Ever since the water shortage and water rationing issues hit the Klang Valley, my girls and I have to adjust our lifestyle a wee bit. As I am typing this post, my bladder is on the verge of exploding but I these days, I have to think twice before peeing and flushing the toilet. If…

Botak Barbie
Someone with an ever curious mind and itchy hands snipped off Barbie’s long locks. Poor ballerina Barbie now wears a crew cut and she’s so hideous! Till now, I still don’t know which rascal shaved off Barbie’s golden locks. Rascal #2 pointed finger at rascal #3 and vice versa. The blame game is still going…
Updates From HFM :)
I just realized that there has been no update in this blog for 5 days! And I thought that it was only 2 or 3 days. Apart from my lungs and nostrils, my mind must have been choked by the dreadful haze too. So what have I been up to? I have been feeling a…
Onions Don’t Make Me Cry, They Make Me Laugh LOL!
Yesterday I was peeling and slicing big onions in the kitchen. Cass came into the kitchen to read her story book to me. She’s displayed a great interest in reading lately and has shown a promising improvement 🙂 I told her not to stand too near the chopping board and I said “ONIONS WILL MAKE…
A Week Dealing With Sick Kids
This 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…
Flashback of Happy Memories
This Thermos flask is the first ever thermos food jar that I bought for Alycia. I bought it when she first started to eat solids at 7 months old. That was over 9 years ago, around July 2004. It is my most trusted thermos flask as it could keep her food warm for 5-6 hours….
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
It’s the most dreaded time of the year again. This time, I have 3 times the amount of stress as Cass is in her 2nd last year of kindy and has to sit for the twice-yearly exam as well. Today, I spent my morning doing revision with Cass. It is a kindy holiday for Cass…
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
Being a blogger, I have my fair share of days when my brain feels like it ain’t performing up to par and needs a jolt from its dormant state of mind. Today is just one of those days. I knew that today would be one of those days when the brain feels sluggish the minute…
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…
