FollowCass spent her Saturday practising her piano pieces before class in the evening and learning to draw from You Tube, via our new 55-inch screen TV with WiFi. The girls rule the new TV. I don’t even have the opportunity to try out the new TV. After dinner of salted duck’s egg roe crabs plus…

Our Wednesday – 14 October 2015
It’s a public holiday today, so off we headed to Avenue K for some food and retail therapy! After our delightful brunch at Bankara Ramen, the girls charged their most favored place – Popular bookstore. Bankara Raman is a Tokyo-based noodle chain that serves good quality authentic Japanese noodles and cuisine. If you’re looking to…
Comfort Food – Spicy Indian Cuisine
Yesterday morning I was in the mood to eat something spicy with a touch of Indian spices. I was bored of eating bread, oats and crackers for breakfast. I wanted to add some spice to my Friday morning and I knew that the girls would love to have spicy Indian food for lunch too. They…
Stressful Monday – 7 October 2015
The past 1 week has been super duper dreadfully stressful for me. Have I told you that Miss Drama Queen has stopped attending the daily after-school tuition center effective October 2015? I don’t see any improvement in her grades for the past 1 year and she did not fulfill her daddy’s ultimatum to show us…
Our Hazy Sunday – 4 October 2015
Our fears came true. Schools will be closed on Monday and Tuesday (5 – 6 October 2015) caused by the worsening haze. API at our place today was over 300! This means exam on Monday and Tuesday will be postponed to the following Monday and Tuesday (12 – 13 October 2015) while exam will go…
Another Crazy Hazy Not So Lazy Saturday – 3 October 2015
Breakfast at a nearby coffee shop… Yep, this cili padi not-so-babyish anymore Baby C can eat fiery curries and loves them! Today we shared a bowl of white curry vermicelli. Check out this picture of the horrendous haze today, taken from the 5th floor of our condo at 11am… Today is one of the worst…
Water Rationing At Our Condo – Day 2
This morning the water did not come back at 6am as promised. Not a trickle of water from our tap and I was fuming mad! The stored water from one bathroom was finished off really quickly. A lot of water was needed to flush toilets. The girls were fighting to use the other bathroom which…
Crazy Hazy Waterless Day
Today has been a day filled with various obstacles for me. First, we are affected by the 2.5-day water cut in certain areas in KL caused by an inlet valve replacement at one of the major water tanks in KL. Living in a condo, we have always been spared from the brunt of water rationing…
Our Very Hazy Saturday – 26 Sept 2015
Our Malaysia Day Holiday – 16 September 2015
On Wednesday, which was Malaysia Day holiday, we stayed put in our neighborhood. Everyone was wary of the shirt rally in the heart of KL and avoided going downtown. After brekkie at the coffee shop, hubs suggested massage at our regular massage and reflexology center…. again! The lady boss, who is a Chinese national acceded…
Still Hazy – 17 September 2015
This morning, I had to skip swimming and brisk-walking outside as it was drizzling plus the air was just so so so choking bad!! The moment I woke up and opened the sliding door, I could smell smog! The picture below was taken at about 7am. The dust monitor on our Sharp air purifier showed…
Our Tuesday – 15 September 2015
Today is an emergency government declared holiday for schools in several states in Malaysia, caused by the haze. Coincidentally, it is also the girls’ school anniversary holiday today. When we went to the coffee shop for breakfast this morning, we saw many kids still in their uniform having brekkie. Their parents were obviously not aware…
Our Saturday – 13 Sept 2015
It’s the first Saturday post UPSR exam. Alycia finally gets to join us for breakfast and then grocery shopping. For the past 9 months, her Saturdays were spent in school from 7am till 3pm. Life was grueling for these 11-12 year olds. They were drilled to score straight As. I don’t like this kind of…
UPSR Exam Week
This UPSR exam week has not been good for us. It was especially jinx on Monday, the eve of the first day of Alycia’s UPSR exam. On Monday, everything that could possibly go wrong went wrong. Darn Murphy’s Law!! Here’s the sequence of jinx that transpired on Monday, 7 Sept 2015… When the mil and…
Our Sunday – 6 Sept 2015 (Eve Of The Eve of Alycia’s UPSR Exam)
The big girl is finally a little kan cheong and enthusiastic to do an eleventh hour revision today. She’s revising in full steam ahead today. In the morning, she insisted on staying at home to revise while we went out for breakfast and grocery shopping. She usually needs a 2-hour nap in the afternoon but…
Our Saturday – 15 August 2015
After a hearty breakfast of chicken curry wanton noodles at a new eatery, hubs made an impulsive decision to bring us all (MIL, Cass and me) for massage at the Reflexology & Massage outlet just next to the eatery. But the Mandarin tutor will be at our place in exactly an hour’s time. And I…
