Cassandra Says The Darndest Things

Out of tiredness caring for 3 demanding girls today, on top of supervising an on-going renovation in the kitchen plus having to deal with some difficult customers, I said this to Baby: Me – I am so so tired you know? I wish I were a princess and don’t have to do any work but…

Casting A Spell On Her Che Che!

Baby was bickering with her eldest che che over some trivial matters. When the squabble got out of hand, Baby took out her toy magic wand and ‘casted a spell’ on her che che like a witch… “Magic wand, TURN HER INTO A FROG NOW, TING!” and chanted this ‘spell’ several times until I burst…

Don’t Be A Lazy Bum!

On normal days, I hardly have the time to sit in front of the TV or have the time to eat leisurely or do I have the time to do the things that I really like to do. Life for me is extremely hectic on normal days. My day starts at 5:45am and I can…

Kids Say The Darndest Things

This is a long overdue post as this hilarious incident happened about 3 weeks ago when we were in Ipoh. I had given Cass a piece of paper and a pencil so that she could draw while I took my shower. When I came out from the bathroom and asked her what she was drawing,…

Tons of Patience

Of my 3 girls, I think Cassandra has the most patience or should I say, she has the longest attention span in whatever she does. She also has nimble fingers and likes fixing things like jig saw puzzles, building stuff with Lego blocks and today I found out that she is also a handy-girl! Just…

Cute Things She Says

Out of stress and jadedness, I said this to Baby… Me – baby girl, I am so so tired working. I wish we had lots and lots of money so that I don’t need to work anymore… Baby – I can give you my money… ALL my money in my piggy-bank if you want! Me…

Throes of Being A WFHM

During the school holidays, my blood pressure is often higher. Being cooped up at home with the kids 24/7 is NOT fun… especially for a work-from-home-mum. I get pressure from all corners all the time – from some very demanding and fussy customers, from suppliers, from the kids, personal/family matters and from the helper.  Many…

A Special Attachment To My Boobies

After over 2.5 years of seeking comfort and satisfaction from hunger pangs from my boobies, my 3.5YO baby girl is still not completely over and done with with my boobies. Unlike Alycia and Sherilyn who were pretty easily weaned off and forgotten with my boobies, my baby girl is still missing her comfort tools though…

Off To Ipoh And Penang!

We are off to Ipoh today to my parents’ for our usual year end holiday. This is the only time that we can spend at least a week in Ipoh. The girls are so looking forward to spend time with goong goong and granny to do all the fun things with them. Tomorrow we will…

Caught Red Handed By My 3.5YO Girl!

I had finished the last drop of baby oil but was feeling too lazy to find a plastic bag to store the empty bottle, to be placed in the recycling bin in the evening. So I conveniently threw it into the bin where we throw general rubbish. Before I dumped the empty oil bottle into…

X’mas Colors Inspired Straws

My baby girl now looks forward to milky time coz she gets to choose her straw. Her daddy, who is an Ikea fan-see bought a few packs of straws with X’mas inspired colors for his catering functions and I hijacked one pack for my straw-craze baby girl, who uses up to 3 straws in a…

Self Learning From The iPad2

My little cili padi learns the ABCs and 123s from the iPad2 regularly. Before she is allowed to play other games, she knows she has to first go through her ‘online learning’. Take your love of working with children to a career in early childhood development with www.onlineclasses.net. Yesterday she went an extra mile. At…

Durian King

It’s all in the genes. This little rascal loves durian to bits and so do her 2 che ches. No one in the family dislikes durian. Whenever it’s the durian season, there will surely be boxes of durians stashed in the fridge. That will be my breakfast everyday until the supply of durian in the…

Learning A New Word Everyday

She learned yet another new word yesterday, which is ‘anti-dote’. During the day when I am busy at work, my baby girl will draw, write, learn from the iPad2 and laptop and watch TV. For the past few days, she is hooked on Barbie. She watches the Barbie DVDs over and over again but it…

Baby and Alycia

They must have been twins or lovers in their previous lives, if there is really such a thing as previous life. She misses her baby sister very much every day when she’s away in school. Each morning before she leaves the house, she will give her baby sister a hug and pinch her cheeks. I…
