A health freak mom's thoughts on health and all things healthy
When Alycia and Sherilyn were younger, my hubby and I spent a lot of money on their toys and books. I was still working then and could still splurge generously on toys for them. Most of their toys were battery-operated, which means we ended up spending more money! Normal batteries did not last long. So…
My suppliers sell all sorts of cute kids’ clothes and kids’ accessories. A supplier even sells funky wigs for kids and Cowboy Hat! These are all very slow-moving products as people would only buy such items for special occasions like for a concert or for a fancy dress party. Some of the items are never…
If only I knew that there was insurance for the unborn child, I would have bought one for Cassandra when she was still in-utero. This type of insurance covers even hereditary conditions, suffered by the child. But it’s too late, as fate had it. It’s fated that we have to dig our reserves dry to…
I hate shopping with my 2 younger girls. Whenever we go shopping, they are like 2 uncontrollable puppies running wildly everywhere at the shopping mall and that’s when I will transform into a screaming mad mother. Despite me yelling to them to STOP RUNNING and STOP CLIMBING, they will turn a deaf ear. At times…
A few months ago, my mum fell from an old plastic stool while she was trying to reach for something on top of a cupboard and hurt her tail bone badly. The decade-old plastic stool just crumbled apart when she stood on it. She was in great pain and had to sit on an inflatable…

The holidays have just started. The year end is the time where we make our yearly ‘pilgrimage’ to Penang – firstly for Baby to see the surgeon and to do a yearly ultrasound scan. Secondly, it is fun time for the girls at the hotel and beach. And thirdly, it is the time for the…
My girls have pretty long eye lashes, with Alycia having the longest and most luscious eye lashes among the three of them, thanks to her daddy’s genes. She also has 2 deep and sweet dimples on both sides of her cheeks, also thanks to her daddy’s DNA. I don’t have any of these beauty assets….
We do not. My parents do up until today and their wedding rings of over 40 years have never left their ring fingers. For us, that’s because of compelling situations that we are unable to wear our wedding bands all the time. I have tried wearing the wedding band but I ended up having peeling…
When I was about 12 years old, one of my permanent teeth was almost yanked out. Thankfully my mum knew of a very good dentist who managed to do a very tedious but successful job to salvage that tooth. I was so happy and grateful to this dentist and vowed to get myself some Dental…
