Peeling Stinky Beans

Posted on April 30, 2014July 8, 2014 by Shireen

Cass earnestly and diligently at work, helping grandma to remove the stinky beans from the pod and then peeled off the skin. And she completed the entire job all by herself! This I really have to give her a pat on her back. I have absolutely no patience for this kinda boring task….

Cassandra’s 6th Birthday – 9 April 2014

Posted on April 9, 2014July 8, 2014 by Shireen

This year will be the final year Cass gets to celebrate her birthday in school with her classmates. When she goes to primary school next year, it is serious business, seriously no birthday celebrations in class, what more in a Chinese school. What to do, hubster is 101% resolute that all his kids MUST go…

Here’s my baby girl on the eve of turning 6. Yes SIX finally! God, please bless this very adorable fighter who is the light of my life. This afternoon after school, her daddy and I brought her to the bakery, for her to choose the design for her birthday cake. She requested for a birthday…

My Baby Girl

Posted on March 11, 2014 by Shireen

Cass’ morning ritual is to drink a glass of yoghurt drink before she sits on the throne, brushes her teeth, takes a quick shower and off she goes to kindy. This morning, as with other mornings, she dilly dallied a wee bit. Before I went into the bathroom to shower, I told her to quickly…

Cassandra’s 1st Appointment With Nephrologist & Urologist at HKL

Posted on February 14, 2014February 14, 2014 by Shireen

Yesterday was the first time I stepped foot into the grounds of HKL (Hospital KL), the place that has always given me the creeps each time I pass by this building. When I was working in the HR Dept of a bank yonks ago, our HR Manager and Assistant Managers would visit staff who were…

All Things Tutu

Posted on January 18, 2014January 18, 2014 by Shireen

I have always loved tutus. I’ve always wanted a tutu dress when I was a kid but never had the opportunity to own one. Now that I have 3 girls, of which two are tutu lovers, I cannot be happier to buy them tutu dresses and tutu skirts. In Sherilyn and Cass’ wardrobe, they have…

Cass’ Reading Progress

Posted on January 15, 2014January 16, 2014 by Shireen

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

Posted on December 12, 2013 by Shireen

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

Posted on December 10, 2013 by Shireen

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

Posted on November 22, 2013November 22, 2013 by Shireen

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

Posted on November 13, 2013November 13, 2013 by Shireen

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

Posted on October 31, 2013October 31, 2013 by Shireen

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

Posted on October 13, 2013October 13, 2013 by Shireen

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!

Posted on October 11, 2013October 13, 2013 by Shireen

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

Posted on October 10, 2013 by Shireen

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

Posted on September 15, 2013September 15, 2013 by Shireen

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
