Follow… and that’s exactly how Baby C is feeling now. She can now walk, albeit like a drunkard and she looks like she doesn’t know how to ‘brake’ when she walks. Well she looks like she’s half running all the time and she always makes everyone laugh when she walks like a drunkard muahahaha! I…

Lots Of Salmon
Everyone in our family loves salmon fish. We love it eaten in any form – raw (we have never let our gals try it though), steamed, pan fried, grilled, toasted (wrapped in aluminium foil and toasted in the oven) and BBQed. We normally pan fry the salmon head and then boil it to make a pot of nutritious…
I’m Learning Too
The good side about coaching my 2 older gals in their homework is that I’m also learning. Being a yellow banana who only had a couple of years of tuition for Mandarin (when I was 7 and 8 years old), I’m now learning new Mandarin words everyday! When I was doing revision on English with…
The Magic Bullet
Ever since I found out about psyllium husk and have been consuming it, I hardly suffer from constipation (knock on wood!). Before psyllium husks came into my life, I had tried several products to stimulate my bowel movements, including using laxatives which caused terrible tummy aches. I now gulp down a tablespoon of psyllium husk…
Way Too Difficult For Pre-Schoolers?
In my opinion, I think these Math equations are way too difficult for 5 and 6-year old pre-schoolers : Take a look at the boxes on the questions. They are everywhere…. some in front and some behind, first set and second set. I think even some adults would need some time to ponder how to solve…
Baby C Wants To Swim Too
Alycia and Sherilyn had their first swimming lesson on Tuesday. Just before they took their nap, I dug out their swimming suits, caps and goggles and laid them on Aly’s bed so that when they got up from their nap, they can hop right into their swimming suits. Baby who was gallivanting from room to…
Our 10th Wedding Anniversary
This year marks hubby and my 10th wedding anniversary. We were registered in the year 1999 and our wedding ceremony was held the following year. How time flies. Hubby once told me that on our 10th wedding anniversary, we would go to the bridal studio to get some nice shots of us and our kids…
Alycia And Sherilyn’s First Swimming Lesson
Alycia and Sherilyn had their first swimming lesson on Tuesday. The gals were really excited and enjoyed themselves. I had wanted to follow them to the pool but baby was still napping, so I stayed home and watched them at the pool with their instructor from the 5th floor of our condo. All set to…
Like Real Only
Saturdays are the only days that Aly and Sher can have prolonged breakfast and watch TV for hours. Last Saturday, I saw Sher sitting on the couch eating her egg for breakfast, not watching TV but ‘reading’ her Ladybird story book… like real only, as if she could read hahaha! She was so wrapped up…
The Indulgent Grandparents
Would you agree with me that most grandparents are indulgent grandparents and would spoil their grand children rotten? My parents are and so is my mil. And my 3 gals are darn lucky. When we were back in Ipoh recently, my dad (whom we feared the most when we were young as he’s fierce!) was the yes-man…
‘Healthy’ Instant Noodles
When I was shopping for groceries at Tesco the other day, I came upon instant noodles that are supposedly healthy. Since my 2 older gals have been pestering me all the time to allow them to eat instant noodles, I bought a pack of Cintan brand MSG-free instant noodles to try. The noodles are made from…
Not Quite A Princess
See how samseng my princess wannabe is here : Sher is doing her pre-school homework here but as usual, she must move her body and fidget every single part of her body… coz that’s Sherilyn! I can never ever get her to sit still for just about anything (except when she’s seated right in front…
Self Entertainment
Sometimes, I am really amazed to see how my 2 older brats can find activities to entertain themselves when I’m too busy to entertain them. This is one of the silly but fun and hilarious activities that they came out with by themselves, which made me made burst out in a guffaw when I saw…
Dinosaur Aged Shape Sorter
My mum gets very sentimental with the toys that her kids once played with and clothes that we once wore. She keeps everything from our first blanky to our first Peter & Jane book to just about everything. Oh, she even keeps her maternity clothes which she wore 38+ years ago… which I wore when I…
Gold Is So Valuable Now
When I was back in my hometown recently, I removed some of my gold jewelries from the bank and brought them to the goldsmith, just for the fun of checking how much they cost now. I was astounded when the goldsmith told me that they are now worth almost three times that of the original…
