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…
What A Night!
Ever since we moved in to our condo 7 years ago, there was hardly a power outage. Well, maybe twice or thrice in 7 years. Last night was just one of those unlucky nights. We were all in the midst of doing our things when bang, the house went into darkness. My poor Alycia who…
Random Things On A Friday – 31 July 2015
As July 2015 ends today, I ended the last day of the month by embarking on a new fitness regime this morning! With creaky and achy knees that give way whenever I run on the road, I have decided to give running and brisk walking a break to heal my aging knees. Inspired by the…
Random Pictures Of Girls With Cousins
Lunch after school at the Japanese restaurant at our condo on Wednesday. It was two days before their cousins (they are twins -a boy and a girl) left KL to return to Auckland. Cass with A – her favorite cousin. Yummy sushi and tempura… Never to be missed – chewy grilled flying squid……
Eve Of Exam
Today is the eve of exam for Alycia, Sherilyn and Cass but it is the most relaxed eve of exam ever for them! SIL and family from New Zealand are in town now. In 2 days, SIL and family from Hong Kong will arrive, together with SIL from Hawaii. Yes, there is another mega reunion of…
My Friday – 26 June 2015
Hubs and I had brunch together at a newly opened cafe in the neighborhood when the girls were in school today. I actually had my brekkie of homemade muesli and sprouted wheat bread at 8:30am after my 1-hour daily exercise regimen. Since he invited me out for brunch, I thought, why not… though I was…
Exams and Schools
Our Saturday today started off very early. We were already in school by 8am for the parents-teachers meeting and report card collection day. In under 2 hours, we were done meeting with 3 teachers. Last night, I wrote down the questions that I’d like to ask the 3 teachers on a piece of paper. It…
Happy 2015 Mid Year Everyone!
The view of KL Tower and KL Twin Towers is a regular sight greeting us everyday. From the 5th floor of our unit, we can see these prominent buildings very clearly. For the past one month, there is something different about the KL Tower. First, it was illuminated in neon green for several days. Then,…
My Thursday – 14 May 2015
I’ve been feeling draggy, really bushed and shitty since yesterday, no thanks to PMS. This morning, I downed 2 packs of Izumio hydrogen water and it has never once let me down. I felt like a wilting flower restored back to life after the 2 packs of Izumio. The Japanese man who came up with this…
May Jinx And 6th Anniversary of Cassandra’s Surgeries
I think 5th May will always be an inauspicious day for me. In fact, the month of May has never been kind to me. Last year at around this time, I went through a harrowing experience when the dentist extracted my tooth (positioned abnormally in my gums). That was the most frightening experience for me…
Our Sunday – 22 March 2015
Everyone started their day early today. By 10am, we left the house for KL Sentral station for the mil to check in for her flight to Hong Kong. Once that was done, we hurried to Mid Valley Megamall to have breakfast at Han Room, after which hubs bought nyonya kuih from Nyonya Colors for the…
My Thursday Breakfast At Doiffee Cafe – 19 March 2015
My breakfast today was with just hubs and Alycia. It’s really been a while where only the three of us had a meal together. The last time we did that was 11 years ago when Alycia was just a baby (she was our only child then), our very much loved baby girl whom…
Our Saturday – 14 March 2015
After Cass’ Yamaha pop piano class today (her 6th lesson), I picked up Sherilyn from the enrichment center and then had lunch at an Indian restaurant. Hubs, whose office is just a few steps away joined us for lunch. After a carb-laden lunch, hubs suggested to have gourmet coffee at Les Deux Garcons, a French…
Our School-Going Tuesday – 3 March 2015
Girls busy at work at the Yap’s residence today… Cass doing her homework from school. As I am typing this post, she is practising piano on her keyboard now. Her passion in learning the piano is still burning and I hope it stays this way 🙂 Alycia who just got back from school is…
My Saturday – 10 January 2015
Today I did finally did something that I have procrastinated for a long, long time. I registered Cass for piano lessons! I should be proud of myself for living up to my mantra (and Nike’s too) of “Just Do It”! But I am not jumping into the bandwagon just yet, like most Asian moms do,…
