Breast Is The Best

It’s been 2 weeks since Sherilyn’s chicken pox attack and Baby C hasn’t been bitten by the CP virus yet and I think I can safely say that she has passed the contagious period and will be spared from getting CP, well at least for now, for as long as she’s drinking my milkie.  That’s one of the…

Blog Statistics Breaches 1000 Visitors Per Day

I have not been checking the site statistics for both my blogs for quite some time and when I checked today, I was really astounded and ecstatic to find that my Blogspot blog has finally breached the 1,000-a-day visitor mark! Woot, that’s really great. Here’s an excerpt of the statistics from my Google Adsense account…

Cassandra Turned 4 Months Old

on 9 August 2008. How time flies. My 2.75kg (at birth) little baby has grown so much and is now 6kg+ and she’s my living dumb bell for she wants to be carried all the time.  I can hardly have a peaceful meal these days as I will be carrying her with one hand and…

Homemade Jam And Bread Spread

My mum made some homemade jam and bread spread before she came to visit us last week. She made peanut butter, pandan kaya (a bread spread made of coconut milk, sugar, eggs and screwpine leaves juice), strawberry jam, green bean or mung bean paste and red bean paste – all with reduced sugar as I don’t…

Psyllium Husk

I have been taking Psyllium husk for more than 2 years but stopped consuming it when I was pregnant with Baby C.  I used to suffer from constipation (though I drink water like a camel and eat lots of fruits) quite often and had to take meds to help me with my bowel movement.  Ever…

Activities During The Long School Break

I can’t believe there are only 3 more months before the long school break which starts in mid November. It’s going to be really tough on me if my 2 older girls are at home with me the whole day. I will surely go bonkers with 2 restless, attention-seeking toddlers and a clingy baby. I may…

Precious Grand Daughters

My mum has not seen her 3 precious grand daughters for almost 3 months and ever since she arrived on Sunday last week, she has been snapping pictures of her grand daughters non stop. I had cold sweat dripping down my forehead when my mum put Baby C on the couch without any pillow to…

Halloween Costumes

Halloween is an annual celebration celebrated on the night of October 31st. Halloween activities include trick-or-treating, ghost tours, bonfires, Halloween Costumes party, visiting haunted houses and carving Jack-o’-lanterns (a carved pumpkin with a candle lit inside). Halloween is celebrated in several countries of the Western world, most commonly in Ireland, the United States, Canada, Puerto…

Fun Activities With Granny

Granny has not seen the gals for almost 3 months and missed them terribly. When she came last week, the gals were very delighted to see her and of course granny was happy beyond words to see her only 3 grand children. Let the pictures here tell the story : Granny teaching the gals origami and…

Homemade Soya Bean Milk

My mum gave me her Cosway soya bean milk maker when she came last week. With this maker, I can make my own soya bean milk every other day. Not only is homemade soya bean milk healthier, tastier and thicker, it is also way cheaper than the ones sold outside or packet ones. All I…

Young Achiever

The owner of the hair salon that I go to drives a Porsche Carrera. I have no idea how this young chap in his early thirties manages to own a hair salon and an expensive car. During a chat with him 2 days ago when I went for my hair cut, he told me that he…

Cassandra Can Finally Flip Over Like A Pro

I better put this on record before I forget. Since yesterday, Baby C can flip over like a pro within seconds whenever she’s placed on her back. She now doesn’t like to be placed on her back anymore.  Today, Baby C is 4 days shy of turning 4 months old. Baby C also gets distracted very…

Loving Mah Mah

Mah Mah left for HK on Saturday last week and thereafter for Japan the following day. Before she left, she went to the market to buy fruits, vegetables, fish, meat and some dried food stuff for us. She’s always like this. Before she goes back to HK or NZ each time, she will fill the…

Mandarin For 3 Year Olds

That’s Sherilyn’s Mandarin homework. Yes, you read me right. It’s my 3 yo’s Mandarin homework from pre-school and being a yellow banana, I have no idea how to guide her in Mandarin.  Don’t you think this is just too tough for a 3 yo?  I am fortunate that my mil was around for the past 3.5 months…

Alycia And Baby C

I had prohibited Alycia from getting near or touching Baby C for more than a week as she had a runny nose and a bad throat. She got better 2 days ago and the ‘restriction order’ was lifted. She was so glad and could not help touching her baby sister. When I wasn’t looking, she even…
