Watching TV

Posted on September 3, 2007 by Shireen

Would anyone like to guess what’s stewing inside this crockpot? Hint – they’re something rare from the deep ocean, they are very costly and can only be eaten in certain restaurants.

After a 6-month break for Alycia, I have decided to send her back to pre-school tomorrow. She has not fallen sick for more than 1 month now and praying hard that her immune system is stronger now, I hope she will love going to school again and will not fall sick so easily. Going back…

Placating A Whining Child

Posted on September 2, 2007 by Shireen

This afternoon just before nap time, Alycia was acting up and was whining away. I tried to placate her by reading a story book to her but that did not stop her from whining. Suddenly, I choked on my own saliva and kept coughing. As Alycia was still whining away in my ear, I pretended…

Shanghainese Mooncakes

Posted on September 1, 2007 by Shireen

There are the Shanghainese mooncakes that hubby’s aunty made. They are by far one of the tastiest mooncakes I have eaten as they are not too sweet and she blends and cooks the lotus seeds herself to make as fillings for the mooncakes. The crust is a little crunchy and fragrant too. Though I fancy…

Packet Unveiled

Posted on September 1, 2007 by Shireen

Looks like only Hui Sia half guessed it right what was inside the packet. This is what I ate for breakfast a couple of days ago – fried vegetarian meehoon with santan-free chicken breast curry. I’ve not eaten this sort of food for breakfast for ages and it certainly felt good eating them after such…

What’s Inside The Packet?

Posted on August 31, 2007 by Shireen

Yesterday morning as I was having my morning stroll, I suddenly had the urge to eat something that I’ve not eaten for quite some time. So I went to the van selling breakfast and packed that food. I couldn’t wait to reach home to feast on the food. Want to know what’s inside the packet?…

How We Spent Our Merdeka Day

Posted on August 31, 2007 by Shireen

We went to Mid Valley Megamall at around 11am today and as it was a public holiday, the traffic was pretty horrendous. There were oceans of people and a human traffic jam at Mid Valley. We wanted to have lunch at Dragon-I but the queue was crazy. We then retreated and went to American Chillis…

Merdeka!

Posted on August 31, 2007 by Shireen

Merdeka! Merdeka! Merdeka! These were the words I heard from a group of primary school kids chanting outside my house whilst we were having breakfast at around 9am yesterday morning. The troop of students, all dressed up in national costumes together with their teachers from a nearby school were marching round the neighbourhood holding flags…

Blog Approved

I am just so happy that this particuar advertiser has approved my blog several days ago. I was 5th time lucky this time. I’d submitted and re-submitted my blog as well as written to them a couple of times in the past few months but I kept getting the same message “your blog will only…

Muddy Mess

Posted on August 30, 2007 by Shireen

The water finally flowed back into our taps at around 11am today and as expected after every pipe burst, the water would be murky and dirty. After the water flowed out from the taps for about 1 minute, it stopped again as the mud and dirt had clogged up the tap. My maid then removed…

Porridge For 3 Days

Posted on August 30, 2007 by Shireen

Since hubby had a bad bout of food poisoning as a result of eating sushi at the hotel that we stayed at last weekend, we have been eating chicken and dried scallop porridge for 3 days straight. My maid would cook one big pot of porridge and everyone in the family including my maid would…

Each time my mil is back, Alycia and Sherilyn are the happiest. Not only will their mah mah pamper them with gifts, she will also be their life saviour when I scold or cane them. Whenever I cane them, they will act up and cry louder and harder and then run to mah mah for…

What A Bummer

Posted on August 30, 2007 by Shireen

One of the things that upset me a lot is when the water supply to my house is cut off. This week itself, the underground water pipes near our house burst twice, once 2 days ago and this morning, they burst again. This happens very frequently at our housing estate as it is an old…
