Nanny 911 Needed

I am currently facing a big issue with my #2. She is an extremely whiny, screamy and crabby child. At 6years 5 months, she cries, screams and throws tantrums every single day. She is late for school everyday as she has trouble waking up, drinking her milk, washing herself up and dressing up. When told to…

My Snyder’s Cheddar Cheese Pretzels

I love Snyder’s Cheddar Cheese Pretzels. It’s one of my simple indulgences to break away from stress at home. I lost my voice last week, from a minor throat infection which I got it from Alycia. I self treated myself without the need to go to the GP to get antibiotics by gargling my throat…

Bound!

Rascal #3 has a very bad habit of running around whenever she eats. She takes after rascal #2 who can never sit still at the dining table during meal times or when she’s asked to do homework. Thus, these 2 rascals get whacked a lot during meal times. A few days ago, I got so…

Baby and Alycia

A few nights ago, Alycia was fuming mad and whining away non-stop when she could not find some cards that her classmate had given her. This girl is very fond of having an outburst, which results in fits of rage and bawling whenever she cannot find her school books or other stuff. When Baby heard…

Braised Pork Ribs with Yam

If I prepare simple sustenance for lunch, I’ll ensure that there is something more ‘proper’ for dinner. If my girls have sandwiches or porridge for lunch, I will prepare dishes that are more meaty like braised pork ribs, chicken or fried fish for dinner. Braised pork ribs with yam is one of the more popular…

Kids Say The Darndest Things

Conversation with Baby over breakfast this morning: Baby – mummy, last time you had a spotty dog right? Me – yes. But Spotty is dead now. Mummy was so sad when he died. Baby – don’t be sad ok? (then pats my lap) I will buy you a new spotty dog. A new puppy dog…

Terriyaki Chicken Sandwich

My kids are getting fed up with having fried noodles, fried rice, noodles, pasta and spaghetti for lunch. So I whipped up sometime different for them – Chicken Terriyaki sandwich complete with lettuce, mayo, cheese and cucumbers…. Subway style! I marinated the chicken breast fillet with some Kikoman Terriyaki sauce and black pepper, then pan…

Kids Nap The Darndest Ways

I saw Baby dozed off on the couch in a half standing position and in her bathing suit… with her panty on 🙂  I just had to snap a pic of this as I think it was too funny.  Rascal #2 was so absorbed in my laptop activity that she did not even notice that…

Another Heart Stopping Moment

My little rascal flat lined my heartbeat today. I was busy working on my computer and then this rascal yelled out that she wanted to pee. I rushed to bring her to the bathroom. As we were walking to the loo, this rascal was rubbing her eye and told me that her eye was itchy….

Why We Love Wednesdays and Saturdays

My girls love Wednesdays and Saturdays. That’s because they are my Princess wannabe’s ballet class days. That’s when she gets to meet her fellow ballet classmates, who all seem to possess the same style and traits as her. They say birds of a feather flock together, how true this adage is haha! For Alycia and…

Slowly Turning Into A Clean Freak

My 7.5YO eldest girl is slowly turning into a clean freak… just like her mummy o_O ! These are some of the things that have become her habit now: 1) washes her hair twice a day, with shampoo. She steals my shampoo and conditioner too! 2) secretly applies daddy’s anti-deodorant on her clothes OMG! 4)…

Obsessed With Folding Blankets

I believe everyone has an OCD or a quirk, even with young kids and toddlers. Baby’s latest OCD is with folding blankets, towels and nappies. She is also obsessed with having at least 3 pieces of nappies and 2 blankets on the king size bed that she shares with her sisters. She likes to be…

Our Pleasant Saturday

It was indeed a very pleasant Saturday for me simply because my prayers were granted. Today we left the house very early for the Immigration Dept. to renew our passports. After we left the Immigration Dept., we went to collect Alycia’s report card. I did not expect to be greeted with such pleasant writings on…

Daddy’s Angels

Who says girls are less superior compared to boys? Girls will manja their daddy and help their daddy in dire straits like when he sprains his back… When hubs hurt his back last weekend during a basketball game, he had to use the OTO Hans Bodycare equipment to ease the pain. When he brought the…

Terrified of Snakes!

Lately, I found a very effective way of getting Baby to stop whining and screaming. Each time she whines and yells, I will scare her by telling her that the snake is somewhere near us, in its sleep. With her screams, snaky will be jolted from its sleep. Snaky will then swallow her up in…

Our Sunday – Happy Father’s Day!

Today was by far the best Father’s Day celebration for the girls. After church, we had lunch at Duck King. Then we had cakes at Food Foundry as daddy was craving for his Vanilla Crepe cake and chocolate cake. At Food Foundry, daddy ordered 4 slices of sinfully fattening delish cakes and a plate of…
