Kids Ask The Darnest Questions

Just a moment ago, Sherilyn insisted that she wanted to shower with me, so I let her into the bathroom. As I was brushing my teeth, this was our conversation :

S – mummy, what do people do after they (get) married?

Me – (remained quiet as I was brushing my teeth)

S – (asked persistantly)… mummy, what do people do after they married and go home? (I can’t help suppressing my laughter on hearing her ask that question. It’s as if she knew that after the wedding, the husband and wife has to do something when they get home LOL!!)

Me – they sayang each other….

S – what else do they do?

Me – they make babies….

S – eeeyucks, babies?! How do they make babies? Mummy, how do they make babies?

Me – just go inside and shower. Next time you’ll know! (and I was chuckling to myself hahahaha!!)

Sherilyn My Super Vain Pot

Sherilyn my princess wananabe loves dressing herself up from head to toe like a Christmas tree. She even wears necklace and bangles at home. On some days, she will wear skirt and legging at home! When it comes to her precious locks, I always have to stop her from decorating her head with too many hair accessories, which always make her look ridiculously hilarious haha!. She just seems to have a fetish with her hair. Yesterday before we went out, she tied a pony tail. Then she clipped up her fringe with a butterfly hair clip and then topped it up with a Hello Kitty headband. She looked like a ‘little aunty’ with so many colorful accessories on her head and she refused to listen when we told her to remove some of the hair accessories. When we were in the washroom of the restaurant, she looked at herself in the mirror, wet her hair with some water, pat her cheeks and then smiled to herself in front of the mirror! This girl of mine is definitely going to grow up to be one very, very vain lady. And I won’t be surprised that she will badger her daddy to send her to one of those well-known hair schools in Wichita 10 years down the road.

A Sandwich That The Kids Absolutely Love

I hardly ever buy sausages and deli meat for my girls. I think they are in the same category with junk food as they are laden with preservatives, sodium and other food additives. Plus, you don’t even know the quality of meat used. As with all forbidden food, my kids absolutely love sausages. If I would just choose the easy way out and cook them instant noodles with sausages everyday, I think they will be very very happy and will gobble down their food in a jiffy without any nagging from me!

The other day, I finally submitted to Alycia’s pleas and bought a packet of chicken sausages. I boiled the sausages, fried some eggs and prepared sandwiches for the girls. I tell yer, they were too happy to see this on the dining table when they got back from school:


Sausages on a bed of fried eggs, cheese and butter-spread walnut wholemeal bread, topped with cool cucumbers and cherries.

I cut each sausage into 4 one quarters so that it would appear that there are a LOT of sausages on their plates haha!

And this rascal who is forever up to silly antics, put the cool cucumbers on her eyes and lay down on two chairs *roll eyes* !!

Ridiculous Hair Sense

Sherilyn my #2 is very fastidious when it comes to her hair. Being a princess wannabe, she wants her hair long, very very long up to her waist but no way am I going to let her keep that long. It’s crazy to have a child’s hair kept that long when she doesn’t know how to care for her precious locks just yet. She loves to have her hair tied up and clipped but in the most ridiculouse ways ever LOL!! Here is just one of the funny hair style which she created herself :

Can you see that she has a bling bling butterfly hair clip on her fringe and a head band on top of it? LOL!!!   And it is a chore getting this fella to do her homework everyday.  She will come up with 1001 excuses to evade doing her homework and even when she finally does it unwillingly, she needs to do something else simultaneously… like eating a banana or perform some acrbatic stunts on the chair!!  That’s Sherilyn…

Future Singer

Apart from being a future hair stylist, dancer, ballerina, lawyer buruk and sales person, I think rascal #2 will turn out to be a great singer! Last night as I was helping her to shower, this rascal sang the ABC song in a medley of styles. First she sang it in the traditional tune, then she sang it like a rapper complete with actions and  later sang it the rock n roll way, accompanied by actions and dance.  She is imaginative, creative and she’s such a natural when it comes to singing and dancing.

Later, she announced that she wants to sing in front of many, many people!  But I’ll bet she will chicken out when the time comes.  I think she’ll most likely get stage fright when there’s a sea of people in front of her HAHA!

Why Do Boys Have Tail??

Sherilyn caught me by surprise one day when she threw me this question “mummy, why do boys have tail?” . I asked her whose ‘tail’ she had seen, was it daddy’s and she said no. Upon probing further, she told me that she saw the boys at her kindy wee wee with their ‘tail’ MUAHAHAHAHA!!


