Dumb blonde moment

dumb blonde

My life is rather a mundane routine. Every night before I go to bed, I’ll switch off the electric water dispenser and unplug it from the socket. But I ALWAYS leave the other end attached to the dispenser. When I was unwell, Darling helped me to switch off the dispenser. The next morning as usual, I pour out the cooled water and boil a fresh batch of water. I was still unwell so Darling had […]

Nuffnang turned 5 at 2am on the 27th February 2012. I signed up with Nuffnang in 2008 so basically I’ve been with Nuffnang for 4 wonderful years already. FOUR solid years and many more years to come :D I was so looking forward to attending the Nuffnang’s Birthday Bash but fell sick instead on that very day :'( Anyway, was watching this video today and YEAY, we ARE in it!

White Radish Soup Recipe

I was really knocked-out yesterday. The high fever coupled with flu and cough weakened me so much that I had to cancel my classes and just stay home to recuperate. I refused to see the doctor as I think this is just the normal fever, flu and cough. I lost my appetite and all I could think of was how nice it is to have a bowl of hot soup in front of me then. […]

No, it doesn’t work.

Sometimes we see an advert so powerful that it made you think it works.. no matter what! And then… Real life situation comes in. We go to the playground like almost everyday. Ethan loves his sand play time and I love brisk walking nearby. But one problem is, when you walk on those red soil, it tends to get into your shoes and ended up staining your socks. I have to wash it everyday but […]

Basket Bin

I do not have to worry having rubbish strewn all over my classroom. That rarely happens as the kids can’t WAIT to get rid of their rubbish. They’d sometimes deliberately LOOK for rubbish to dispose! Why? Because I have this… The kids FIGHT for a slam dunk. Now.. isn’t that a great way to keep the room clean? :D

Milk will cause bad breath?

* 48 hours sticky post. Scroll down for latest update *  I realised something in Ethan with his previous growing up milk. Each time after drinking his milk, his breath kinda stinks. Checked with his paed and was told to feed him lots of water after his feed to ‘wash’ the sweetness away. Apparently milk will cause bad breath within minutes especially if the milk is too sweet. I actually Googled to see what causes bad breath […]

Making your own bread crumbs

I’m a bread person. I eat bread in the morning. I eat bread in the afternoon. I eat bread in the evening. I eat bread at night. Okay, maybe that’s a little exaggerating. I don’t eat bread in the afternoon unless I’m out then Tuna Sandwich will be my lunch. Anyway, you can imagine the amount of bread I have at home. We always have left-overs. So what do I do with them? Turn them […]

Space Art

Ethan loves the outer space. He found this picture online the other day. He loves it so much that he printed it out. Since he loves it very much I thought of converting it into a piece of art. We managed to make the above inspired by the picture that he printed out earlier. What I did was to cut the shapes of planets, meteorite and more out of cardboard. We brought those to the […]

Blogger’s New Word Verification Look

Just like majority of other bloggers out there, one of my routine is to hop into other blogger’s blog, read and leave comments. Yeah, I know many out there who skipped the reading part and goes straight to comment just to leave their footprint. It is obvious in food post where we painstakingly wrote about how bad the food was even though they looked good in pictures and you see comments such as, “DELISH! MUST […]

Anmum Club Facebook Page

Isenbin Authentic Taiwanese Handmade Desserts

There’s a relatively new Taiwanese Dessert House in SS2 called Isenbin. Being a loyal Snowflake fan, I cringe at every new Taiwanese Dessert House that mushroom-ed in town. My reaction would be, “Another ONE?!” Honestly I wasn’t aware of Isenbin for I have not been to SS2 for quite some time. Jenn proposed the idea of giving Isenbin a try and being hot and hungry today, we totally agreed. So there we were, a dozen […]

Candylicious Is Evil

The first time I set foot in Candylicious was in Singapore years ago. I love their get-up as they are so cutely decorated. Everything in it looks so sweetly done! Not too long ago, Candylicious landed in my second home, 1 Utama. It has been a while but I’ve never stepped foot in it. Why should I for all they sell are tooth-decaying products. They even sell soft sweets in the shape of DENTURES! What […]

Making the switch

*48 hours sticky post. Scroll down for new entry* FREE is such a powerful word. To us moms, the word FREE will definitely trigger some sort of response in us. Show us FREE SUGAR and we’ll rush like crazy as that means somebody out there is distributing COMPLIMENTARY sugar! But I’m keener on the words SUGAR FREE.  And that means NO ADDED SUGARS. Give me all the FREE SUGAR in the world but I DON’T […]

MOUSE the CAT

The first question that came to mind when we first learnt that my nieces has adopted a cat and name it Mouse, we wondered, “Who the heck would call their cat MOUSE?” But then my niece told us that the cat’s name is Myles not Mouse! :P I first blogged about Myles here. Just look at how he drinks his milk. The cat can hold his own bottle yo! Now Myles is much bigger. Almost […]

Darling’s a hopeless ROMANTIC!

I read FB updates everyday and Tweets occasionally. I see couples exchanging lovey dovey updates or tweets all the time. Darling and I are nothing like that. Though I call him Darling and he calls me Sayang, that’s about it. You won’t see any PDA from us in public and the worst comment that we’ve received is from a stranger who thought that Darling and I are siblings! >_< Today, I found out that the […]

Volkswagen Polo GTI

Volkswagen. I’ll always remember them for ignoring Darling and I. When we were thinking of replacing our V6, we had this interest on VW Passat CC hence we went to their showroom to have a look. After speaking to the sales person, we requested for a test drive. Guess what? He told us that he’ll call us back. Great! That is as good as telling an upfront NO to us. True enough, a week gone by without […]
