Today our baking queen baked her very first loaf of hand-kneaded bread, which is Brioche loaf bread and Brioche buns! According to her, the bread is not 100% perfect as the texture is not super fluffy and pillowy but her sisters and I think that it’s pretty good — super soft, buttery and rich (she…
Today marks the last day of the Conditional Movement Control Order. Effective tomorrow, 10 June through 31 August 2020, our country will be placed in a Recovery Movement Control Order (RMCO) phase. Today our country recorded no cases of Covid-19 transmissions among locals, over the last 24-hours. According to our very capable Health Ministry Director-General Datuk…
One of the after effects of the almost 3 months long MCO is that our girls have now become insomniac! They wake up way after 9 a.m. and don’t even feel sleepy way after midnight. Their circadian rhythms have gone haywire. Their eating habits have gone out of whack. When they are bored, especially Cass,…
These days, it is very common for students to have tuition for additional knowledge and guidance outside of school. In Malaysia, especially in large cities such as Johor Bahru, Kuala Lumpur and Penang, parents are always on the look out for the best tutors for their children so that they can learn and perform academically…
This morning’s jog was cut short when it started to drizzle. Oh how I dislike wet mornings! I continued running for a short while in the drizzle until it got heavier. Getting a minimum of 30 minutes run each day is as important as getting my daily supplements. My daily workout is akin to popping…
Tuesday, 2 June 2020 With over 2 months of being stuck at home and devoid of a daily part-time helper, all the cleaning and washing finally took a toll on my hands. My stiff shoulders got stiffer and the crick in my neck got ‘cricker’. I’m currently suffering from pain on my right hand (the…
Over two months of zero face-to-face meet-up with friends and relatives, zero parties, zero celebratory dinners at restaurants and no church to go to during this Covid19 pandemic means I’ve not been dressing up in my pretty dresses for this long. The only few places that I frequent the past few weeks are the supermarket, pharmacies and…
I can’t believe that five months of the New Year just flew past us, with 2.5 months spent sheltering at home. When I was a school girl, we were told that Wawasan 2020 (Vision 2020) is the year that many great things would happen. We were asked umpteen times to write essays on this topic…

Today is hubby’s catering company’s first catering function during the MCO and CMCO. It’s for a board meeting of a large organization. Meals are served in bento boxes and from the photos that were taken, I can see very good social distancing practice amongst the board members during lunch. There will be another catering event…
Sherilyn got up very early this morning. She wouldn’t get up early if she doesn’t have an activity… or have something up her sleeve. Since it’s the school holidays now and online classes by school teachers are suspended during the holidays, I knew she’s up to something in the kitchen because for the past few…
When I came back from my morning jog at 10 a.m., breakfast was almost ready. Our baking queen was whipping up some pancakes in the kitchen! She made button pancakes and regular size pancakes in 3 flavors – original, matcha and chocolate. Cute as a button – these super cute button pancakes are so easy…
Wednesday, 20 May 2020 The sunrise at 7 a.m. today was rather spectacular – the sky was not sure whether to cry buckets or smile sunnily. It was dark and ominous yet amidst the stormy blue colored sky, the sun peeked out fleetingly from the horizon. The colors projected on the sky were too beautiful not…
