Arrived in Auckland!
Here’s a picture of A & S with their mama upon arrival at the airport in Auckland about 3.5 hours ago. Thanks to my bil who waited patiently at the airport. The flight was delayed by 1.5 hours and by the time they were out, it was already close to 2am Auckland time. Thank you…

Now, with just 1 day left before their long 3 weeks break, I wonder if they can promise their grandma…
Drama Queen’s Stunt
The drama queen gave us yet another heart-thumping moment in yet another LIVE thriller drama last Sunday! The mil and I were already nagging her for some of her dramas earlier while at the shopping mall. Just as we were going down the walkalator of Bangsar Village to get to the car park, all of…
Involving Kids In Household Chores
It took my daughters and me over 2 years to get used to our life without a live-in maid, since our live-in maid of 4 years returned to Indonesia for good. My daughters have had at least a maid at any one time all their lives to care for them until 2 years ago. In…

Of Bribing A Child
Today I bribed Cass! I told Cass that if she would let me record a video her dancing and singing to Meghan Trainor’s All About That Bass song, I would give her a reward *evil mum* Now she is bugging me to shoot the video so that she can claim her reward! Coz I…

We were out at Gardens and Mid Valley Megamall today. After lunch of dim sum at Han Room, we went our separate ways. Alycia and Sherilyn wanted to follow daddy coz daddy is a softie and will say yes to almost all their whims and fancies. Grandma and hubs’ aunt went shopping separately. And I…
Health Freak Mommy’s Meals
I have been kissed by some bugs that the drama queen brought back from either school or the enrichment centre. She has been having flu (not the full-blown kind that warrants sick leave) for quite some time already and just don’t seem to get better. I am now suspecting that she has sinus. Anyway, since…
