It was a lazy Sunday morning but I woke up early feeling bright and cheery. The husband and I had been ill and got no choice but to stay home over Christmas and do nothing. BORING was the word. When I felt myself in top form on the weekend, I was excited to make the […]
How time flies! It’s time to get used to changing the last digit of the year on dates again. 2013 seems to be a rather short year for me. Probably because it had been eventful so time just passed more quickly. Despite the bad times and illnesses, I am proud of myself for surviving through […]
I just wonder sometimes why I would go crazy with buffets especially when I love variety but I’m never able to eat so much at one setting compared to the husband. And my appetite seems to shrink as I grow older (another sign of aging?) but my weight remains the same (unfair!). Buffets are just […]
I used to think miso is something really unhealthy because of its high salt content so I tend to avoid drinking too much miso soup when I dine at Japanese restaurants. It was only a few months back when I came across a magazine article that really wowed me with all the benefits of eating […]

I am so hooked onto fried chicken wings. I just blogged about my latest Oven Baked Curry Chicken Wings Recipe yesterday and here I am reviewing on Korean-style fried chicken wings the next day. No doubt, chicken wings are my all time favourite to snack on. Never got enough of them since I was little! This […]
Sounds like a depressing topic for a Christmas Day post but I thought of sharing my husband’s experience when he got dengue fever recently while details are still fresh in my mind as this episode had worried both of us out because dengue fever isn’t a small problem as it can be life-threatening if it […]
Christmas is my favourite time of the year. I remembered when I was little (probably 5 years old), I found an old Christmas stocking somewhere in the house so I hung it by my bed, hoping for Santa to stop by to fill up my stocking with little surprises. I slept early, told myself not to […]
