Messy, Messier, Dustiest, Havoc-kest!

This is my once clean and dust-free warm abode… Now the walls are hacked and the entire place looks like a post-earth quake shattered unit *sobs*     Even with plastic sheets, the darn workers’ rough handling tore down the sheets and my work area and dining area are freaking dusty!!! I asked the old…

And The Nightmare Begins…

The nightmare has just begun for 2 weeks of hacking, drilling, dust and mess in the house *sobs* The past 2 days we did a lot of packing, sealing and moving to our aunt’s unit in the same block as ours. The real nightmare on Elm Street begins tomorrow!   As online work continues for…

A Very Expensive Lesson Learnt, The Hard Way!

As I had mentioned in my earlier post, the month of May has always been a very challenging month for me. Nothing goes smoothly in the month of May. It is also a month that money goes out inevitably from my pockets, from hubs’ pockets too. We were married in the month of May. Hubs…

Awful Monday

The month of May has always been very challenging for me.  This May, I have a long list of hurdles to tick away from the Awful May list. The biggest hurdle was ticked last week after Cass went for her Urodynamics Test. I just had my lower tooth no.5 extracted today and gawd, it was…

Emotional Day

Today is an emotional day of sorts for me. The news of the ill-fated missing MH370 MAS airplane last night and what I read from today’s newspapers have been very depressing. The cover page of The Star newspapers is black today. Pictures of the relatives and kin of the passengers on board MH370 crying and…

It Finally Rained Cats And Dogs!!

Many of us take for granted what comes down from above like the rain and the sunshine. But ever since the prolonged drought and water rationing exercise carried out in almost every part of the Klang Valley in 1998, I have treated rain water as a very precious natural resource. Each time it rains, I…

Brainwashing Statement

Whenever Alycia and Sherilyn pass remarks like “are we bringing bread to school AGAIN tomorrow?”, I will reply “YES!”. “Strawberry jam/ kaya/peanut butter again??” and I will reply “YES!!” “I am SO SICK of strawberry jam / kaya/peanut butter mummy!” And my standard long reply would go… “when I was your age, my mummy, your…

Sherilyn Is 9!

Happy birthday Sherilyn! May you grow up healthily, happily and obediently with God’s guidance. May you make your daddy and mummy proud of you always. Can’t believe that you are 9 this year!  Still remember so vividly 9 years ago today. It was the 8th day of CNY and you were delivered via elective C-Section….

Good-bye 2013

Today has been a very busy and hectic day for me. I have been busy the whole morning with customers’ orders, had to finish off some house chores and pack our bags before we leave (in an hour’s time) to a hotel to count-down to the new year with our group of friends. This is…

Dong Zhi Festival 2013 In Ipoh

The girls woke up very early this morning, despite hitting the sack past midnight last night. They were looking forward to follow koong koong and granny to the wet market @ Kg. Simee. Though the wet market has never been a place that I like to go to, I want my kids to get used…

The Leery Cleaner Is Finally Out Of Our Condo!

I sent in my official complaint letter to the condo Management Office early today. I was told by the office administrator that the cleaning company has stopped sending the said leery cleaner to our condo effective today. I felt such a relief when I heard that. According to the office administrator, this cleaner had always…

Oven-Grilled Onion Chicken Chop

Here’s another oven-grilled meat dish that I whipped up for the girls. My most critical and persnickety daughter said “mummy, I’ll give you an A+++ for this dish!” That sure was a very motivational remark to make me dish up more delish oven-grilled meat dish for them 😀 Picture below shows the chicken before the…

Sick As A Dog

Sherilyn is not as sick as a dog today like she was yesterday.   Though her appetite is still somewhat drowned after being attacked by some salmonella (my guess),  my consolation is from hearing her tell me “I feel much better today” this morning.  She has only eaten 1 piece of cream crackers and 2 glasses…

For those of you living in places clouded by hazy skies for the past few months, the sight of a tinge of some colors on the sky would cheer you up and make you appreciate a colorful sky! When I saw this ‘rare’ sight on the skyline, I just had to snap a picture. I…
