As the pages of time turn swiftly, my two older daughters find themselves embarking on different chapters of their university lives.

A Pricey Black Friday
iCrash: Alycia’s iPad Mishap Alycia returned home from a friend’s birthday party, panic evident in her voice the moment she stepped into the house.

My Life In Photos The Past Week
Alycia is having a one month semester break and classes will only resume on 25th April. As she hardly goes out to exercise under the sun, I dragged her out to walk with me to the nearby kopitiam to have breakfast last Saturday morning. And here we are at the open air kopitiam, sweating buckets…

Maria finally came back to work after a hiatus of almost two months caused by severe morning sickness and subsequently a D&C as she had a molar pregnancy and other gynecological issues. I had that familiar feeling of relief each time she came back after a long break. Our ceiling fans and windows had not…

I just realized that I have not updated this blog for 10 days. As you might already have guessed, I’ve been up to my eyeballs with work – house work this time. Maria our part-time maid of 10 years is pregnant with her second child and has been riddled with bad morning sickness. She’s not…
Alycia’s Covid Infection: Day 4 – 7
By day 4, most of the classic symptoms of Covid crept out — sore throat and high fever. On day 5, the fever subsided but Alycia started to have cough and a bad throat. Since Alycia had a zero-symptom Covid infection three months ago and is now infected again, I think she got infected by…
Alycia’s Covid Infection – Day 2 & 3
6 July 2022 – The Covid self-test kit showed a faint line on the T window. Alycia is still feeling well and chirpy. The first symptom however crept out late in the evening with a scratchy throat. Alycia asked for lozenges and I gave her my honey and propolis lozenges that I kept in the…
Covid Positive Again!

My 49th Birthday
This year is the third year that I’ve had a low-key birthday celebration, done at home. We were in lockdown the past two years and this year, though our country is now in transition to endemic phase, I still couldn’t go out to have a blast. It’s a no-brainer guess. Darn Covid. Alycia was tested…

The 3-week year-end school holidays have just started. I had planned to make a trip back to Ipoh but mum advised us to stay put in KL because of the worsening Covid cases. Yesterday our country recorded over 30k cases. Every day I read of my friends’ updates that they or their family have tested…
