Cass has to do a Biology experiment on food fermentation and she chose to experiment with making sourdough. The yeast was made from scratch using flour and water. After a few days, I woke up one morning to a terrible stench. It smelled like rotten fish, dead animal and socks that have not been washed…

After a month of attending online classes at her new high school (SMK/public school), Cass finally told me that she wanted to switch school – back to the initial high school of her choice, which is a coveted independent Chinese high school (ICHS).

Cass the Assembler of Things

Posted on November 19, 2020 by Shireen

Cass had too much free time at home since there was no online class and piano last week (Deepavali holiday week). To kill boredom, she yanked off all the keys on her keyboard to do a thorough cleaning of the inside. I thought she’d have a hard time putting the keys back but this Lego…

I woke up at 3:15 a.m. today to heat up the meatless Gimbap that Sherilyn prepped for us last night. Then I woke Cass up so that she could have her meal as her last solid meal before the Cystoscopy today is at 4 a.m. I was worried that this brat would push me away…

Today is Cass’ entrance exam at the high school of her choice. This high school (which is Alycia’s high school) is not my choice but some how, I was the one feeling anxious for her while Miss Chillax was as usual unflappable and cool as a cucumber ?‍♀️. I was worried of how she will find…

Health Freak Cass

Posted on October 1, 2020 by Shireen

Lately Cass’ taste buds seem to have evolved. After a recent hospitalization for UTI with strong antibiotics administered intravenously followed by a few days of oral antibiotics and an extremely uncomfortable bout of constipation with IBS recently, her gustatory cells seem to have shifted towards healthier tasting food.
