Doing Revision With Alycia… Part II

Posted on October 31, 2008October 31, 2008 by Shireen

Coaching Alycia in her homework and doing revision with her require tons of patience. Each time I sit with her over her homework or revision, I would try really hard not to loose my cool and blow my stack at her coz I am an extremely impatient person. Being too pushy and hard on her…

I Will Tell Daddy….

Posted on October 31, 2008October 31, 2008 by Shireen

My hubby has a tendency to spoil the girls rotten. His daughters’ wishes are always his command and he hardly ever says ‘no’ to them. He is a yes-man when it comes to his 3 princesses. Oh, how I wish he too is a yes-man to me…. but dream on! Anyway, Alycia and Sher have…

Second Car Would Have To Come Later

Posted on October 31, 2008 by Shireen

My wish of owning a car next year would have to be mothballed until the world economic crisis is over. With such gloomy news on the world economy, the hubs just isn’t bold enough to make another big commitment. Every morning as I flip through the newspapers during breakfast, every page on the business section…

Doing Revision With Alycia

Posted on October 30, 2008October 30, 2008 by Shireen

I have been doing revision with Alycia since Friday last week to prepare her for her pre-school exam for 5 year olds this week. It ain’t easy coaching her as her mind tends to wander off somewhere else except to her books…..to the TV, to food or to the bed! Sherilyn my brat would also…

What’s Your Plan For New Year’s Eve This Year?

Posted on October 30, 2008 by Shireen

I remember very vividly our new year’s eve last year. It was one of my best. I was 6 months pregnant with Baby C then and our whole family (the hubs, Alycia, Sherilyn and my former maid) checked into a hotel in the heart of KL city. We took a monorail train ride to the…

When All Else Fails To Wake Her Up….

Posted on October 29, 2008October 29, 2008 by Shireen

Whenever I have problems waking Alycia up from her sleep in the morning or in the afternoon from her nap, I don’t have to drag her up or use threats or bribes anymore. I used to have a real hard time getting Alycia to wake up on some days but not anymore now. All I…

Get Free Images For Your Blog

Posted on October 29, 2008October 30, 2008 by Shireen

It’s mind-boggling to think how some bloggers can maintain dozens of blogs. Samm, I really don’t know how you manage to maintain close to a hundred blogs, handle your 2 kids with no maid helping you. Even with 3 blogs, I am cracking my brain for ideas, dying for a gush of brainwave on what to…

My Little Helpers

Posted on October 28, 2008October 28, 2008 by Shireen

There are 9 mattresses currently in use in our house, which includes 2 baby cribs, 1 playpen, 4 single mattresses, 1 queen-sized mattress and 1 king-size mattress. Though there aren’t that many people living in our house, there are many rooms in our house and my 2 brats has the option to choose where they want to sleep every night. Sometimes they sleep…

Baby C Can Stand… And Loves Freefalling Too!

Posted on October 27, 2008 by Shireen

My little samseng managed to pull herself up by holding on to the crib railing to a standing position for the past one week. 3 days ago, she discovered the adrenalin rush when she let go of both her hands and freefall onto the mattress, landing on her back… and instead of crying, she giggled…

When You Have A Baby, You Never Enjoy Your Meals Anymore

Posted on October 26, 2008October 26, 2008 by Shireen

That was my breakfast yesterday – black sesame bread spread on a slice of multigrain bread, cut into easy-to-bite sizes so that I can put them into my mouth with a fork. When Baby C is crabby and fussy and does not want to be placed in her playpen a.k.a. her cage, I will have…

Our Saturday

Posted on October 25, 2008 by Shireen

We had all-you-can-eat dim sum for lunch at the Chinese restaurant at Sunway Lagoon Hotel today. There is a promotion on-going now where HSBC credit card holders are entitled to a 50% discount off the total bill. The lunch cost around RM56 per pax and half price for kids aged 4-12 yo. Apart from the…

Baby C Exercising On My Fitball

Posted on October 24, 2008October 25, 2008 by Shireen

That’s me doing some physical stimulation exercises with Baby C on my fitball. I started this exercise with her 2 days ago. The first time I placed her on the ball, held her legs and moved her backwards, she cried a little. I then carried her up and gave her a big hug and comforted…

My Self-Defense Gadget

Posted on October 23, 2008 by Shireen

Many of my friends will express their concern whenever I tell them that I go for my daily morning run between 7am-7:30am each day. I used to run even earlier when I was still employed. I would start running at 6am each day for half an hour, rushed home for a bath, got myself ready…

Baby C Trying To Do Somersaults… And Sherilyn Can Fix A Jigsaw Puzzle

Posted on October 23, 2008October 23, 2008 by Shireen

My samseng Baby C loves attempting to do somersaults whenever she’s placed in her crib or on her cheh cheh’s queen sized mattress. Here are some of her stunts (it wasn’t easy to snap these 2 stunts and I’d taken more than 10 snapshots before I finally captured her in action) : I’m almost rolling forward mummy, I…

Who Rules The TV And Astro Remote Control?

Posted on October 23, 2008 by Shireen

When your kids fight with you over the TV and Astro remote control, who win? In my case, my kids normally win. They rule when it comes to deciding which channel to watch and I let it be as I have many other better things to do than to sit and watch TV. I wish…

2 Square Meals Of Bread Today

Posted on October 22, 2008October 23, 2008 by Shireen

I am a bread lover. I can eat bread everyday yet hardly get fed-up of em. I’m talking about wholewheat and multi-grain and seeds bread. Though I love white bread, I hardly eat them as they are fattening and not that healthy. That’s what I had for breakfast today : 2 slices of toasted Adventist sprouted wheat bread…
