Each time we have a heavy lunch on a Sunday, the girls would tell me that they only want to have something really light for dinner, like salad, sandwiches or leftover food that we had for lunch. But each time we have a light dinner on a Sunday night, the girls, especially Alycia would feel…
On a hot and humid Saturday morning today, the girls had a Skype video call with Sarah ku ku (hubs’ youngest sis) from Hawaii. Sarah kuku showed the girls her collection of seashells collected from the shores of Hawaii and they were all ooooing and aaaaing when they saw the huge and pretty seashells. She…
The weather in the Klang Valley has been crazily hot and choking. Never mind that it is hot and choking with haze as long as there is flowing water from the taps. But no. Most areas in the Klang Valley have been affected by the water rationing exercise. My heart goes out to those affected…
Cass’ morning ritual is to drink a glass of yoghurt drink before she sits on the throne, brushes her teeth, takes a quick shower and off she goes to kindy. This morning, as with other mornings, she dilly dallied a wee bit. Before I went into the bathroom to shower, I told her to quickly…
Yesterday I sent a Facebook message to Puspel, the water management company to seek confirmation on whether our area is affected by the water rationing. This is because our ‘Taman’ is not specifically listed out in the Water Rationing Notice. All our close neighbors are affected and listed out in the Notice. Our condo Management…
For the past three days, our part-time maid was unable to come. The past three days had been hectic, with us busy storing water, carrying pails of water, carrying buckets of semi-clean water (we recycle water that we use to bathe) to flush toilets and doing household chores. School shoes were not washed this week…
Many of us take for granted what comes down from above like the rain and the sunshine. But ever since the prolonged drought and water rationing exercise carried out in almost every part of the Klang Valley in 1998, I have treated rain water as a very precious natural resource. Each time it rains, I…
Alycia has a new ambition now. It is an ambition that is not too difficult to achieve, considering that she is addicted to the computer and she likes to loiter at Google during her free time. All she needs to do now is to study hard, ace in school, college and university. That’s what I…
Whenever Alycia and Sherilyn pass remarks like “are we bringing bread to school AGAIN tomorrow?”, I will reply “YES!”. “Strawberry jam/ kaya/peanut butter again??” and I will reply “YES!!” “I am SO SICK of strawberry jam / kaya/peanut butter mummy!” And my standard long reply would go… “when I was your age, my mummy, your…
… and it happened this morning! I was working on an invoice for a customer when the Excel file started to act up and then went ‘hang’. Then, I smelled something burning, something that smelled like plastic burning. The mil who was having breakfast also twitched her nose. Then the both of us looked at…
For weeks, Sherilyn’s bff, B has been persuading her to have a joint birthday party at the pool-side of our condo. B’s birthday is on 15 February and Sherilyn’s on 16 February. Sherilyn’s other buddy’s birthday is on 17 February. So the girls wanted to have a joint pool-side birthday party. But I wasn’t keen…
Happy birthday Sherilyn! May you grow up healthily, happily and obediently with God’s guidance. May you make your daddy and mummy proud of you always. Can’t believe that you are 9 this year! Still remember so vividly 9 years ago today. It was the 8th day of CNY and you were delivered via elective C-Section….
