This week is another NO REST week for me. I want to bawl my eyes out. It’s enervating having to wake up when it’s still pitch black outside, knowing that it’s a damn Saturday or Sunday, but instead of under my comfy blanket, I have to force my butt out of bed to do my…

Posted on April 3, 2019April 3, 2019 by Shireen

Two weeks ago, the mil asked me to order a board game called Rummikub from Lazada. She had played this board game in Hong Kong and has fallen in love with it. I did a search and found out that Rummikub is available at Lazada but it’s shipped from China. I ordered it anyway as…

After I touched the 4 series, I often lose track of my age! I often have to use my birth year to calculate my age in the current year ? ? I wonder whether I’ll still remember my age when I touch the 6, 7 and 8 series. Do you face the same issue as me?…

Just For Laughs

Posted on March 27, 2019March 29, 2019 by Shireen

Someone is super duper bored being cooped up at home during the school holidays. She’s got no where to release her Energizer Bunny battery. Whilst checking her school holiday homework (English subject), check out what I found! Initially she wrote a different answer, which was the standard polite answer that it should. Then she erased…

We had a sumptuous lunch of Japanese hot pot at the newly opened Stone Nine by Jiro Shabu today. Upon entering the restaurant, we were awed by the awesome interior decor.

Helloooo!

Posted on March 17, 2019March 19, 2019 by Shireen

Hey everyone, HFM is back! Sorry for the lack of updates. I haven’t been out of town but have been hibernating at home, dishing out not dishes but close to 40 articles for my online boss. That’s an average of between six to eight articles a day. This marathon of assignments reminds me of the…

Different Kind of Hide-And-Seek

Posted on March 11, 2019March 11, 2019 by Shireen

There’s a different kind of hide-and-seek game in our home. It’s a “mum hides gadget, mum soon forgets hiding place, kids look high and low for it and finally gadget pops out when you least expect it” sort of game. All the time. Because mum has too many things to sort out in her mind…
