Alycia And Our New Maid Are Good Friends

Alycia seems to hit it off really well with our new Cambodian maid.  She tries to be chummy with her and talks to her all the time…. coz she’s got ulterior motive.  Today she asked her kakak to carry her like a baby!  Just a moment ago, she asked kakak to carry her like a baby…

Our Cambodian Maid

….. can really ‘kaik sei ngor’ (can really anger me till death).   Though she’s hardworking, some of the things she does can really kaik sei ngor.  She tries to be efficient by putting the dirty clothes into the washing machine whenever she sees them in the laundry basket, even if there were only a few pieces…

Sherilyn Is Driving Me Insane

…..with her crying and puking.  Each time she cries, she will surely puke, whether it is a 5 minute wail or a 10 minute wail.  I still won’t really mind if she pukes during the day or at the dining table during meal times but when she cries and pukes on herself and on the…

Pregnancy At Week 26+

I went for my pre-natal check-up today.  The ultrasound scan revealed that my baby’s right kidney is still mildly dilated.   The umbilical cord is also round her neck in a single loop.  When I heard my ObG telling me that, I was really worried but my ObG was so blase about it and told me it’s very…

Sherilyn Hates Our New Maid

There just isn’t any chemistry between my new maid and Sherilyn.  When Sherilyn saw our new Cambodian temp maid for the first time, she had just woken up from her nap.  She was sobbing away on the mattress as I was talking to the maid agent.  When I asked her why she was crying, she…

Relief For Varicose Veins

I finally bought myself a pair of support stockings from the pharmacy to relief the bulging varicose veins on my legs.  The pair of stockings cost me RM89, freaking expensive!  Though I had bought the stockings for 3 days already, I had only worn it once for half a day yesterday.  It’s really troublesome to…

Mum’s Out, New Temp Maid In

My mum has just left with my brother for Ipoh. I’m now all alone in the house with the gals.  The gals wouldn’t want to nap when granny was here though they were really drained out.  After granny left at around 6pm, they were so tired that I don’t even have to force them to…

Any woman who has gone through infertility would understand how painful it is – both emotionally and physically and also strenuous on one’s pocket.  I know it as I had gone through years of infertility before I had Alycia. I had sought various invasive methods of infertility treatments which include taking several rounds of Clomid, underwent a…

After enjoying delicious homecooked food catered from Aly and Sher’s former nanny for 2 days on Monday and Tuesday, we had to eat outside food for 2 days straight, 2 meals a day since Wednesday as the nanny had to go outstation for a couple of days. The nanny is really a great cook and can cook…

Do you remember the very first time you said “ Honey, I am pregnant” to your hubby when the pregnancy test kit showed a double line? I still remember that particular day vividly. We were at the fertility clinic and the urine test results showed a positive.  Hubby and I had gone through years of…

My 2 Little Laundry Helpers

My 2 little ardent helpers helping granny fold the laundry. Without a kakak around has to some extent brought out the positive and helpful side in Alycia and Sherilyn. Last night, I was really touched when Alycia said this to me when she saw me folding the laundry “mummy, since I have the time, I can…

I Have Never Been So Tired

Today is the second day I am without a maid.  It’s been years since I last mopped the floor but this time it felt extra tiring having to mop a 2 1/2 storey house with 3 rooms.  I also washed 3 loads of laundry on top of caring for my 2 brats.  Luckily I have my…
