FollowThai cave boys fever is over, so is football fever. In comes exam fever now and this fever takes years away from my life, prematurely! This girl is a vomit-blood inducing kid. I kid you not. She wasn’t like this when she was much younger. She was the cute as a button, obedient, angelic little…

Chinese Egg Fried Rice / Golden Fried Rice
Tuesday, 24 April 2018
It’s day two of Cass’ first term exam and she sat for her Chinese Understanding, Chinese Writing and Moral papers today. Chinese has always been the toughest subject for Cass, so is BM. She hardly reads Chinese and BM novels. She barely ever talks in BM, does not attend BM tuition and the only practice…
Colorful Meals
I love colorful meals cooked using only naturally colored ingredients. I love colorful clothes too. I just love anything that’s colorful as it makes my life more colorful! Bright colors make me happy. Happy colors seem to do the magic in lifting me up from my doldrums. I have a ‘lucky dress’ which I will…

This morning, Alycia’s transporter left her behind when he came to the condo to pick up another student. Maybe the driver was a minute or two earlier today and he didn’t even have the courtesy to give us a call to inform us that he was here. How dare he! Thankfully Cass’ transporter came and…

Lunch today was just me with Drama Queen and Cass. Alycia accompanied her grandma to Sunway Medical Center (SYMC) for a medical check up. As a reward for accompanying grandma, she got a treat of Starbucks sandwiches and coffee for breakfast and McD burger for lunch from grandma! The girls love going to SYMC because…
Canyon Spice Curry Roux For Kids
About 2 weeks before the mil was due to return to KL from Hong Kong, she shipped a box of goodies back to us. As per usual practice, she always couriers a BIG box of goodies back to KL after her long vacation traveling the world. That’s the ‘treasure box’ that the girls look forward…
Simple Bento Lunch Boxes For Cassandra
Cass has grown terribly fed-up of having bread and buns for recess in school, or even to have them as breakfast at home. She loathes at the sight of buns now. She used to love bread but I guess she’s had enough of anything that’s doughy from the same bakeries most of the time. She…
Friday Lunch ~ 23 February 2018
Drama Queen and I have been tucking into lunches at our neighborhood shops almost daily since the start of the school year in January this year. After lunch, I will drop her off in school. It’s the first time that she’s in an afternoon session in school. After about a month of having noodles, chicken…
Macaroni And Cheese With Grilled Chicken Drummets
Wednesday evenings are hectic for me. After prepping dinner, I rush off to fetch Drama Queen from school. She only has about 15-20 minutes to eat her dinner before I send her to the tuition center. Her BM tuition class starts at 7:30 p.m. So I always plan a quickie home-cooked dinner for Wednesdays. And…
Home-made Meat Patties / Burger
Since it was a public holiday yesterday, I decided to embark on a little project that’s been long sitting in my bucket list ~ making burgers. The girls LOVE burgers ~ Burger King and Mac Donalds especially but this is an occasional holiday food. We only eat burgers when we travel back to Ipoh by…
Monday Dinner – 29 Jan 2018
Malaysia’s ‘summer’ is slowly rearing its ugly head. This also means that Chinese New Year is coming soon. Though it’s been raining almost daily, the weather has been really hot and stuffy. Even when it’s pouring hard, it’s still not cooling but humid. Today I showered 5 times (washed my hair 3 times!). When I’m…
Home Cooked Dinners (22 ~ 24 January 2018)
Hello everyone! Sorry for the lack of update in my blogs. I’ve been busier than in previous years ever since Drama Queen started attending high school this year. I have extra school runs and tuition runs to do (from morning through night) and an extra chore job of cooking dinner (and sometimes lunch) as the mil…
Baked Cheese Fried Rice
I have about 10 minutes for this post before I make a dash to the kitchen to dish out yet another quickie dinner in under an hour before the final school run of the day. Every evening is a mad rush in the kitchen and then to school. Traffic is horrendous whenever it rains. Yesterday…
Grilled Chicken In Lemon Garlic Butter Pumpkin Sauce
Hello to my new favorite grilled chicken in lemony, garlicky, buttery and pumpkin sauce! This recipe is not what I intended to prep in the first place. I had wanted to prep a lemon garlic and butter sauce for my grilled chicken but I didn’t have any chicken stock with me, thus I used my…
