2 years ago, we celebrated our wedding anniversary in the pediatric ward of Penang GMC. It was a happy day for hubs and me, though Alycia and Sherilyn were not with us. It was the day Baby was given the green light to be discharged from the hospital after a 3-week stay. 2 years later,…

Kids Say The Darndest Things
This has been our regular conversation these days. Baby always tells me that she wants to be a mummy when she grows up and has many children :O Baby – mummy, when I grow up I want to be a mummy… Me – and I will be a granny if you become a mummy! Baby…
Cassandra’s 2nd Year Post Surgery
Today marks the 2nd year my Baby was operated on. Exactly 2 years ago today marks the change in our lives, change for the better, though the 3-week stay in the hospital was a nightmare where everything that could go wrong went wrong. Hubs was hospitalized on the day of Baby’s surgery on suspicion of…
Awesome Website For Kids To Learn ABCs, Colors, Shapes, Time-Telling, Spelling
Mumsgather recently introduced this awesome website to me. Baby has since been hooked on this website. She plays with my laptop almost everyday and now, she hops straight to Literacy Center to learn her ABCs and spelling! Literacy Center teaches toddlers and pre-schoolers ABCs, 123s, colors, shapes, time telling and much more. It’s the next…
Cassandra’s Post Operation MAG3 Scan
Baby’s post operation MAG3 scan of her urinary tract went almost without a hitch on Friday. My motherly instinct was right. Baby was very, very, very brave for she did not let out any cry or whine during the 20-minute IV insertion session on her hand. First the doctor poked her hand with the IV…
Jig Saw Puzzle Buff
Knowing that she’s a jig saw puzzle aficionado, Baby received jig saw puzzles as birthday pressie for her 3rd birthday recently. The jig saw puzzles were all educational ones, which came in all sizes and fashion: Huge alphabet jig saw to help her learn her ABCs … Spelling jig saw, which is more suitable for…
Cassandra Is 3 Today!
My baby girl is 3YO today! We have been out from 8am and just got back. Now I have a pile of work to complete so this is just going to be a very short post… with more pix of our celebration with her in the next few days to come. We spent the whole…
Little Earnest Teacher
Sherilyn’s mood will normally be lifted after an outdoor activity or after engaging in some activities that she likes. When she’s in a good mood, she will dutifully bring out her homework and Math work books to start working on them. Or she will teach her baby sister ABCs and 123s! She can be very…
Choosing Her Birthday Cake
My baby girl will turn 3YO on Saturday. 2 days ago, we brought her to the bakery for her to choose her birthday cake. For weeks, this fella has been telling us that she wanted a red Telly Tubby cake. There was a period of time when she was obsessed with Telly Tubbies and would…
My Under-aged Store Assistant
Here is my grossly under-aged store assistant and she is not even three yet. She now knows how to help me separate the Pos Laju consignment notes into 2, which requires a degree of dexterity, something which sometimes my 2 older girls have trouble doing. I was really impressed when she insisted that she wanted…
Cili’s Padi’s Conversation
Yesterday evening, Baby was reluctant to finish her dinner. So I used my most-effective tactic to get her to finish her food…. by asking either one of her sisters to eat her food! It works 100% of the time! When Alycia ate a spoonful of her rice, Baby bawled! For the next 15 minutes, she…
Kids Say The Darndest Things – Part 2
Today while we were in the bathroom taking our shower together again, I asked Baby yet again what she’s going to give me for my birthday. Yesterday she told me that she will buy me a water tumbler. Today, she told me that she will buy me a handkerchief so that I could wipe my…
Kids Say The Darndest Things
Baby and I take our shower together everyday. While drying her up after the shower just now, this was our conversation: Me – Baby, it’s mummy’s birthday very soon. What are you going to give mummy? Baby – a surprise! Flowers… party packs… Me – oh really?? And what else? Are you going to buy…
My Tough Little Cookie
As the day for Baby to do a post surgery MAG 3 scan is drawing nearer, I am getting more anxious. I have started once again to prepare her mentally for the procedure and to remove any fear that is in her as the procedure will be a traumatizing and painful one (painful when the…
Baby’s Latest Jig Saw Puzzle Fixing Prowess
Being the 1st child, I spent the most time reading and playing with Alycia when she was a baby. Next was Sherilyn. I spent the least time reading and playing with Baby. Because of her medical condition since birth until she was 15 months old (after the surgeries to fix her problem), we spent a…
My Cili Padi
The idiot box is not completely an idiotic box as my girls are learning many new words from watching TV programs. But if I am not careful with their selection of TV programs, it’s akin to allowing them to play with fire. One vulgar sentence that they have picked up from the tellie is “what…
