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
Cass needs to do a yearly ultrasound scan of her urinary tract, especially the kidneys until she turns 12 years old. In the initial years after her surgeries, we used to go back to GMC Penang to have the scan done but her surgeon has given us the green light to have it done at…
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
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…
