FollowAlycia’s Interest In Ballet
Posted on
I am still thinking if I should continue sending Alycia for ballet classes. After almost 5 months into learning ballet, she now tells me that she does not want to attend her ballet class anymore. I don’t know if she really dislikes ballet or she doesn’t like it that I can’t accompany her to her…
That’s How Alycia Eats Her Meds
Posted on
That’s how Alycia eats her meds now, the latest technique, which her mah mah taught her. First, she licks a candy… then I pour a drop of her meds into a spoonful of chilled Ribena… after swallowing the meds, she licks the candy again. When she has finished the meds, she will obediently throw the…
Alycia Is Testing My Patience
Posted on
Alycia is really testing my patience to the limit. Since early last year up until now, she has been falling sick every other month. That’s when she first started attending pre-school. Alycia was a very healthy baby for the first 1 year of her life and never once fell sick during that year. Her immune…

A Not-So-Healthy Breakfast
Posted on
Whenever my mil is back home from HK or NZ, Alycia and Sherilyn will stick to their mah mah like glue. That’s because mah mah is oh so patient with them, hardly scolds them and often spoils them with food. In this pic, Alycia was eating roti canai and kuih for breakfast. The gals rarely get…
Alycia Adores Baby C

Biscuit-free For 1 Month
Posted on
Alycia is very prone to getting throat infection and ulcers in her throat and inner lip. I suspect that these are caused by eating too much biscuits and crackers. Though she drinks plain water like a camel, she is still very susceptible to sore throat and ulcers in her mouth. I have a friend whose…
Finally, Alycia Gets To Carry Her Baby Sister
Posted on
When Alycia and Sherilyn were sick last week, we forbade them from getting near Baby C…..but still they tried every way they could to get near their baby sister and even tried to kiss her. Their hands were practically all over their new baby sister each time they see me breastfeed her. The 2 gals…
Ballerina In The Making

Here are some pix which I took during Alycia’s ballet class yesterday. Though parents are not allowed to go inside the class, I managed to discreetly snap some pix. The students lining up for their turn to walk tip-top, chest out, hands on waist and head raised, towards the teacher. Alycia is the second tallest in the…
Alycia Can’t Accept Being A Loser
Posted on
My mum was teaching Alycia and Sherilyn the concept of addition and subtraction through playing cards when Alycia lost the game. She was so upset with losing the game that she cried and wouldn’t accept being a loser, though my mum explained to her that it’s ok to lose. When I tried to snap a picture of…
Back To School Again
Posted on
Today is the first day of the second school term for school kids after a week-long school holidays. Alycia woke up early and reached school early today. Today is also the first day of Alycia’s computer enrichment class. School hours are also extended by 15 minutes because of the computer class. As expected, Alycia came…
Flashcards
Posted on
Alycia’s pre-school gives tons of flashcards (English, BM and Mandarin) to students each week. For kids with busy working parents, I wonder if anyone at home ever flashes the cards to them. While it is really good to be receiving the flashcards from the school, the parent really needs to spend some time everyday to…
Vomiting Again
Posted on
Though Alycia seems to have recovered from her recent bout of illness, she still puked once yesterday and once today. Yesterday, she kept telling me that she’s hungry. About half an hour before dinner time, I gave her a banana. Just before dinner, she told me that she had tummy ache and puked. I thought…

The girls have finally recovered from their illness, though not 100% as there is still phlegm in their throats. Their appetite is finally making a come back. For the past 2.5 days, Alycia has been talking non-stop about food…. telling me what she would like to eat for breakfast, lunch, dinner…. non-stop. Two nights ago, she told me that she…
