Mother-in-law’s legacy fulfilled for this CNY
Today is the 5th day of Chinese New Year and I can finally put up my legs with a relaxed mind. No more list of things to buy, things to do and time schedules plotting in my brains. I do wonder if it is worth the trouble, the cost and the works. And I think [] [[ This is a content summary only. Visit...

The internet is a bad place, just so you know
Many years back, there were blogs and only blogs. So, those of us who chose to be bloggers were responsible for inviting our blog wars. We got no one to blame but ourselves should we get negative comments or dissed by strangers. But now, Facebook and all the other social media sites have opened the...

Carrying on that mother-in-law legacy
My living room is decked with Chinese New Year decor. We have a huge big red lantern at the front door, plenty of corny greetings on the wall which I have no idea what is written there and the mandatory Chinese pussy willow with the hanging stuffs. Last year, we didnt do any Chinese New [] [[ This...

Sticking to the basics
I am not sure why but suddenly, I realise if we stick to our basics, life is pretty well chartered out. Maybe it is the homily delivered by Fr Bernard about Gods mission for us. He said something about moving but dont need to go too far. For example, he said John baptised Jesus and [] ...

That mandatory New Year’s Eve post
Initially, I didnt feel like doing the corny stuff of writing a resolution post. But upon reflecting, I think it is good to follow what my priest said in his Sunday homily. Practise the 3R recollection, review and renew. I actually need to look through my Facebook photo albums to recall what...

Christmas is coming, once again
It is that time of the year when I change my blog theme to the snowing one. Used to be crazy over all the plugins available to make my blogs much nicer. But somehow, the desire to blog is lost once Facebook comes to town. Kinda sad that this blog seems to be gathering dust. [] [[ This is a content...

Be annoying, for it is good!
I am absorbing the messages from the Pope. I find it rather nice that the Popes name is Pope Francis while our Bishop is Sebastian Francis. Both Francis. I like Francis. The Francis Assisi that I discovered when I read a book about him. The rich playboy who turned to Christ and started the Franciscan...

The longest two weeks (to GE13)
I am not sure if others feel this but these have been the longest two weeks. I cannot wait for elections to be over. I am so tired of reading political views even from the most unlikely apolitical person on my Facebook. People no longer rant about bad service at the restaurants they just went [...] [[ This...

One dark stormy night…..
..and I am happy to announce that my blog is no longer Google slapped. What is Google slapped? It is when Google took me off from their radar because I breached their policy of selling paid links. Tralalalala*innocent look* So, for the past year or so, my blog cant be found on Google. Searches...

Food postcards – Fun way with food and message
People are getting very creative nowadays. I just found out that we can use our food photos and turned them into beautiful, mouthwatering food postcards . It seems like a good idea because we can tailor postcards for the seasons. Some of the ideas include using the roast turkey from last year Thanksgiving...

Uncle Chow Kopitiam – Cameron Highlands
I find Cameron Highlands awfully chilly during my last trip. It is a wonderful feeling to be up there in the highlands, breathing out smoke as my little boy called it. We were feeling a little peckish mid morning and went hunting for Uncle Chow Kopitiam. We have seen the sign several times but...

The lure of Pangkor and its seafood
Being an islander, it is hard to impress me. I like islands in Thailand because they are rustic. However, there isnt much to see here because Langkawi is basically booze and chocolates. Perhentian and Redang getting too expensive to pay for the kampung feel. Tioman is too far away for Penangites. So,...

The foods on my table
Durian season is here and our family traditional way of enjoying these king of fruits is to eat them with hot white rice, granulated sugar and a splash of fresh coconut milk. Hubby said the durians are not that expensive this year. He bought several brands like Khun Poh, Hor lor, lipan and cheh-kark (green...

Delicious Cafe, Straits Quay Penang
I have written two bad reviews of Bella Marino and Charlie Brown cafes in Straits Quay. So, I was a little apprehensive of going to another cafe again because I do not look forward to rant about bad foods again. I had been to Delicious Cafe in KL and am glad when I heard it [] No related posts. ...

Ipoh Foh San dim sum – a victim of bad publicity?
Usually, before I go for any new eating places, I will try to check Foursquare for some comments. My Foursquare account is over here, in case you wish to add me https://foursquare.com/5xmom. On Saturday, while we were driving to Cameron Highlands, we thought of stopping in Ipoh for dim sum. I posted on my...

Malaysian advertisers requiring disclosure
Recently, local advertisers in Malaysia through the middleman ads company require bloggers like me to disclose our local advertorials. I have written many advertorials without a disclosure and most times, my blog readers do not know it is a paid post. I did not deceive them but did not exactly openly...

So the pagerank came back, huh?
I have stopped using Firefox for a long time already. I normally use Chrome or Safari. I think I have used Firefox with the annoying green juice marker for pageranks for several months. This evening, I was using another computer which has only Firefox. And I discovered the pageranks came marching home. All...
