Of Tumblers and Name Tags

I have a small obsession with water tumblers. I change my daughters’ water tumblers once every 3 months or earlier. When I see new designs of my favorite brand of water tumblers in the shopping mall, I will surely grab three new ones, one for each girl. But I hate it that my girls write their names on their new tumblers with a permanent ink marker pen. Sometimes they stick fanciful stickers on their tumblers. When the stickers get in contact with water, they will peel off partially. Gosh, how I hate to see the condition of their water tumblers, tainted with partially washed off marker ink and partially peeling stickers! I have been hunting around for some good quality name tag stickers for their tumblers, lunch boxes and books and didn’t know where to get them until my friend told me to check out QuickNameTags.com for name tags.

Gorging on Pandan Chiffon Cakes!

I am so in the mood to eat pandan chiffon cakes lately and have been submitting my chiffon cake ‘orders’ to my mil, who happily obliged.  Lucky me that I have someone staying with me who loves to bake and does not mind getting into a baking and cooking frenzy several times a week.  Ever since the pandan chiffon cake crave hit me 3 weeks ago, she had baked 5 chiffon cakes (4 pandan-coconut milk flavor and 1 orange flavor). And I have been stuffing myself fat with chiffon cakes!  It feels so good to indulge in one’s comfort food.  Eating and retail therapy are indeed the top 2 stress-busters for me!

Last week, my mil baked 2 pandan chiffon cake in a day and I ate almost 1 whole cake, all by myself! Chiffon cakes are also my kids’ favorite cake and I think homemade ones are pretty nutritious as they are made with fresh eggs, fresh coconut milk and fresh pandan juice (aka screwpine leaves). The ones that my mil baked are also low in sugar. But I think I will have to stave off cakes for the time being as my weight jumped up by a pound with all the sinful gorging on pandan chiffon cakes for the past 3 weeks! And ya know what? The durian season is here again and this spells trouble for me!! I seem to have a weakness for durians too!

Sore Thumb

My mood is foul today. Just do not feel like doing much though I have got quite a bit of work to complete, including writing a review on monroe sensa-trac shock absorber. It’s all because of a sore thumb. I have no frigging idea how I got a deep cut on my right thumb yesterday. I only realized that I had a cut on my thumb when I felt something wet and sticky on my face and mouth. Then I had the familiar bloody taste in my mouth. I looked at the kitchen top and saw blood on the table cloth. I looked at my fingers and saw blood oozing out from the right thumb and the cut is quite deep. The pain is still throbbing now and I need a band-aid to protect the wound. I have to type without using much of my right thumb, raise up that right thumb when preparing food but still have to wet it when I shower my baby girl, sigh…
