FollowDuring my revision with Alycia on Science subject before her exam last week, I found out that her understanding of the concept of spring is very shallow. She seems very confused with the correlation of the diameter of the spring and its elasticity. I am ever more surprised that her Science (in Mandarin) teacher did…

Book Maniac
My 8.5YO daughter taking after me — reading while eating. She can spend an hour eating and reading (either own story books, school library books or newspapers) at the same time. And then adjourn to the throne and spend another hour reading there. Coz she knows that after her lunch and shower, she is not…

Alycia’s 1st English Composition
At Primary 3, Alycia has not been taught how to write English composition or Karangan yet. Perhaps her school teachers will start them off in the last school term. To give her the heads-up so that it will be easier for her when the time comes, I told her to start writing her own composition…

Sudoku For Alycia
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…
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…
Throes of Motherhood… Worrying About Your Unwell Child Who’s In School
Alycia was feeling a tad under the weather yesterday. She kept asking me to touch her forehead. If my girls ever ask me to touch their foreheads, I know that they feel feverish and unwell. Alycia was having a runny nose and a productive cough. The sound of the phlegm in her throat each time…
Giving Her The Benefit Of Doubt
During the short CNY holiday, I bought new water tumblers for the girls. I change their water tumblers once every 2 months or whenever I see too many scratches or stains on the bottle. When I bought them, Alycia and Sherilyn were not together with me. They were at the book store with their daddy.…
Never-ending List of Worries
Yesterday was the first day that Alycia had to stay back after school for compulsory extra curricular activities. Ever since the incident last year where the van driver left her out in school and told me that she did not know where she was upon reaching our condo (GOSH, I almost fainted!!), I have this…

Without Solid Food For Over 17 Hours!
On the 2nd day of school last week, I gave Alycia a few Ringgit for her to buy food from the canteen. But she left her purse in her bag inside the classroom after she left the classroom during recess. Her teacher had warned the pupils not to enter the classroom during recess time, so…
To Borders Again!
Our shopping spree will never be complete without visiting the book store and leaving the store with a few books. Books are something that I don’t mind investing in. I have 3 girls. They can take turns to read and even when the youngest has finished reading them in future, I can sell them or…
