Every Part Of Her Reminds Me Of Something

Posted on August 11, 2010August 11, 2010 by Shireen

Of my 3 kids, I think I have a softer spot for Baby, though I love all 3 very much. That’s because I have been through so much hardship and roller coaster rides with Baby and have seen how much my little trooper have suffered for the first 14 months of her life. Each time…

Math Is All About Practice

Posted on July 15, 2010July 15, 2010 by Shireen

I try to ensure that Alycia and Sherilyn practice solving Math equations at least 3 times in a week. This is in addition to their school Math homework. I think anyone can be a Math wiz if he/she keeps practising it. Alycia in full concentration… The Math questions that I set for her. Do you…

My Little Earnest Helpers

Posted on June 18, 2010June 18, 2010 by Shireen

During this school term break, my 3 girls have been helping me out at my online store. I have delegated some tasks to them, which they took on without any complaints and completed them with much enthusiasm 😀 Alycia is really good with sticking the dockets onto the Pos Laju flyer bags. This task is…

Wrong Approach

Posted on May 27, 2010May 27, 2010 by Shireen

A good teacher brings the best out from a child, stokes up the child’s interest and knows how to capitalize on the child’s strengths and interests. But a teacher who does not have an inkling of what child psychology is and always says discouraging and intimidating words to the child will only kill a child’s…

Of Homework And Seven Year Olds

Posted on May 13, 2010May 12, 2010 by Shireen

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. Her school’s teachers are pretty strict and punishment will be imposed if students forget to do their homework or forget to bring a book. Alycia had forgotten to complete her…

Alycia’s Typical Afternoon

Posted on May 12, 2010May 12, 2010 by Shireen

These days, the weather has been freaking sweltering. Poor Alycia, when she comes home from school in the afternoon, both her cheeks will be as red as a lobster. On most days, both her white shirt and blue pinafore will be soaked with her sweat. I tell yer, Alycia comes home from school looking like…

Homecooked Dishes… And My Bone-Loving Girls

Posted on May 4, 2010May 4, 2010 by Shireen

These are some dishes that my mil cooked for dinner: Braised chicken with potatoes. And stir-fried red and yellow bell peppers, french beans and ‘kai paye koo’ (chicken drumstick fresh mushrooms). It’s called ‘kai paye koo’ as the huge mushroom stems resemble chicken drumsticks! I love them and so do #2 and #3 but not #1…

Alycia’s Wholesome Lunch

Posted on May 3, 2010 by Shireen

Alycia comes back from school at around 4pm twice a week. On days when she comes home late, she will be served a light lunch as dinner will be served early on those days. In school, she will grab a quick bite (nuggets, cakes, buns, biscuits) before she hurries off to her enrichment class. This…

What Has She Been Up To In School?

Posted on April 29, 2010April 29, 2010 by Shireen

When Organic Samm wrote in Facebook that her 7-year old son comes back from school with charcoal black hands, knees and clothes everyday, I wonder what her son has been doing in school. Now I am wondering what my so-called well bahaved Alycia is doing in school too coz she also comes home with charcoal…

Bestest Jie Jie In The WWW

Posted on April 12, 2010 by Shireen

On weekends when Alycia is around, I actually feel a tad relaxed. This girl can help me babysit her baby sister pretty well and sometimes she helps me feed her too – her milk and her meals! Baby doodled the drawers with a red color pencil the other day. No need to guess who came…

Bestest Jie Jie In The WWW

Posted on April 4, 2010 by Shireen

A very busy mum with many kids moulds a child into a very independent child. This is so true. My 2 older girls are very independent, especially Alycia. She’s one very caring jie jie too. The other night I was very busy and could not help Sherilyn blow dry her hair after her bath. I…

Ice-cream Girls

Posted on April 2, 2010April 2, 2010 by Shireen

All 3 of my girls are ice-cream lovers. In fact everyone in our family loves ice-creams. Who doesn’t like ice-cream anyway, right? During the height of Baby’s UTI infections when she was less than a year old and had to be on oral antibiotics everyday, she would not even want to go near ice-creams. I…

Guess Who Had A Bad Temper tantrum?

Posted on March 24, 2010March 24, 2010 by Shireen

Guess who threw into a fits and lay on the floor face down, with her face on the floor mat? And she just lay there like a statue on the floor for a good half an hour, not exactly crying but just being sulky and refused to eat dinner. Don’t play cheat by looking at the…

The Latest Sure-Works Motivation For The Girls

Posted on March 11, 2010 by Shireen

… to get up from bed in the morning is their new bicycles. For the past 3 months, it’s been a struggle for Alycia to stay awake when I jolt her up from her sleep at 6am to get ready for school. It’s even 10x worse for Sherilyn. From pulling her up from bed to…

Easy-To-Make California Roll

Posted on March 7, 2010 by Shireen

Alycia was craving for California roll / hand roll early this week. Day after day, she pestered my mil to make char siew California rolls for her. Some time back last year, my mil made some homemade char siew (roasted pork) and used them for the California roll. Since then Alycia was hooked on the…

Throes Of Being A Mother

Posted on March 4, 2010March 4, 2010 by Shireen

News of a 9-year old girl who was almost abducted in her school recently sent shivers down my spine. I was waiting with Alycia at the lobby for the driver to pick her up yesterday morning when I read the news in the newspapers. I immediately showed the paper to her and exaggerated a bit…
