Ever since my maid went back to Indonesia, I’ve been preparing very simple lunch for the gals. I am too tired to cook and my new temp Cambodian maid does not have much culinary skills. Today, I made them toasted black sesame sandwich with fried eggs, chicken floss and Japanese cucumber. Though it was a simple lunch, the…

Practise Whatcha Preach Mummy!
Whenever Alycia and Sherilyn talk non-stop during lunch or dinner with their mouth full of food, I’ll tell them this “don’t talk when you eat. Your mouth is full of food”. The gals’ former nanny came over for dinner this evening. I was busy talking to her whilst I was eating. I was also reprimanding…
Sky Diving In Las Vegas
If the glitzy casinos, spectacular night life, great shows and entertainment in the ‘Sin City’ of Las Vegas do not thrill you, there are many other more interesting and breathtaking activities to partake. I’m one who is more game for the adrenaline-pumping activities like walking out over the edge of the Grand Canyon and sky-diving…
Lightning Surge Protector For My Golden Goose
Ever since the network card in my PC was struck by lighting, I have a phobia whenever there is lightning. My computer technician advised me to get a surge protector which acts to protect my PC, the modem and our telephone line. The protector is affixed to the wall socket and all other plugs are…
Green Tea Pastry Egg Tart
Green tea has been touted as a health beverage and it’s supposedly high in antioxidants. Green tea has been so hyped up that it’s being used in almost every snack around ranging from green tea chiffon cakes to green tea bread, green tea ice-cream, green tea cream puffs, green tea Kit Kat chocolates, green tea flavored…
Bossy Sherilyn
Sherilyn has been trying to throw her weights around to our new temp. Cambodian maid for the past few days by being bossy and bullying her. This morning Sherilyn said this to our maid when she tried to feed her breakfast “YOU…. DON’T disturb me. You do your work. Don’t touch my spoon!” I was shocked to hear her say this…
Blogger Is Driving Me Nuts
For those of you with a blogspot blog, have you been facing problems logging in, creating posts, uploading pix, editing posts and accessing other blogspot blogs? I have been encountering this problem since yesterday morning and this is really driving me up the pole. Not that I have all the time in the world for…
Air Purifier Cum Humidifier
Last week, hubby bought the latest Sharp air purifier cum humidifier. Alycia has been having colds and throat infections too often and hopefully, with this air purifier placed in the gals’ bedroom, it will help to reduce her nose allergy and colds. This air purifier has a clean Plasmacluster ion shower mode with humidification, where it acts to remove airborne dust, pollen,…
Sulky Sherilyn
Sherilyn is still resisting our new Cambodian maid and has been refusing to be touched, fed, washed up, held or bathed by the maid. Yesterday morning when she got up from bed, I told my maid to bring Sherilyn to the toilet and to have her washed up as I was busy preparing Alycia for school. Sherilyn…
Big Apple Doughnuts
We went shopping at Mid Valley and Gardens today. When we walked across to Gardens from Mid Valley, we noticed the newly opened Big Apple doughnuts outlet. I knew hubby who’s a big time doughnut fan would surely get some and sure enough, he queued up for 15 minutes to get himself a dozen of…

My Maid Toasted My Pre-Natal Vitamins!
Yesterday, my Cambodian maid almost toasted all my pre-natal vitamins. My pre-natal vitamins are all placed in a large melamine bowl in the kitchen. When she toasted bread for breakfast, she placed the large bowl of vitamins on top of the toaster. I did not notice it until half an hour later when I popped the vitamins…
Lots Of Chocolates and Crackers
These are some of the chocolates, crackers and candies that my mil bought from Japan, New Zealand and Hong Kong. Most of these expire this year, which means that we have to quickly eat them. I don’t really fancy sweet stuff and chocolates but it’s really hard to resist when there’s so much temptation and I…
Cambodian Maid Stories Again
My Cambodian maid only speaks a smattering of English. She doesn’t know the word “squat”. Each time she brings Alycia and Sherilyn to the loo to pee when we go out, she will say this to them “sit” as she motions them to squat at the squatting toilet bowl. I have been trying hard to correct…
Deep Fried Arrow Roots
The only time we get to eat deep fried arrow root chips is during Chinese New Year. Many shops and stalls were already selling these chips one month before CNY. I l bought a bottle for RM16 last week and almost finished the entire bottle by myself, with a little help from Alycia and Sherilyn…
