Alycia – Page 7 – HEALTH FREAK MOMMY

Just For Laughs

Posted on February 20, 2017May 6, 2017 by Shireen

For the second time, the big girl had the itch in her butt to sit on those kiddie rides again, ha! ? She must have missed being a toddler again. Guess she wanted to feel nostalgic being a little child again and at the same time, amuse us with her antics. We were at Gardens…

Cass Goes Up The Stage

Posted on November 24, 2016March 20, 2018 by Shireen

Hubs and I were in school this morning to cheer on our baby girl who went up the stage to receive a trophy. The top ten students from standard 1 through 6 in the academic year get to receive a trophy. Mighty proud of our baby girl 🙂 🙂 After we left school, hubs and…

Alycia Learns Tennis

Posted on November 15, 2016August 21, 2017 by Shireen

Yesterday was Alycia’s much-awaited first tennis lesson. She’s been longing to learn tennis for a long, long time. I finally asked the coach’s wife (who is a Japanese) about the lessons when I bumped into her in the morning last week. A date for the first lesson was set. The big girl was super duper…

School Holiday – Day 6

Posted on June 5, 2016June 3, 2017 by Shireen

Yesterday was a maid-less day yet we did quite a bit at home. Since it’s a school holiday and I have been getting sufficient sleep, I had the energy to clean up and wash up after cooking breakfast and dinner. After a day’s outing, we got home and the girls spent the entire evening helping…

It’s Alycia’s 12th Birthday Today!

Posted on December 5, 2015April 5, 2017 by Shireen

My precious baby turns 12 today! The day I found out that the IUI fertility treatment that hubs and I went through together was a success (i.e. we conceived Alycia) and the day I first saw Alycia 12 years ago today were the happiest days in my life! There are no celebrations lined up today…

Our Monday – 23 November 2015 (A Full Day Out At The Malls)

Posted on November 23, 2015April 5, 2017 by Shireen

Just realized that I have not updated this blog for almost 4 days! Why? School holidays!! That’s why apart from the 2-3 hours of extra of sleep that I get each day, I have fewer hours for myself and for work each day throughout the school holidays. Today, I spent the entire day at Mid…

UPSR Results And Close Of Primary Chapter

Posted on November 17, 2015November 18, 2015 by Shireen

And so today is the day that Alycia and I have been waiting anxiously for over 2 months. Today is the day that the UPSR exam is released. I am sure you are waiting impatiently for this posting too, eh? 😉 I did not expect too much from Alycia in this UPSR exam. I did…

Our Saturday – 13 Sept 2015

Posted on September 13, 2015September 13, 2015 by Shireen

It’s the first Saturday post UPSR exam. Alycia finally gets to join us for breakfast and then grocery shopping. For the past 9 months, her Saturdays were spent in school from 7am till 3pm. Life was grueling for these 11-12 year olds. They were drilled to score straight As. I don’t like this kind of…

What A Night!

Posted on August 13, 2015August 13, 2015 by Shireen

Ever since we moved in to our condo 7 years ago, there was hardly a power outage. Well, maybe twice or thrice in 7 years. Last night was just one of those unlucky nights. We were all in the midst of doing our things when bang, the house went into darkness. My poor Alycia who…

Project Sunday – 2 August 2015

Posted on August 3, 2015August 3, 2015 by Shireen

Lately, the girl’s school teachers have been giving out quite a number of mini projects to the class (Primary 6). The kids in her class use each project as a good opportunity to have mini gatherings. The project yesterday was held at our place again — the second in 2 weeks! They enjoyed themselves at…

Conversation On Bang Bang Over Dinner

Posted on June 23, 2015June 23, 2015 by Shireen

At the dining table over dinner today, the song “Bang Bang” by Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj was played on the radio. The girls sang along as they ate dinner. Alycia – mummy, do you know what “bang bang” means actually? Me (acting dumb) – yeah… bang bang with a gun like this…

Looking At Life Through Rose-Tinted Glasses

Posted on June 11, 2015June 11, 2015 by Shireen

While in Ipoh last weekend, the girls and I, along with my dad had a long walk around the neighborhood in the evening. We stopped outside a few houses to play with and pat other people’s dogs 😀 This is something that we don’t always do in KL. The girls’ schedules are pretty much filled…

Cool As Cucumber

Posted on May 22, 2015May 22, 2015 by Shireen

It’s already 9:30pm and the big girl started to work on her school Kemahiran Hidup (Living Skills) project. She whipped out a screwdriver from daddy’s tool box and began to assemble the project item – which is a wooden tool box. Then, she painted the tool box. I wanted to strangle her for doing her…

Of Exams and Results – IQ or EQ Is More Important?

Posted on April 21, 2015April 21, 2015 by Shireen

As the girls grow, I tend to be less uptight in their exam results. I used to have a hangup and obsession with test results, placing emphasis especially on Alycia as I know that she can be groomed to excel. Lately, I have learned to let go. I don’t revise with her anymore. She prefers…

Holding My Mind Ransom

Posted on March 29, 2015March 30, 2015 by Shireen

Kids these days are super manipulative. With access to online social media platforms, the internet and the newspapers, my 12-year old knows more than I do sometimes. After all, she has more free time on hand to read during her leisure time whereas my free time is like just ten minutes a day – when…

Mega Lego Holiday Project – Phase 2 Completed

Posted on December 3, 2014 by Shireen

Finally two of the three shophouses are completed after 10 days – tadaaa….. The girls stopped work for 2 days, resumed construction again today and completed the second 3-storey shophouse just a few hours ago. Now, with just 1 day left before their long 3 weeks break, I wonder if they can promise their grandma…
