Today, Alycia experienced a heart-stopping moment that sent waves of panic through our household.

After a long day at university, Alycia made a detour to Sunway…
As the pages of time turn swiftly, my two older daughters find themselves embarking on different chapters of their university lives.

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…
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…
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…
It’s never anything good to receive a phone call from my daughters while they’re in school or campus. Last week Sherilyn called me from school to inform me that her newly pierced ear was bleeding as she asked her friend to remove the earring from the ear but the earring almost got stuck in her…
Alycia is back in Ipoh to visit her grandparents. She followed her grandma’s (mil) friend who’s driving back to Ipoh and there’s one more seat in her car for Alycia to tag along. It’s been more than two years since Alycia went back to Ipoh and has not seen my parents for this long. This…
