Our dancing queen’s haul in the Get The Beat (GTB) Asia dance competition held on Sunday, 25 August 2019 was champion, 2nd and 5th placing in the student’s choreography, jazz and solo contemporary (under 14 category). With this, she’s now qualified for the world finals to be held in Bangkok from 18 – 22 December…
Sherilyn played ‘masak-masak’ again yesterday. This time she baked an assortment of pies. Actually she made the dough a week ago and kept it in the fridge, waiting to find a day that she’d be free to make the pies. She’d also cooked the salted caramel sauce, sliced the apples and marinated them with cinnamon…
“Mom I won, I won, yes I won in the contest!!” my drama queen squawked across the living room yesterday afternoon. I thought it’s just another Tealive, cookies or free movie tickets that she’d won from Facebook or Instagram. She trotted to my work desk and showed me the Insta message she’d received from the…
My dancing queen registered herself in the Berjaya Teen Star Challenge 2018 audition last year and ‘recruited’ 2 of her classmates to be in her dance team. She choreographed the dance herself. During the audition, one of her friends forgot the steps – they didn’t make it. Sherilyn vowed to try again the following year,…
Our drama / dancing / baking queen can now add another feather to her cap – the title of fighting queen! In her first MSSKL inter-school taekwondo competition yesterday, she grabbed the gold medal in the individual Poomsae event (green belt). Her first ever gold medal in an inter-school competition! Not bad at all for…
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…
My baking queen’s last bake for the year 2018 on 31 December 2018 was a hyper-delicious pomegranate cake, cafe style, complete with decor. It’s pretty unbelievable that a 13-year old baked this! When Sherilyn was much younger, I had suspicion that she had ADHD as she was always hyper-active (and kept getting herself into accidents…
The Baking Queen in the house aka Drama Queen aka Sherilyn has embarked on some baking projects to kill time during the school holidays. This is the best activity for her to distract her from all the electronic gadgets in the house. Here’s what she baked over the past 2 weeks: Homemade pizza with the…
Drama Queen managed to capture some videos of lightning about 2 weeks ago when there was a rare display of continuous lightning in the sky that evening. She initially tried to capture the photos with her phone’s camera but it was extremely difficult as the lighting zapped at unpredictable intervals in split seconds, which I…
This week has been a rough week for me. It first started with Alycia falling sick on Tuesday. She hardly gets fever these days but this time the temperature shot up to 41.3C with chills, a chesty cough and a throbbingly painful migraine that came in waves. The hubs and mil were pressing me (again!)…
Two of my favorite cakes of all times are the flour-less orange cake from Nutmeg @ Bangsar Village and Lemon Polanta cake from Red Kettle. Since exams are over for this year and the girls have 5 days of Deepavali holiday, Sherilyn volunteered to bake me a cake on an ad-hoc basis yesterday. She searched…
My dancing queen and I spent the entire day at the dance competition on our Sunday yesterday. On the day of my dancing queen’s first solo dance competition, she started to have the sniffles. So did I. We both got bitten by Cass’ bugs which she picked up from school last week. Bummer! But she…
My #2 really loves baking and cooking. I can see it’s in her blood. It’s in the blood of the Yaps. Her dad, grandma (paternal and maternal), maternal grandfather, aunts, grand aunts and grand uncles (all from her dad’s side) love cooking and eating. Her grand uncle who is an accomplished heart surgeon in the UK…
