Apart from being a future hair stylist, dancer, ballerina, lawyer buruk and sales person, I think rascal #2 will turn out to be a great singer! Last night as I was helping her to shower, this rascal sang the ABC song in a medley of styles. First she sang it in the traditional tune, then…
Little Hair-Stylist Wannabe
As I am typing this post, my hair-stylist wannabe who aspires to go to the well known Arkansas Beauty School when she grows up is styling my hair with her bunch of hair accessories and combs. She is pulling and tugging my hair more than anything else. I wouldn’t mind if she combs it and…
Rude Shock
I was jolted up from bed at around 4am this morning when I heard a thud sound followed by Baby’s wail. She had fallen off our king sized bed!! My reflex action was amazingly quick. At the immediate sound of her cries, I jumped right up from bed, carried her up, gave her a hug and offered…

My Encounters With Perverts
If you ask me if I had encountered any sex predator in my life, the answer is a big YES. But thank God, I was under his watchful eyes and was spared from physical harm. When I first came to the big city to study 2 decades ago, I shared a rented room with a…

I Only Share My Chair With You
Baby has always been closer to Alycia than with Sherilyn. Ever since Alycia started attending primary school, she has lesser time to play with Baby. She’s in school most of the time. Even when she’s at home, she is always busy with her homework and will be in bed by 9pm. In fact, Alycia hardly…
How To Unwrap?
My mil bought some California rolls (aka hand rolls) from Jaya Jusco for the girls for lunch the other day. But when we wanted to eat the rolls, we were stumped. The plastic sheet that was wrapped round the California roll was wrapped in such a complicated way that none of us could solve the ‘puzzle’…
Homecooked Dishes

Steamed chicken with wood ear fungus, dried golden needle mushrooms, dried mushrooms,…

Alycia had forgotten to bring her school’s message book home one day and this spelt TROUBLE coz she wasn’t able to check the homework she had to do.
