One of the most revolutionary devices that has been created in the 20th century is high-resolution ultrasound. Many have been successfully diagnosed and treated for different injuries and…
Sherilyn had a one-day break from school on Tuesday as it was the resitting day of the UPSR Math and Science test papers for Primary 6 students. Since she had finished her homework, I got her around to help me to grate cheese. Of the 3 girls, Sherilyn loves cooking the most. For someone who…
The other day, at a friend’s house, she showed me a bottle of honey that she had been keeping for 20 years! Though the color of the honey has turned into dark brown, nonetheless it has not crystalized yet. Just before she left for overseas, she gave us the bottle of honey. One of our…
Recently, my girls were down with a bout of cough, mild running nose and a phlegmy throat. When my eldest girl coughed, the phlegm in her throat made her cough sound pretty bad. Someone close to the girls passed a remark as to why I am reluctant to bring them to see the doctor to…
I am quite a coffee addict. I need it to kick-start my day. But I am not persnickety though. I do not need gourmet coffee or boutique coffee. I can’t really tell the difference anyway 😉 Nescafe is enough to satiate my addiction of the day. I am el-cheapo when it comes to food. I…

This is probably a controversial issue. I used to love eating deep fried super crispy salmon skin. That’s until I read that salmon, and all big fish from deep seas are probably tainted with mercury. I discourage my kids from eating fish skin but sometimes I get lambasted for doing so! Oh well, it’s better…
The other day, my friends and I were discussing about boops and how being a mother and breastfeeding our babies have changed the size and appearance of our breasts. I used to have pretty ‘full’ boops before marriage. After I had Alycia, the boops were even fuller *GRIN* Then came Sherilyn. After breastfeeding her for…
Cass loves to eat bread and her favorite is white bread from the 2 leading bread manufacturers in our country. She eats bread everyday. On days that we run out of the mil’s homemade bread, I will buy brand G or M bread from the supermarket. The other day, one of my friends shared in…
There is this 4YO girl in Cass’ kindy who would cry in school every other day. She would cry when her mother or father drops her in school and refuses to let her bring the iPad into the school. If she is refused of bringing the iPad into the school, she would wail for hours…
