FollowAlycia and Sherilyn can hardly sit still during meal times, especially during breakfast when their energy levels are at the highest in the morning. To keep them still on their chairs, I have to provide them with some activities like drawing, scribbling, reading or coloring whilst my maid and I feed them. My mom and…

Crawling and Creeping For Your Child’s Brain Development
Crawling (like commando crawl) and creeping (on all fours, i.e. on hands and knees) are highly advocated and encouraged by Glenn Doman (GD) for the development of a baby’s brains. I used to be a pro-GD and practised the GD inspired programs with Sherilyn since she was a newborn. When I first had Alycia, I…
Pissed Off With Streamyx
I woke up at 6am today hoping to grab some offers and to complete my outstanding assignments. But my computer wouldn’t cooperate. It took me ages to download the advertisers’ websites. Some websites were fine but I had problems with most sites. I thought my computer was acting up again and restarted it but after…
Sweet Corn Fritters
Here’s another dish that both toddlers and adults will enjoy – sweet corn fritters. My gals are crazy over this dish. It contains protein, iron, carbo and fibre – a wholesome meal. Ingredients : 1) 2 cob of corns – remove corn kernels from the cob (choose young corns) 2) Chopped spring onions or you…
Happy Mid Autumn Festival
To everyone celebrating this festival, here’s wishing you a very happy Mid Autumn Festival. We are not celebrating this festival as we’re not Buddhist. So today is just a regular day for us but I’ll be making some chicken nuggets coated with Nestum for the gals. It’s my first try using Nestum as the coat…

Dim Sum at Imbi Palace
Last Thursday, we had Dim Sum for lunch at Imbi Palace Chinese Restaurant after my medical check-up. Dim Sum is our all-time favorite and is always top on Alycia’s list too. This is what we ordered : Siew Yoke (Roasted crispy pork). I’d forgotten to snap a pic of this dish as it was the…
Do You Know What Your Teenagers Are Doing Outside?
I was at the park with the gals yesterday evening. For the last few days I’ve seen this group of 13-year old boys and girls from a nearby co-ed school loitering at the park after school in their school uniform. On normal days, I would see a few boys puffing cigarettes surreptitiously under a tree.…
That’s How Alycia Eats Her Medicine
Alycia who once gave me and the entire family a real tough time feeding her medicine can now eat her medicine without any fuss. I must say she’s even better than me when it comes to this. I hate medicine and I can never swallow any type of liquid medicine without barfing. All I need…

Tag : Things That Irritate You
Have been tagged by Kerry on the top 8 questions people ask or things that people do that irritate me. I’m quite a diplomatic and friendly person. Though at times there are certain things that people say or ask that really irritate me and piss me off, I’ll still give them a smile…. a forced…
Black Saturday
It was a black Saturday for Sherilyn yesterday. She had a fall once, knocked her chin against a table, got her fingers pinched by a door and had a near miss serious case of having her 4 fingers squashed by the same steel door which broke her thumb last year. Sherilyn my little fearless samseng…
Lantern Party
Alycia got well in time to attend the lantern party held at her pre-school yesterday evening. There were hundred over people – kids, their parents and maids and the garden of the school was an ocean of human. We had to wait for almost an hour for everyone to arrive before the walk round the…
Another Piece of Shocking News
I’m sure many of you have read the unbelievable and shocking news of a 10-year old boy who molested a 5-year old girl at a childcare centre here in yesterday’s newspapers. The boy had locked the girl in the bathroom before pushing her down to the floor and molested her. Luckily another kid heard the…
Brewing My Favorite Tea
Apart from Japanese tea, I love Crysanthemum flower tea. My mil who is a discerning tea lover has a cute and handy tea brewing set from Korea which I can make my tea in a jiffy. I just need to put in the Crysanthemum flower buds into the ceramic strainer and after letting the flowers…
Alycia Puked
Last night after taking her medicine, Alycia puked. I gave her a piece of Digestive biscuit as treat and I think she must have eaten the biscuit hastily and the biscuit must have gagged her throat, thus inducing the vomit sensation. I fed her the medicine again just before bedtime and thank God, she didn’t…
