Can you believe it that the third month of 2020 has already rolled in? Why does time have to zoom past so dang quickly? In 6 months, our littlest brat will be sitting for her UPSR, a government-based exam. So is Sherilyn, who will be sitting for her PT3 exam. And Alycia will be sitting for her SPM this year end! Next year, she will be going to college!  And I have to decide which high school to register Cass in. While she is steadfast that she only wants to go to her Alycia che che's high school (Independent/Private Chinese High School), I have other plans for her (which is the IGCSE path), which she is strongly protesting against. So we'll have to see her UPSR results in order for me to make the final decision.

Do you know what I miss the most throughout the Covid-19 outbreak and with no signs of dying out? I miss going to the shopping malls!!  I've not stepped foot into a mall for a month already.  I think I'm going to the shopping mall tomorrow to get my dose of retail therapy. My gynae says I must banish stress from my life. So retail therapy it is, at least twice a month! 😁

Going to crowded places these days means equipping my bag well with hand sanitizer, surgical mask and antibacterial wet wipes.  We've now stocked up on hand sanitizer enough to last us for a whole year!  Another defense weapon that I arm myself with before going to public places is I gargle my throat with a concoction of sea salt water + clove essential oil + peppermint essential oil + Melaleuca essential oil and rub my hands with hand sanitizer before leaving the house.

On our first day of March 2020, we had Japanese at Tenmaya @ The Sphere, Bangsar South.

When I first came to KL 29 years ago and first tried Japanese cuisine, I didn't like it at all. I found it strange to be eating rice with seaweed and raw fish dipped in wasabi. I hated it and wondered why KL-ites love Japanese food.  Over the years, with my Japanese cuisine loving boyfriend treating me to Japanese food regularly, I've acquired the Japanese taste bud and now love Japanese food.  If there's one place in this world that I could choose to migrate to, it would be to the Land of the Rising Sun and I would then be stuffing myself with sushi, sashimi, Chawan Mushi and shabu-shabu everyday 😁










Another medal to add to Sherilyn's collection of medals, hauled at the recent MSSKL (inter-school athletics meet, Zon Bangsar) last week 💪
