It’s been almost a week since the MIL left for Hong Kong and the girls are still pretty happy surviving on mummy’s simple and no-frills meals. Here are some of the simple one-dish platters that I had dished out… Dinner on 30 Aug 2013 – Stir-fried Chinese cabbage with sawi and minced meat in egg…
First, was the red code emergency alert on water supply cut on our country’s Merdeka Day on 31 August 2013. Our neighborhood was one of the affected areas and our friends living in our neighborhood (in houses) had their water supply cut. We still had our water supply and I guessed that we were using…
Yesterday was the MIL’s last day with us before her departure to Hong Kong today. She will be in Hong Kong and New Zealand for several months. Our kitchen was closed the whole of yesterday and we had dinner at a nearby restaurant as she wanted to spend time doing last minute packing. While we…
This is my breakfast today: Milo sprinkled on homemade wholewheat bread with sliced jumbo sized strawberries. This is anytime healthier than char koay teow, chee cheong fun, curry laksa or nasi lemak eh? I realize that if I cut down on deep fried, oily and spicy food, the monthly zits will stop bothering my face….
My multi-colored fried rice is ready and it is 11:30am now. After frying the rice, I transferred it into my Shuttle Chef Thermos pot before placing the pot into the insulated outer pot to keep the rice warm. My 3 rascals come home from school at different times of the day from 12:30pm, 2pm to…
This little devil gave me yet another heart-stopping moment today, plus two yesterday! Yesterday, she ran out from the kitchen, slipped on the slightly wet floor and almost hit her chin hard on the marble table. She scared the sh*t out of the mil and me! Minutes later, she rolled off the chair and fell…
The girls had a great time bonding with their youngest cousin, Raelyne when we were in Ipoh last weekend to celebrate my dad’s 70th birthday. Raelyne is my eldest brother’s only daughter. They live in Singapore. Cass used to be the youngest and most pampered member in the family but this ‘baby position’ has since…
We often read of devastating stories from the newspapers on how babies choke to death while being bottle fed with milk. In most of the cases, the babies were being cared for by unregistered babysitters who operate from home. It really breaks my heart to read of such stories and I cannot fathom how the…
Further to my earlier post on my scary encounter with my neighbor’s mentally challenged 10-year old son, I bumped into my neighbor and her son again this morning. The moment I stepped out of the house, I heard his voice. I was hoping that the lift door would open quickly and I could go inside…
I thought I could have a relaxing weekend but it turned out to be a busy one for me. I spent my Friday night, Saturday and Sunday helping Alycia and Sherilyn with their school project. Alycia’s Kajian Tempatan project was on the different types of houses found in Malaysia and Sherilyn’s Science project was on…
