FollowBarely 24 hours after Christmas day and our neighborhood supermarket has already started to change decor and food stuff on their shelves today! The faster they change, the faster the kaching comes in! 
I’ll wager that by tomorrow, CNY songs will be blasting away. Oh no CNY is less than a month away! I don’t…

Winter Solstice & Eve of Christmas Eve 2019 (21 & 22 December 2019)
My big brother Raymond from Singapore always tries to make a trip back to either Ipoh or KL to celebrate his birthday with our family. His birthday falls on 22 December, which is Winter Solstice festival. This year the celebration was held in KL. Despite an unfortunate car accident that happened on his way to…
Reunited Again
Jenn (pic below – long blond hair in black shirt), my childhood friend from Ipoh since kindergarten came back from Seattle for a holiday and we had a short meetup over lunch on Monday. The last time we met up was in October last year. The four of us pictured here have been friends since…
Dental Braces
Today is dental appointment day for all 3 girls. Alycia’s due for her monthly change of braces wire and I took the other 2 girls to have their teeth checked. Sherilyn has opted to wear braces to fix several flaws on her teeth. She will require extraction of 4 of her molar (just like Alycia) after…
Best in the World Cream Puffs and Chocolate Eclairs
Our baking queen went on a sudden baking frenzy again. Just because her dad brought us to Lee’s Frozen to stock up on butter, UHT milk and whipping cream, her hands were itching to whip up a new recipe. And this is by far the yummiest bakes that she’d produced. Everyone including her very critical…
The Yummiest of 2 Worlds ~ Crème De La Crème’s Artisanal Ice Cream & The Tokyo Restaurant’s Burnt Cheesecake
On my eldest daughter, Alycia’s sweet 16th birthday on 5 December 2019, I took her and her sisters to The Tokyo Restaurant (TTR) @ Lot 10 to sample the launch of something incredibly yummy – the marriage of Crème De La Crème’s artisanal, beautifully-crafted ice creams with TTR’s famed 6th Avenue Cheesecake (burnt cheesecake). This marriage…
Kak Jat Ikan Bakar @ Jalan Bellamy and Vintage 1988
I was itching to taste some Malay food today and hubs brought us to one Kak Jat Ikan Bakar on Jalan Bellamy. There are a few stalls on this road selling the same dishes and specializing in grilled fish. As far as choice of fish goes, you get pari (stingray), kembung, terubok, tilapia, and more. There’re…
Asia Junior Got Talent Finals, 1 December 2019
The Asia Junior Got Talent Finals held on Sunday, 1 December 2019 at the National Film Development Corporation Malaysia (FINAS) saw 48 extremely talented finalists competing to vie for the first prize of USD1,000. Some of the talents are from China, Norway, Indonesia and Thailand. Competition was so stiff that I really didn’t think that…
She Still Cares :)
Where To Buy Cheap Bridesmaids Dresses
Shopping for gowns and bridesmaid dresses was hardly my interest (though I’m a self professed shopping queen) until last year when I had 4 weddings to attend. And we have another wedding coming up on the first day of 2020. I started to hunt for cheap gowns last year and it dawned on me that…
She’s Wearing A Dress :)
When Alycia was about 10 years old, she told me that she doesn’t like dresses and will never wear a dress or skirt anymore. I really don’t know why both she and Cass suddenly hated to don on anything feminine when they reached their double digit birthdays. But both the girls started to wear dresses…
The Shopping Continues
The search for a dinner and church wedding dress for the girls continued yesterday. That’s Part 3 and it’s more or less settled for Alycia, though I’m still not 100% satisfied with the black cold shoulder dress that I got for her last week. Yesterday Alycia went out shopping for gowns with her grand aunt…
Home-cooked Meals By Sherilyn
I was feeling a little under the weather yesterday; was feeling that a cold and sore throat were about to attack me but I think my defense system is fighting those bugs very well. I’m feeling better now. I had the usual headache, bodyache and slight chills throughout the day. The mil had gone to…
Hump Day Shopping Frenzy, 20 Nov 2019
The search for a dinner dress and church wedding dress for the girls for the wedding of hubby’s cousin on 1.1.2020 continues today. We spent a total of 4 hours walking non-stop, hunting for dinner dresses and shoes. I walked over 7k steps just at the mall. And another 7k during my morning exercise. Feeling…
Dancing Queen
So my dancing queen resumed her contemporary dance classes on Tuesday at another dance studio on Tuesday. This studio is not new to her but the dance instructor is. Sherilyn used to attend ballet classes at this dance studio when she was 4 – 7 years old. On the same night of her first dancing class,…
Choose One
Hubs gave Sherilyn a choice – choose either dancing or martial arts. Currently, she’s spending quite a bit of time doing both. And she’s not content with just attending classes. She’s got an unquencable thirst for competitions, especially dancing. Her martial arts master is also persuading her to compete in sparring and Pompsae. For martial…
