FollowEach time we go shopping, Cass would ask to window shop at the Lego shop. Lego is something that Cass likes since she was 3 years old, besides jigsaw puzzles. She could spend hours on end absorbed in these two toys and be completely oblivious to her surroundings. The other day I threw a challenge…

Grandma’s Game Partner
The mil is hooked on Rummikub, a best-selling and fascinating board game that she learned to play with my 13-year old nephew when she was in Hong Kong. When my visiting SIL #2 from Hong Kong came to visit recently, she bought a set of Rummikub for the mil from Hong Kong. We were unable to find…
Update On Cassandra’s Appointment With The Urologist at HKL On 4 July 2019
It took me almost half a year to finally secure an appointment for Cass to see Dr Susan, one of the top urologists at HKL. She has a wealth of experience dealing with a myriad of urological disorders from patients young and old. She treats patients not only at HKL but travels all over Malaysia…
Sunday, 5 May 2019
5 May 2019 marks the 10th anniversary of Cassandra’s first surgery – a Uretheral Reimplantation Surgery to fix a Grade 3 Kidney Reflux on the right duplex kidney. That surgery got into an unfortunate complication and despite a battery of X-rays plus a CT-Scan, multiple ultrasound scans and a Fluoroscopy, all the scan images did…
Cassandra’s 11th Birthday
Today is my baby girl’s 11th birthday! Time sure flies like mad!!! The day I lay on my gynae’s procedures room to have an amnio procedure carried out when Cass was around 20+ weeks in utero till today seems like just last year though we had gone through hell and beyond in the first 13…
Just For Laughs
Someone is super duper bored being cooped up at home during the school holidays. She’s got no where to release her Energizer Bunny battery. Whilst checking her school holiday homework (English subject), check out what I found! Initially she wrote a different answer, which was the standard polite answer that it should. Then she erased…
Growth Spurt
Cass after a Chinese New Year celebration in school today: Cass used to love wearing cheongsam and princessy gowns to such events in school but she no longer likes them now. Not even an iota. She tells me very often that she hates dresses, lipstick, make-up and high heels and that she will never ever…
Daily Exercise For Cass
Another activity added into Cass’ daily timetable is exercise. I make her do simple exercises like rope-skipping and floor exercises everyday. Sometimes she does skipping rope challenge with her Alycia che che, who is a pro rope skipper. Alycia can do over a thousand times of rope-skipping in 10-15 minutes. After skipping rope, Cass has…
Cassandra’s Follow-Up Checkups
Cassandra’s Blood Test Report
Today is Cass’ blood test report collection day at the hospital. Dr Eric’s comment as usual was “not too bad”. On the 36 types of allergen test, Cass has no allergies, though the test shows that she has a slight allergy to dust mites. The units of antibodies shown (24) are so minimal that she…
Blood Test
Cass had to do another round of blood test today as the first blood test last week showed two things: 1. She has an allergy. Another test is needed to diagnose what she is allergic to. 2. Her blood looks ‘fatty’ Kidney function, blood sugar, etc look A-OK. The ultrasound scan of her kidneys shows…
The Amazing Race In School
My Weekend (10 – 11 November 2018)
Last weekend was a very tiring one for me with no chance of me stacking up on much Z’s. As usual, this busy mum to 3 active girls have been busy chauffeuring and attending events. I spent my Saturday night at Cass’ school concert. Cass was part of the Ukulele performing team. Can you spot…
Pre-Final Exam Weekend
On Friday, the mil cooked a big pot of pumpkin chicken porridge and a big pot of ‘tau kok lup’ (a dish consisting of long beans, carrots, pork, prawns, preserved radish; all diced) to go with the porridge before leaving KL for Ipoh to attend a wedding dinner. The hubs drove back to Ipoh the…
The Diamond Earring
Cass has a tendency to stumble upon money and jewelry whenever we go out. Maybe she’s overly observant. Or maybe she naturally attracts wealth. *HOPEFULLY* 😉 A few years ago she found a RM50 note when we were at the BSC Shopping Centre car park. Months later, she found RM50 in school and gave the…
Harry Potter Fanatic
Cass turned into a Harry Potter enthusiast early this year. It all started when her classmate loaned her a Harry Potter book. She was instantly hooked to the thick novel. Since then, she was determined to get her hands on the entire Harry Potter series, which consists of 7 books! That would cost over RM300…
