Maggie mee (my girls’ way of labeling instant noodles) is my girls’ all-time favorite comfort food. That is because I hardly prepare instant noodles for them. Even if I do, the sachet of flavouring with MSG is not added into the soup or noodles. And there will be other side dishes like eggs, seaweed,…
The least most coveted Miss Dilly Dally title now goes to Cassandra! She has now taken over the title from Sherilyn. Her daily early-morning-before-school-dilly dallying is driving me bonkers, just like how Sherilyn did when she was in pre-school. I got so fuming mad with her yesterday that I blew up and transformed into a…
Wednesdays are always very hectic for Sherilyn. By the time she reaches home from school, it is already way past 2pm. After lunch, shower and lots of dilly dallying (with non-stop naggings from my mil and me for her to hurry up), it is already 4pm. By 5:30pm, she must eat something light for dinner…
My mil is a Sudoku whiz. She spends most of her free time baking and solving Sudoku puzzles. She has a huge collection of Sudoku books too. Her Sudoku prowess has rubbed off on Alycia and she is now interested in this number puzzle too. Here’s my mil giving a short tutorial to Alycia on…
We spent the eve of the eve of Cassandra’s 4th birthday at Publika @ Solaris Dutamas yesterday. First we had breakfast at S.Wine Cafe Deli @ Ben’s Independent Grocer. For those of you who like porky meals, S.Wine (swine = pig) is a must-go place as you will find a good number of unique porky…
For those of you who employs a maid, whether part-time or live-in maids, do you make the maid pay for damages that she had done to your property and belongings? I have been having live-in maids for almost 10 years and I have never deducted my maids’ salary for damages that they had done whether…
For the past 1 week, rascal #2 has been getting herself ready for school pretty early. Her daily morning daydreaming and dilly dallying have been reduced significantly and I do not need to help wash her up, dress her up or to comb her hair every morning anymore!! And the source of what motivates her…
Sherilyn has been struggling to do her Art homework, especially with water color painting ever since she entered P1. According to Sherilyn and Alycia, the Art teacher did not show them the proper way of doing water color painting, i.e. how much paint to use, how much water is needed to dilute the paint, how…
The little assistant will take over the helm each time the big boss takes her shower at night. It has always been the big boss’ ‘directive’ that absolutely no one can touch the desk top computer during the day. They have the lappie and the iPad2 to use, so the desk top computer is totally…
We dedicated half our Saturday yesterday to Sherilyn and accompanied her to the ballet studio for the 2nd trial of her Grade 1 ballet exam. The studio was pretty far from where we stay and the journey itself clocked up to almost an hour, both ways. My childhood friend SF and her daughter Mel car…
My youngest rascal is into a verbal diarrhea lately, very articulately that is. She out-talks me and ‘corners’ me many times. And she is becoming more and more like rascal no. 2 in that she is picking up the dilly-dallying habit from her, oh gosh of all the traits, she has to pick up dilly-dallying!!…
