A Promise Made In Writing

Rascal #2 has a nasty habit of not finishing her food, especially her dinner, and especially so if it’s rice with dishes. I get so annoyed that this is happening so frequently that I made her promise me that she will finish her meals… in writing! Once her promise is broken, she can say sayonara…

Dad’s Homecooked Food

When my parents were here last week, my dad took over the wok one afternoon and cooked fried vermicelli. After happily sweating it out in the kitchen (my dad is naturally a talented cook and loves whipping out dishes for us), my dad suddenly remembered he had forgotten to put the marinated pork into the…

Now I See It, Now I Don’t, Anymore…

Remember my earlier post on my dad and mum’s homemade bread spreads? This is what happened to my favorite kaya a few days after my parents left KL: A bottle full of kaya, all plastered on the kitchen floor 🙁 No prize for guessing who dropped the bottle. It’s rascal #2! Well, this smart alec…

Another Boo Boo

9 out of 10 times rascal #2 is given a glass of freshly squeezed orange juice, she will spill the juice. It’s like jinx I tell ya coz it always has to be orange juice and soy bean milk that she spills. I have been observing her and analyzing why she always spills drinks and…

My Little Vain Pot Who Loves To Smell Good

Not only is Sherilyn vain, she even likes to smell good and feel good all over. After her shower each time, she would insist on putting talcum powder all over her body and face, yes face… which makes her look really ridiculous haha!  After applying talcum powder, she slathers lotion all over her body. Remember the talcum powder boo…

Assortment Of Topics

I was sitting in front of the PC, cracking my head to come up with a proper title for this post as I have several things to write about. So I finally settled for ‘assortment of topics’. First thing first. Today is my mum’s 63rd birthday and I’d like to wish her a very happy birthday….

Kids Nap The Darnest Ways

This is what usually happens if my 2 older monkeys try to avoid napping in the afternoon. Towards the evening, they will be drop dead exhausted when their batteries go dead and then they would doze off while watching the tellie, like this. The funny and amazing thing is that they can sleep really soundly in these positions.  They…

Learning To Live Without A Live-In Maid

Remember my earlier post where I ranted that I had headache, backache and stress? I also mentioned that after giving Sherilyn a good whipping, this mischievous rascal sat down quietly, fuss-free and did her writing. Here’s the picture of her doing suku kata (phonics in Malay language) writing, which I had given her. She knows…

Hates Rice But Loves Oodles Of Noodles

Lately I have been recollecting my childhood days to see if Sherilyn takes after me and then all of a sudden, I remembered that I hated to eat rice too (and still donch like rice). I remember a few incidences very vividly when I was around 6-7 years old where my mum spoon fed me rice with dishes…

Punished

Sherilyn the menace got punished again…. this time mah mah punished her for her mischief.  You know, each time she goes to the bathroom on her own, I just have a hunch that she will be up to mischief.  This fler can never ever be left alone anywhere for her curious mind and itchy hands will…

A Day Of Jabs… And One Sad News

Today is a day of jabs for my gals.  Daddy and I brought our 3 angels to the paed’s office for them to get their vaccination.  Here’s who got what on their bum: Alycia 1) 1st Hepatitis A 2) Booster DTP, Polio, Hib Sherilyn 1) 1st Hepatitis A 2) Booster MMR Cassandra 1st MMR Reaction…

Sherilyn My Poor Feeder

Sherilyn has been a very poor feeder since she was a baby. She puked a lot too from an infant up until she was 3 years old+.   Till now, she still insists that someone feeds her at every meal *roll eyeballs and shake head*.   Check out this fler here – no one wanted to feed her…

Miss Dilly Dally

Sherilyn has a habit of dilly dallying in everything that she does, everything. She dilly dallies so much that I had to wake her and Alycia up from bed half an hour earlier than the usual time beginning this week (7:15am instead of 7:45am), so that they won’t be late for school anymore. Normally Alycia…

Like Real Only

Saturdays are the only days that Aly and Sher can have prolonged breakfast and watch TV for hours.  Last Saturday, I saw Sher sitting on the couch eating her egg for breakfast, not watching TV but ‘reading’ her Ladybird story book… like real only, as if she could read hahaha!  She was so wrapped up…

Bye-Bye School Holidays, Back To School

The 2-week school holidays have come to an end.  Tomorrow it’s back to school for the gals and also time for me to spend hours coaching them in their homework again. No more waking up late for everyone and no more being glued to the telly the whole day for the gals.  I really need…

Sherilyn The Menace

My #2 is indeed a menace. Everyone tells me it’s because of the middle-child syndrome but frankly, I don’t think I’m like this at all since I’m also a #2 child myself. Less than a year ago hubby bought me a new handphone as my old one went kaput when #2 dropped it.  A few…
