Today’s Sunday brunch was once again just hubby and me. With my mother-in-law feeling under the weather and staying home, Alycia busy at her course mate’s house working on an assignment, Sherilyn at her grand aunt’s unit working on her architecture project, and Cass, as usual, training at the skating rink, it was another rare…
If you’re a fan of bodycon dresses or skinny jeans, I’m sure you’ve been there: you slip into that cute dress or jeans, only to dread the unsightly bumps and rolling waistbands of your underwear. These shouldn’t ruin your outfit of the day. There’s a simple solution to it. Seamless bras and compression bodysuit that…
Yesterday was another rare lunch date with hubby—just the two of us again. With everyone else occupied, it felt like a mini getaway in the midst of a bustling Sunday. My MIL had an outing with her sisters-in-law, Alycia was off glamping with her course mates at Glamping @ Wetland Putrajaya, Sherilyn was immersed in…
The expanded SST (Sales and Service Tax) that took effect on 1 July 2025 has officially kicked us Malaysians hard on the butt — especially for families like mine who thrive on fruits and wholesome eating. Being a household that loves imported fruits like avocados, kiwis, and lemons, I felt the pinch immediately. Today, when…
Cass’s lunner (lunch + dinner) yesterday was a delicious yet simple homecooked meal — air-fried chicken chop with tomatoes and blanched broccoli. The chicken was marinated with a mix of teriyaki sauce, soy sauce, a bit of oyster sauce, Lea & Perrins, black pepper, minced garlic, dried rosemary, and my secret twist — St. Dalfour’s…
Today is a happy Monday indeed — because Maria, our part-time helper, is finally back! After being away for almost a year, it feels so good to see her again. She had taken time off during her pregnancy and returned to Indonesia to give birth to her second baby. And now, after months of waiting,…
Yesterday was Cass’s big day — Skate Malaysia 2025, the event she had been preparing for tirelessly for over a month. All the hours spent training, all the sacrifices, and all the juggling between school and skating came down to that one performance. And honestly, I think I was more nervous than she was, not…
Yesterday’s lunch was exactly the kind of meal I enjoy — simple, clean, and non-greasy. While I was at the chicken rice stall getting roast chicken breast for Cass, I decided to get RM5 worth of lean char siu for myself. No rice, no sauces — just the char siu, which I wrapped in organic…
When it comes to fruits, everyone has their own preferences — some love them juicy and sweet, while others (like me!) prefer them a little on the firm and less sugary side. Take bananas, for instance. Most people get excited over fully ripened, spotty bananas — soft, sweet, and aromatic. But for me, that’s a…
Our girl Alycia has truly embraced a whirlwind season of adventure, learning, and growth. Just last week, she returned from Penang, and two days ago she flew off to Sarawak. Even now, as I’m writing this, she’s mid-flight to Kota Kinabalu, Sabah. What a life! This isn’t just leisurely travel — she’s been diligently working…
Move over plastic bottles, there’s a new hydration hero in town – and it’s got style, weight, and a price tag to match. I’m talking about the now-trending Chako Lab water tumblers, which have officially taken over the bags and desks of Gen Z university students – including my daughter Alycia. Alycia recently jumped on…

Last Wednesday, hubby was suddenly craving curry noodles and suggested we head over to the famous Girl & Mommy Famous Curry Mee at Jalan Chan Sow Lin. He’s been wanting to try it again for a while now, and the stars finally aligned for our little food adventure. Now, this isn’t your average bowl of…
