Yet Another Accident
Did She Mean To Steal?
When I went into the laundry room to look for my clothes today, I found a lot of rubbish that my maid has collected from our dustbins – things that we have thrown. I found some wrapping papers (from Sherilyn’s birthday pressies), a new sharpener (Sher’s birthday pressie), some crayons and coloring books that I…
My Maid Really Needs To Buckle Up
I’ve had enough of my Cambodian maid’s forgetfulness, lack of enthusiasm, slowness and carelessness in her work. I was so pissed off with her yesterday and today that I gave her an ultimatum – to shape up or ship out and I really mean it. This morning at around 7:30am, I found her sleeping at…
Sherilyn’s 3rd Birthday Dinner
We had wanted a very simple birthday dinner for Sherilyn’s 3rd birthday as I didn’t have the energy and mood to throw her a party and to entertain friends. Already in my 3rd trimester, I’ve been feeling really tired and sleepy these days, so a dinner in a restaurant would be the easiest. Initially, we wanted…
Labeling Of Meat
When my former maid was around, I didn’t have to help her out or supervise her much when it comes to organizing the household and cooking. Whenever I bought meat back from the market or supermarket, she would know what to do. With this super blur maid, I have to label all the meat that…
Light Meals For Me
As my belly is becoming bigger each day, I can only stomach light meals but frequent meals throughout the day. A heavy meal would leave me feeling really uncomfortable and at times have slight heartburn. After breakfast of a hard boiled egg, some fruits, a glass of fresh milk, a handful of almonds and some cookies almost everyday,…
Russian Dating Website
Last week I had a Chinese New Year reunion with some of my old friends at a pub. Some of the waitresses there were Russian women and I tell you, they are really gorgeous. One of our friends who is still a bachelor was eyeing those Russian waitresses with blonde hair and they appeared rather…
Happy 3rd Birthday Sherilyn
Our Maid Is Treating Our Place Like Her Own
Several days ago, I told my Cambodian maid that she could help herself to the basket full of mandarin oranges in the kitchen. I didn’t mind her eating 2-3 oranges a day but this morning when I saw the wet kitchen floor scattered with mandarin orange seeds and skin, I was fuming mad. Only yesterday I…
A Not-So-Happy Valentine’s Day
Yesterday’s Val’s Day was really eventful and heartbreaking for me for Sherilyn broke her forehead. Alycia and Sherilyn had been waiting for daddy to come home to cut the Val’s Day cake and were reluctant to take their baths. They waited until 9:30pm and when daddy was outside the gate, they were so happy…
Happy Valentine’s Day
Simple Lunch
When my former maid was around, I can just tell her to cook anything that we wanted to eat, almost anytime – fried noodles, fried mee, pancakes, crepes, mac and cheese, tumeric chicken, fried chicken, loh hon chai (vegetarian dish), fried fish, burgers, etc – just any dish that I’d taught her, she will know how to cook it…
Pregnancy at 30th Week – Ultrasound Scan
I went for my 30th week detailed scan at the fetal specialist’s office yesterday. As usual, baby is really shy and keeps covering her mouth with her hands. My Ob&G kept shaking my tummy with the probe to make her budge her hand. Finally after about 15 minutes, she moved her hand away briefly and…

At What Age Do You Let Your Kids Bathe Themselves?
Today, one of my readers commented in one of my posts and raised a very interesting point, which got me thinking hard. She said that my kids should be able to take their baths themselves by now. Personally, I feel that Alycia (4 years old) and Sherilyn (1 week shy of her 3rd birthday) are still too young to…
