Geronimo Stilton Craze, Still

After all these years, after a collection of so many titles from many other authors, their first love is still the strongest. I wonder what is so captivating about the lives of a bunch of eccentric rats that make kids from all over the world go head over heels over them?! Alycia and Sherilyn’s collection…

All Things Tutu

I have always loved tutus. I’ve always wanted a tutu dress when I was a kid but never had the opportunity to own one. Now that I have 3 girls, of which two are tutu lovers, I cannot be happier to buy them tutu dresses and tutu skirts. In Sherilyn and Cass’ wardrobe, they have…

Best Way To Clean Up Raw Egg Spill

For the first time in my life, I accidentally dropped an egg onto the kitchen floor yesterday. I was rushing to prepare half-boiled eggs for my Miss Demanding and then at the slip of my hand, the darn egg slipped through my fingers and lay DOOMED on the floor! If you handle raw eggs a…

Cass’ Reading Progress

Today while I was helping Cass to shower, she suddenly remembered something that transpired in kindy in the morning during English lesson. Cass – mummy, do you know teacher A gave me a STAR and a “VERY GOOD” in my reading today!? Me – really? *with face all perked up though I was almost going…

Siew Siew Restaurant @ Sg Besi KL

Yesterday being a public holiday, the hubs told us that he wanted to try something new. So he brought us to Siew Siew Restaurant @ Sg Besi.  I was told that this restaurant has been around for quite some time already but I never realized that there is such a nice restaurant located just next…

Healthy & Yummy Tuna Sala / Bread Spread

The celebrity chef wannabe pleaded with me to let her make tuna salad for us last weekend.  I have been working at full steam for the past 2 weeks (pre-CNY orders are normally high), so I said OK but she has to handle everything herself.  What do I know? The girl spent about an hour…

Boxes Of Goodies

Our once yearly treat to the world’s tastiest potato snacks arrived at our door step a few days ago. The MIL and SIL would visit Japan every year. If they visit Hokkaido, they will surely think of us and get us a box or two of Potato Farm Jaga Pokkuru premium potato chips and have…

Meal In A Jiffy – Braised Chicken Thigh

The first new dish that I cooked for 2014 is my own version of ‘loh kai pei’ (braised chicken thighs).  This is SO easy to prepare and the taste was top notch, according to my monsters 🙂 Here’s what I used, based on what I could find in my fridge.  The chicken need not be…

New Year’s Eve & Happy 2014

Though I had a very turbulent time in 2013, I must say that the last few days of 2013 were one of my best for the year.  I’ve had innumerable depressing days contributed by the kids, online business and family matters but I’m glad that I managed to surmount them all and my head was…

Happy 2014 Peeps!

Hello everyone, it’s the second day of 2014 today!  Today is the first day of school for this year for my 3 girls.  There were no first day of school blues. No whining, no fussing, no dilly-dallying from anyone.  All 3 girls were raring to go back to school.  And I was so raring to…

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…

Evening Activities In Ipoh – 22 December 2013

This is where the girls would normally play in the evening when we are back at my parents in Ipoh. There is this Siamese temple sitting in front of a limestone cave with scenic view, located just a minute’s walk from my parents’ house. There are steep steps leading to the top of the temple….

Little Kitchen Helpers

The girls helping koong koong and granny in the kitchen yesterday, in preparation for our Dongzhi festival dinner at home in Ipoh… The girls helped to scrape arrowroot skin and to remove peanut skin. While they were helping, granny fed them with  papaya haha!  I have made it compulsory for the girls to eat fruits…

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…

Singapore Trip (14 – 16 December 2013)

Our trip to Singapore was by far the best ever holiday for the kids.  There were many firsts for the kids — first time to Singapore, first time on a privately chartered boat, first time having BBQ on a boat, first time really swimming in the sea and playing games with a group of friends…
