9 Feb 2010A chilled glass of Soya Bean Milk is simply heavenly on a warm day, or whenever. Don’t you agree? That’s exactly what I’ve been having almost daily for the past 2 months. Whenever possible, we would buy a large bottle and that could last us for a day or 2.

8 Feb 2010These may not be Glass Slippers
But they could well be since I can’t fit them no more

3 Feb 2010Unfortunately, I suspect that’s exactly what you’ll be calling me because I will simply become one. Though I don’t mind being called Phat Mama, but reality is often bitterly cold *humph*

Besides having a gastronomical fulfillment yesterday morning, we attended the 1st session of Parentcraft at Gleneagles in the afternoon. I don’t want to be too quick to judge, but that session was a big disappointment.
The session was divided into 4 parts, with a 20 minute tea break in between. Don’t be surprised when you’re made [...]

15 Dec 2009Literally, I am boiling at times especially my palms. I hadn’t measure my current increased body temperature, but if I did, I would probably be having a fever *sizzles*

17 Nov 2009Last Friday I thought we struck Gold when we bought the Medela Harmony at Fabulous Mom’s Relocation Sale. They made an error of the sale price on their website — instead of RM228.65, it was going for RM211.65. So we saved an extra RM17 and that was indeed a steal deal! *squeal*
Unfortunately, it was no [...]
