FollowToday Alycia’s transporter arrived at our condo about half an hour late after school. When I picked her up at the lobby, Alycia who looked dazed said this to me the moment she saw me “mummy, something REALLY BAD happened right in front of my face!” I thought it was those pesky giant ghost moths…

Indoor School Holiday Activity In Ipoh
Alycia who loves reading the newspapers (and just about any reading material, EXCEPT her school books!) found an interesting word search game (Wonderword) from The New Straits Times papers today. In KL I only buy Star newspapers but in Ipoh my parents subscribe to both NST and Star. Alycia then challenged Sherilyn to compete with…

Carelessness Kills!
Alycia got back almost all her first term test papers this week. If this was her UPSR exam, she would have scored all As and would be a straight A student. BUT…. both the Mandarin tutor and I are very disappointed with her marks. Why? CARELESSNESS! I told Alycia that she must have left her…

DIY Survival Skills
For the past three days, our part-time maid was unable to come. The past three days had been hectic, with us busy storing water, carrying pails of water, carrying buckets of semi-clean water (we recycle water that we use to bathe) to flush toilets and doing household chores. School shoes were not washed this week…
I Want To Be A Googler Too!
Alycia has a new ambition now. It is an ambition that is not too difficult to achieve, considering that she is addicted to the computer and she likes to loiter at Google during her free time. All she needs to do now is to study hard, ace in school, college and university. That’s what I…
Alycia’s 10th Birthday
Yesterday was my ‘precious baby’s’ 10th birthday. In the morning, I wanted to pen down a short post in each of my blogs to commemorate the happiest day of my life 10 years ago. But too many things cropped up. I had some crappy moments with my supplier, with some customers and with WORK. I…
Friday Evening Fun
Alycia and I had our Friday evening ‘escapade’ again today. While Sherilyn and Cass were attending art class, we quickly sneaked off to the night market to gobble down a few skewers of fish balls and meat balls on the ‘look look’ van. We did that last Friday and Alycia enjoyed it so much that…
Heart-Shaped Babybel Cheese On Crackers
Today Alycia finally had the time to enjoy her breakfast leisurely without any rush to go to school, tuition, church or anywhere! She took out a Babybel cheese from the fridge and a pack of Meiji crackers and cut the cheese into small pieces for her crackers. Then she called out to me… “mummy look,…
Multi-tasking Story Book Worm
For days, I have noticed Alycia’s novels in the bathroom. Once it was in the shower stall – on the ledge. A few days ago, Cass fished out a wet novel from the bathroom floor which was wet! Boy was I enraged!! I think she fibbed about the part-time helper dropping it onto the floor,…
Would You Allow?
For the first time in my life, I have with much reluctance, allowed my first born to go on a school trip scheduled for next month. Since last year, Alycia has been pestering us to allow her to participate in school trips. I have on all occasions said no due to various reasons. Firstly is…

Alycia’s First Guitar Lesson
Today marks an important day in Alycia’s life. It is a day that she will remember profoundly for the rest of her life as today is her first guitar lesson. After years of talking about learning guitar, I finally chanced upon this guitar teacher exactly a week ago at the lift of our condo. Actually,…
