Colorful Cup Cakes

Check out these Sesame Street characters cuppies from Wondermilk! Pretty attractive and cute eh? Of all the ‘branded’ cup cakes that I have tasted, my personal preference is Wondermilk. There is something about the taste of the icing that makes it stand out from other cup cakes. It could be the type of vanilla used…

The Girls Welcomed Their New Baby Cousin

We finally got to meet a new addition to our family – baby Raelyne (BBR), who is the first child of my eldest brother and sil in Singapore. Though BBR was born in December last year in Singapore, her very belated full-moon party was only held yesterday at the pool-side of our condo. The girls…

Ready For Pre-School

My baby girl will be 4 next month.  Initially I wanted to delay sending her to pre-school and plan to only register her when she turns 4.5 years old.  But since the start of this year, I observe that she is more than ready to start pre-school. She now knows her ABCs, 123s, all her…

Using Fun Quiz To Do Revision With My Kids

Alycia and Sherilyn are not the type who can sit for hours on end at the table to do revision for their exams or even to do their homework. Alycia is a tad more disciplined and well organized. She knows the meaning of urgency and she knows the consequences of her actions. Sherilyn is the…

Cassandra Says The Darndest Things

We were in a hurry to go to Ikea yesterday morning to claim my monthly reward, which I get from blogging for Ikea. We wanted to leave the house early to beat the peak hour traffic jam. After I had prepared her, this rascal dug out some old play dough and was rolling the dirty…

Breakfast at Antipodean

On Sunday, which was the eve of Alycia’s first term exam, we spent the entire morning in Bangsar. I had planned to stay put at home the entire Sunday and do a rapid revision with her on all her subjects as I had not started doing any with her yet. Saturday was a replacement school…

Learning All Over Again For Me

The Bahasa Malaysia that Alycia is learning in Standard 3 is getting tougher now.  I get really stunned each time I read her BM books and BM workbooks that I have bought for her to practice. The vocab that the Standard 3 kids is learning now is much deeper than my time 3 decades ago….

Alycia’s Collection Of Toys

This is the collection of figurines and Lego owned by my 8-year old. Dolls and soft toys are definitely out of her interest. Jewelry and vanity accessories too. I think she must have been influenced by her male classmates and also her daddy! Yep her daddy still buys guns, character figurines, miniature air planes and…

Would You Pay RM2 To Use A Premium Toilet

Would you pay RM2 to use a premium toilet? When we were at KLCC last Saturday, we were looking for a toilet and stumbled upon this premium toilet located at the same level as Chinoz. As we can still ‘hold’ our bladder, I told my girls that we should hunt for another toilet. Paying RM2…

Cassandra Says The Darndest Things

Out of tiredness caring for 3 demanding girls today, on top of supervising an on-going renovation in the kitchen plus having to deal with some difficult customers, I said this to Baby: Me – I am so so tired you know? I wish I were a princess and don’t have to do any work but…

My 7-YO Ballerina

After close to 2 years in baby ballet class, my princess wannabe is finally ready to sit for Grade 1 of the Royal Academy Of Dancing Exam. The first trial ballet exam was held today. One more trial exam and the actual exam will be held in May or June this year. From a weekly…

Our Saturday – 25 February 2012

Today Sherilyn was green with envy when we went to KLCC without her. We did not leave her out intentionally. It’s just that her ballet class clashed with Alycia’s first appointment with the Orthodontist and she must not miss the class as she is sitting for her Primary 1 ballet exam very soon.   After the…

Valentines Day 2012

I never expected to get a bouquet of flowers from my dear hubs this Valentine’s Day. Ever since the girls came along, our Valentine’s Day came and go without much fanfare, except for a cake. And we normally get a cake just so the kids could have fun cutting, blowing the candles (1 candle each…
