I am so into outdoor activities too AND outdoor activities are perfect for our little one to channel his endless energy into. I guess boys will be boys. They are tireless little people, until they go to sleep.So yeah, a

National Family Celebrations 2010

2010-05-20T10:08:00.009+08:00

I pledge to bake for my family on weekends.The way to a family’s heart is through the stomach. One of the many ways, may I add.That’s my mantra in life and I used to bake a lot, before my trusty oven breathe its last. So the story goes like this: She has been ignored for a while, too long a while that she just ‘burst’ when I finally decided to acknowledge her existence yet again. By ‘burst’, I

pancakes

2009-12-11T15:43:00.004+08:00

When i was in P6, i used to have a friend who came by my place quite frequently and we’ll make pancakes together. She taught me how to make pancakes with lotsa dumex milk powder (dumex was the milk i drank then), and I luv the pancakes to bits. I said ‘used to have’ cos’ i’ve since lost touch with her, such a shame.Anyways, i decided to rekindle my luv for pancakes recently, thinking more of the

To help the little one with his colors, I had some fun myself, by coloring the drawing papers with the same colors of the vehicles that he so loves. Could easily get colored construction papers but naaah...coloring is fun, for the ibu too!The coloured papers are assuming the roles of parking lots, so each time he has to park his vehicles i.e. clean up, the vehicles have to go to the same-coloured

I wanted to stamp my foot and roar with laughter at some points, but I couldn't, because I am always in a sardine-packed train and had to watch myself.as much as i wanted to keep it down, the shoulders managed some rocking, a little to and fro, and I

2009-10-24T22:19:00.006+08:00

my 4year old plus plus turbo brand convectional oven has passed on more than a month ago. I had wanted to revive our once chummy relationship but it just blew on me. She was fuming at me for abandoning her for some time that all she responded when i switched her on was smoke and more smoke. The whole house was short circuited too.and now, it's time to search for a new oven. 1 of the must-have

2009-10-17T21:33:00.003+08:00

I picked up a copy of wondertime from target while at gold coast, just before paying for my purchases and I am glad I did.1 of the articles discusses about mummies responses on the occasional perk-me-up treats they needed to rejuvenate themselves. From the survey, what most mummies needed are really simple treats like a cup of hot chocolate, a good book, a good magazine, just to name a few, to

2009-08-25T15:32:00.005+08:00

We're into our 4th day in the blessed month of ramadhan. :) Just a short note that for sahur, my menu will be a bowl of quaker oats, 7 dates, a mug of hot milo and lots and lots of water. This menu will sustain me throughout the day till it's time to break the fast. To add, slow digesting carbs/complex carbs are the best choice as they take longer to digest, making one less hungry during the day.

home-made burger patties

2009-07-10T11:21:00.012+08:00

i've been reading raving reviews on jamie oliver's home-made burger patties and was excited to try it myself. i managed to eventually. The husband took 1 bite and he said,"mmm.sedap!". That was definitely encouraging cos' his usual response when i asked for food reviews would be,"ok la. ok." He has always loved burgers so maybe he's biased, which means anything burger will receive the review, "

this morning, as i was getting ready to go to work, i actually hummed,"back to life. back to reality," unconsciously.the husband said, "eh sukernyer."But huh? What an irony. It's back to life, back to reality! Bukannyer suker. after the long holiday and the slacking days of last week, it's time to warm up the engine again. It's back to l.i.f.e.

We had wanted to watch the victorious penalty shootout game at the national stadium yesterday, thinking we would still be able to get the tickets at the very last minute, so who would have thought it was sold out so fast! But no surprise actually. We had to be contented with watching from the comfort of our own home with very good company too, screaming with delight over the win. Woooohooooooooo!

Is it time to talk about resolutions since 2007 is just around the corner? But first, what was my resolution for 2006? To drive.But did I eventually get behind the wheels in spite of having the licence for 3 and 1/2 years already? No, I did not. Hopeless me, I know. To quote the husband, "What's the point of passing on the first try but you don't take to the wheels after that? Those who passed on

Euphoria..The husband has returned home safely but not without an Amazing Race episode! Poor husband! He had to go through 5 airports altogether instead of 4 with an additional transit at Seattle...Gosh! It was a race alright for him and just him alone, else he'd have to spend a night at Narita airport before he could head back home, which means his homecoming would have been delayed by a day too
