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
With so much free time on hand now that all exams for this year are over, I am enlisting the littlest one to help out in the kitchen and around the house. Besides having to iron her own clothes, Cass has to help with drying and keeping the dishes. Earlier this week, I made her…
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…
Meeting With Cass’ Teacher
I 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
I have learned something yesterday. When my daughters tell me a piece of news, I have to expect it to be only 95% accurate. And had I believed it to be 100% true, I’d have made a fool out of myself. Yesterday Cass told me that her classmate, S’s father had passed away and that…
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…
Tuesday, 24 April 2018
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…
Tuesday, 13 February 2018
Today I had another opportunity for a few hours of morning ME TIME as Drama Queen had to be in school at 9 a.m. for her weekly librarian meeting. Ever since she started high school, I hardly have the time to go out for more than two hours as my morning time is reserved just…
