Leila Fagaly have you seen this?

Tried this keto friendly jelly Wilma Cheng recommended knowing I have sweet 🦷 (and I think she was commenting on the amt of chocs I bought before? Heehee…) I bought this in May from AmazonUS in May as I made a lot of purchases from AmazonUS again, so combined shipment. I think can get it from iHerb too. My 2ć review after trying this 7mths later

2nd Dec (Thu)

Makes 4 servings. So ehh….. I didn’t bother to portion out in cups so just dumped into this container.

3rd Dec (Fri).

Took out slightly less than a serving (cal 6, fat 0g, carbs 4g)

Too sweet! Lucky I took this small portion out. Then I looked at the remaining boxes of jellies I have. Gasp! Stevia extract! No wonder it’s so sweet + erythritol. Makes me wonder why didn’t I look at the box ystd. Hmm……doesn’t matter. I need to try right? I wont buy anymore, maybe can save the money for chocs instead 😜, more tsk tsk from Wilma dearie

While I was lim kopi n relaxing, lil’ one left this cup infront of me coz she was drinking her Caramel Machiatto from it. It’s the cup the 2 girls bought one each 2yrs ago in Seattle. For the 2 Starbucks fans, it was a must stop place. They gladly join the queue to go in, and left the shop with cups and even drinks from the very first shop. Then I thought, shouldn’t we be buying cups from all the countries n places we go? 😳 gasp! More things to collect, and to think I was always complaining on the number of cups they both have in the dry rack. I think it’s not a good idea after all😜. To be fair, I think that cheapo machine worked hard, money worth it, so I don’t regret telling lil’ one about it. She’s made so many cups of caramel macchiato already. S$8+ per cup x ynumber of times she made kopi = that amt saved from going Starbucks.

Their lunch vs mine First time cooking this for them.

For the man. Plate is too shallow already, gravy spilling over 😬

For the no-veggies and no-fruits girls. Sigh….

vs mine. I was smart to marinade my chicken like ….last week? So for days when I’m too tired to cook for self, I’ll just pop it into the oven.

My kopi o which lil’ one used the machine to make for me in the morning. I added the frothed cream

Ahh….not really a kopi fan but I think can do. otherwise I’m always stuck with black teh,chamomile tea,kombucha,unsweetened grass jelly,soda with lemon, lots of ice water.

Can’t wait to eat. 3 famished ppl after exercise #caneatacow#

Spent some time in the mall after meal. 

An expensive way to make them go class with me. Heehee....

And it was really nice to bump into Jess at the mall too. Had nice chat with her, she gave worldly advice to che-che

I’ve put off getting her a solitaire since she had her ears pierced. We didn’t hv time to look around with school n busy weekends. And after 3 jewellers, we settled for this half  solitaire with a whooping price tag.
Dad says ban her from buying anything for 1yr.
#howcomeherisbiggerthanmine#
At least I can strike off this off my to-do list. Ahe finally has her own real diamond, unlike her lil’ sister who had hers at a very young age (few months after she pierced her ear). And then she lost one side this year  n I passed her my smaller solitaire.

Then it’s to ToysRUs.

They looked at the things they used to play. Che-che always loved crafts.

They can’t play badminton coz it’s raining, so it’s Monopoly time!

3rd Dec 2019

This little puppy is showing me how she’s been sleeping for the past 2 nights in che-che’s room. Heehee!

She has definitely grown taller coz she used to curl up comfortably, that’s why I teased her being the guard dog.

这样也爽??

Footnote written in 2020 : Dog

Incidentally, this is also the time when che-che will burn her BBW candle in her room. And she was looking for this chair a day ago. She would usually sit on this chair reading and night time, her sister will go in n sleep with her.

Eh....it’s somewhere in the bomb shelter lah! Go n find, stop disturbing me!

Footnote written in 2023 : Aww..... and she can't sleep in her sister's room this year unless she wants to sleep like this in our room. Haha!

I won't smell that strong BBW fragrance.

It’s simple katsu curry (without miso soup, pickles - they don’t eat!)

But this girl had to eat with ketchup for her chix n curry on her rice!!

3rd Dec 2017

Like a pharmacist like that. Need to re-check the travel FA/Medicine Box, might as well do my biannual check on home’s medicine box earlier.

When lil’ one was little, I have to make sure I pack oral and suppository Panadol (onboard)- coz when she has fever, tends to shoot up real fast. Now I’m glad I don’t have to. When I told her about the suppository some time back. Her reaction was “you mean u stick it into my butt! How can u? It’s painful u know! (Pause) Did I cry?”

Interesting books to read.

Another strike off my "must visit before I die places" list. Yah hoo!!

每天吃这些。

我很想念我的 laksa, mee rebus, mee pok, rojak, popiah....

跟鸭讲话，不知道什么汤。服务员介绍，还特地拿过来。

不懂喝了什么... 哎不管了。挺好喝。喝了睡个觉，做梦吃 laksa

Footnote written 2021 : 吃了就算！

The crazy crowd in Fengjia, Taichung

What was I thinking? Ice-cream in the cold. Obviously my brain's frozen

3rd Dec 2010

Aricia so thick-skin to tell SA "I am pretty" when trying clothes today. Just few days ago, she shouted "I am very cute!" in the mall. Ppl turned to look at her, she shamelessness jumping around while mummy's embarassed.
