Posted on May 11, 2016May 31, 2017 by Shireen

A couple of weeks back, I received a surprise in my letter box. It was a birthday card all the way from San Francisco, USA. My friend of over 3 decades posted it to me. I can’t even remember when I last received a card by snail mail from a close friend. So this birthday…

Seventh Anniversary Of Cassandra’s Surgeries

Posted on May 5, 2016May 6, 2016 by Shireen

I have been telling myself that I ain’t going to post about the anniversary of Cass’ surgeries in my blogs anymore. It is still painful for me to look back at the pictures and read those May 2009 blog postings. But I just can’t help thinking about what we went through on 5 May 2009…

Medical Care, Lab Methods and Cancer in Remote Villages

Posted on May 5, 2016May 6, 2016 by Shireen

The fight against cancer has had some large victories in the past few decades, as more is understood about the reasons that cancers form and the nature of the cells themselves. This has been great for prevention, but also for diagnosis and treatment. This is especially true for people who are far from large communities…

Posting A Letter By Snail Mail

Posted on May 2, 2016June 2, 2017 by Shireen

It’s been donkey yonkey years since I last posted a letter by snail mail by slotting the letter into a post box by the roadside. With the advent of the email, Whatsapp, courier, fax and office boy service, we hardly need to get down to the post box to post a mail. Cass misses her…

Friday Lunch – Indian Food

Posted on April 30, 2016May 3, 2017 by Shireen

Yesterday I sent my car for a wash. To kill time, I had brunch at an Indian restaurant – alone. Bliss! 😀 It’s been a while since I last tucked into some yummy Indian food. I love Indian cuisine and so do our girls. But we cannot be digging into Indian food as often as…

Cassandra’s Ice Bucket Challenge

Posted on April 28, 2016May 8, 2017 by Shireen

Look what I found in the freezer today! A handful of Shopkins shopping baskets filled with tap water. This cheeky brat loves filling up containers and toys of all shapes and sizes with water and have them frozen. I always get surprises when I open the freezer door! She says she likes experimenting with things….

This is my salad of the day for today: Capsicum (green, red and dark purple), kyuri, baby radish, toasted walnut, toasted almond, Furikake, Nori and a drizzle of roasted sesame dressing. This capsicum salad is really yummy and refreshing. I love the crunchiness and freshness of the sweet capsicum. I especially love the vibrant colors…

Our Saturday – 23 Apr 2016

Posted on April 24, 2016May 24, 2017 by Shireen

For once, Cass woke up earlier than me on Saturday! After a packet of Izumio hydrogenated water, she went downstairs and played badminton with grandma. Later, she followed her daddy to the gym. I stayed home to be the maid, quickly doing 2 rounds of laundry before we went out to meet some friends for…

Unbearable El Nino Heatwave In KL

Posted on April 20, 2016June 8, 2017 by Shireen

The El Nino heatwave in KL is not improving any bit. It’s getting hotter, drier and hazier by the day. The acrid smell of haze is more pronounced today. The temperature for the past few days have been on the high side, so bad that I do not feel like leaving my seat right…

Supermom

Posted on April 17, 2016May 24, 2017 by Shireen

On some bad days, the term “I am a good mom” is not by any stretch of my own imagination. I’d feel incompetent and unfit to be a mom. On some good days, “I am a good mom” does not really measure my own worth. On these good days, the girls would think that…

Thursday Home-cooked Lunch – 14 April 2016

Posted on April 14, 2016May 27, 2017 by Shireen

Today I had a battle within myself – a mind over matter over what to eat for lunch 😀 After paying Cass a visit in school (to ensure that she pees and to bring her Izumio), I shopped for some groceries at our neighborhood supermarket. I could not decide whether to cook lunch for Cass…
