Sherilyn, albeit younger than Alycia eats way more than Alycia. Each night, Sherilyn will request that she wants several types of snacks in her lunch box. If there is homemade cake, she will ask for 1 (sometimes 2 or 3 slices) and some biscuits too. If I am making sandwiches, she wants about 4-5 pieces…
Alycia came home from school on Monday looking jaded, moody and had flushed cheeks and scarlet colored lips. Still in her school uniform, she curled herself up on the couch and dozed off, without eating her lunch. Her body was burning hot and her body temperature was close to 40 degrees Celcius. Daddy brought her…
My dad has been making his own fruit enzyme liquid to be used as cleansing agent for years. During our recent trip back to Ipoh, I found that the fruit enzyme cleans oily dishes very effectively, so I asked my mum for some of their fruit enzyme cleaner. The fruit enzyme is to be mixed…
During our food hunt in our recent Ipoh trip, we brought the girls to visit a Heong Peang ‘factory’ in Gunung Rapat, Ipoh, before adjourning to Sam Poh Toong Caves. From the facade of the makeshift ‘factory’ housed in an attap house in one of the ‘kampung’ of Gunung Rapat, no one, absolutely no one…
Without a live-in maid, my mil and I have to alter the dishes on our menu. There are now lesser elaborate dishes that cause oil splatters, though my mil still prepares pan-fried fish and pancakes using our newly acquired Happy Call Pan (HCP), which is a gift from my mum. Here’s what my mil prepared…
Foh San dim sum was the first eatery on my To Eat List in Ipoh this trip. For the first time, everyone else in the family agreed unanimously on the eating place without any objection or giving other suggestions. I was happy and excited as my suggestion was not booed. It’s been ages since I…
During my revision with Alycia on Science subject before her exam last week, I found out that her understanding of the concept of spring is very shallow. She seems very confused with the correlation of the diameter of the spring and its elasticity. I am ever more surprised that her Science (in Mandarin) teacher did…
After lunch at Ishin Japanese Restaurant @ Old Klang Road yesterday, we headed over to Antipodean @ Menara Tan and Tan to have desserts with Alan Yun and Emily Lim, our 2 local celebrity friends. My hubs and I were pretty surprised that the Antipodean outlet at Menara Tan and Tan wasn’t as packed as…
Ever since kakak went back to Indonesia for good, I involve the girls in almost every chore – hanging out, retrieving, folding and keeping the clothes, cleaning up before and after meals and cleaning up their own mess. You spill drinks, you drop food on the floor – you clean them up. Alycia was exempted…
Here’s my cart-full of cushions, cushion covers, floor mats, some kitchen accessories and dining ware and knick knacks from my favorite furniture shop, IKEA. Bought all of these yesterday morning after dropping off Cass at school. I told the hubs that since we needed to replace all our cushions with new ones, we better go…
Last Saturday, I made an eleventh hour decision to allow the girls to have a 1-night getaway at Hilton Sentral as daddy’s free voucher was expiring on that day. He gets a free night’s stay at Hilton Sentral every year when he renews his membership with the Hilton Hotel group. Initially I had wanted to…
