FollowThis morning the water did not come back at 6am as promised. Not a trickle of water from our tap and I was fuming mad! The stored water from one bathroom was finished off really quickly. A lot of water was needed to flush toilets. The girls were fighting to use the other bathroom which…

Crazy Hazy Waterless Day
Today has been a day filled with various obstacles for me. First, we are affected by the 2.5-day water cut in certain areas in KL caused by an inlet valve replacement at one of the major water tanks in KL. Living in a condo, we have always been spared from the brunt of water rationing…

Precious Bonding Moments
Precious bonding moments pictures of the girls with my parents and younger brother during my mum’s 69th birthday celebration in KL last week (18 – 20 September 2015)… The girls played Monopoly with their koong koong for 3 hours on Sunday! 2 hours in the afternoon and 1 hour after we came back from dinner.…
Mum’s Birthday Celebration At Hiong Kong Restaurant, Pudu Plaza
It would take other people three to four weeks’ advance booking to secure a table on a weekend and the order had to be placed at least three days prior to the actual meal, specifying the dishes and number of diners, so that the chef could shop accordingly. But for the hubs, he booked a…
Our Malaysia Day Holiday – 16 September 2015
On Wednesday, which was Malaysia Day holiday, we stayed put in our neighborhood. Everyone was wary of the shirt rally in the heart of KL and avoided going downtown. After brekkie at the coffee shop, hubs suggested massage at our regular massage and reflexology center…. again! The lady boss, who is a Chinese national acceded…
Still Hazy – 17 September 2015
This morning, I had to skip swimming and brisk-walking outside as it was drizzling plus the air was just so so so choking bad!! The moment I woke up and opened the sliding door, I could smell smog! The picture below was taken at about 7am. The dust monitor on our Sharp air purifier showed…
Our Tuesday – 15 September 2015
Today is an emergency government declared holiday for schools in several states in Malaysia, caused by the haze. Coincidentally, it is also the girls’ school anniversary holiday today. When we went to the coffee shop for breakfast this morning, we saw many kids still in their uniform having brekkie. Their parents were obviously not aware…
My First Diamond Coral Gold Water Filter

Our Saturday – 13 Sept 2015
It’s the first Saturday post UPSR exam. Alycia finally gets to join us for breakfast and then grocery shopping. For the past 9 months, her Saturdays were spent in school from 7am till 3pm. Life was grueling for these 11-12 year olds. They were drilled to score straight As. I don’t like this kind of…
Cocky Maid
Crap of the day from the drama queen part-time maid today… She called me this morning to inform me that she would like to start work again. I told her that I have already found a new part-time maid. Nonetheless, I will still be calling her whenever the new part-time maid takes leave. I then…

Staying Healthy During The Haze
The haze situation over here in the Klang Valley ain’t getting any better, despite there being a brief heavy shower yesterday. The smell of smog can be smelled from inside our house for the past one week. I wonder when this yearly menace will ever stop. This year the haze came late. Normally, the yearly…