When Sherilyn fished out a halter neck top that was not worn for ages, she exclaimed “OOOOWOW, I like it mummy!!” … with a beaming face!! This princess wannabe likes all things girlish, princess and sexy too! I wish Alycia was like that too instead of just wearing frumpy dumpty t-shirts and jeans. Getting her to wear anything sexy or girlish, she will go ballistic and sulky *slap forehead*….. how I hate those Transformers, Ben 10, Ultraman and monsters that she loves, eeeessssssh!!!

Bread + Cheese + Kaya Everyday Anyone?

Tell me, do you think a kid will go malnourished if she just eats bread with cheese and coconut jam (kaya) + 1 glass of milk everyday and nothing else? Probably not eh? Bread is carbo + protein, cheese is calcium + protein and kaya is high in protein + carbo. Hmmmm, maybe I’ll just serve this little girl with bread + cheese + kaya everyday till she screams fed up. I tell yer, this girl just lurves this stuff and if my mil doesn’t complain, I will just feed her with this everyday haha! It’s fuss free, stress free, she’s happy and I’m happy 😀

2 Wild Monkeys At Home

Sometimes I feel as if I have 2 wild baby monkeys at home. This is what I mean:

Baby monkey getting training from sister monkey hahahahah!!!

Are your kids like that too?

Truly A Rascal

For those of you who are regular readers of my blogs, you would have guessed who cut this RM1 note into zig zag strips.

My mil had bought each of my 2 older gals a pair of scissors that can cut zig zag shape. The curiosity got the better of my rascal and she must have either removed the RM1 note from her ang pow packet or dug it out from her piggy bank and cut the note with her zig zag scissors.

She even kept the strips of zig zag 1 ringgit note in her drawer and it was the tai kar cheh who discovered the crime. There was no partner in crime, just rascal #2 alone. Thank God it was just RM1 and not RM10 or RM50!!

And while I am at the topic of this pair of zig zag scissors, rascal #3 got hold of the pair of scissors one night last Saturday and cut a handful of her hair!!! I was busy entertaining my friends who had come to my house. When I changed Baby into her jammies, I was shocked and almost flipped when I saw the chunk of hair (about 10cm in length and about 100++ strands of them) on the floor of my bedroom. For a moment, I thought she had some diseases and her hair fell on its own. I then remembered that she was playing with the zig zag scissors earlier. Gosh, I tell yer, I almost puked in shock hahahahahah!!!

On a side note, do check out my blogshop for some new and trendy arrivals at even lower prices (ready stock)!!

Things That Only Rascal #2 Would Do

This incident happened about 3 weeks ago when we were at Times Square. After a day of fun at the Cosmo’s World indoor theme park, we had lunch at a Chinese restaurant at Times Square. While waiting for the food to arrive, I walked to the FOS outlet. Rascal #2 said she wanted to pee, so I brought her to the loo, after which I brought her along with me to FOS. While busy looking at the clothes, this rascal let go of my hand and then wandered off. When I turned back, she was no where to be found. I called her name several times but there was no answer from her. Suddenly I was panick-stricken and all sorts of images and imagination flashed my mind. I called her again and this time, a sales girl next to me pointed to her front. I saw my cheeky rascal hiding among the rack of clothes… her body was still hidden between the clothes and she jutted her head out and gave me the cheekiest grin. I tell yer, I could feel steam spewing out from my head and I was yelling at her, chiding her for being so naughty.

Tell me, how would you feel if your child successfully flat-lined your heart beat with her mischief? I ranted on and on and on and on. Up until today, I still bring out this incident whenever we go shopping. I would frighten her by telling her that if she hides herself from me again, some bad hats will kidnap her. Then the bad person will shave her head bald, change her clothes (so that no one could recognize her, thus can never find her) , chop off her hands and legs, remove all her teeth and make her beg for money on the streets LOL!!! I have to use this white lie to prevent her from repeating the naughty act. Sherilyn being Sherilyn, I know she’s capable of repeating her mischief.

But when my rascal is good, she would be really angelic. One morning last week, she took out her pre-school’s stack of flash chards and kept reading them, as if preparing herself for an exam hahaha! What motivates her is the cute stamp/chop that her teacher would chop on the card if she gets the card right.

