Molding and Sculpting With Blue Tac

The hubs is hooked on blue tac sculpting! Since Saturday through today, he has been molding  fruits, pastries, flowers and cartoon characters out of blue tac whenever he had the time. And Cass is the happiest kid in town to have daddy playing blue tac with her! 🙂 Check out what he churned out from…

Our Sunday – 5 Sunday 2014

We had breakfast at Antipodean @ Mid Valley today.  This is Antipodean’s newest outlet in the Klang Valley.  As with their outlet in Bangsar, the one at Mid Valley is just as crowded.  We wanted to have breakfast at this outlet yesterday but the wait list was too long.  We were slightly luckier today and…

Cass Reads Roald Dahl’s Books

Cass is growing up too fast. With 2 older tween sisters who are currently into pop music and novels that teenagers read, Cass is following her sisters’ foot steps too. Yesterday, Cass started to read Charlie And The Chocolate Factory by Roald Dahl and got hooked on it. Her 2 older sisters are currently reading…

Salmon & Tuna Fish Macaroni

What do you do with leftover salmon fish for dinner?  My kids and I do not like eating overnight fish.  When re-fried, re-toasted or steamed, the meat gets too dry.  So I normally ‘re-cycle’ the salmon fish and convert it into another appetizing dish.  I will add the shredded salmon flesh into fried rice, fried…

History Repeated

Do you believe in history repeating itself exactly the way it happened the first time?  I do! When I was 9 years old, I was very much influenced by those TVB actresses who acted in kung fu movies. Barbara Yung Mei Ling (who committed suicide when I was 12 years old), Chik Mei Chan, Chan…

Le Toy Van Blender Set From Applecrumby & Fish

Cass received another big surprise yesterday! When she got back from school, her face lit up with glee when she saw this cool toy set on the floor…     I think the owner of Applecrumby & Fish has some kind of sixth sense and read my mind.  I had always wanted to buy the…

Bali Hai Seafood Market @ Gurney Drive Penang

During our most recent trip to Penang, we feasted on seafood at Bali Hai @ Gurney Drive again. It was our second time there. The first time was about 2 years ago and for lunch. We had an enjoyable seafood lunch but literally melted in the freaking hot weather as this restaurant is semi open…

Doting Koong Koong

Some pictures of my doting and helpful 71-year old dad, helping to carry Cass’ backpack and door gift bag on her graduation day at Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre last Saturday…         And he wore the backpack for hours, even when we crossed over to Sunway Pyramid mall for shopping and until we…

Vegatarian Nasi Lemak

Here is yet another post on food and I hope that this  post will not get you rolling your eyes 😀 I dished out vegetarian nasi lemak last week, using my favorite Mak Nyonya curry paste.  I added cabbage, puffed  tofu, brinjal, tomatoes, ladies fingers, potatoes and hard boiled eggs. I used vegetarian mushroom stumps…

Baked Egg-In-A-Hole Toast

You can sync your body and mind to eat clean.  I have been eating pretty clean for the past 4 months.  This has rubbed off on my kids.  They now prefer food prepared at home as they have also synced their body and mind to accept only healthy food.  Don’t get me wrong, we still…

Health Freak Mommy’s Homecooked Dinner

I have been really busy the past week.  But despite the busyness, I am still not succumbing much to outside food for my girls.  Many times when I was drowned in my work, I was really tempted to just tell the girls  “mummy ain’t cooking tonight, so let’s go out and eat”.  But I know…

Cassandra’s Graduation From Kindergarten – Sunday, 21 September 2014

It was a glitzy affair and made to look like a university graduation!  The graduation ceremony was held at the Sunway Pyramid Convention Centre (SPCC) on Sunday, 21 September 2014. Yes at a convention centre – don’t play play! My beloved parents were there to witness Cass’ graduation too.   We reached Sunway Pyramid at 2:30pm…

Four Points Sheraton Penang (16 – 17 September 2014)

For the past five years, our usual stay in Penang would either be Northam Suites, G Hotel, Gurney Hotel or Hard Rock Penang. This time, we tried Four Points by Sheraton and we all loved this hotel! Four Points Sheraton Penang is situated in Tg. Bungah, about 15 minutes drive from Gurney Drive.   We…

Namoo On The Park @ Publika

We planned to leave KL for Ipoh very early in the morning today but as expected, work cropped up and hubs had to settle some work at his office. So we had to drop our plan of having good old Ipoh hawkers food at Kwong Heng.  Instead we went to Publika @ Solaris Dutamas to…
