Both my older girls attended 4 years of pre-school. Alycia started pre-school just after her 3rd birthday and Sherilyn at 3.5 years old. Sherilyn is in her last year of pre-school this year. For Baby, I’ve decided to delay sending her to pre-school until she turns 4yo next year. If you are a die-hard reader…

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….
Bad Case Of Being Stung By Cili Padi
Baby was weaned off my breasts about a month ago. But she had a relapse of the boobies! Though she no longer needed the boobs to help her fall asleep at night, funnily she still needed them to lull her to sleep in the afternoon. Then the addiction started to intensify and she would climb…
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…
Cassandra’s 4th Post Ureteral Reimplantation Surgery Ultrasound Scan
We had to make 2 trips to the hospital this time as the ultrasound scan report was not ready yesterday. Thus my anxiousness was protracted. I never like the feeling of waiting for reports or results. It makes me sick. Baby was mighty brave this time. Albeit the long wait for the radiologist to come…
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…
Cassandra’s First Night Of Sleeping Without Mummy Next To Her
For the first time in her life last night, Baby slept without me next to her. I have been drumming into her head lately, trying to brainwash her to sleep with her 2 jie jies, so that she can give us back our privacy and freedom…. free from having a kicking baby sleeping with us….
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…
