My Friday Fright ~ A Case of Misunderstanding and Missteps
4 August 2023 ~ The morning started with my washing machine technician suddenly turning up at my door to fix an unresolved issue that was reported to him a month back but he only came to fix it today. While waiting for him to check on my washer, I reached for my phone, expecting the…

With my car temporarily out of commission, the mundane task of grocery shopping and buying food became a good workout. Walking to the supermarket and eateries each day not only fulfilled my practical needs but also allowed me to soak up the sun’s rays. As a result, my limbs and face sport a charming bronze…
Random Updates: A Week in Our Lives
Cass received wonderful news this week. With hard work and determination, she secured the 5th position in her class, showcasing an improvement from her previous exam. As parents, I couldn’t be prouder of her commitment to her studies. I know she has the potential to achieve even greater heights, and will continue to support her…
Tuesday, 30 May 2023 – Indulging in Unhealthy Delights on a School Holiday
With the school holidays in full swing, I decided to bring Cass to try a new sundae ice cream from a truck. It’s a new kid on the block in our hood and the sundae truck is parked right outside Family Mart. Such an icy cold daring move ? We began our morning by taking…

Cass gave me a scare yesterday when she told me that she had a cold and headache. I told her to do a Covid self-test. The first time she did the Covid test, a faint line appeared on the ‘T’ window and seconds later the line went up and disappeared! I told her to do…
Saturday, 4 February 2023 ~ Lup Chun 2023
I only realized that today is Lup Chun day late in the evening when I saw my friends’ postings on them balancing eggs on social media. So, for the fun of it, Cass and I rambled to the kitchen, took out some eggs and kneeled on the floor to do our balancing act. This year,…
Thursday, 5 January 2023 ~ Unfortunate Day
Today has been a star-crossed eventful day. The started out well until around 11 a.m. I was at Kimchitiam (one of our favorite Korean restaurants) with Cass and waiting for our food to arrive. While waiting for our food, I played with my phone. Then came a Whatsapp message from my mum in our family…
Friday, 2 December 2022
It’s the rainy season again and this means that I’m faced with the problem of getting all our wet laundry dried on time. When I say ‘on time’, it means that the five or six loads of laundry (yes, you read it right!) that I do every day need to be dried on the same…
Lost Parcel
Early this week, I received a Whatsapp message from a Ninja Van delivery rider, informing me that he had delivered my parcel. He further sent me a photo of the parcel that he left at our condo lobby. It was 1.11 p.m. At 4-ish p.m., I drove to the lobby to collect the parcel after…
Wednesday, 19 October 2022 ~ Random Updates
A series of unfortunate events happened to us during the mid of last month, especially to Cass. Cass was unexpectedly warded at the Institute of Urology & Nephrology last month when she fainted after an MRU procedure. On the day that she was discharged, she twisted her ankle just as she stepped out of the…
31 August 2022 – We Had An Unwelcomed Visitor
When we came back from our National Day lunch today, an unwelcomed visitor at the window gave everyone the creeps. Haru who has super bionic audition (despite being in a deep sleep), was the first to notice the bat on the mozzie net in the living room window. I am always in awe of Haru’s…
Saturday, 23 July 2022
Today has been another hectic day for hubs and his kitchen crew. They prepped over 300 burgers today and will be whipping up 300 more tomorrow for a client’s 2-day event. In addition, they cooked sambal, curries, bolognese sauce, deep fried potato wedges and marinated a whole lamb for BBQ tonight. I brought Cass to…
Strawberry Moon On 14 June 2022
Late last evening just as I was about to take my shower, Cass ran inside the house excitedly, exclaiming “mum, come and look at what I saw, come. The moon is so huge!” With a headache from lack of sleep, I reluctantly went out to check out the moon. What greeted me was a super…
The Day Before I Leave For Ipoh
Though it’s the school holidays, it doesn’t feel like a holiday for me as I still have school runs to do. I still wake up at 6.15 a.m. and have to be out of the house by 8.30 a.m. Sherilyn has athletics training in school every morning throughout the holiday week, for the upcoming MSSKL…
School Holidays
Another busy week whizzed past me in a blink of an eye. This week I’ve been extra busy as I’ve to cook and accompany the mil to the hospital for her post-cataract-surgery follow-up checkup, on top of school runs and my freelance work. Meals at home this week have been mostly takeout and very simple…
