Ballet’s Trial Ballet Exam

With the help from one of the mothers in Aly’s ballet school, I managed to learn the art of tying a bun. Well, it ain’t difficult at all. Daddy had to go to 3 shops in Mid Valley to get all those black hair clips and hair net. He even spent a whopping RM25 on…

Finally My Gals Are Flying To HK Disneyland!

Courtesy of their ever-generous and loving koo mah from HK, Alycia and Sherilyn will fly to HK with mah mah next week for a week during the school holidays. It will be their first visit to HK Disneyland but their 2nd trip to Hong Kong. We brought them to HK when Alycia was 22 months…

How Alycia Gets Good Marks For Her Spelling, Ejaan And Ting Xie

Alycia has been progressing really well in her spelling, ejaan and Ting Xie. She has been getting full marks most of the time.   Guess what the secret is?  I bribe  reward her with Kit Kat (which koong koong gave) and Smarties (which aunty Barb gave) each time she could spell all the words during my practise sessions with her…

Alycia My Assistant Babysitter

Alycia is my best assistant babysitter and she’s really a very caring, protective and loving cheh cheh to Baby C. Sherilyn is too but most of the time, she’s too playful and too rough with Baby C. Whenever I need to take my shower, I will put Baby C in the cot, ask Alycia to go…

Coaching Alycia Mandarin

It’s a shame that I’m a yellow banana and every time Alycia or Sherilyn asks me “mummy, what Chinese word is this?”, I feel ashamed to tell them “mummy’s not sure” or “wait, let me check out the dictionary“. Alycia and Sherilyn’s pre-school emphasizes on Mandarin a lot and the standard of Mandarin taught to pre-schoolers…

My Kids Hate Their Nap Time

If I would just allow it, Alycia and Sherilyn would be more than happy to just play and watch TV the whole day…. and they would avoid taking their nap, bath, avoid drinking water and for Sherilyn, she would love to avoid having her meals too.  On Saturday, Alycia and Sherilyn played and watched TV the moment…

Alycia’s Affinity With Boys’ Toys

So this is what daddy bought Alycia yesterday: So un-girlish hor? Alycia should be cradling a cute baby doll but she’s cradling her hideous looking Ultraman!  Just dunno why, this pretty daughter of mine just doesn’t like dolls, princess and girlish stuff…. unlike Sherilyn.  She just has a penchant for boys’ stuff and most of her toys…

Alycia’s New Bicycle

Before Alycia’s birthday, Granny had promised her that she would buy her a bicycle. When we were back in Ipoh last week, koong koong and granny brought us to Giant to get her the bicycle. My folks spent almost an hour helping Alycia choose a bicycle. Koong koong helping Alycia ride the bicycle. Initially, Alycia…

Teaching Alycia Mathematics

Alycia is still having difficulty doing equations in her Math. She has not much problems doing single digit equations but when it comes to double digits, she’s quite lost. Last year, koo mah sent a pack of Math flash cards for Alycia from HK. I had kept it as I thought it was still a…

Alycia My Miracle Baby

When I found out that I had conceived after going through just one cycle of IUI (Intra-Uterine Insemination), I was ecstatic. At the same time, I also had a slight degree of doubt if the sperms injected into my uterus were indeed hubby’s! I know it sounds really silly but I couldn’t believe how lucky…

Price To Pay For Not Listening To Mummy

Alycia has been gorging on quite a bit of junk food during the school holidays.  Since her birthday about 1.5 weeks ago, she’s been eating cakes, chocolates, crackers, chips, lollipops and other junk food non stop.  She would throw tantrums when her requests to eat junk food were not met.  Her appetite for junk food is pretty…

Monkeying Baby C Again

It’s Alycia monkeying Baby C again. This morning she insisted that Baby C wore her new sunglasses that daddy bought for her. Alycia loves putting hats, caps and other ridiculous toys on Baby C just so she can have a good laugh at her baby sister. Alycia is having a swell time here in Ipoh.  She…

Alycia’s Birth Photos

In commemoration of Alycia’s 5th birthday on 5th December, I am posting some of her birth pix here : When the anesthesiologist passed her to me whilst I was still on the OT table, Alycia winked at me. My heart melted. I could remember very vividly that Alycia’s face was as white as snow, her…

Alycia’s 5th Birthday

Alycia turned 5 years old yesterday. Our initial plan was to have a pool-side birthday party but daddy has been super busy with his work lately. Daddy asked her to choose a venue to celebrate her birthday and she chosed Lemon Garden @ Shangri-La Hotel. And so Shangri-La Hotel it was that we went to…
