Mother’s Day 2022 – 8 May 2022

As I was typing the title of this post, the date suddenly hit me. It’s the month of May and the anniversary of Cass’ surgery and our 3-week nightmarish stay in Gleneagles Medical Centre (GMC), Penang exactly 13 years ago. The days spent with Cass at GMC were so overwhelming that it’s hard to repress…

Same Dish, Four Meals Consecutively

Before the mil left for Ipoh last Sunday during the Hari Raya holidays, she cooked a huge pot of brinjal with minced meat. The brinjals were from hubby’s central kitchen as he cleared his fridge. He usually clears the fridges at his kitchen when there’s a long break. The portion of braised brinjal with minced…

Another Kitten?

NO way, though I’d love to! Hubby’s friend rescued a litter of kittens yesterday and this little cream baby kept calling out to me. Hubs sent me videos and photos of the fur baby and asked if I’d like to have another cat! What? No of course! One is enough for now. Another fur baby…

Alycia is back in Ipoh to visit her grandparents. She followed her grandma’s (mil) friend who’s driving back to Ipoh and there’s one more seat in her car for Alycia to tag along. It’s been more than two years since Alycia went back to Ipoh and has not seen my parents for this long. This…

Homemade Assorted Madeleines

Our teenage chef is on a madeleine baking frenzy! She made two batches on the same day some time last week and it was a BIG HIT with everyone, especially Cass. Cass even brought the madeleines to school for recess. She’s one stubborn fella who just wouldn’t want to bring any food to school despite…

Haru The Goblin

This cheeky pussy gave Sherilyn and me a major heart attack this afternoon. She was playing her favorite game of ‘football’ with an Izumio cap when she accidentally swiped the cap under the fridge. While trying to retrieve the cap, Haru’s paw got wedged under the tiny gap between the fridge and the floor. I…

It’s finally Friyay! I can finally get an extra 2 hours of sleep for the next two days. I’m going to make this post a short one coz I want to catch up on reading news that I’ve missed the past few days, do some online shopping and if I don’t doze off in front…

The Benefits of Wireless Bras

The bra is an undergarment that celebrates a woman’s individuality and uniqueness. It is a part of her intimate world and highlights her sensuality. As the bra is worn snugly on a woman’s best assets, it is like her second skin. Thus, choosing a super comfortable bra is essential so that she feels physically relaxed…

Cassandra Is 14!

Our littlest darling turned 14 last Saturday – 9 April 2022. She has definitely come a long way. For those of you who have been following my blogs way before Cass was born would know her medical history. She’s not 100% out of the woods yet and we’re still trudging slowly, but in no real…

Hassle-Free Motor Insurance With 0% Interest-Free Instalment Plans

Most of us are constantly trying to find ways to cut down on our expenditures – from the monthly grocery bill to our children’s expenses, utility bills to our various insurance policies. For a family of five with two adults and 3 children, the typical insurance scenario is motor insurance each for the husband and…

My 49th Birthday

This year is the third year that I’ve had a low-key birthday celebration, done at home. We were in lockdown the past two years and this year, though our country is now in transition to endemic phase, I still couldn’t go out to have a blast. It’s a no-brainer guess. Darn Covid. Alycia was tested…

Another Covid Scare

This time it’s Cass’ turn. She may be in close contact with a Covid positive index from our condo block. They were both at the gym on Wednesday night. On Friday, the lady who went to the gym tested positive for Covid. The condo Managment office was notified on the same day. Today a staff…

Another Drama

Yet another drama happened to Cass on Friday – she with her beloved Haru, which resulted in us at the clinic again. On Friday night Cass put Haru inside a box and played ‘peekaboo’ with her. Cass must have put her face right outside the flaps of the box to “Peekaboo” at Haru. When Haru…
