TGIF – 20 May 2016 (A Close Shave!)

Yesterday morning was a hectic one for me. I was supposed to do some banking, fill up petrol in my car and do grocery shopping but some urgent work cropped up in the morning. I rushed out a customer’s membership application with a stack of forms to fill out, had it couriered to the Naturally…

Our Saturday – 23 Apr 2016

For once, Cass woke up earlier than me on Saturday! After a packet of Izumio hydrogenated water, she went downstairs and played badminton with grandma.  Later, she followed her daddy to the gym.  I stayed home to be the maid, quickly doing 2 rounds of laundry before we went out to meet some friends for…

Exam Is Over!

The first term exam is finally over for Sherilyn and Cass today, yeeeehawwww, yay yay yay!! Cass surprised me with the marks that she got for her Chinese paper 1 and paper 2 today. Never in my wildest dreams would I dare to dream that she would be getting marks in the 90s/100 for her Chinese test…

Health Freak Mommy’s Breakfast – 31 March 2016

My healthy low-fat, low-carb, low-cholesterol, high-nutrients breakkie today 🙂 Bright, fresh and crunchy baby radish with a slice of cool cantaloupe. Pork bone soup with radish and carrots. The soup was meant for dinner last night but at an eleventh hour change of plan, we ate out. So we’re going to eat last night’s dinner…

Random Events – 30 March 2016

Today is one of those days that I made a trip to school to check on Cass.  Her school  organized a free watermelon day today, with mothers as volunteers.  I was caught by surprise when I saw a gazillion of watermelons at the lobby.  All the students were treated to freshly juiced and cut watermelon…

Our Sunday – 20 March 2016

To escape the predicted heat wave due to the equinox phenomenon today, we sought ‘refuge’ at Mid Valley Megamall. But what do we know? It ain’t that hot after all! Well, the heat was bearable. When we left the mall at 3ish pm, the skies were gloomy and it drizzled a wee bit too. Let’s…

Lup Chun Day – 4 February 2016

Chinese New Year mood is in the air with just 2 more days to go before we roll into the year of the Monkey! Yesterday hubs and I did our shopping for ‘kam’ (Mandarin oranges) and gifts for the girls’ teachers and his clients. I’ve always loved the atmosphere at shopping malls pre and during…

My Wednesday – 6 January 2016

Haih… and so the nasty chi that circulated around me yesterday attacked me right up to the moment I clambered onto bed at the stroke of midnight.  I thought that after calling it off for the day, the bad chi would end but NAY! The moment I plonked onto bed, I felt a crick on…

Our First Sunday in 2016 (3 January 2016)

Today is the last day of the girls’ 6-week long school holidays. Woohoo, finally we are thrown back into reality and routine. I like routine. I miss my pre-dawn swim in the chilly pool, the walk at the tracks during pre-dawn in sheer peace, silence and darkness and workout in the gym in the early morning….

Our Sunday In Ipoh – 20 December 2015

Today is chillaxing day at home for the kids and me, while my dear papa and mum are slogging in the kitchen to prepare all our favorite food. Papa has been working in the kitchen doing all the prep for tonight’s  home-cooked dishes while mum has been prepping the black sesame paste, peanut paste, pandan…

It’s Alycia’s 12th Birthday Today!

My precious baby turns 12 today! The day I found out that the IUI fertility treatment that hubs and I went through together was a success (i.e. we conceived Alycia) and the day I first saw Alycia 12 years ago today were the happiest days in my life! There are no celebrations lined up today…

Monday Brunch – 30 November 2015

This morning, I managed to force my lazy arse off my comfy bed at 6:30am to swim after taking a 1-week break. But it was still drizzling. I was disappointed, yet a tad happy that I needn’t have to jump into the icy cold water so early in the morning while everyone else was still…
