Ulcer.. urgh!!
Submerryn’s down and out. It started with me tending to Ethan and then got accidentally knocked on my lips by his head. The injury turned to ulcer and it became bigger and bigger with no sign of it recovering. Tried everything out there yet the ulcer shows no sign of improvement. Finally Darling got me this… Orrepaste. The cooling gel is very soothing on my lips. Crossing my fingers that this will do me some […]

Simple egg with tofu dish
My colleague taught me a simple dish the other day. She said she loves eating eggs (sunny side up) served on tofu with a dash of soya sauce (I think) over it. So I experimented with it today. I dunno if this is what she is talking about? I steamed the tofu for several minutes and discard the excess liquid. I know my colleague did not steam it as she told me to just take […]

There they were, practising… Ethan was very interested. He was shaking his bon bon to the loud music! Those girls really put their heart and soul into this. Salute!

Foot in mouth project
To put one’s foot in one’s mouth means to embarrass oneself by saying the wrong thing. But fret not as that is not the issue here today. The past few days have been very hectic, running from one place to another and come night time, classes back to back. But I like to take things positively, it’s better to be busy than being left idle and grow cobwebs around you, right? Tonight I just don’t […]

Hair Rebonding
Thought of staying home today as the jam we encountered last night was horrifying. But leg itchy and we ended up going out in the end. It was not too bad today compared to yesterday. I guess the majority of people are either at home or somewhere in the capital. I ended up in Q Salon, Kota Damansara. That is as far as we dare venture as we see traffic getting rather heavy ahead. I […]

Flying Firefly to Kuala Terengganu
When Darling first decided to go to Redang Island for our holiday, he contemplated flying either AirAsia, Berjaya or Firefly. Taking a bus to Kuala Terengganu is totally out of the question-lah for yours truly here gets travel sickness like nobody’s business. We wanted to take Berjaya so that we can skip the bus part and straight board the boat to Redang. But Berjaya was extremely expensive for our choice of dates. It was almost […]

Scuba Diving in Redang
It was Day 2 in Redang. The weather was fine and the sea was calm. Darling decided to try scuba diving.. So we took a slow walk along the bridge leading to the diving site. The diving rates. Since Darling is just ‘discovering scuba’ and will be diving with no license whatsoever, he was charged RM160 for equipment and coaching. I wanted to try too but the gas tank is very heavy hence I chickened-out […]
