Posted on May 20, 2020 by Shireen

Dog parents have a variety of reasons why they dress up their fur kid in clothes. The reasons vary by dog, weather and situation. Some put a coat on their dog in winter to keep it warm. Have you ever seen some dogs shiver violently during winter? This is where a dog coat will do…

Raincoat For Dogs

Posted on May 19, 2020 by Shireen

When Sporty, my pet dog was still alive many moons back, we had walks around our neighborhood every day. It was a time that we both looked forward to and enjoyed immensely in the evening. It was such a great time for us to bond. On rainy days, I still took him out for his…

From Our Kitchen During MCO

Posted on May 17, 2020May 17, 2020 by Shireen

This MCO, which is the longest school holidays in our education history, our baking queen gets to experiment baking and cooking almost everyday. It’s hurting our wallets as she whips up non-economical bakes and dishes most of the time. But then again, having good culinary and baking skills are essential survival skills. Heck, she could…

MCO Day 59 ~ 15 May 2020 (Friday)

Posted on May 15, 2020May 16, 2020 by Shireen

Our fridge is almost empty. Besides a few sticks of carrots and half a bitter gourd, there’s no more vegetables. I’ve not gone grocery shopping since shopping with hubs at Jaya Grocer on Sunday. But my car is still stuck in the car repair shop and hubs is stuck at his shop. With so many…

MCO Day 58 ~ 14 May 2020 (Thursday)

Posted on May 14, 2020May 15, 2020 by Shireen

After my usual MCO-style morning workout of stairs-climbing (5th floor > 18th floor > Ground floor), I jogged for another 30 minutes in the 10-ish a.m. sun. I find that jogging under the morning sun gives me a lot of energy and elevates my mood (not to mention the sunshine vitamin / Vitamin D), besides…

How to Get Fit at Home

Posted on May 14, 2020May 14, 2020 by Shireen

You need to be fit, but you would prefer not to join a gym. Because it’s costly, there’s no recreational center helpful to you, or perhaps you are the independent type. You have an option for working out at your home, or you can always check out Algarve Golf Holiday blog for tips on how…

MCO Day 57 ~ 13 May 2020 (Wednesday)

Posted on May 13, 2020May 14, 2020 by Shireen

Today is payment day to the girls’ tuition centers and transporters, all done via online banking since last month. Though there is still no formal directive from the Government on bus fare to school transporters throughout the MCO, there was however an opinion by a Minister in the newspapers recently that parents do not have to…

Six Perfect Rainy Day Crafts

Posted on May 13, 2020May 13, 2020 by Shireen

Occasionally the weather keeps you stuck inside. For those days when it’s raining but you don’t want to read a book or binge on Netflix, consider a fun DIY or craft project to keep you busy. Most can be done with things you already have around the house. If you find yourself running low on…

MCO Day 54 ~ 10 May 2020 (Sunday, Mother’s Day)

Posted on May 12, 2020May 14, 2020 by Shireen

It certainly doesn’t feel like Mother’s Day today. Ever since I became a mother 17 years ago, Mother’s Day on the second Sunday of May revolved around going to some fancy restaurants or hotels for a luxurious Mother’s Day lunch, complete with cakes and gifts. Every single year, except in the year 2009. That was…

MCO Day 53 ~ 9 May 2020 (Saturday)

Posted on May 9, 2020 by Shireen

My day didn’t start off too smoothly today. I’m utterly disappointed with someone but I shall not talk about the specifics here. The person may be reading this post or someone known to this person may be reading it and this post may get to this particular person somehow. The internet can be agathokakological – it…

MCO Day 51 ~ 7 May 2020 (Thursday)

Posted on May 8, 2020May 8, 2020 by Shireen

Today is Wesak Day but Buddhists in our country and in most parts of the world have to celebrate quietly while sheltering at home. The photo below was taken on Wesak Day 11 years ago from the 5th floor of our hospital room in Penang. Cass, my helper and I were still camping at Gleneagles…

MCO Day 49 ~ 5 May 2020

Posted on May 6, 2020May 6, 2020 by Shireen

Today is just another uneventful MCO day at home. My poor car is still stuck at the car repair shop as the boss is facing difficulties getting the spare parts to his shop due to the MCO. I can’t wait to have my car back and give it a good scrub. She’s not taken a …

Posted on May 6, 2020May 6, 2020 by Shireen

According to a study conducted by a psychologist at University of Winchester in New Hampshire in 2017, it was revealed that both the genders view the eyes as the most important facial feature. Gorgeous hair and lips are also important factors in the beauty stakes, while the nose was reported as one of the least…

MCO Day 47 ~ 3 May 2020 (Sunday)

Posted on May 4, 2020 by Shireen

I sacrificed my morning workout today to go groceries shopping with hubs. It’s a relief that the Government now allows two people from the same household to go shopping together. When we buy groceries, we buy a lot, enough to last us for several days. And that’s a heavy load to carry to the car, unload…
