Cooking With Tennis Elbow

Posted on May 6, 2024May 6, 2024 by Shireen

With a right hand that’s not 100% functional as I cannot lift heavy things, cooking has to be reduced to the bare minimum. Maria can only come to help me once or max twice a week now as she has other houses to go to, on top of her full-time job as a cleaner. She’s…

Tennis Elbow

Posted on May 2, 2024May 2, 2024 by Shireen

A week after I came back from Bangkok, I was down with sore throat and a cold. And in the middle of battling the flu, I had a very painful elbow, with pain concentrated on the elbow bone, making it painful to lift my right hand and do chores, especially mopping and lifting heavy things….

When Sherilyn won RM500 in cash as 3rd prize in an online talent competition organized by an international school in May this year, the principal of the school asked her via Zoom how she’d like to spend the money. Sherilyn told him that she would use part of the winning to donate to a charitable…

MCO Day 15 ~ 1 April 2020

Posted on April 1, 2020 by Shireen

The Covid-19 pandemic and lockdown in almost three quarter of the world seem to be the biggest April’s Fool Joke for the entire world’s population this year. If only this pandemic was indeed a joke and when we wake up tomorrow on 2 April 2020, things would be back to normal again. If. Only. Today…

If You’re An Asian Mom, Watch This Video

Posted on October 24, 2019 by Shireen

This video really made my day and had me in stitches this morning? If you’re an Asian mom, like myself, this video so relates to our everyday lives dealing with our school-going Gen Z digital dopamine frazzled zombie kids; and how we tiger Asian moms put so much emphasis on good academic results! What you…

Nursing The Girl Back To Health

Posted on September 6, 2019October 7, 2019 by Shireen

Alycia has been down with a stomach flu and absent from school for 3 days. Besides napping and doing a wee bit of revision, her eyes have been glued to her phone, watching K-dramas and K-pop videos. She’s supposed to eat clear porridge but this girl would ? at the sight of porridge. She wanted to eat…

It Takes A Village To Raise A Child

Posted on August 30, 2019October 8, 2019 by Shireen

It’s been two weeks since my littlest one woke up and got disconnected from me and angry with me with no particular reason on the first day of school after the third term school holidays. Thank God she’s almost back to her usual self, though I wouldn’t say that her usual self was how she…

Dealing With A Difficult Tween

Posted on August 21, 2019October 8, 2019 by Shireen

I’ve been feeling a tad melancholic since the start of school on Monday. On the first day of school, my 11-year old found it extremely hard to wake up for school. And when she woke up after much resistance and kicking, she morphed into a totally different person… like someone has just cast a spell…

Yesterday the vigilant guard at my condo’s car park intercom-ed our unit at 11-ish p.m. to inform that my car had a flat tire. The next day I checked the tire and though it looked slightly flat, I had no time to bring it to the tire shop to get it checked as I had…

Posted on April 13, 2019June 18, 2019 by Shireen

This week is another NO REST week for me. I want to bawl my eyes out. It’s enervating having to wake up when it’s still pitch black outside, knowing that it’s a damn Saturday or Sunday, but instead of under my comfy blanket, I have to force my butt out of bed to do my…

Fearless Helper To The Rescue

Posted on April 11, 2019April 11, 2019 by Shireen

Thank God for a fearless daughter, I needn’t have to go through a Fear Factor moment to remove this life reptile that got glued to a sticky paper on our floor sticky roller! Yes, that lizard was still alive and writhing. I guess it crawled behind it and got glued on the sticky paper. I…

46th Birthday

Posted on March 29, 2019March 29, 2019 by Shireen

After I touched the 4 series, I often lose track of my age! I often have to use my birth year to calculate my age in the current year ? ? I wonder whether I’ll still remember my age when I touch the 6, 7 and 8 series. Do you face the same issue as me?…

Different Kind of Hide-And-Seek

Posted on March 11, 2019March 11, 2019 by Shireen

There’s a different kind of hide-and-seek game in our home. It’s a “mum hides gadget, mum soon forgets hiding place, kids look high and low for it and finally gadget pops out when you least expect it” sort of game. All the time. Because mum has too many things to sort out in her mind…

Big Rat In The House

Posted on September 20, 2018September 21, 2018 by Shireen

Someone did it again. After sneaking out my favorite Whittaker’s hazelnut dark chocolate bit by bit on a daily basis and finishing almost the entire bar, she left one itsy-bitsy piece of chocolate in the Tupperware container for me. Because she was scared I would reprimand her for eating chocolate everyday and say that she’s…

Today Cass my forgetful girl forgot to bring her purse to school again! I only realized that she had left her purse behind at around 8 a.m. On the spur of the moment, I wanted to drive to school right away to save her before her recess starts. Just last week, she had forgotten to…
