I 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 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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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. The mil went with me hoping to be allowed into the hall though her slot was 2 hours later. Thankfully the staff allowed…
Tomorrow will be my turn to be vaccinated with AstraZeneca! Venue is at Universiti Malaya. The mil is also having hers tomorrow at the same venue, 2 hours later. So we’re be going together. Hubs had his AZ vaccine on 23 May 2021 and all was well with him. He had almost no side effects,…
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…
Alycia left home at 7 a.m. today to sit for an online Undang-Undang (traffic laws) test at the driving academy in Puchong and armed with double face masks, goggles, disinfecting wipes (with claims that it can kill Coronavirus) and sanitizer ?. She passed the test. Everything was done in under 3 hours and she was…
My sweet eldest daughter got up early to prep a surprise breakfast for me and her grandma. The one who hates cooking, can’t even cook a decent meal for us and abhors all kitchen chores actually cranked up the stove to cook me breakfast!! She also made us fresh orange + lemon juice using a…
