FollowDespite having to sit for an exam in a few days’ time, Cass still prefers to indulge in craft vs. poring over her school books. Several days ago, despite having a stack of homework and test papers to do, she pushed them aside. Instead, she crafted a homemade gift from scraps – a mineral water…

Voracious Reader
The other day, Cass and I were discussing an English quiz question that her English teacher in school gave the class. It was about how a frog died and the pupils had to read a given passage to answer. The answer from her teacher was: the frog drown. Cass was very agitated that her answer…
Cass Cooks
For the first time, Cass cooked something. It’s something that I rarely buy though everyone loves it! She cooked instant noodles! It’s for her dearest daddy on Father’s Day ? Her daddy bought the Korean noodles, which are his favorite junk food for movie nights at home, which he will indulge in whenever the moon turns blue.…
Video Calls Bonding
After having my parents around for a week, Cass misses her koong koong and granny very much. Yesterday she made a Whatsapp video call to her grandparents in Ipoh and spent a whole half hour talking to them and playing the piano to entertain them. Yesterday Cass’ piano teacher told me that Cass will be…

Instead, Cass goes to the website where the test papers are accessible and writes down her answers on a piece of recycled paper where…
Do Not Judge The Book By Its Cover
Today Cass’ regular piano teacher at Yamaha was on leave. A substitute teacher was assigned to us. Upon entering the room, I was taken aback. The room was pitch black. When the door was opened, the replacement teacher jumped out from her siesta. Ms L was taking her forty winks with her head on the…
Hungry As A Bear
When our girls come home from school each day, the first thing on their mind is to dart into the kitchen. Acting like inspectors, they inspect every nook and corner, every pot and pan on the stove and every drawer to see what’s in for them. Still in their uniform and socks, any cooked food…
Silly Girl
Today I was totally thunderstruck when Cass told me that she wore her PE t-shirt that her friend had dropped on the school’s wet and dirty toilet floor! If you are a product of Malaysia’s public schools, you will know just how dirty, wet and stinky these toilets are. Totally disgusting. Cass had asked her…

As usual, he ordered nasi briyani with side dishes of chicken curry, fish curry, salted egg, cabbage and mutton curry. I ordered my all-time favorite tosai rawa which is the ‘healthiest’ of…
