Whenever the kids are staying the night at their grandparents’ home, Big and I will go out for one of our supper dates. I know the kids are old enough but I guess we just don’t like the idea. There was once when Big had to bring me to A&E in the middle of the night and Gean ended up sobbing on my bed because she woke up to go to the bathroom and she couldn’t find me. Yes, this girl has a very weird cute habit of checking in …

I was so inspired by Walter’s self help tips “From Excess to Austerity” that I came up with my own little guide based on our own practices-

Eating at home. From the time my girls were babies till they were old enough to eat ‘outside food’, I have been cooking for them.

This post is dedicated to my late grandmother.
I come from a pure Cantonese family where my maternal and paternal parents are Cantonese. One side of the family being Cantonese is quite enough for most but in my case, I got the double whammy.
Being Cantonese, I believe, is a whole culture in itself. The particular attention paid to our family traditions, wedding customs and cuisine, and not to mention our idiosyncrasies, make us a very unique dialect group. In this aspect, I think the Cantonese are not unlike the Peranakans - …

I was on leave today and we decided to chill at Sentosa beach and go via cable car! As usual, we are blessed with good weather whenever we go on family outings.

Boarding at Mount Faber

That’s how I feel after eating HALF a bowl of rice for dinner
