FollowToday has been a very busy and hectic day for me. I have been busy the whole morning with customers’ orders, had to finish off some house chores and pack our bags before we leave (in an hour’s time) to a hotel to count-down to the new year with our group of friends. This is…

Eventful Night At Marina Bay Sands, Singapore (15 December 2013)
On our second night in Singapore, we went to the world-famous Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort to check out the spectacular night view of the structure as well as to watch the breath-taking multimedia laser show (Wonder Full light and water show). The spectators had to be seated at the door steps, facing the waterfront.…
Evening Activities In Ipoh – 22 December 2013
This is where the girls would normally play in the evening when we are back at my parents in Ipoh. There is this Siamese temple sitting in front of a limestone cave with scenic view, located just a minute’s walk from my parents’ house. There are steep steps leading to the top of the temple.…
Little Kitchen Helpers
The girls helping koong koong and granny in the kitchen yesterday, in preparation for our Dongzhi festival dinner at home in Ipoh… The girls helped to scrape arrowroot skin and to remove peanut skin. While they were helping, granny fed them with papaya haha! I have made it compulsory for the girls to eat fruits…

Singapore Trip (14 – 16 December 2013)
Our trip to Singapore was by far the best ever holiday for the kids. There were many firsts for the kids — first time to Singapore, first time on a privately chartered boat, first time having BBQ on a boat, first time really swimming in the sea and playing games with a group of friends…
So Much To Do
Tomorrow is our trip to Singapore and I have not started to pack. The thought of packing for 3 kiddos plus myself and the long list of items to bring along scares me! On my living room floor is my newly arrived stock – clothes, clothes everywhere. I am supposed to send out my customers’…
The Lollipop Bribery
Yesterday, our dearest long-time friend – K and her boyfriend brought Alycia and Sherilyn to watch Frozen at Mid Valley Megamall. After lunch at Little Penang Cafe, while the four of them spent 2 hours at the cinema, Cass and I had our one-to-one time together. From a far, Cass spotted a carousel and bugged…

Oven-Baked Kentucky Fried Chicken Sandwich
Since I had a surplus of 2 pieces of KFC from Saturday’s lunch, I made oven-baked KFC sandwich today. Despite me giving specific instructions to the KFC customer service staff on the phone that I only wanted drumsticks and ribs, I was still given about 3 pieces of breast meat! And this is not the…

In the morning, BY – Sherilyn’s BFF since pre-school came to our house to have a pre-party girly preparation. BY helped Sherilyn paint her finger nails and choose her clothes for a ‘fashion show’…
Bak Kut Teh For Dinner
Bak Kut Teh is one of the easiest and fastest one-pot meal to dish up for your family. When I am feeling a tad lazy to cook dinner, I will prepare Bak Kut Teh. I will throw in some hard boiled eggs, fresh Enoki mushrooms, dried Shitake mushrooms, garlic, fried soy bean sheet (foo choke)…
Alycia’s 10th Birthday
Yesterday was my ‘precious baby’s’ 10th birthday. In the morning, I wanted to pen down a short post in each of my blogs to commemorate the happiest day of my life 10 years ago. But too many things cropped up. I had some crappy moments with my supplier, with some customers and with WORK. I…
Oven Grilled Pork Chop
Here is another sweat-free and oil splatter-free delish meat dish that I prepared for dinner yesterday. I never knew that my oven can do so much to help me with cooking so many mess-free delish meals for my kids. My oven-grilled pork chop tasted very much like ‘char siew’ as I added agave nectar which…
The Leery Cleaner Is Finally Out Of Our Condo!
I sent in my official complaint letter to the condo Management Office early today. I was told by the office administrator that the cleaning company has stopped sending the said leery cleaner to our condo effective today. I felt such a relief when I heard that. According to the office administrator, this cleaner had always…
I Thought I Was Going To Be Finished!
This morning I went to the gym a tad late. After working out in the gym, which was about 8:45am, I swiped my access card to enter the lift area. The lift opened and then TING, it stopped on the first floor. And then… my nightmare began. A Bangla worker stepped into the lift. This…
