The Magic Bullet

Ever since I found out about psyllium husk and have been consuming it, I hardly suffer from constipation (knock on wood!). Before psyllium husks came into my life, I had tried several products to stimulate my bowel movements, including using laxatives which caused terrible tummy aches. I now gulp down a tablespoon of psyllium husk…

Baby C Wants To Swim Too

Alycia and Sherilyn had their first swimming lesson on Tuesday. Just before they took their nap, I dug out their swimming suits, caps and goggles and laid them on Aly’s bed so that when they got up from their nap, they can hop right into their swimming suits.  Baby who was gallivanting from room to…

Our 10th Wedding Anniversary

This year marks hubby and my 10th wedding anniversary. We were registered in the year 1999 and our wedding ceremony was held the following year. How time flies. Hubby once told me that on our 10th wedding anniversary, we would go to the bridal studio to get some nice shots of us and our kids…

Like Real Only

Saturdays are the only days that Aly and Sher can have prolonged breakfast and watch TV for hours.  Last Saturday, I saw Sher sitting on the couch eating her egg for breakfast, not watching TV but ‘reading’ her Ladybird story book… like real only, as if she could read hahaha!  She was so wrapped up…

The Indulgent Grandparents

Would you agree with me that most grandparents are indulgent grandparents and would spoil their grand children rotten? My parents are and so is my mil. And my 3 gals are darn lucky. When we were back in Ipoh recently, my dad (whom we feared the most when we were young as he’s fierce!) was the yes-man…

‘Healthy’ Instant Noodles

When I was shopping for groceries at Tesco the other day, I came upon instant noodles that are supposedly healthy.  Since my 2 older gals have been pestering me all the time to allow them to eat instant noodles, I bought a pack of Cintan brand MSG-free instant noodles to try. The noodles are made from…

Not Quite A Princess

See how samseng my princess wannabe is here : Sher is doing her pre-school homework here but as usual, she must move her body and fidget every single part of her body… coz that’s Sherilyn!  I can never ever get her to sit still for just about anything (except when she’s seated right in front…

Self Entertainment

Sometimes, I am really amazed to see how my 2 older brats can find activities to entertain themselves when I’m too busy to entertain them. This is one of the silly but fun and hilarious activities that they came out with by themselves, which  made me made burst out in a guffaw when I saw…

Dinosaur Aged Shape Sorter

My mum gets very sentimental with the toys that her kids once played with and clothes that we once wore. She keeps everything from our first blanky to our first Peter & Jane book to just about everything. Oh, she even keeps her maternity clothes which she wore 38+ years ago… which I wore when I…

Gold Is So Valuable Now

When I was back in my hometown recently, I removed some of my gold jewelries from the bank and brought them to the goldsmith, just for the fun of checking how much they cost now. I was astounded when the goldsmith told me that they are now worth almost three times that of the original…

Fond Childhood Memories

Hubby bought a bunch of  lin thoong (fresh lotus seeds in pod) when we were in Ipoh last week. Gosh, it has been yonks since I last ate or saw fresh lotus seeds in pod. It sure brought me back many fond childhood memories when I saw this bunch of lin thoong : The white seed on…

Second Payment From Google Adsense

I received my second payment from Google Adsense several months ago but only had the time to withdraw the cash from Western Union several days ago.  The exchange rate was pretty good at 3.58 and I managed to cash out RM843.  Quite a lot of money eh?  I used to earn much more than that from…

Bye-Bye School Holidays, Back To School

The 2-week school holidays have come to an end.  Tomorrow it’s back to school for the gals and also time for me to spend hours coaching them in their homework again. No more waking up late for everyone and no more being glued to the telly the whole day for the gals.  I really need…

A Very Early Father’s Day Celebration

Since we were all in Ipoh this week, hubby and I planned a very advanced Father’s Day celebration for my dad. On Wednesday, hubby brought us to Moven Peak for a very sumptuous and enjoyable eat-all-you-can steamboat which was priced very reasonably.   Initially, we could not decide whether to go to Mun Choong Chinese Restaurant…
