After dropping off Sherilyn in school at 7:30 a.m. today, I went to tapau my favorite ‘yong liu’ from the roadside ‘chee cheong fun’ stall. Sherilyn is representing her school in athletics and needs daily training. I love it whenever she has to be in school early in the morning. Back home, I had a…

Simple & Wholesome Dishes For Busy Moms
For the past one week, I’ve been sitting in front of my computer typing away from morning till night with short breaks in between to cook and chauffeur the girls. Since early last week, I’ve churned out over 30 articles, most of which must be submitted to the advertiser within 24 hours. On some days,…
My First Dish Cooked With The Philips Pressure Cooker
The very first time I used my new Philips Pressure Cooker (PPC) was last week. I was a nervous wreck as I was worried that I would cause an ‘explosion’ and scar my pretty face (ahem!) if I release the pressure regulator at the wrong time. I have heard of horror stories on ‘explosion’ while…

The mil left for her 1.5 months long vacation in Hong Kong, Taiwan and Japan yesterday. Her departure means lesser time for myself and more hectic days ahead for me as I will have to be in charge of cooking the children’s meals. For those who read my blogs long enough, you would have read…
Potato And Cabbage Salad
Cass and I worked on this little project in the kitchen on our Sunday evening yesterday while Alycia and Sherilyn continued shopping with their grandma at Mid Valley Megamall. In the car, on our way back from Mid Valley, Cass and I were discussing what to have for dinner. We could not settle on anything…
Yummy Home-cooked Dishes
After more than a week of having dizzy spells from Vertigo, the mil felt much better two days ago. So glad that she’s feeling better as we get to have proper home-cooked dinners again ? Not that I am totally not made for the kitchen, but chopping garlic, onions and raw meat just ain’t my thing….
Two Teeth Extracted
After a wait of five months for all her major exams to be over, Alycia finally had the first two (of four!) of her teeth extracted yesterday. For aesthetics / braces purpose. It was a walk in the park for her. Praise the Lord!! But her mum was a nervous wreck. I did not even…
One Pot Porridge For Three Meals
Dancing Queen is feeling a little under the weather with a slight fever and on the verge of losing her voice. But she insisted that she wanted to go to school yesterday as she has to rehearse for a drama. Told her to call me if she could not hold on anymore. Her classroom is…
Exam Fever
Thai 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
On the eve of GE 14 today, it’s school off for Alycia and Drama Queen. Alycia gets 3 days off and Drama Queen gets 2 days off as their schools are used as polling station. Cass gets only one day on 9 May. Poor her and me. I was anticipating for an off day for…

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…
