FollowThis pandan layer cake did the trick. When Alycia refused to part with the junk food that she got from the children’s day party at her pre-school last week, I told her I will buy her her favorite cake. When I brought the pandan layer cake home, she hurried to the kitchen and willingly gave…

Tag : My Proudest Moment
Alice and Slavery Mum would like to know what my life’s proudest moment is. Like most mums, mine was when I finally managed to cuddle Alycia in my arms and meet her face to face for the first time after carrying her for 38 weeks. When I was carrying Alycia, I had gone through endless downs and many nerve-racking moments. …
Updates – Alycia and Sherilyn’s Fever
The gals are finally back on their feet today with no fever. Alycia had completed her course of antibiotics yesterday and today I’ll have to give her probiotics powder supplement to replenish the good bacteria in her guts. Sherilyn still has 3 more days to go on her antibiotics. Daddy bought them a tub of Macademia…
Alycia’s Acceptance Of The Baby
For the past 1 week, Alycia has slowly but surely accepted the baby. Everyday, she would hug my belly, kiss my belly and talk to the baby. When she’s happy, she will tell the baby why she’s happy. When she’s back from school, she will tell the baby that she’s back from school. When daddy…
Update – Alycia’s Fever
Alycia still has a slight temperature this morning. Will see how she feels later after she takes her medicine. If she feels good, we will attend the bloggers’ gathering, else I will have to skip it again. The Augmentin antibiotics that she’s taking is causing her tummy discomfort and she’s been having watery stools since…
Update on Alycia
Daddy brought Alycia to the clinic this morning and the paed said that she has ulcer in her throat. Oh dear, how did this happen? She’s been drinking plain water and barley like a camel but how can she still be getting ulcers? I guess she just cannot tolerate crackers and biscuits as she’s been…
Updates For Today
Internet connection has been super duper bad today. I’ve wasted so much time trying to sign into Blogger, then have to wait like forever for the page to download and I can’t even upload pictures to my posts. To make matters worse, my gmail is down and I can only view my mails in HTML…
Food’s The Great Motivator
That’s Alycia’s mid-morning snack in school today. It’s toasted black sesame and wheatgerm bread (2 slices) with boiled chicken ham (I only buy deli meat once in a blue moon coz it’s not very healthy), cheese and crispy seaweed. Every Tuesday and Thursday, Alycia has extra Mandarin class after school from 11:45am – 12:45pm. So on these days, I’ll prepare something more…
It’s Not The Toothbrush, She Wants Attention!
One morning last week, as usual Alycia refused to brush her teeth before going to school. Daddy didn’t like the idea of Alycia going to school with a stinky mouth and insisted that she brushed her teeth. So he brushed Alycia’s teeth and Alycia was grinning from cheek to cheek and didn’t puke. It was…
Don’t You Think She’s Too Spoilt?
When daddy picked Alycia up from school one day last week, he asked her what she’d like to have for lunch. Of course, Alycia gladly said chicken rice, which was her favorite food and off daddy went to the nearby coffee shop to buy her chicken rice, knowing that there’s lunch prepared at home. Just…
Nasonex Nasal Spray
Because of her sensitive and allergic nose, Alycia is now on 1 month of Nasonex nasal spray. It’s a real battle every single night when it’s time for me to spray this into her nose. A lot of power struggle is involved. I’ve tried coaxing, sweet-talking, hugging, kissing, bribing and threatening but nothing would make…
Oh No, Not Again Alycia!
It happened again this morning. Alycia was fine in the morning when she woke up – she finished her milk without any fuss, did her poopie business in the loo and then….. just when Alycia saw the toothbrush in my maid’s hand, she started to fake puking again. In the process of faking it, she…
What’s It With The Toothbrush?
I found out recently that one of the reasons why Alycia has been puking in the morning after her milk is because she hates to brush her teeth with toothpaste. I’ve been keeping the toothbrush away from her in the morning and all she needs to do now is just to rinse and gargle her mouth…
Chinese Remedy For Phlegm
Alycia has a little phlegm, thus the reason why she puked this morning, I reckon. She also has a little tummy upset and indigestion coz daddy has been feeding her with too much ice creams and cakes over the weekend. All these contributed to her phlegm. Daddy never listens to me, he shows his love…
Alycia Has Super Sensitive Nose
No wonder she’s always having runny nose. We brought Alycia to the paed again this morning as she has been sneezing and feeling a little under the weather. Also puked this morning. So she didn’t go to school for 2 days since Monday. Her paed said she’s got super duper sensitive nose. She does not…
Pre-School Fun and Junk Food
One of the things that motivates Alycia to go to school is that she gets to bring her lunchbox filled with her favorite snacks to school every morning. When her classmates celebrate their birthdays, she gets to eat cakes, junk food and bring home birthday packs. Last week, Alycia got this birthday pack when her…
