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…
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…
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…
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…
Going through the throes of motherhood, often times my girls will drive me to the point of breaking down with thoughts of packing my bags and ditching them for good! When the girls, especially the littlest one was in her rascal temperament and being very disobedient last week… Me – I will leave you all…
As we bid bye-bye to Rainbow Loom and welcome Secret Garden into our daily lives, I can’t help but wonder how long the Secret Garden adult coloring book bubble will last before it bursts! My girls were crazy over Rainbow Loom for slightly less than a year. I don’t know what to do with their…
Cassandra’s typical weekday afternoon… Homeworking and sipping on Izumio. Once homework is done, I will go through her list of spelling, ejaan and ting xie with her. Next is piano practise and then she can watch Astro’s TV IQ program for an hour or do drawing or craft. Sometimes I will bring her to the…
What makes Cass really happy when she comes home from school is finding her favorite food sitting inside the fridge waiting for her to dig into 😀 She would scream out in excitement and without even washing her hands, she would tear open the ‘treasure’ and lay her dirty hands on them, much to my hollering…
I think 5th May will always be an inauspicious day for me. In fact, the month of May has never been kind to me. Last year at around this time, I went through a harrowing experience when the dentist extracted my tooth (positioned abnormally in my gums). That was the most frightening experience for me…
Cass learning musical notes from flash cards that teacher K made. Cass is being taught musical notes based on do-re-mi rather than ABCs. Yesterday teacher K flashed the musical notes cards at an alarmingly fast speed, as part of the training in teaching her to do speed sight reading. Cass managed to read…
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…
