FollowThis week has been a sick week for Cass and Sherilyn. First it was Cass who was down with a bad throat and today Sherilyn is down with suspected food poisoning. I suspect that the nasi lemak that she pestered me to buy for her yesterday morning was the culprit. Sherilyn has been puking non…

Feeling Bleh, So?
Today is one of those days when I feel really bleh! Just tired and no zest. Throat still hurts and body feels like I have carried tons of weight yesterday. I have been telling the girls almost everyday that I feel freaking tired. Not sure if it’s caused by a deficiency in iron, my low…
Down But Not Totally Out
I am down with a bad strep throat and throbbing head, no thanks to all the vicious and ravenous virus lingering in our house. Everyone in the house was down with cold and strep throat for the past two weeks. Sherilyn got it first and I think she must have gotten it from school or…
Projects Weekend
I thought I could have a relaxing weekend but it turned out to be a busy one for me. I spent my Friday night, Saturday and Sunday helping Alycia and Sherilyn with their school project. Alycia’s Kajian Tempatan project was on the different types of houses found in Malaysia and Sherilyn’s Science project was on…

Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease?
After skipping school the whole of last week, Sherilyn is finally back to school today. From what I thought was a strep throat or swollen gums caused by the eruption of her first molar, it turned out that she may have had contracted Hand-Foot-Mouth (HFM) disease but both the GP and I could not be…
To Fetch Or Not To Fetch?
Alycia has been bugging me to fetch her to school and ditch the transporter as Aunty J, the transporter has been late in picking her up for school lately. As she is a school prefect and needs to be in school by 7am for duty everyday, her daily 10-15 minutes late has been drawing queries…
Cooking Sunny Side Ups
Of my three girls, Alycia is the most finicky when it comes to food. While Sherilyn and Cass will wallop everything that I cook and often leave lots of compliments on how nice the food taste, it is truly a challenge to please my eldest, whom I think has inherited her foodie daddy’s pernickety taste…
Exam Season Yet Again
Hooked On The Wimp
I’ve got a confession to make and I’ll bet you’ll roll on the floor laughing till your stomach aches. I have always reprimanded my girls not to spend hours on end sitting on the royal throne to perform their business with a book in hand but I am now starting to follow suit my girls’…
When The Brain Feels Sluggish
Motherhood Uncensored 2
On the eve of Alycia’s BM test early last week, I suddenly remembered that I had not gone through ‘Nilai Murni’ (which literally means pure values if translated directly from BM to English using Google Translate. It is all the good values that one should possess ) with her. And my cool as cucumber daughter…

Parenting is Challenging
Everyday, I have to embrace a myriad of issues pertaining to my 3 girls, aged almost 5 years old, 8 years old and an almost 10 years old tween. Everyday I grapple with old problems and on some days, I get ‘interesting’ issues which really stir my mind on how to deal with them effectively…
Time Flies When You’re Too Busy
End Of School Holidays
Finally the 6 weeks of school holidays have come to an end. We are back to the grunt starting tomorrow — I’ll have to wake up by 5am, get the 2 older girls ready for school, leave the house at 6:20am, jogging and gym for me after sending the girls off, preparing Cass for pre-school,…
