School holiday means catching up on my beauty sleep, respite from school books, breather from everything academic and eating out. I’ve been sleeping in till 7:30 am (not so lucky to sleep in way past 8 am though) since Saturday and getting 8 hours of sleep has reinvigorated my mind, body and soul! Lunches and dinners…
Pan-fried red snapper fish and mackerel fish marinated with turmeric powder, Baba’s fish curry powder, organic shoyu and ground black pepper. I have tried frying fish using steel wok, non-stick granite pan, non-stick Teflon pan and Khind stir-fryer. My verdict is – the Khind electric stir-fryer gives the best outcome. For the 3 slices of…

On a wet morning today, Drama Queen and I witnessed a harrowing snatch theft. It happened just outside Guardian Pharmacy at our neighborhood. Drama Queen and I had just walked out of Guardian Pharmacy and were walking towards the Indian restaurant where the hubs was waiting for us for breakfast. We heard a girl screaming, followed…
It’s been really tough for my girls to let go of their very much loved story books. To date, I think they have close to a thousand titles. Many of them are Geronimo Stilton, Thea Stilton, Diary Of A Wimpy Kid, Enid Blyton series (Famous Five and a whole bunch of stories), Percy Jackson by…

It is our weekly routine every Saturday evening. After piano class, I will walk Cass to a pet shop next to the music center to say hello to the puppies there that we meet weekly. We will coo over those super adorable pups. Most of them are imported exotic dogs. Each time we step into the…
I almost dumped this fella into the wok yesterday. It was snugged inside its shell and velcroed to a piece of organic lettuce. Why didn’t I see it when I washed the veggie earlier? Eeesshhh, that’s the problem when you’re too busy and can only afford half an hour to cook!! I like to see…
Port Dickson started life as a humble charcoal producing town, but in recent times it has turned into a thriving and popular beach destination. This jewel of a destination is just 60km from Kuala Lumpur, meaning it is a popular destination for city slickers looking to get away from the hustle and bustle of everyday…

Drama Queen was helping me chop onions in the kitchen today while I was cleaning the fish and marinating it. Alycia sauntered into the kitchen… Alycia – hey Kay Yi, do you want to play badminton downstairs? Sher – *sniffs sniffs and wipes off tears from her eyes* I can’t… (sniffs and wipes tears with…
Our girls love grilled chicken. I cook it at least once a week, sometimes twice. My grilled chicken is cooked in a variety of styles – with turmeric powder, teriyaki sauce, honey, lemon grass, lemon juice, curry paste, tomyam paste, black pepper, breaded and much more. Last week I tried something different with the chicken…
