I bought some butter cakes from the supermarket yesterday, and packed some for my kids. The bentos looked rather plain, so I decided to decorate them with a bee and a butterfly, and some flowers. The decorative bits are actually: W...

I received an email to do a book review, but I guess I won’t be able to take it. I’m not sure if I have the time to read a book properly now, and I might just doze off to dreamland before I can finish a few pages. I really missed th...

I know that the news about Bangkok is very worrying. My parents called last night, when we were out for dinner with friends, and they were pretty surprised that we still go out! Actually, it’s not that bad, for most areas in Bangkok...

We have a lot of vitamins and supplements at home, but only hubby and the kids are taking them. I don’t have the discipline of taking vitamins, except during my pregnancies. I simply hate swallowing pills. On the other hand, hubby...

My SIL said that I look slimmer as comparing to 2 years ago. Frankly, I didn’t lost a pound, but in fact, I gained some weight. I haven’t done any exercise for 2 years, and I can forget about bending my back like I used to be. Yoga ...

I fixed something simple this morning. With my busy schedule, it’s hard to come out with anything fancy lately, but as long as my kids are “well fed” after school, I guess I’ve done my best. Hubby started work at his new office to...

Hubby and I have different views when it comes to house chores. I would prefer to hire a maid and let her do all the dirty jobs. But hubby doesn’t like to have a “stranger” living under the same roof. He said he would have lost hi...

I did a mouse bento previously, and I felt like fixing this theme again because it’s quick and easy. But this time, I used 2 quail eggs for a mouse, instead of one like the previous bento. Today’s bento are quite light, with only ...

Most of us who follow some Japanese bento blogs might have seen these new arrivals over the weeks, but I still can’t find any online stores that carry these products. Pic Source Pic Source Have you seen these picks at 100Yen? P...

Hubby has a cousin who died of drug abuse more than 20 years ago. He was the only son in the family, and being a typical traditional Chinese, his mother adored him more than other siblings. He got on drug due to peer pressure, and w...

My kids have enjoying their 10 weeks summer holiday now, but the bad mommy is sending them to 4 weeks of holiday camp. I can’t have the kids “disturbing” at the office because I’m pretty tied up with my new tasks. My hubby is goin...

I’m very lazy to pick up Thai. After almost 2 years here, my Thai is pretty bad, even worst than my kids. But it’s time to blush up my Thai so that I can correspond better with my staffs. I should be listening to the Thai Cds and ip...

Pregnancy weight gain can be touchy, whether you're gaining too much — or too little.

I haven’t pack buns (pao) for quite some time because my kids don’t like them anymore. Their taste buds change from time to time, so it’s best to pack their “preferred” food at the moment to avoid food wastage. I’ve always wanted ...

Jennifer Winther always wanted to give birth at home but "never ...

I will start by telling you that I have relatively no experience in th...

A friend told me that she can tell if my hubby is working away for days. I would normally pack less bentos that week, and hardly update my Facebook. She’s right, whenever hubby is away, I don’t need to pack much, and I don’t have ti...
