FollowToday is the last day of the school holidays and Cass has a farewell party to attend at Galactic Laser @ Sunway Pyramid. It’s also 7 more days to her school exam but she is still as cool as a cucumber. One of Cass’ besties since she was 8 years old, D’s last day at…

High School For Cassandra
Our laid back littlest brat whom I thought I’d managed to talk her out of choosing a Chinese Independent High School (same private high school as Alycia) changed her mind when almost three quarter of her classmates applied to get into this school, including her bestie, J. I told the brat that I am not…

Cassandra’s MRU @ Hospital Wanita Dan Kanak-Kanak, KL (HWKKKL)
18 May 2020 – MCO Day 62 (Monday) Hubs drove us to the hospital in the morning for Cass’ MRU procedure. Magnetic resonance urography (MRU) is a radiation-free exam that uses magnetic waves to create detailed pictures of the kidneys, ureters and bladder. It is a radiation-free way to look at the structure and function of…
MCO Day 49 ~ 5 May 2020
MCO Day 23 ~ 9 April 2020
Today is Cassandra’s 12th birthday! It’s another birthday celebration in house quarantine for our family but we are very, very blessed that hubs could still get sumptuous takeout food and cakes for dinner from Red Kettle, our favorite cafe in the neighborhood. This is not the first time that Cass has to spend her birthday…
Update On Cassandra’s Appointment at HKL – 5 March 2020
Chinese New Year 2020 – 8th and 9th Day
Last Saturday, 1 February 2020 was the 8th day of CNY. It was Sherilyn’s Lunar birthday. She was born on the 8th day of CNY 15 years ago. I remember so vividly the thunderous fireworks let out for about half an hour that midnight when I was struggling to breastfeed this fiery infant who suckled…
KL Book Exchange
For the last one year, our avid bookworm has been pestering me to bring her to the book exchange ground at our neighborhood held on the first Sunday of each month. But I never had the time to do it. Firstly, it’s on a Sunday where the girls have Sunday School and Youth Fellowship at…
She Still Cares :)
Emotional Day
The past 3 days have been nothing short of highly emotional for me. My blood was up and my emotions were running high. I was really upset and incensed with someone the past 2 days. And the situation is inexorable. A catch-22 situation. No way out kind of situation. Thankfully I had someone whom I…
Cassandra’s First Field Trip
I was already up at 4:30 a.m. on Saturday to ensure that Cass reaches school by 7 a.m. for her maiden one-day field trip organized by her school for Primary 5 students. Places covered include a soy sauce factory, a theater at The Curve, a Nyonya kuih factory and lunch in Selayang. She’s waited for…
Back To Her Old Self
I’m so relieved that Cass is back to her usual self now. She’s no longer giving me the cold shoulder. Last month on the first day of school after the third term school break, she woke up and morphed into a girl I barely recognized ~ stroppy, surly and extremely moody. And this went on…
Random Updates
The littlest one is back to her usual self finally and we’ve started to have our nightly before bedtime light-hearted chats on the bed once again. But as with most cuddly toddlers who turn into tweens and teenagers, she still greets any public display of warmth with revulsion and sullenness. Grown children do not want…
Dealing With A Difficult Tween
I’ve been feeling a tad melancholic since the start of school on Monday. On the first day of school, my 11-year old found it extremely hard to wake up for school. And when she woke up after much resistance and kicking, she morphed into a totally different person… like someone has just cast a spell…
