“Ambil Pepper Kakak, Cheh Cheh Suck Thumb”

At 5 years 5 months, Sherilyn is still a thumb sucker.  She sucks her thumb when she’s sleepy, bored and when she’s in front of the tellie.  Each time we see her happily sucking her thumb away, we will reprimand her but she couldn’t be bothered, sigh!!   Recently, my mil would threaten to put pepper…

Baby Loves Swimming

I cannot tell you how much Baby loves swimming. Each time she sees her 2 jie jies swim at the pool, she will run to the drawer and pull out her jie jies’ old swim suits and put it on herself. Then she will plead with us to bring her along. But I am not…

Shunning The Potty

Of my 3 girls, Baby is the latest to be potty trained. Alycia was the earliest and easiest to potty train.  As for Baby, I keep procrastinating potty training her, plus I just can’t find the time. Baby has a pretty weird habit. She would only poo poo in her diaper and in the weirdiest way…

Nightmare Came Alive!

This morning, my nightmare (which is every mother’s nightmare) came alive for me… at the coffee shop.  I was having breakfast with the hubs, Baby and the helper.  I was busy chatting with the hubs and my helper was busy eating her food.  Baby was seated on double stacked up plastic chairs – in between my helper…

Silence Spells Trouble!

Whenever I don’t hear my rambunctious cili padi singing or babbling, I better go and look for her and check out what she’s up to. Silence spells something is brewing somewhere!! I was busy tapping my fingers on the computer keyboard when I suddenly felt something amiss. Why is the house so quiet all of…

My Little Earnest Helpers

During this school term break, my 3 girls have been helping me out at my online store.  I have delegated some tasks to them, which they took on without any complaints and completed them with much enthusiasm 😀 Alycia is really good with sticking the dockets onto the Pos Laju flyer bags. This task is…

Not Raring To Go Home

Our loot from Penang and Ipoh, all lined up on the floor of the living room at my parents, waiting to be loaded into the car boot.  We bought so much stuff that hub’s car boot was filled almost to the top!  Not in the pix were 4 packs of diapers (super cheap in Ipoh Tesco) and 3…

All Is Well!

Everything went well at the hospital today.  The ultrasound scan went without a glitch, though Baby bawled and fussed initially but when she realized that it didn’t hurt, she quietly saw her ‘pictures’ on the ‘TV’.  That’s what we told her – that the doctor was taking pix of her kidneys and that she could watch them on…

Don’t Take My Shampoo!

One of Baby’s pet peeves is that her 2 jie jies cannot take the shampoo that she uses! My 2 older girls prefer to shower in the master bedroom bathroom while I prefer to shower Baby in the other bathroom. I have forbidden my 2 older girls to use liquid body shampoo as they play with…

Our Sunday

Today is another typical Sunday – morning in church and after church, off we went for lunch. Our initial plan was to have Italian’s at Marco’s, Bangsar Village but ended up having a joy ride round PJ looking for other food… and all the kids in the car complaining of being famished! We finally settled for Chinese food at…

Sleeping Child

See how comfy Baby is here snuggled up like a little pup with its mummy… with her little head resting on daddy’s big fat thigh.  I was quietly dressing up in the room one morning at around 6:45am, ready to go for my daily morning run but when I saw this, I just had to snap…

Naughty Jie Jie Cut My Face With A Scissors!

Rascal #2 cut Baby’s face with a pair of scissors early this week. I was in the toilet and suddenly, I heard Baby screaming and crying. I rushed out and rascal #2 said this “I tried to take away the scissors from Baby and I accidentally cut her face“. I don’t know if she was…

When Mommy Is Too Busy…

…. this fella will sapu everything she fancies from the kitchen drawers and cabinets and plays masak-masak with them…. she will even put them all into her potty as if it were a wash basin.  I felt like screaming my throat out when I saw those spoons inside the potty but but but, if she…

Rude Shock

I was jolted up from bed at around 4am this morning when I heard a thud sound followed by Baby’s wail. She had fallen off our king sized bed!! My reflex action was amazingly quick. At the immediate sound of her cries, I jumped right up from bed, carried her up, gave her a hug and offered…

Of Veggie, Fruits And Sweet Corns

Baby who used to love eating veggie when she was younger has now turned her back on the greens. She only eats selected veggie and even this, I have to cut the greens up into real tiny pieces and conceal them with her food so that she doesn’t see anything green amongst the rice or…

I Only Share My Chair With You

Baby has always been closer to Alycia than with Sherilyn. Ever since Alycia started attending primary school, she has lesser time to play with Baby. She’s in school most of the time. Even when she’s at home, she is always busy with her homework and will be in bed by 9pm. In fact, Alycia hardly…
