Because We Only Have One Life

Yayy!! I finally managed to try out the famous "kek milo" (chocolate cake) that everyone has been talking about. Yes, the cake was so simple, took me less than 15 minutes to prepare it. No flour needed and you can just use the ingredients that are already available in the kitchen.I love preparing something simple like this for the kids because my boys are fussy eaters and they love to try out anything chocolatey. This is also so practical if they want to bring something different to school. Here, take a look at pics below. Not bad, huh for a starter?  *wink2* I got the recipe from Facebook (PenMerah [dot]com). The original recipe uses 3-in-1 milo packets and eggs only, but I didn't have it.  So, I made some changes here and there. Sharing this with you, guys: Milo (chocolate) powder : 25 milkspoons Milk powder: 20 milkspoons Icing sugar: 15 milkspoons Eggs: 6  Stir them all and bake the mixture in the oven (150°C,  15-20 minutes,  depends on your oven condition).

There's a famous African proverb that goes like, " It takes an entire village to raise a child "; meaning to say that, every individual in the circle of community has to play a significant role in order to ensure a good upbringing of the young generation. Then, what does it take to raise children? The answer is, I would say, a supermom, or dad (or both, perhaps?). Who is a Supermom?   1) A Supermom is Not Superhuman She is not defined by any supernatural ability. She doesn't necessarily have to conquer any villain that troubles the family, but she will definitely protect them by all means. She may not be able to fly to her kids in a blink of an eye, but she's the first reachable person who will always stand by their side. Kryptonite doesn't make her weak, but sadness and loneliness surely do. 2) A Supermom is Not Perfect She may not be perfect,  but her imperfection is what makes her strong. She hides her pain and sorrow so that she can be the backbone of t

Oh my, how I miss blogging! Is it a decade already since the last time I updated my blog? Also, did I mention that I am now officially an unemployed full-time housewife (like 2 years ago)? And, have you seen me in my new supermama look, now that I have four sons on board? Well, I got tons to write about (I may have to steal some of my sleeping minutes). Stay tune. #idonthavenicesmile #notthatoldyet

Wow, I guess 2011 will be the year that is going to be the most hectic time frame I ever had so far. Even working for more than 12 hours a day doesn't seem to be enough for me. Not to mention the extra homework I have to bring to home every week. The abundant of works sometimes even dare to 'enter' my precious hours of night dreams. Though, my biggest nightmare was to see the work that kept multiplying like some sort of viruses you see in alien movies! It made me thinking: "Can people die if they work too hard?" Yes, I was (and still) stressful! Being moody is simply a symptom, clearly it's not the solution! So, I came up with few 'formulas' on how to deal with the stress. Somehow I think they worked for me(at least for that moment! :D). So, I would like to share some with you...who knows it might be helpful for you too? ;) HOW TO COPE WITH YOUR STRESS? 1) Watch you favorite movies/ TV shows - this is my most favorite one. Even I just got back from wo

Why do we take more than a single step to go from D to E ? Here are 10 reasons why: 1) It certainly takes much more efforts to go from D ifficult to E asy. 2) There is a huge difference between a person who just being D are and another person who really makes an E ffort to do something. 3) A D efect is certainly an E ffect, but an E ffect is not necessarily a D efect. 4) Something that D iverges will take some time to E ngage. 5)When you feel D iscourage, you will need a helping hand to be E ncouraged. 6) You might D iscover something in the beginning, but later there are more things for you to E ncounter. 7) A D rifter is miles away from being E fficient. 8) There is a long way to go from D esigning to E xecuting. 9) To D ocument something is just the beginning. The next long step is to E xplore it. 10) And you'll definitely need millions of D ots to form an E laboration. Alphabetically, it only takes one step to jump from D to E . However, if you look differently, you'll see

"Don't 'you' know I hate business?" I'm currently trying to overcome a huge obstacle in my career, where I have to involve in a totally new field which I never had experience before, either literally or practically. It's quite frustrating sometimes, especially when you get criticized for a work that you've tried your best to complete it, even though you are totally clueless and unguided. Nonetheless, after shedding so much tears (just so you know, oversensitivity is one of my weaknesses), I hold the emotions firm inside, and tried to navigate my route to positive thinking. Maybe, this is a new challenge for me to improve myself. I'm too comfort now, have received some credits on the great works that I've done and maybe it's time for me to 'compete' a bit. Besides, nobody's perfect, right? ;) Thus, I redefine challenge as: C - Call H - Hope A - Attempt L - Laudable L - Lead-up E - Exposure N - Need G - Grasp E - Effort If I real
