Conversation On Bang Bang Over Dinner

At the dining table over dinner today, the song “Bang Bang” by Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj was played on the radio. The girls sang along as they ate dinner. Alycia – mummy, do you know what “bang bang” means actually? Me (acting dumb) – yeah… bang bang with a gun like this…

Our Father’s Day Sunday – 21 June 2015

After attending a friend’s baby’s full moon party, we adjourned to Durian De Tropika @ Section 19, PJ for a roadside durian feast with  two of our very close family friends!  The durian stalls were previous located at SS2.   Durian De Tropika is a must-go-to place for hardcore fans of durian. Check out the…

Exams and Schools

Our Saturday today started off very early. We were already in school by 8am for the parents-teachers meeting and report card collection day. In under 2 hours, we were done meeting with 3 teachers.  Last night, I wrote down the questions that I’d like to ask the 3 teachers on a piece of paper.  It…

Cassandra’s Swimming Lessons and Position

This picture was taken at Cass’ swimming session yesterday at our condo. Cass is now joining two other girls (aged 8 and 9 years old – living at the same block as us) in the swimming class.  Can you spot Cass? Of the 3 girls, Cass is the slowest in terms of speed and agility….

Get Cash Back With ShopBack

Everyone loves getting a portion of their cash back after spending it to buy stuff. I am a sucker for cash back rewards! They are savings alright! So naturally, when I heard that ShopBack Malaysia has a cash back scheme where cash will be credited back to my bank account after I’ve shopped at their…

Looking At Life Through Rose-Tinted Glasses

While in Ipoh last weekend, the girls and I, along with my dad had a long walk around the neighborhood in the evening. We stopped outside a few houses to play with and pat other people’s dogs 😀 This is something that we don’t always do in KL. The girls’ schedules are pretty much filled…

What’s For Dinner Tonight?

Guess what we had for dinner tonight? It’s a homey dinner but the price is that of a fine dine dinner at a 5-star restaurant. Yes beef steak… but not the regular beef.  Look carefully at the marbled appearance… It’s Kobe beef, all the way from Hong Kong!  The MIL hand carried the Kobe beef…

Happy 2015 Mid Year Everyone!

The view of KL Tower and KL Twin Towers is a regular sight greeting us everyday. From the 5th floor of our unit, we can see these prominent buildings very clearly. For the past one month, there is something different about the KL Tower.  First, it was illuminated in neon green for several days. Then,…

Amazing Race To The Train!

HOLA from the land of pomelos, waat leet leet tau fu far (smooth bean curd), leng luis (pretty girls) and super crunchy bean sprouts!! 😀 We almost missed our ETS (Electric Train Service) ride from KL Sentral to Ipoh yesterday!  The ETS ticket was at 1pm and we hopped into the coach at 12:59PM!  Phew,…

Ostania Premium Mangosteen Amrita Juice

Mangosteens – we all love them, both for the one-of-a-kind succulent taste of the flesh and the vibrant purple color of the rind.  My kids love them. I love them. I do not know of anyone who does not love them. But I hate peeling them!  It’s so troublesome to get to the flesh of…

Big Bad Box Book Sale @ Mines 2

Today is perhaps one of the happiest days for the girls, especially  the biggest girl, who is the biggest lover of novels.  Hubs finally agreed to bring the girls to the Big Bad Wolf Sale (themed Big Bad Box Sale this year @ Mines 2)  today.   The girls were jumping and screaming with joy…

Scanning In An Open Area

An MRI can often detect injuries in the body that an x-ray might not be able to see. It can also assist in seeing tumors and other health issues that ordinary tests don’t. If you don’t like being in an enclosed space, then an open MRI would be an option. There are other benefits of…

Living Skills Training For Kids

One of the activities for Sherilyn during this school holiday is living skills training 🙂 She may be pretty clumsy, impulsive (she drives me nuts with her impulsiveness) and accident-prone, but when it comes to cooking, I can see that she is trying really hard NOT to be what she is 😀 As she flipped…

The Fear Of Getting Cancer

This morning, I went to the hospital to do the remaining medical tests — blood test, urine test and ECG. I was in a rush yesterday and only managed to have the pap smear, Mammogram and chest x-ray done. The moment I reached the hospital this morning, the nurse told me that my gynae has…
