Born On The Same Date And Same Year

Jasmine and I had been trying to fix a date for the kids to meet. Shan Rae and Cassandra were born on the same date and same year, thus we were really eager for the two to meet. But each time we fixed a date, something cropped up and the appointment had to be canceled….

Things That Occupy Her

Whenever I am busy with work, Baby will play on her own if her 2 sisters are at school. Some of the things that will keep her occupied are punching papers with a paper puncher, doodling, playing Lego blocks or she will simply climb up to the top of the couch and then slide down…

My Brave Samseng Baby

I have been trying to prepare Baby mentally for the MAG3 scan that she has to go through in April. She had gone through this scan just before her surgeries in April 2009. This procedure looked pretty scary and painful, especially when the doctor inserted the catheter into Baby’s down under and on her hand….

Silence Spells Trouble’s Brewing!

The house is often filled with Baby’s chatter, laughter, cries or screams. When she’s around and there’s silence, I can be rest assured that this fella is up to something that’s a bane in the house, like playing with plasters: And she sure knows how to choose the Disney tattoo plasters over the plain white…

Accident Prone Cassandra

When Sherilyn was 1-3yo, she was very prone to accidents and gave me umpteen heart-stopping moments. Now, the jinx has moved to Baby, sigh…. and she’s very accident prone too. From the moment she was born up until now, she has given me countless near-faint moments. On the day before our trip to Penang, Baby…

Penang Here We Come

We were back in Ipoh yesterday.  In a few hours’ time, we will travel to Penang.  A holiday in Penang for us (twice yearly) is set for us for the next 10 years until Baby turns 12 years old.  She needs to do an ultrasound scan of her kidney twice yearly until she turns 12. …

Habits Are Hard To Die

Habits are hard to die. Remove the letter H, you still have ‘a bit’… remove the letter A, you still have ‘bit’ and remove the letter B, you still have IT!! Baby is having a ‘relapse’ and is back to her addiction of mummy’s boobs several days ago, albeit a mild addiction, which normally spikes…

Withdrawal Symptoms

One of Baby’s boops weaning withdrawal symptoms is that she would refuse to nap in the afternoon. We used to nap together in the afternoon and she would latch on to her comfort tools for comfort sucking and would easily drift into lalaland. Ever since she was weaned off my boops, she would refuse to…

Fascinated With Plasters

I was busy working on the PC and Baby was playing by herself. She went into her mah mah’s bedroom and rummaged through her drawers. Then she ran outside to the living room and sat on the couch. Then there was silence for about 15 minutes. I thought she was watching an interesting TV program…

My Little Acrobat

After 2 weeks of being weaned from my boops, Baby is still suffering from withdrawal symptoms. She has become very rebellious, very whiny and screamy and is resisting everything that I ask her to do… from peeing to napping, sleeping and everything else. Yesterday she woke up from her afternoon nap screaming and then climbed…

Water Baby

Cassandra is another water baby just like Alycia. She loves the pool to bits and is not afraid of the water but sadly, I can’t allow her to swim in the pool. After a post-surgery UTI attack in December last year, which was after a dip in the pool in Hard Rock Hotel Penang, I…

Driving Me Bonkers

Baby is now at the stage where she wants to be independent and wants to do everything herself. She wants to feed herself, dress up herself, shower herself and even clean herself up after she had pooped. Yesterday after pooping in her diaper, she refused to have me clean her up. This fella is driving…
