More On Home Delivered Food

Posted on July 27, 2012July 27, 2012 by Shireen

Each time I order daily catered food, I would wait impatiently for the day to come for it to end! This is the 2nd time I am trying out daily catered food and both times, I gave up on the second day and have to ‘endure’ for 2-3 weeks for the days to reach the…

My 4YO baby girl giving me a helping hand with the wet laundry. Ever since the helper left a week ago, Cass has been helping me with the laundry — hanging and keeping them as well as folding and placing them back into the respective drawers . Alycia and Sherilyn do not have much time…

Posted on July 23, 2012September 11, 2013 by Shireen

This coming August is an exciting as well as busy month ahead for me. First it is Alycia’s 3rd term school exam. Whenever it’s her exam, I am always the one who gets all anxious and stressed up! It’s also my dad’s birthday and I look forward to going back to Ipoh to celebrate…

Deep Freezing Spaghetti

Posted on July 21, 2012July 21, 2012 by Shireen

A few days before the helper was to leave us for good, I got her to cook a big pot of beef bolognaise sauce and to blanch extra spaghetti noodles so that I could deep freeze them into smaller portions for future lunches when she’s gone. There are still 2 containers of spaghetti sauce in…

Maidless At Home

Posted on July 18, 2012July 18, 2012 by Shireen

When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. After months of drumming into their little heads that after kakak leaves, everyone will have their fair share of own chores, the actual scene swung into action since 2 days ago. Cass and Sherilyn are in charged of folding the clothes and keeping them into the…

The Day Is Here!

Posted on July 17, 2012July 18, 2012 by Shireen

As I am typing this post, my helper of 4.5 years has just stepped out of the door and will be back for good. She was given a day’s off yesterday to do sight-seeing and to do some last minute shopping. I think I can cope without a maid BUT heavy cooking must be dropped….

The Time Has Come…

Posted on July 14, 2012July 14, 2012 by Shireen

The clock is ticking away. My live-in helper who has been working for us for over 4 years will be leaving early next week… for GOOD. After 10 years of having 5 maids (excluding 2 temporary maids), the day has finally come where I will have to learn to live without a maid and…

Seafood Noodles For The Kids

Posted on July 11, 2012 by Shireen

My girls’ all-time favorite for lunch – noodles with squids (all 3 of them are hooked on squids!), prawns, veggie in a bowl of anchovies soup. I gave them each a hard-boiled free-range chicken egg for added nutrients. They can eat this twice a day, 2 days in a row and fuss-free. And it’s…

Await Cafe @ Taman Danau Desa, KL

Posted on July 9, 2012July 9, 2012 by Shireen

We had breakfast at the newly opened Await Cafe @ Taman Danau Desa after bringing the girls to the park yesterday morning. My foodie hubs brought us there on Saturday morning after attending Cassandra’s sports day event but the cafe was not ready to serve us yet. So the next day, he tried his luck…

Book Maniac

Posted on July 6, 2012July 6, 2012 by Shireen

My 8.5YO daughter taking after me — reading while eating. She can spend an hour eating and reading (either own story books, school library books or newspapers) at the same time. And then adjourn to the throne and spend another hour reading there. Coz she knows that after her lunch and shower, she is not…

The IKEA Sale Is Back!!

My hubs is all geared up to rush into the Ikea store in the morning of 5 July 2012 to grab some of the best deals ever! He is one big fan of Ikea. For someone who has absolutely no patience shopping with me, he can however spend the whole morning with me at Ikea…

Savings For The Kids’ Tertiary Education

Posted on July 2, 2012July 2, 2012 by Shireen

Sherilyn is now into Grade 2 of the Royal Academy of Dance for ballet. When she first attended ballet lessons, we paid only about RM70 for a once weekly lesson. Then, a few months before the exam, the teacher increased the lessons to twice weekly and the fees was doubled too. Now that she is…

Washing Delicate Clothes In The Washing Machine

Posted on June 27, 2012June 29, 2012 by Shireen

This is how I wash our delicate and expensive outing clothes : Fold the clothes and place them inside an old bolster case. Tie both ends of the bolster case and then put the bolster case with the clothes into a double layer washing net (which I bought from Daiso and 100 Yen Shop) before…

Quirky Kids

Posted on June 26, 2012June 26, 2012 by Shireen

I’ll bet no one has ever thought of drinking soup and the gooey essence inside the pig’s bone marrow with a straw! I’ll just suck it out with my mouth but my artsy fartsy rascal #2 had a better idea! Have I told you before that this rascal also enjoys eating porridge through a straw…

Our Lazy Sunday

Posted on June 25, 2012June 24, 2012 by Shireen

It was a very lazy Sunday for me. Hubs was in Penang with his gang of basketball ‘kaki’ to take part in a friendly basketball match with some Penang basketball players. I was in absolutely no mood to cook today. So I bought nasi lemak for breakfast and made fried egg sandwiches for lunch. While…
