FollowI had an appointment to meet Cass’ class teacher this morning. It’s not a good thing when you’re called to see your kid’s teacher. I was actually expecting to be called to meet the class teacher as Cass has changed a lot lately. Negatively. She is almost totally opposite from what she used to be…

Cassandra Decoded
Today has been an exciting day. I finally decoded why my baby girl has morphed into a vomit-blood inducing kid since late last year. The more I spend time with her, the closer I was to decoding this enigmatic child. And this evening, the enigma was decoded! After her shower in the afternoon, Cass was…
Busy Week
The entire last week was a busy week for everyone ~ hubs with his back-to-back catering events, Alycia with tests every other day in preparation for the PT3 and UEC exams in 2 months in addition to PT3 History and Geography projects, Drama Queen with homework, tuition and church activity, Cass with exam revision and…
Exam Fever
Thai cave boys fever is over, so is football fever. In comes exam fever now and this fever takes years away from my life, prematurely! This girl is a vomit-blood inducing kid. I kid you not. She wasn’t like this when she was much younger. She was the cute as a button, obedient, angelic little…
Squishy Craze
In case you’re still living in a fidget spinner or slime world, squishies are brightly colored foam toys that come in a variety of shapes and sizes, from a tiny panda face on a key chain to some fake-but-looks-real sushi. The shapes and varieties are endless. Some are scented with bakery-appropriate flavors like strawberry or…
Vegetable Paint Stamping
One of Cass’ Art projects in school last week was vegetable paint stamping. Being an arty type, she was excited naturally. I remember that this activity was one of my favorite when I was Cass’ age and I never got tired of it. Mum who was a teacher, would show my brothers and I how…
Kids And Chinese Whispers
Wednesday, 2 May 2018
Today Cass my forgetful girl forgot to bring her purse to school again! I only realized that she had left her purse behind at around 8 a.m. On the spur of the moment, I wanted to drive to school right away to save her before her recess starts. Just last week, she had forgotten to…

It’s day two of Cass’ first term exam and she sat for her Chinese Understanding, Chinese Writing and Moral papers today. Chinese has always been the toughest subject for Cass, so is BM. She hardly reads Chinese and BM novels. She barely ever talks in BM, does not attend BM tuition and the only practice…

The Tooth Fairy
Cass shed her molar tooth early this week. When the tooth finally dropped after days of causing her extreme discomfort, Cass was pleased as punch. She was relieved that the tooth no longer obstructed her mouth movements and she was also looking forward to the ‘tooth fairy’ coming to give her a dollar under her…
First Sunday In 2018 (7 January 2018)
After church, I took Uber with the girls to Pavillion to meet the hubs. Our lunch on the first Sunday of this year was at Din Tai Fung, the hubs’ favorite Taiwanese restaurant of all times. In an article published on January 17, 1993, the New York Times rated Din Tai Fung as one of…
Our Thursday, 7 Dec 2017
I spent almost the entire day with Cass at Pantai Medical Center today. Cass’ routine yearly ultrasound scan of her urinary tract for this year is overdue. The date that I got from HKL (Hospital KL) to see the doctor is in January 2018 but I didn’t want to wait so long and didn’t want…
Well Done
The long-awaited day finally came today. Cass brought back her report card for the final term exam. She gave me a huge surprise! From almost rock-bottom in her class in the 2nd term exam and was told by her teacher that she would be out of the elite class next year if her final exam…
Lantern Party – 23 Sept 2017
Cass and I attended a pot-luck lantern party to celebrate Mid Autumn Festival organized by her class teacher on this lovely Saturday evening. It was held at one of the classmate’s abode at Sunway Vivaldi, Mont Kiara. Thankfully the rain didn’t rain on our parade tonight (literally) and the kids could play outdoors and walk around…
Rosy Cheeks
Last Sunday, while Drama Queen went on a class trip to the National Planetarium and Alycia went on a day-outing with her grandma and a friend, Cass and I stayed home. In the evening, we went jogging around our neighborhood. It’s been a while since we last did this. I had to rummage through my…
