They have been diligently practising the Sports Day dance and running events for many months. While today is the day that they looked…
My Friday – 26 June 2015
Hubs and I had brunch together at a newly opened cafe in the neighborhood when the girls were in school today. I actually had my brekkie of homemade muesli and sprouted wheat bread at 8:30am after my 1-hour daily exercise regimen. Since he invited me out for brunch, I thought, why not… though I was…

Our wholesome, hearty and healthy dinner last night… Black rice (mixed with a handful of low GI Basmati rice), sauteed leek flower with garlic, pan-fried salmon fish and Sanbeiji chicken fillet (3-Cup Chicken) (cooked with ginger, wine, sesame oil, garlic and basil leaves). Check out the beautiful purplish, blackish hue of the black rice –…
Oxidative Stress
Our body is made up of cells. Our cells have DNA within the nucleus that is bound by Hydrogen bonds. Can you see how relevant Hydrogen is to our cells? There was a customer who drank hydrogen water and had her defected gene mutated. The act of breathing produces free radicals, just like a car…
Conversation On Bang Bang Over Dinner
At the dining table over dinner today, the song “Bang Bang” by Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj was played on the radio. The girls sang along as they ate dinner. Alycia – mummy, do you know what “bang bang” means actually? Me (acting dumb) – yeah… bang bang with a gun like this…

Get Cash Back With ShopBack
Everyone loves getting a portion of their cash back after spending it to buy stuff. I am a sucker for cash back rewards! They are savings alright! So naturally, when I heard that ShopBack Malaysia has a cash back scheme where cash will be credited back to my bank account after I’ve shopped at their…
Update On Cassandra’s Road To Recovery From Incontinence
It’s been 2 1/2 months since Cass started consuming Izumio hydrogen water to treat her incontinence and I am still very pleased with the results. Cass has reduced the usage of diapers by more than half since she consumed Izumio. She only wears them when she is in school, when we are out for long…
Looking At Life Through Rose-Tinted Glasses
While in Ipoh last weekend, the girls and I, along with my dad had a long walk around the neighborhood in the evening. We stopped outside a few houses to play with and pat other people’s dogs 
This is something that we don’t always do in KL. The girls’ schedules are pretty much filled…
What’s For Dinner Tonight?
Guess what we had for dinner tonight? It’s a homey dinner but the price is that of a fine dine dinner at a 5-star restaurant. Yes beef steak… but not the regular beef. Look carefully at the marbled appearance… It’s Kobe beef, all the way from Hong Kong! The MIL hand carried the Kobe beef…
Happy 2015 Mid Year Everyone!

For the past one month, there is something different about the KL Tower. First, it was illuminated in neon green for several days. Then,…
