It has been a stressful and painful day for Baby C and me today. We were at the hospital from 9am – 3pm today and baby bawled and screamed the whole day today, in pain, trauma and fear. But the moment we were back home, my little trooper was all smiles again. Her smile really lights up my…

Daddy’s Promise
Eversince we moved into our new condo about 3 months ago, daddy has brought Alycia and Sherilyn down to the pool for swimming only once. Both daddy and I have been really busy and the gals always complain why they can hardly ever go swimming. On Tuesday, daddy promised his 2 angels that on Wednesday, he will…
Alycia Has Spelling, Ejaan And Ting Xie Every Week
Alycia has just turned 5 years old (she’s a December child) but she’s in the class for 6 year olds. Last week when I checked her message book, I saw this message from her teacher: I was a tad stumped to read the message. Oh dear, I can’t believe that my just turned 5-year old…
Baby C’s Progress @ 9.5 Months
2 days ago, Baby C started doing the following : …she discovered the joys of picking her nose with her forefinger! She could also put both her hands together and move them up and down when we ask her to do ‘gong xi gong xi’. Daddy was in Cloud 9 when he saw his little…
Coaching Alycia Mandarin
It’s a shame that I’m a yellow banana and every time Alycia or Sherilyn asks me “mummy, what Chinese word is this?”, I feel ashamed to tell them “mummy’s not sure” or “wait, let me check out the dictionary“. Alycia and Sherilyn’s pre-school emphasizes on Mandarin a lot and the standard of Mandarin taught to pre-schoolers…
Our New Crocs
Presenting our new Crocs : This Dora Crocs belongs to Sherilyn. My lil’ vain pot tried out on almost all the Crocs at the shop while Alycia told me that all the Crocs shoes are so ugly! Well, Alycia is quite right… when I first saw Crocs more than 2 years ago, I think they are…
Shopping At Mid Valley…. And We Lost Our Maid
Daddy brought us for shopping at Mid Valley Megamall today. He had wanted to buy Sherilyn a pair of Crocs coz the shoes that she normally wears to school is soooo ‘chan‘ – black, torn (and repaired once) and looks really worn out and pathetic. After lunch at Canton I, we went to the Crocs…
Garage Storage
I wish our condo has sufficient space to fix garage storage to store our paraphernalia. Ever since we moved into our condo 2 months ago, we have discarded many things (some of which were very dear to me but I had no choice but to give them away and discard them) and many of our…
Baby C Talks At 9 Months+
I have to put this on record today itself coz this morning, Baby C talked! My maid and I have always been encouraging baby to talk. We’ve always been asking her to say “daddy”, “mummy” and “cheh cheh”. This morning, as usual, I was saying this to baby “baby, say cheh cheh, say cheh cheh“…….
New Toys From God Father
Alycia’s kai yeh (god father) bought her and Sherilyn some toys on Saturday. I think you can guess by now which of these toys belong to who right? Sherilyn my princess wannabe chose this Barbie doll. Alycia my pretty girl who loves boys’ toys chose yet another hideous Ultraman that can kill raksaksa (lol!), an Ultraman pouch,…
My Kids Hate Their Nap Time
If I would just allow it, Alycia and Sherilyn would be more than happy to just play and watch TV the whole day…. and they would avoid taking their nap, bath, avoid drinking water and for Sherilyn, she would love to avoid having her meals too. On Saturday, Alycia and Sherilyn played and watched TV the moment…
Nothing’s Gonna Stop Her From Crawling
Though both her hands are bandaged, Baby C’s still very determined to crawl and cruise. I thought that since her left hand is also bandaged, she wouldn’t be able to meddle with her right bandage (with the IV line) or put things into her mouth but I was wrong. My little tough cookie keeps moving her…
Importance of Life Insurance
One of the many things that I have had to consider before I made my decision to leave the corporate world to be a full-time mom to my kids 3 years ago was whether the hubs would be able to provide us all a fairly comfortable life with just one income in the household. It…
One Moment Happy, The Next Moment In Trauma
That’s just what happened to Baby C yesterday. She was so happy playing masak-masak and Lego blocks with her 2 cheh chehs in the afternoon. However, she was screaming her heart out the next moment…. in the ER of SJMC. Check out my health blog to find out what happened to my poor baby. No….
My Little Energizer Bunny
On most nights, Baby C will wake up between 2-4am and she will stay up to play on our bed for at least half an hour. She will crawl on our king-size bed, pull our hair, give us a little massage, climb over us, cruise on the bed, bang on our bed headboard as if…
How Simple Things Like Papers Can Keep Baby C Occupied
I hardly buy toys for Baby C coz I know she will get bored of her new toy in just days or sometimes in just hours. What I normally do is go through my kitchen cabinets to fish out some plastic containers, cups or plates or go through Aly and Sher’s Toyogo toy box to pick…
