Cass’ Reading Progress

Today while I was helping Cass to shower, she suddenly remembered something that transpired in kindy in the morning during English lesson. Cass – mummy, do you know teacher A gave me a STAR and a “VERY GOOD” in my reading today!? Me – really? *with face all perked up though I was almost going…

The Lollipop Bribery

Yesterday, our dearest long-time friend – K and her boyfriend brought Alycia and Sherilyn to watch Frozen at Mid Valley Megamall.  After lunch at Little Penang Cafe, while the four of them spent 2 hours at the cinema, Cass and I had our one-to-one time together. From a far, Cass spotted a carousel and bugged…

Smiley Ghosts

I was on the topic of ghosts and spirits with my girls yesterday.  Moments later, Cass asked “mummy, how does a ghost look like?”  I said I didn’t know as I have not seen one before.  Then, she sketched this on her drawing pad and asked “does a ghost look like this?”   I burst out…

Electromagnetic Acupuncture

On top of the daily therapy exercises on the fitball, trampoline, gripping exercise and pelvic floor exercise, Cass went for her first electromagnetic acupuncture session on Tuesday to treat her bladder issue.  Though I have read that acupuncture and electromagnetic acupuncture can be effective in treating weak bladder issues, I am not sure if it…

And Finally, The Report Cards

As the final school term is fast drawing to an end, with just 2 more school days to go, the much awaited report cards came back for tiger mommy to review and sign! Sherilyn brought back her report card yesterday. She also helped to pick up Alycia’s report card from the teacher. Alycia has been…

My Baby Girl

Yesterday evening, Cass insisted on bringing her favorite ‘baby’ with her when I fetched Sherilyn back from the enrichment centre. Her ‘baby’ even shared her safety belt with her in the car. In another year’s time when Cass will be over 6 years old, I know Cass would have probably outgrown her babyish and childish…

Cassandra’s Year-End Kindy Concert

Sherilyn and I attended Cass’ kindy concert yesterday morning. The hubs had to be at his kitchen to prepare for a client’s function and Alycia had to stay home for Mandarin tuition. I had put on make-up for Cass at home.  At the hall, her teacher painted her face.  Cass and her classmates  donned on…

Onions Don’t Make Me Cry, They Make Me Laugh LOL!

Yesterday I was peeling and slicing big onions in the kitchen. Cass came into the kitchen to read  her story book to me.  She’s displayed a great interest in reading lately and has shown a promising improvement 🙂 I told her not to stand too near the chopping board and I said “ONIONS WILL MAKE…

Hair Accessories Galore

With over 1 year of constant nagging and drumming into her head to get ready her school uniform and to lay out her bunch of hair accessories every night, rascal #2 has finally made this a nightly routine. She used to dawdle every morning, by dragging her feet to the cupboard to hunt for her…

Busy Girls

Cass suddenly remembered that she had not yet practised her Ting Xie for the next day. So… …here she was, practising the list of Chinese words whilst eating her dinner. And Alycia was totally immersed in one of her story books, as usual. No. of times viewed = 465

Cassandra’s First Written Journal

Monkey see monkey do.  Alycia and Sherilyn are required to write a daily journal. This is part of my efforts to help them to improve their writing skill, both in BM and English.  Every evening at around 7ish pm, reminders of “Have you written your daily journal?” resonates in the house, without fail.  Alycia has…

Little Devil

This little devil gave me yet another heart-stopping moment  today, plus two yesterday! Yesterday, she ran out from the kitchen, slipped on the slightly wet floor and almost hit her chin hard on the marble table. She scared the sh*t out of the mil and me!  Minutes later, she rolled off the chair and fell…

Cass’ First Foot Massage

The MIL made an appointment for the foot reflexologist to come to our place for a 2-hour foot massage session today and this little rascal was given a free half hour trial session of foot massage!  We had imagined that she would run away but to our surprise, she sat still throughout the session without…

Exam Season Yet Again

It’s the most dreaded time of the year again. This time, I have 3 times the amount of stress as Cass is in her 2nd last year of kindy and has to sit for the twice-yearly exam as well.  Today, I spent my morning doing revision with Cass.  It is a kindy holiday for Cass…

Little Helper

She may be a rascal giving me plenty of hair-pulling moments everyday but when she is good, she can be such a saint who tugs at my heartstrings.  Her latest new found skill since last Friday is choosing fruits and veggies. At the night market last Friday, she did a very good job helping me…
