FollowOccasionally the weather keeps you stuck inside. For those days when it’s raining but you don’t want to read a book or binge on Netflix, consider a fun DIY or craft project to keep you busy. Most can be done with things you already have around the house. If you find yourself running low on…

Busy Week
The entire last week was a busy week for everyone ~ hubs with his back-to-back catering events, Alycia with tests every other day in preparation for the PT3 and UEC exams in 2 months in addition to PT3 History and Geography projects, Drama Queen with homework, tuition and church activity, Cass with exam revision and…
Vegetable Paint Stamping
One of Cass’ Art projects in school last week was vegetable paint stamping. Being an arty type, she was excited naturally. I remember that this activity was one of my favorite when I was Cass’ age and I never got tired of it. Mum who was a teacher, would show my brothers and I how…
Home-made Meat Patties / Burger
Since it was a public holiday yesterday, I decided to embark on a little project that’s been long sitting in my bucket list ~ making burgers. The girls LOVE burgers ~ Burger King and Mac Donalds especially but this is an occasional holiday food. We only eat burgers when we travel back to Ipoh by…
Scott’s Champions Children’s Curiosity Through Learning Experience at KidZania Kuala Lumpur

Read on… As part of their ongoing ‘Bright Little Explorers’ programme, Scott’s is championing curiosity by giving kids a chance to experience grown-up jobs for a…
DIY Art Glass Paperweight
The hubs brought back a transparent rectangular shaped water bottle that a friend gave to him. While I really like the shape of the bottle, which is pretty unique for a water tumbler, it is not practical to use it on a daily basis as cleaning it is a torture. Note the small opening and…
Cute Hand-Crafted Key Chains
Despite having to sit for an exam in a few days’ time, Cass still prefers to indulge in craft vs. poring over her school books. Several days ago, despite having a stack of homework and test papers to do, she pushed them aside. Instead, she crafted a homemade gift from scraps – a mineral water…
Weekend Getaway In A Jungle
In under an hour’s time, we will be off to Ratu Rening (near Genting Highlands / Batang Kali) for a weekend getaway with our usual group of buddies and their kiddos. Hubs and I have been friends with these group of friends since we were teenagers. Our girls and their kids have been friends since…
School Holiday Activities
Since yesterday, Cass has been spending hours on end learning how to sew. I have been too busy to teach her sewing and grandma isn’t feeling well. But so determined is this little fella to learn how to sew that she asked her grandma for old cloth scraps and rummaged through her drawers to hunt…
Holiday Activity – Cookie Baking
This idea was entirely Drama Queen’s. And I entrusted her with the entire task as I knew she could handle it pretty well. Except for helping her with the oven and checking on the doneness of the cookies, Drama Queen enlisted the help of her 2 side-kicks on this holiday cookie baking project today. She…
Hari Raya Holiday 2016 – Day 2
School Holiday – Day 6
Yesterday was a maid-less day yet we did quite a bit at home. Since it’s a school holiday and I have been getting sufficient sleep, I had the energy to clean up and wash up after cooking breakfast and dinner. After a day’s outing, we got home and the girls spent the entire evening helping…
Secret Garden Adult Coloring Books Craze
As we bid bye-bye to Rainbow Loom and welcome Secret Garden into our daily lives, I can’t help but wonder how long the Secret Garden adult coloring book bubble will last before it bursts! My girls were crazy over Rainbow Loom for slightly less than a year. I don’t know what to do with their…
Molding and Sculpting With Blue Tac
The hubs is hooked on blue tac sculpting! Since Saturday through today, he has been molding fruits, pastries, flowers and cartoon characters out of blue tac whenever he had the time. And Cass is the happiest kid in town to have daddy playing blue tac with her! 
Check out what he churned out from…
Indoor School Holiday Activity In Ipoh
Alycia who loves reading the newspapers (and just about any reading material, EXCEPT her school books!) found an interesting word search game (Wonderword) from The New Straits Times papers today. In KL I only buy Star newspapers but in Ipoh my parents subscribe to both NST and Star. Alycia then challenged Sherilyn to compete with…
Activities In Ipoh
Today, the girls helped my mum in the kitchen. They helped to chop onions for the sardines filling for the sandwiches, mashed the sardines and eggs and buttered the bread before the sandwiches were put into the sandwich maker. Later, they helped granny to make ang koo kuih. As I am typing this post,…
