*Edited to add this is a super #throwback post which I found in my drafts haha! I think I was trying to do a post then ... well life happens. 😛 Only now during #CB then got time to slowly sit down and get my mojo back ya! So anyways! There’s a couple of stuff that I really like and can eat everyday. Japanese food and fried food (oops so unhealthy but oh well..😆) Imagine how much I love Tempura then, Japanese fried-anything! In fact my kids love tempura just as much as me! Who doesn’t like fried food?? 

Girly Dinner At Ippoh Tempura

I love chocolates but the next best thing is when I dun need to wash my own hair coz there is someone to do it for me lol. Thanks to a lovely media invite from WOM (Word of Mouth Comm), I headed down to Walking on Sunshine salon for a quick hair wash and styling with my girl friends! ❤️

Salon #legit looks very nice, with leaves 🍃and flowers aplenty. Used The Body Shop’s haircare range! Interesting... never knew they had Ginger hair care wor.

Jio-ed my girlfriends for a makan session and we had fun taking pics coz #StudioWoo (me lol) is around and then the place also so pretty so we just trigger happy with camera since film free rite. Hahaha joke joke. Imagine if it’s still film. I think I pok kai (go broke) from developing all the 200 photos from that day itself. 

I can tell you we are laughing at nothing ahhahaha 😹 #Behindthescenes 

Here you can see who are the serious ones and who are the crazy siao ding dong ~ (me mostly)

But there is this swing at the cafe, quite funny! Dun try to swing coz super off balance one! I really want to fall down and I kept screaming I cannot I cannot! Coz this Calista siao char bor keep telling me to try swing and this Jasmine can ask me to use my non-existent stomach muscles to pretend swing, but really cannot la! My butt too big!🙀

See, off balance liao!

Yea we were doing all these while waiting for Nadia’s turn to wash hair coz our appointments back to back but it was pretty fast and we had each other to talk cock... and also play with Didi, who woke up! 😻

I love him in this overalls! So cute de.

Super instagrammable cafe!

After that we all had lunch! My favorite beef bowl at OC!

Dinner! With trusty #Lilo Ikan bilis and mushroom powders. I made Honey chicken wings, salad and soup for the boys.

In my car boot! Changed my wedges for slippers, groceries, stroller and diaper bag lol. Not forgetting my huge ass water bottle - I make sure I finish my water when I’m out coz of my intermitted fasting schedule - I have to hydrate myself as much as I can. 💦

Fun day out! Missing Vanny 💔

Wore Dear Collective’s new Lola Abstract Nursing Dress! Use ELAINE8 for 8% off ❤️

🤣🤣🤣🤣

Happy Vesak Day! 

Just wanna put my latest picture to remind myself that being healthy and happy is most important. Lol. So recently especially after my holiday to Japan, I’ve been getting soooo many comments on, like if I’m expecting No3 but really, it’s A FOOD BELLY! <insert crying emoji> 😭

By far, the EASIEST thing that I’ve ever done. Not much food restriction, can drink alcohol and I get to drink all my favorite black tea and green tea (just no sugar and please no Pokka k or bubble tea yo!)

Ok back to #IF. It’s basically just a type of schedule where I stop food and alcohol intake say, 8pm and carry on til the next day. This is one of the most popular Intermitted Fasting plans aka 16/8.

I guess so much has happened since I last wrote here.
I lost my beloved mother after she fought her battle with cancer for around two years. It has been a difficult period to say the least. I was her only child and there is no one closer to me than my mother. Although we have our differences, there was no doubt that the love between us was strong. Growing up, we spent so much time together, as my dad was usually busy with work - all I had was my mother for company.
As I grew up, I fell in love, got married and had kids. My mother was a social butterfly who had no lack of friends and programs - and maybe thats where I got my extrovert nature and spontaneity. The diagnosis came as a reeling shock to all of us as she didnt have any major health problems and was going about as normal, with mahjong and shopping trips. Suddenly my life turned upside down and with a lot of prayers, tears and discussions - we tried our best to get the best treatment for my mum.
My hubby made alot of calls, we pulled strings, we spoke to our doctor friends. All I ever wanted was to fight this battle with my mother and hopefully get her to pull through this ordeal. Prognosis wasnt good, given her age, physical health and stage of the cancer. But what can we do? I could only put a brave front infront of everyone else - even though I was dying inside.
