My Favorite Shoes

The hubs has been complaining that I have too many shoes in the shoe cabinet inside our already full-to-the-brim store-room. He has been nagging me to sieve through them and give away those that I don’t wear anymore or hardly ever wear. As I was going through my shoes the other day, I fished out…

Turned On By Scents And Fragrances

One of the things that turn me on is fragrance – perfume, home fragrance, aromatherapy, essential oils, air freshener, laundry softener, soaps, the smell of freshly baked bread, cookies and cakes from bakeries and just about anything that smells good to me. I am a fragrance person and I love my home and office to…

If Only I Had 3-5 Hours A Day To Spare On The PC

These days, I can hardly find an hour to spare on the computer. Baby’s waking time equals my time feeding her and watching over her like a hawk. This little fella has turned into a very mischievous and curious toddler. I can never leave her alone for a minute for Lord knows what she will…

Money Craze

My 2 older gals are brazenly crazy over money. Ever since they received a piggy bank each as X’mas gift from my mil, they have been obsessed with filling up their piggy banks with money – notes and coins. Each time they see daddy or me handling money, they would plead for a note or…

Family Vacation

August is only days away. I can’t wait for August to arrive because towards the end of the month, we will bring Baby C back to the hospital in Penang for an MCUG scan to see if she still has kidney reflux. I am a tad anxious that Baby C has to go through another…

Friendship Bracelets

When I was a teenager more than 2 decades ago, the craze back then was making your own friendship band. Many of my classmates including me, were so crazy about the friendship bands that we would secretly make them in the Biology or Physics lab when classes were conducted. The friendship bands, made from colorful threads were…

Online Universities

Our 10th Wedding Anniversary

This year marks hubby and my 10th wedding anniversary. We were registered in the year 1999 and our wedding ceremony was held the following year. How time flies. Hubby once told me that on our 10th wedding anniversary, we would go to the bridal studio to get some nice shots of us and our kids…

Gold Is So Valuable Now

When I was back in my hometown recently, I removed some of my gold jewelries from the bank and brought them to the goldsmith, just for the fun of checking how much they cost now. I was astounded when the goldsmith told me that they are now worth almost three times that of the original…

I’ll Need A Home Security System If I Return To The Workforce

I was telling the hubs the other day that I am contemplating returning to the workforce to help us recoup the ‘loss’ we have just suffered. It would take us many years to recoup over fifty thousand ringgit that we had spent on Baby C’s surgeries and hospitalization stay recently. The only person who is…

A Solution To Your Events

Many years ago, when I was still working in a large organization, the company threw a huge family day outing for all the staff in one of the years.  It was held in the Sunway Lagoon water park. I went with my hubby (then boyfriend) and we enjoyed ourselves very much, especially sliding down the…

I Will Go On A Cruise Holiday Someday

It’s quite a battle for me to feed Baby C her meals everyday. I think she could sense that I am trying to plump her up with food just before her surgery next week. These days when she sees food, she would turn her head away and fuss a little. No longer can she sit…

Our Flight To Penang

We recently boarded a Fire Flyz plane to Penang for our appointment with the pediatric surgeon. We chose Fire Flyz as the departure of all Fire Flyz flights was via the old international airport at Subang. Hubby and I were really impressed that the former international airport now has spots a new look after some…
