Big Apple Doughnuts

We went shopping at Mid Valley and Gardens today.  When we walked across to Gardens from Mid Valley, we noticed the newly opened Big Apple doughnuts outlet.  I knew hubby who’s a big time doughnut fan would surely get some and sure enough, he queued up for 15 minutes to get himself a dozen of…

Cool Disney Cards

These cards from Hong Kong Disneyland are made of plastic and have a different picture of a Disney character on each card.  I use them to teach my gals numbers and I don’t have to worry about them playing and tearing the cards coz they are made of plastic.    No. of times viewed = 422

A Dull Sunday

Today we did not go to church or anywhere as hubby has to work.  My mil went to the market in the morning and brought our Cambodian maid along.  I know for sure that if our maid is away from home for a few hours, many household chores will be left undone and she will…

My Maid Toasted My Pre-Natal Vitamins!

Yesterday, my Cambodian maid almost toasted all my pre-natal vitamins.  My pre-natal vitamins are all placed in a large melamine bowl in the kitchen.  When she toasted bread for breakfast, she placed the large bowl of vitamins on top of the toaster.  I did not notice it until half an hour later when I popped the vitamins…

Lots Of Chocolates and Crackers

These are some of the chocolates, crackers and candies that my mil bought from Japan, New Zealand and Hong Kong.  Most of these expire this year, which means that we have to quickly eat them.  I don’t really fancy sweet stuff and chocolates but it’s really hard to resist when there’s so much temptation and I…

Cambodian Maid Stories Again

My Cambodian maid only speaks a smattering of English.  She doesn’t know the word “squat”.  Each time she brings Alycia and Sherilyn to the loo to pee when we go out, she will say this to them “sit” as she motions them to squat at the squatting toilet bowl.  I have been trying hard to correct…

Deep Fried Arrow Roots

The only time we get to eat deep fried arrow root chips is during Chinese New Year. Many shops and stalls were already selling these chips one month before CNY. I l bought a bottle for RM16 last week and almost finished the entire bottle by myself, with a little help from Alycia and Sherilyn…

Alycia And Our New Maid Are Good Friends

Alycia seems to hit it off really well with our new Cambodian maid.  She tries to be chummy with her and talks to her all the time…. coz she’s got ulterior motive.  Today she asked her kakak to carry her like a baby!  Just a moment ago, she asked kakak to carry her like a baby…

Our Cambodian Maid

….. can really ‘kaik sei ngor’ (can really anger me till death).   Though she’s hardworking, some of the things she does can really kaik sei ngor.  She tries to be efficient by putting the dirty clothes into the washing machine whenever she sees them in the laundry basket, even if there were only a few pieces…

Sherilyn Is Driving Me Insane

…..with her crying and puking.  Each time she cries, she will surely puke, whether it is a 5 minute wail or a 10 minute wail.  I still won’t really mind if she pukes during the day or at the dining table during meal times but when she cries and pukes on herself and on the…

Fish Spa

Since our plan to visit the Fish Spa at Pavillion did not materializ on New Year’s Eve, we finally made a trip there today. It was an eye-opener and an experience of a life-time but I would not go for another session. I’d rather go for a proper feet massage done by human. The feeling…

Pregnancy At Week 26+

I went for my pre-natal check-up today.  The ultrasound scan revealed that my baby’s right kidney is still mildly dilated.   The umbilical cord is also round her neck in a single loop.  When I heard my ObG telling me that, I was really worried but my ObG was so blase about it and told me it’s very…

MIL Is Back

My mil is back from Hong Kong for 1.5 weeks but she will be away for an overseas holiday during the CNY before coming back to KL and will stay on until I have delivered the baby in April. She brought back 2 huge suit cases and 1 carton box of Disney souvenirs, Disney cookies, chocolates, Manuka…

Sherilyn Hates Our New Maid

There just isn’t any chemistry between my new maid and Sherilyn.  When Sherilyn saw our new Cambodian temp maid for the first time, she had just woken up from her nap.  She was sobbing away on the mattress as I was talking to the maid agent.  When I asked her why she was crying, she…

Relief For Varicose Veins

I finally bought myself a pair of support stockings from the pharmacy to relief the bulging varicose veins on my legs.  The pair of stockings cost me RM89, freaking expensive!  Though I had bought the stockings for 3 days already, I had only worn it once for half a day yesterday.  It’s really troublesome to…
