Caught Red Handed By My 3.5YO Girl!

Posted on December 2, 2011December 2, 2011 by Shireen

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

Posted on November 27, 2011November 27, 2011 by Shireen

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

Posted on November 17, 2011March 30, 2012 by Shireen

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

Posted on November 3, 2011 by Shireen

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

Posted on November 2, 2011November 1, 2011 by Shireen

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

Posted on October 28, 2011October 28, 2011 by Shireen

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…

You Look Like An Owl Che Che!

Posted on October 20, 2011October 20, 2011 by Shireen

Alycia has been bugging me to trim her hair but busy mummy kept forgetting. Chinese schools are pretty strict with discipline and physical tidiness. If you want long hair – bun it up neatly. If not, make sure the back of your hair does not touch the collar. Duh, what a rule! Anyway, thank God…

Why Mummy?

Posted on October 17, 2011October 16, 2011 by Shireen

Yesterday, Baby asked me a question which stumped me and had me lost for an answer. Baby – mummy, which is it when people do boxing, they put something white white like bread in the mouth? For a moment, my brain could not process what my 3.5yo toddler was trying to ask me but after…

She Talks

Posted on October 13, 2011October 13, 2011 by Shireen

This morning after her shower, she stepped onto a strand of long hair on the bathroom floor. As she struggled to pull away the the hair that was entwined on her toes, she said “mummy, the hair likes me a lot” and then said “hair is rambut, right mummy?”. My baby girl, she is still…

Sick puppy

Posted on October 3, 2011October 3, 2011 by Shireen

My little sick puppy is the most resilient pupper ever, just like she has always been. She survived 3 surgeries, did not shed a drop of tear when the doctor inserted an IV catheter into her hand 3 months ago for a MAG3 scan and now, she bounced back after ‘being away’ for 2 days….

Master Of Electronic Gadgets

Posted on September 27, 2011September 28, 2011 by Shireen

Early this year when she just turned 3YO, she mastered the laptop. Months later, she mastered the iPad2. Now, this cili padi has mastered the Astro remote control coz she has finally recognized her numbers! This afternoon, I got a big surprise from her when she switched the channel from 855 (the TV is always…

My 3YO Out-Talking Me

Posted on September 22, 2011 by Shireen

Over lunch just now, my 3YO rascal was jumping up and down her chair at the dining table. Her 6.5YO che che was no better. She was hanging on the table like a primate. I was almost going to blow my top to see them behaving like that. Me – hey you two, stop jumping…

Am I Cute?

Posted on September 21, 2011 by Shireen

Recently, Baby found this very old owl mask that we got from an Enfagrow milk booth months or perhaps years ago. Each time she puts on the mask, she will come up to me, tap on my leg and say this “am I cute now mummy?” and then gives me her cutest, sweetest grin. And…

I Told You Not To Put In Your Computer?

Posted on September 13, 2011September 13, 2011 by Shireen

…. continuation from my post yesterday on My 3 Year Old Samseng dated 12 Sept 2011… This morning, Baby saw her picture on the computer and she snapped at me… Baby – I told you not to put in your FACEBOOK?? Me – I did not put in my Facebook. This is my blog! Baby…

My 3YO Samseng

Posted on September 12, 2011September 12, 2011 by Shireen

Funny conversations with Cassandra: I like to carry Baby, though she is already 3years 5 months. As I lifted her and carried her on my hip yesterday….. Me – baby, I love to carry you. You are so skinny and I can still carry you like a little puppy. Next year when you are 4…

Environmentally Conscious 3YO Girl

Posted on September 2, 2011September 15, 2011 by Shireen

My 3YO daughter who makes me proud. She never fails to leave empty milk boxes, Vitagen bottles, plastic punnet after finishing her cherry tomatoes and empty shampoo bottles into the bag for recycling empty bottles in the wet kitchen. And I better not let her see me throw papers away with a clean reverse side,…
