I think our country is slowly and surely getting out of the haze. We were greeted by a very lovely weather yesterday. At 1ish pm yesterday, it was gloomy and a thunderstorm was looming.The skies were clear, though no clouds were seen. It was also very breezy with temperature of 25C. We badly need several…
Today is yet another emergency Government declared haze holiday (19 Oct 2015). Latest news which I’ve just received from Alycia’s classmate via Messenger is that schools will remain closed tomorrow (Tuesday, 20 October 2015). Take note parents! Since the girls’ final exam is over, I don’t feel the stress of yet another haze holiday. When…
Cass 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…
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…
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 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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
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…
