Post Holiday Blues
We were back in KL yesterday after being away for 10 days. Since my first step into the house, I have been working non-stop. I hate being away from my nest for too long. Hate the dusty floors, table and kitchen tops and hate changing the bedsheets. Hate doing the laundry. I need 2 days…
Would you pay your kids to do housework?
Silver Lining Behind My Dark Cloud
Now that I have limited movements and usage on my injured hands, I have no choice but to rely on the little ones at home. My girls have been pretty obedient since yesterday — helping to wash their own cups and plates after meals, Cass bathed herself with me standing next to her telling her…
Bad Morning
Joys And Throes Of Motherhood
After splitting our hairs trying to find a 63cm x 63cm space to fit in a dishwasher into our shoe-sized kitchen, our conclusion is that the kitchen has no space. There is an empty space in the dry kitchen, but that would mean lots of hacking and sacrificing 2 kitchen cabinets… and more $$, on…
The Eve Of The Girls’ Final Exam
On the eve of Alycia and Sherilyn’s exam, we had a pretty relaxing Sunday. We had lunch at Antipodean @ Menara Tan & Tan. While waiting for the food to arrive, Alycia and Sherilyn worked on their workbooks. Monkey see monkey do — Cass also kept herself busy by writing pages of her Chinese name…
Involving The Kids In House Work
Ever since kakak went back to Indonesia for good, I involve the girls in almost every chore – hanging out, retrieving, folding and keeping the clothes, cleaning up before and after meals and cleaning up their own mess. You spill drinks, you drop food on the floor – you clean them up. Alycia was exempted…
Maidless At Home
2 Sunday mornings ago, we were supposed to go to church. It was madness rush as usual, with 3 dilly dallying kids who just wanted to laze around for breakfast at the dining table on a Sunday morning. I wanted to hang out the laundry first, before we left for home to take advantage of…
Maidless At Home
When the going gets tough, the tough gets going. After months of drumming into their little heads that after kakak leaves, everyone will have their fair share of own chores, the actual scene swung into action since 2 days ago. Cass and Sherilyn are in charged of folding the clothes and keeping them into the…
A Picture That Moved Me To Tears
Nail Art… Mothers, Do You Have It?
Exam’s Over, Welcome Holiday!
Alycia and Sherilyn’s mid-term exam is finally over today! But for Alycia, she still has to sit for the Science and Math test papers in English language on Monday. I find this a tad ridiculous. The students have to study in dual language for Math and Science and sit for the exam twice (first in…
Throes of Motherhood… Bad Day (Part 2)
Throes of Motherhood… Bad Day
First I received an email from my local supplier breaking the most dreaded news to me – that 10 lots of her kids clothes stock are not in the consignment. Either the overseas supplier had left them out or they were stolen. The consignment of stock has been delayed for 3 weeks now due to…
Our 2012 Mother’s Day
It was yet another simple Mother’s Day celebration for us this year. We could not go to anywhere that’s too far or would take up too much time as both Alycia and Sherilyn will be sitting for their mid-term exam tomorrow. I am not too worried for Alycia but for Sherilyn, I have tried my…
