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,…
Alycia definitely has her daddy’s artistic DNA. It just comes naturally to her and her passion for drawing is boundless. If I would allow it, she can spend the entire day cooped up in her room drawing and reading. She seems to love drawing mystical objects and creatures as well as caricature. However, she has…
Of my three girls, Alycia is the most finicky when it comes to food. While Sherilyn and Cass will wallop everything that I cook and often leave lots of compliments on how nice the food taste, it is truly a challenge to please my eldest, whom I think has inherited her foodie daddy’s pernickety taste…
It’s been almost 2 years and Alycia is still not through with her craze over the mouse series, Geronimo Stilton. She also favors Wimpy Kid, Enid Blyton, Famous Five, Ronald Dahl, Helen Moss, James Lee and any type of manga and comics. Well, basically this girl just loves to read books and magazines except her…
The big girl had a major meltdown this morning from 6am right through to lunch time! I had blogged that her fever had subsided yesterday but at around 6ish pm, her temperature shot up to 38.6 degrees Celsius again but she was not feeling uncomfortable. She felt pretty normal and had pretty good appetite. Only…
….which spells trouble for any mummy! Alycia has been running a high temperature (up to 39.4 degrees Celsius) since Friday evening. What’s worrying this quack doctor mummy is that she shows almost no symptoms, except for a slight phlegmy throat. Alycia is also complaining of dizziness, headache and generally feeling malaise with not much appetite….
On the eve of Alycia’s BM test early last week, I suddenly remembered that I had not gone through ‘Nilai Murni’ (which literally means pure values if translated directly from BM to English using Google Translate. It is all the good values that one should possess ) with her. And my cool as cucumber daughter…
Not even 15 minutes into revising for her exam and she’s already conked out! That’s the problem with this girl of mine. She is the type who requires lots of sleep. Should she be asked to do homework or anything that requires using her brainpower when she is sleep or nap deprived, I am sure…
Without rice for a day, Alycia would be like a fish out of water. If there’s sandwiches or porridge served for lunch, I am rest assured to see a sulky pot sitting at the dining table, flipping the newspapers with a black face while forcing the food down her throat. On Thursdays, Alycia and Sherilyn…
… yesterday afternoon when I saw Alycia’s badly grazed knee and palm. The moment Alycia and Sherilyn came back from school, Sherilyn was quick to announce “mummy, che che’s knee has BLOOD! She fell down!” I rushed out from the kitchen to inspect Alycia’s knee and when I saw the fresh wound on her knee,…
