Alycia has been assigned by her high school Drama Club teacher-in-charge to organize an end-of- year school trip for Drama Club members. The destination of choice is Ipoh but she’s open to other places as long as the trip is within the budget of RM200 per student. So Alycia called my parents to ask them…

Kick-ass Kickboxing Girls
Alycia and Sherilyn are both attending kickboxing and Muay Thai classes now. They love it! Well, my girls are not really girls. They prefer to indulge in boys’ stuff.

Goodbye 2018, Welcome 2019!
It’s the last day of 2018 already? I can’t believe how fast the year zoomed past us like a bullet train. Time is really like a thief! How I wish I could freeze all those good times. This year has been pretty good to me and my family. Health-wise, all started well until the very…
Sick Week
This week has been a rough week for me. It first started with Alycia falling sick on Tuesday. She hardly gets fever these days but this time the temperature shot up to 41.3C with chills, a chesty cough and a throbbingly painful migraine that came in waves. The hubs and mil were pressing me (again!)…

After a wait of five months for all her major exams to be over, Alycia finally had the first two (of four!) of her teeth extracted yesterday. For aesthetics / braces purpose. It was a walk in the park for her. Praise the Lord!! But her mum was a nervous wreck. I did not even…
Martial Arts Lessons For Drama Queen and Alycia
Drama Queen has been learning taekwondo since the beginning of the year at her high school. She is now doing yellow belt. Her lessons are held once a week on Saturday mornings and she loves taekwondo. But I am not too happy with the coach. I think he lacks integrity and is not forthcoming with…
Someone Almost Burnt Down The Condo
Alycia, the princess with royal fingers hardly does chores in the kitchen, much less cook or even reheat food in the microwave oven and wok. When she needs her food reheated, she gets my help, her grandma or Drama Queen. On Saturday upon return from school, Alycia decided to reheat a pau (taken out from…
Alycia On Braces – Day 4
On day 4, Alycia was still on a fasting mode. She didn’t have the mood to eat anything, though her tummy was rumbling like crazy.

Alycia On Braces ~ Day 1 – 4 (20 – 24 June 2018)
Alycia’s B day on 20 June turned out very smoothly. The dentist told us that it would take approximately 1.5 hours for the braces to be fixed but it was completed within an hour. ? While the dentist was working on Alycia’s teeth, I chatted with his wife and later learned that both their children are…

Alycia Turns 14 Today
Fourteen years ago today, I was the happiest woman alive on earth. I finally met my long-awaited baby.

K-Pop Queens
When we were back in Ipoh during the Deepavali holidays, Alycia and Drama Queen took every opportunity to don on their caps. They seem to have a fetish with caps and have a collection of them but the thing is they hardly have the opportunity to don on their caps in KL. It is only…
Bonding With My Eldest
Every Friday, I have a one-to-one little jaunt with my eldest daughter. After Math tuition, I would drive her to the night market. She loves walking the night market to grab her favorite snacks. We would munch on snacks whilst strolling the road and stop by her favorite stalls which is a very delightful past…
