Cass has figure skating class every Friday. She always eats something that’s not too heavy and low in carbs, yet healthy and yummy before the class. She then skates for almost 5 hours. She’s lucky she has a health freak mommy who supports her low-carbs meals and preps them for her ? As usual, Cass…

I have been busy the past week – with work and house chores. As Alycia can only use one hand temporarily, I have to do almost everything for her, from prepping her food to washing all her dishes, washing her water bottle and filling up water for her, cut her fruits, do her laundry, and…
Camera Crumbs
A dump of my camera crumbs to document the joyful moments here. Next to go on a holiday with me will be Sherilyn! No. of times viewed = 36
Cooking With Tennis Elbow
With a right hand that’s not 100% functional as I cannot lift heavy things, cooking has to be reduced to the bare minimum. Maria can only come to help me once or max twice a week now as she has other houses to go to, on top of her full-time job as a cleaner. She’s…
1 November 2023 ~Tuesday Meals
Today is the first day of the second last month of 2023! Soon we’ll be seeing Christmas decor in the shopping malls. It’s scary to see how fast time is flying by. And before we even have time to recoup from our Christmas shopping spending, then comes Chinese New Year, another very expensive festival ?….
Sweet Corn Pumpkin Soup
As Halloween creeps around the corner, it’s the perfect time to whip up some spooky delights that not only look fantastic but also taste amazing. What better way to celebrate than with a bowl of Sweet Corn Pumpkin Soup? It’s vibrant, velvety, and utterly scrumptious, making it a bewitching treat for the whole family. Ingredients…
A Relaxing Meal Week
This week was a pleasant departure from the usual kitchen duties as I savored a variety of delightful dishes without having to slog in the kitchen. With food from hubby’s kitchen gracing our table almost every day, the burden of cooking was significantly lightened. In addition, Sherilyn, was home for a few days as her…
Throwback Food Snaps
Sherilyn whipped up a big tray of grilled vegetables on Monday morning to make a simple Bibimbap bento to bring to work. I ate some of the grilled veggies for my lunch and hubs ate the remaining the next day. This is my favorite kind of meal and I can eat this every day. Our…
Saturday Night Dinner
Hubs is in Kota Kinabalu for 3 nights. Since it’s a Saturday night and we’re too lazy to go out, Shopee Food it is! After waiting for 40 minutes with no update that a driver has been assigned, I knew that the order would be cancelled. It’s the first day of Hari Raya and as…
My Week In Photos
The mil has extended her stay in Hong Kong until mid May. This means that I have to continue with the extra chore of cooking dinner. These days, I am not as finicky as I used to be with food served to the girls. Back in the days when the girls were younger, we used…
Friday, 7 April 2023
Cass gave me a scare yesterday when she told me that she had a cold and headache. I told her to do a Covid self-test. The first time she did the Covid test, a faint line appeared on the ‘T’ window and seconds later the line went up and disappeared! I told her to do…
Very Wet & Chilly Weather In KL
The weather has been very chilly, windy and wet. It’s been raining non-stop in KL and in other states for almost 3 days now. It’s so cold that I don’t even need to turn on the air-cond or fan at night. Besides getting to enjoy a cool weather for the past few days, the wet…
Chinese New Year 2023
Koong Hei Fatt Choy, peeps! I hope everyone is enjoying the Chinese New Year holidays with your family and loved ones. And for those of you who dread CNY and can’t wait for it to be over because it’s just so frigging exhausting with non-stop cooking, cleaning up, entertaining (hello nosy and insensitive relatives!), and…

I just realized that I have not updated this blog for 10 days. As you might already have guessed, I’ve been up to my eyeballs with work – house work this time. Maria our part-time maid of 10 years is pregnant with her second child and has been riddled with bad morning sickness. She’s not…
The Day Before I Leave For Ipoh
Though it’s the school holidays, it doesn’t feel like a holiday for me as I still have school runs to do. I still wake up at 6.15 a.m. and have to be out of the house by 8.30 a.m. Sherilyn has athletics training in school every morning throughout the holiday week, for the upcoming MSSKL…
Same Dish, Four Meals Consecutively
Before the mil left for Ipoh last Sunday during the Hari Raya holidays, she cooked a huge pot of brinjal with minced meat. The brinjals were from hubby’s central kitchen as he cleared his fridge. He usually clears the fridges at his kitchen when there’s a long break. The portion of braised brinjal with minced…
