snacking on a lot on nuts to get enough calories to slog around the house. With 5 ladies in the house 24/7, the floor is perpetually dusty with hair, dust (construction just next…
Lockdown Home-cooked Dishes By Our Teenage Chef
Sherilyn grasps every opportunity that she has in between online classes and dance & guitar classes to cook. When one has a burning passion in cooking (and of course eating!), one will not find it stressful to slog for hours in the kitchen to churn out comforting food for the tummy. I notice this in…
Lockdown Home-cooked Meals By My Teenage Chefs
Sherilyn has been busy with back to back online classes, tuition, online guitar classes and dance classes & practice for an online dance competition, thus has not been cooking and baking as much as she’d like to. Yesterday she managed to squeeze out some time to prep Sukiyaki. She even made the Sukiyaki sauce from…
Online Shopping
With another full lockdown enforced, I’ve found an outlet to release my boredom and stress through online shopping ?. I get so much self-satisfaction grabbing free shipping and cashback (sometimes up to 50% on cashback!) vouchers, thus saving tons of ??. These days, I buy most of my stuff via online shopping – from laundry…

We had some excess food from hubby’s shop today and my thought immediately went to Maria. I’ve been wanting to send her food ever since we told her to stop coming to our house temporarily until the number of Covid cases go down and stabilizes. We have a very vulnerable folk at home and do…
Our Teenage Chef’s Home-cooked Dishes
Lately Sherilyn has not been cooking and baking as much as she used to. She’s been busy with dance rehearsals and online classes as the new school term has just commenced. She now sleeps at 10pm and wakes up at 6am to do her dance practice and feed Haru before taking a quick shower and…

After a long wait for the Covid-19 vaccine, I finally had my 1st dose of AstraZeneca (AZ) vaccine at Universiti Malaya today. My appointment was at 5:30pm and the mil’s at 7:30pm.

Sunday, 30 May 2021 ~ Random Updates
Our country will go into a total lockdown for the second time effective 1 June 2021. All business sectors will be closed except for 17 essential sectors. It looks like Sherilyn and Cass will continue to have online learning for at least 2 or 3 more months. And hubby’s catering business will continue to bear…

My third chemical and pesticide-free veggie box from Farm To Home Delivery arrived! I always look forward to our weekly veggie box and the mil is even more excited that I am ? In case you’re wondering if we managed to finish so much veggies in a week, yes we did! Thus, it’s a breeze…
