Hot Temper

Guess who had a temper flare, pulled the drawer out in anger and yanked the entire drawer out? Thank God the drawer did not land on her feet, which were just inches away and thank God Baby was not standing near the drawer. Can u see how high the drawer was? It was the 2nd…

Princess In Yellow

My princess wannabe participated in her concert recently. Last year, she wore a red suit and danced the ‘Chicken Dance’. This year, she donned on a bright yellow costume and performed in a modern dance. Too bad I could not attend her concert again as it was the eve of Alycia’s final exam and I had…

A Ballerina Bag For A Ballerina

I got this pink bag with a sewing of a pretty ballerina costume from Sewing Monster for my little brat to put her ballet stuff whenever she attends classes, which is twice a week.  Sherilyn is now attending classes twice a week to prepare her for the second exam early next year.  When she saw…

Sleeping Beauty

Rascal #2 hardly ever naps in the afternoon. She is always bursting with energy and full of mischievous ideas. On most afternoons, she will be playing or would disturb Alycia who is napping by tickling her sister or whispering in her ears!!  Even when rascal #2 is tired, she would refuse to go into her…

Some Facts About My Sherilyn

Remember my earlier post on Sherilyn eating rice and porridge with her hands? And also about her wearing pretty dresses and necklaces at home? Also about her decorating her hair like a X’mas tree and about her tying her hair like Nina Wang? This little girl of mine just loves to be different. And she…

Boiling Telephone Porridge

I remember I only started to ‘poa tin war choak’ or ‘boil telephone porridge’ which, in Cantonese literally means using the telephone for a prolonged period till the telephone becomes hot, when I was a teenager. Sherilyn who is only 5 1/2 years old has recently started to boil telephone porridge by calling her best…

Only Works Well Under Pressure

Sherilyn is the most ‘lau hei’ (dilly dally) 5yo girl I have ever known. Unlike Alycia who is very anxious whenever it comes to completing her homework, Sherilyn will only have the urgency to start doing her homework at the eleventh hour. Each day, I need to remind her umpteen times to do her homework….

Grounded

Rascal #2 doesn’t finish her food every single night! At 8:30pm every night on end, I will nag the same thing to her “finish your soup, finish your rice, you will be grounded if you throw your food again!” About 3 weeks ago, I really grounded her by removing all her privileges – no TV…

Daddy’s Princess Always

We were about to leave the house for Mid Valley Megamall. My princess wannabe insisted that she had to wear her Princess clogs to match her dress. She even dressed herself to the nines by wearing her favorite necklace that Joshua’s Mummy (the girls’ former Sunday School teacher) bought. She dressed herself up like she…

Her Wish Is His Command

Last Sunday we had a shopping trip at Mid Valley Megamall. Just as we were leaving the house, Sherilyn decided to wear her Princess clogs to match her dress. Knowing very well that this pair of clogs would cause painful blisters to pop up on her toes, she went ahead to wear the clogs despite…

Why You Hit Me… I Am Your Baby Sister!

During a fight between rascal #2 and #3 just now, rascal #2 hit #3.   And rascal #3 gave me a big surprise when she said this to her jie jie : “hey….why you hit me?  I am your baby sister!”  Baby must have heard me saying this to her 2 jie jies every now and then : “don’t let your…

“Ambil Pepper Kakak, Cheh Cheh Suck Thumb”

At 5 years 5 months, Sherilyn is still a thumb sucker.  She sucks her thumb when she’s sleepy, bored and when she’s in front of the tellie.  Each time we see her happily sucking her thumb away, we will reprimand her but she couldn’t be bothered, sigh!!   Recently, my mil would threaten to put pepper…

Wayward Child?

Rascal #2 never fails to give us heart attacks each time we bring her out.  Many times, just when we were busy in the midst of doing something, she would be out of our radar.  She loves wandering away from us.  My mil, hubs and I would always chide her off big time whenever she wanders…

Naughty Jie Jie Cut My Face With A Scissors!

Rascal #2 cut Baby’s face with a pair of scissors early this week. I was in the toilet and suddenly, I heard Baby screaming and crying. I rushed out and rascal #2 said this “I tried to take away the scissors from Baby and I accidentally cut her face“. I don’t know if she was…

Water Guzzler

These days, I don’t have to keep nagging and reminding rascal #2 to finish her tumbler of water in school. She is SOOOOO motivated to chug down her tumbler of water in school and has even asked me for a bigger tumbler. And the motivation is from a simple rubber stamp mark on her hand from…
