Seventh Anniversary Of Cassandra’s Surgeries

Posted on May 5, 2016May 6, 2016 by Shireen

I have been telling myself that I ain’t going to post about the anniversary of Cass’ surgeries in my blogs anymore. It is still painful for me to look back at the pictures and read those May 2009 blog postings. But I just can’t help thinking about what we went through on 5 May 2009…

Posting A Letter By Snail Mail

Posted on May 2, 2016June 2, 2017 by Shireen

It’s been donkey yonkey years since I last posted a letter by snail mail by slotting the letter into a post box by the roadside. With the advent of the email, Whatsapp, courier, fax and office boy service, we hardly need to get down to the post box to post a mail. Cass misses her…

Cassandra’s Ice Bucket Challenge

Posted on April 28, 2016May 8, 2017 by Shireen

Look what I found in the freezer today! A handful of Shopkins shopping baskets filled with tap water. This cheeky brat loves filling up containers and toys of all shapes and sizes with water and have them frozen. I always get surprises when I open the freezer door! She says she likes experimenting with things….

Treating UTI Naturally With Hydrogen Water

Posted on April 6, 2016June 8, 2017 by Shireen

I got a scare of my life on Tuesday morning (yesterday). It was around 1-ish a.m. and I heard a knock on my room door. I stumbled out of bed groggily with my heart thumping. The mil was standing outside and she told me that Cass had woken up on her own to pee. This…

April’s Fool Friday – 1 April 2016

Posted on April 1, 2016May 31, 2017 by Shireen

When no one has the time or mood to play board games with Cass, she will bug her grandma 😀 Thankfully grandma is ever so sporting and willing to entertain this Energizer bunny. Grandma would do anything to stop this little girl from getting hooked on electrical gadgets. I have the same sentiments too but…

Kids Say The Wittiest Things

Posted on March 15, 2016 by Shireen

A few nights ago, in my bedroom. I was having a bad menstrual stomach cramp and was lying on the bed, applying peppermint essential oil on my tummy. When I let out a cough, the strain sent a sudden piercing pain to my abdomen. I cringed in pain, turn to my left side in a…

No More Fever, YAY!!

Posted on March 2, 2016June 8, 2017 by Shireen

Cass’ high fever has finally subsided today, Praise The Lord! 🙂 Just now… Cass – mummy, I am going to be so left behind in class. Me – it’s ok. I can revise with you at home. And so here she is, sipping Izumio while doing some test papers that I printed for her. Just…

High Fever (Above 40 Degrees Celsius)

Posted on March 1, 2016May 3, 2017 by Shireen

As I pulled Cass up from bed yesterday morning, I felt like I was holding a burning log on my bare hands. I asked her if she felt unwell but she said no. She was really looking forward to going to school as she was to receive her trophy for a drawing contest that she won…

Scenes At Home On A Saturday

Posted on February 29, 2016February 17, 2017 by Shireen

This is why I call her Miss Drama Queen! It was only a regular painting homework but knowing that Tiger Mummy will blow her top if she left stains of paint anywhere, this was what she did. She even wrapped up the chair legs and stool with newspapers. Check out the laptop too. This is totally…

Update On Cass’ UTI & Incontinence – 26 January 2016

Posted on January 26, 2016April 5, 2017 by Shireen

Sorry for the long silence. As I have mentioned in one of my earlier posts, if you do not see any update in my blogs for more than 3 days, I am either suffocating in my busyness or there has been a crisis at the home front. This time, it’s both the reasons again and…

Update On Cass’ UTI – 20 January 2016

Posted on January 20, 2016January 21, 2016 by Shireen

This morning Cass told me that the pain level at her bladder region is at 0.5/10 and by evening, it is zero pain, woohoo!! Am praying fervently now that the pain does not return tomorrow. I’ll still be keeping Cass at home tomorrow to allow her urinary tract to heal completely before she goes back…

First Day Of School – 4 January 2016

Posted on January 4, 2016April 11, 2017 by Shireen

On the first day of school today, everything went pretty smoothly 🙂 I was a tad insomniac though. I guess I was paranoia that I could not hear my alarm clock and mobile phone alarm ringing at 4:45am. At around 3ish am, I heard the sound of a newborn baby crying its lungs out, all…

Cass’ Progress In A Chinese Primary School

Posted on November 12, 2015November 13, 2015 by Shireen

My baby girl made me proud again. She did pretty well in her recent final exam. With this, she is going to the elite class next year. Starting from next year, there will only be 1 elite class for each standard in the school. The rest of the students will be placed randomly in the…

Cass Is Discharged From The Hospital

Posted on November 3, 2015June 20, 2017 by Shireen

After 3 nights 4 days, Cass is finally ‘discharged’ from the hospital! Since Friday last week, I felt like I have been in a bad dream. My day would start very early (even on weekends). I had to complete some chores before leaving the house at 9 am for the hospital for Cass’ 1st antibiotic…

Cass Has UTI

Posted on November 2, 2015November 2, 2015 by Shireen

Sorry for the long silence here. Whenever you don’t see any update here for more than 3 days, I must be either drowned in work or a crisis must have had happened. Or both. This time, it’s both. Cass has urinary tract infection (UTI) and is admitted. It’s her first UTI in 5.5 years. It…

Heartwarming Stories From Cass

Posted on September 3, 2015September 3, 2015 by Shireen

Cass suddenly remembered today that some time back, one of her classmates told their class teacher during lesson that “Cassandra’s mummy is very beautiful!” Suddenly, I felt light. I felt I had wings emerging from the sides of my hands! Me – so were you happy and proud? Cass – yeeeess Me – and what…
