FollowI started off the day at 6:45 a.m. with the usual house chores while the entire family was still in lala land and then dragged Cass along to exercise with me at around 9:30 a.m. After walking up the stairs to the 18th floor and back to the 5th floor, Ms Lazybones didn’t want to…

MCO Day 30 ~ 16 April 2020 (Thursday)
Today is exactly one month that we’ve survived our country’s partial lockdown and home quarantine. Congrats to all our fellow Malaysians! We’ve all made it this far and we’ve got another 11 more days to go, hopefully. The total number of new cases have now gone down from triple digit to double digit for two…
MCO Day 27 ~13 April 2020
MCO Day 23 ~ 9 April 2020
Today is Cassandra’s 12th birthday! It’s another birthday celebration in house quarantine for our family but we are very, very blessed that hubs could still get sumptuous takeout food and cakes for dinner from Red Kettle, our favorite cafe in the neighborhood. This is not the first time that Cass has to spend her birthday…
MCO Day 20 ~ 6 April 2020
Some of the pet peeves that really vex me during the MCO: The littlest rascal hoarding my phone to attend online lessons whenever #2 hoards her dad’s laptop to attend her online lessons. Not only does the littlest rascal hoard my phone, she hoards my desktop PC simultaneously too, as she says she has to…
MCO Day 17 & 18 ~ 3 & 4 April 2020
Our condo Management issued a new circular to all the residents yesterday, with some new restrictions added to the already long list of prohibitions at the condo throughout the MCO. The new restriction prohibits residents from doing all forms of recreational activities within the compound of the condo! With this restriction, I can confirm that…
MCO Day 16 ~ 2 April 2020
Hubs and I went to town on a motorbike yesterday to get some groceries. Under the second phase of the MCO, only one person is allowed in a vehicle when they are out shopping for food and essential items. But we were both on a motorbike, defying the law blatantly. We were courting trouble and…
MCO Day 15 ~ 1 April 2020
The Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown in almost three quarter of the world seem to be the biggest April’s Fool Joke for the entire world’s population this year. If only this pandemic was indeed a joke and when we wake up tomorrow on 2 April 2020, things would be back to normal again. If. Only. Today…
MCO Day 11 ~ 28 March 2020
This morning I had a craving to eat bitter gourd pork noodles but there was no bitter gourd or fish balls in our fridge. As I’d skipped exercising in the morning, I decided to go to our neighborhood supermarket instead to pick up the items for our bitter gourd pork noodles tonight. The thought of the…
MCO Day 9 ~ 26 March 2020
Today the girls cooked brunch! Sausages are such a rare sight on HFM’s blogs but since the head of the family is now tasked to do the shopping, he buys not only what’s on the shopping list but also all his happy food items… like chips, sausages and instant noodles ? Here’s our brunch menu today,…
Home-cooked Meals By Sherilyn
I was feeling a little under the weather yesterday; was feeling that a cold and sore throat were about to attack me but I think my defense system is fighting those bugs very well. I’m feeling better now. I had the usual headache, bodyache and slight chills throughout the day. The mil had gone to…
Thursday, 26 Sept 2019
Today I woke up with a burst of energy, raring for it to be unleashed on the tracks. After 20 minutes of strength training, I ran a few rounds at the tracks but had to truncate my running session 15 minutes earlier to bring Sherilyn to school at 7 :15 a.m. She’s got another dance…

The haze situation finally eased a little in KL. Today we no longer smell acrid smog. I finally saw a few speckles of faint white clouds and a few splashes of pale blue and peach colors emerging from behind the grey hazy skies when I did my exercise at 6:30 this morning! Things like white clouds…
Day 2 Haze Holiday (19 Sept 2019)
The haze is still chokingly bad today. It looks and smells worse than the day before. Our windows and sliding door are shut all day and it’s terribly hot and stuffy inside, though all three fans are turned on in the living room. The girls pretty much stayed home all day but I made 5…
Pressure Cooker Pan-Fried Steak And Purple Sweet Potato Mash
Pan frying steaks, fish or chops is something that I will avoid like a plague as I hate cleaning up oil splatters. Thus, I leave this task to the mil and we only have fried fish and steaks whenever she’s around. But ever since mum gave me a Philips Pressure Cooker (PPC), I’ve become more…
It Takes A Village To Raise A Child
It’s been two weeks since my littlest one woke up and got disconnected from me and angry with me with no particular reason on the first day of school after the third term school holidays. Thank God she’s almost back to her usual self, though I wouldn’t say that her usual self was how she…