Hairdresser Wannabe

I am quite convinced that rascal #2 will land herself a career either in the beauty industry or in the sales line (she’s bold, thick faced and  can really yak nonsense has a gift of gab).

She’s super duper vain and must have her hair either tied up or clipped up, even when she goes to bed at night on some nights when she’s in her vain mode. My maid and I have now come up with a new threat that will most of the time get her to hurry up finish drinking her milk and get ready for school every morning…. if she does not hurry up, her hair will not be tied up, period, HAHA!!

Whenever she has the opportunity to lay her hands on just about anyone’s hair, she will practise her hairdressing skill on us, at the expense of our hair, as she will pull off gobs of our hair!!  I have ordered that she keeps her hands off my hair, lest she gives me a premature trip to Svenson Hair Centre.

Baby was the victim here…

So serious at work…..

And this is the end result…. go ahead and have a good laugh!!

Have a great weekend everyone!

Things That Only Rascal #2 Can Think Of

If I leave rascal #2 to shower or brush her teeth alone and without any adult supervision in the bathroom, I can be assured that a storm is brewing inside, 100% guaranteed. If I leave her alone to eat at the dining table, I can rest assure to expect some monkey business from her. This is just one of her mischief:

Towards finishing her bowl of mushroom-fish macaroni, she skewered the macaroni on her fork!!

Blue Cheese Bread

This is a backdated post. My mil made a few loaves of blue cheese wheat bran bread about a month ago. It was her first try baking blue cheese bread.

Hubs giving his mum a helping hand in plaiting the dough.

The dough has to be placed in this special wooden bowl sprinkled with flour so that the bread has nice stripes on the body.

The loaves of bread, just out from the oven.

The blue cheese. On its own, no one could stomach the pungent smell, not even for a cheese lover like me or my gals. It tastes very much like vomit and even after rinsing my mouth with water, the aftertaste was still lingering inside, eeeeeesh!! Alycia kept saying she wanted to vomit each time she passed by the kitchen! But the bread did not taste as bad and pungent after being baked in the oven. They tasted very cheesy and quite delish.

While the adults were busy in the kitchen, my 2 older brats helped themselves to ice-creams. As usual, brat #2 had ice-cream drippings everywhere on her body.

Locked Out

Miss Itchy Fingers made another BIG boo boo. She locked the bathroom door of the master bedroom from outside and after searching through our bunch of keys, we realized that we did not have a key for that bathroom, BUMMER! I remembered reading about Ginnie’s blog post that she used her iPhone card to open up the door that her kids had locked out. I then quickly searched through my wallet and fished out my Bonus Link card (I have no iPhone card, so I chose Bonus Link card, a card that I never use) and tried to open the door. But I realized that for that particular door of ours, the lock could not be seen from the outside, thus a credit card or whatever card cannot be used to open up the door.   I went to other doors in our house to have a look for comparison and the lock of these doors can be seen from the outside, thus can be opened with a card in emergencies, by sliding the card between the door and the wooden frame. My mil and I also tried using coins to open the door but to no avail.

Later that night, daddy came home and took out the tool box. He took the hammer out, placed a stack of newspapers on the door knob and banged the door knob. In the past, he had successfully opened locked out doors using this method. After trying for about half an hour, the door was finally opened!  Thank God Baby was not inside the bathroom, other wise she would have been trapped inside for hours.

The door knob was yanked off during the procedure.

A hole on the bathroom door.  Check out Baby and Alycia inside the bathroom cabinet in the background!

The One With The Itchiest Fingers

No prize for guessing who took out the toothpicks and poked the mango all over. You know right?  Who else would’ve thought of the bright idea?


She said she would finish the mango but, but, but…. always a big but, but she didn’t! The mango with holes looked so gross that even I couldn’t force it down my throat.

This girl, she’s another one whom I feel like strangling sometimes, eeeesh!!

Sherilyn’s Quirk

One of rascal #2’s idiosyncracies is that her blanky MUST be be propely placed on her bed when she sleeps. Since she was around 3 years old up until now, she will spend some time every night to place her blanky really neatly, with all the 4 corners unfolded. If this quirk is not met, she will burst into a fits of rage and screeeeeam!

The other day, she was in a mood to make her bed. And this was how she made it:

Note that the blankey had to be placed straight, with all 4 corners unfolded!  Anyone who tried to move the blanky an inch, she flipped and went “ooooooi…. why you touch my blanket, eeeeessssh!” And then she straightened the blanky again hahahahaha!
