Today hubs and I had lunch at Red Kettle, our favorite cafe nestled in our lovely neighborhood. It’s the first time in years since we last had a meal there, just the two of us. I can’t even remember how many years we’ve not dined in there. The food quality hasn’t changed and still as…

Sherilyn’s cooking and baking mode is switched on at full speed today. These are what she churned out today: Kkakdugi (Cubed Radish Kimchi) fried rice with cheese, chicken chop and eggs for lunch. She made the radish kimchi a few days ago. Korean honey sesame fried chicken for dinner. These are way better than KyoChon…

Not too long ago, I wrote about my mini drama involving a car park chip coin at my neighborhood supermarket which I always frequent. The dang small and slippery coin slipped out from my hand into a tiny gap between my car handbrake and my seat and I spent 15 minutes frantically trying to retrieve…
Winter Monsoon In Malaysia
The new year in our country started off with chilly weather with continuous rain for days. Though we can’t travel overseas, we KL folks are enjoying cool overseas weather caused by a winter monsoon. Temperatures across the Klang Valley dropped to as low as 23°C today, among the lowest in months. I didn’t even need…
CMCO Day 132 ~ Monday, 19 Oct 2020
Hubs called me for an unplanned breakfast today. These days we engage in quite a bit of business talks and brainstorming together as I’m assisting him in the bento box delivery department. Today he wanted to sample Western breakfast sets at a couple of cafes as he’s in the midst of introducing Western breakfast sets…
RMCO Day 108 ~ Friday, 25 Sept 2020
After getting our cars washed, hubs, mil and I went for brunch at a nearly cafe. Today is the first time in half a year that I brought my car for a wash at the car wash center run by Bangladesh workers. As the number of Covid-19 cases recently involved many foreign workers, we have…
RMCO Day 101 ~ FriYAY, 18 Sept 2020
After chauffeuring Sherilyn to school this morning, I dropped by the kopitiam to tapau lunch for the girls and mil — Hailam chicken chop and fried chicken chop set for the girls and curry noodles for the mil. This is where I bought the addictive sweet potato chips. I’d bought two tubs in a week…
RMCO Day 96 ~ Sunday, 13 Sept 2020
I’ve been feeling ho-hum and shirty for the past few days. It could be the time of the month again. And the lack of rest and sleep. Or simply bottled up negative emotions. I’m trying hard to purge these feelings out of my head. Tomorrow morning I’m going to the park to run in the…
Movement Control Order
So my worst fear came true. Last night at 10 p.m. our prime minister announced that a Movement Control Order (MCO) will be invoked in Malaysia for 2 weeks from 18 March through 31 March 2020. It’s like a partial lockdown. With this, government and private premises would be closed except those providing essential services. Although hubby’s business…

As the number of Covid-19 cases in our country increases rapidly, so does the fear. And the panic buying. I didn’t feel the need to stock up on groceries yet until the mil and some relatives prompted me to stockpile on daily necessities like bread, rice, meat, canned food, bread and of course toilet papers! Yes…

Today’s appointment with Dr Susan @ HKL is cancelled AGAIN ? I somehow had a hunch that the appointment would be cancelled again. I guess it would take at least another week or two before I get a new date. I told the nurse that Cass will be sitting for her exam next week, thus will…

Updates On Last Week of 2019 And First Day of 2020
Hey peeps, I am back after a week of busyness in the last week of the last decade. Almost the entire Yap family from near and far came together and had over a week of celebration and merriment – from Christmas to Boxing Day to pre-wedding dinner to the church wedding, hubby’s birthday and finally…
Boxing Day, 26 December 2019
Barely 24 hours after Christmas day and our neighborhood supermarket has already started to change decor and food stuff on their shelves today! The faster they change, the faster the kaching comes in! ? I’ll wager that by tomorrow, CNY songs will be blasting away. Oh no CNY is less than a month away! I don’t…

SIL from Hawaii arrived at 3:45 am today. For the next 2 weeks, we’re set to accompany her to gormandize all the yummy local fare that there is to offer in KL ? ? After they had breakfast of fishballs noodles and Nyonya kuih in Paramount PJ (which I didn’t follow), we went to Alexis @…
