And The Nightmare Begins…

Posted on May 29, 2014July 8, 2014 by Shireen

The nightmare has just begun for 2 weeks of hacking, drilling, dust and mess in the house *sobs* The past 2 days we did a lot of packing, sealing and moving to our aunt’s unit in the same block as ours. The real nightmare on Elm Street begins tomorrow! As online work continues for…

Manic Month Of May

Posted on May 28, 2014July 8, 2014 by Shireen

My bad guts feelings are right. I could feel creepily that the month of May is a jinx month for Cass and me. Yesterday I went back to my dentist as my gums and adjacent teeth still hurt 8 days after my premolar tooth extraction. No doubt, it was a very difficult extraction as the…

I Hate The Month Of May!

Posted on May 26, 2014July 8, 2014 by Shireen

Darn my twitching right eye lids and eye brows for the past 2 weeks. Bad things keep happening one after another. Each time my right eye lid and eye brow twitch, I start to worry. 9 out of 10 times my right eye twitches, someone dear to me or myself are bound to fall sick…

A Very Expensive Lesson Learnt, The Hard Way!

Posted on May 23, 2014May 23, 2014 by Shireen

As I had mentioned in my earlier post, the month of May has always been a very challenging month for me. Nothing goes smoothly in the month of May. It is also a month that money goes out inevitably from my pockets, from hubs’ pockets too. We were married in the month of May. Hubs…

Math Craze Cass Scores!

Posted on May 21, 2014July 8, 2014 by Shireen

Today Cass gave me a very very BIG SURPRISE! When I picked her up from school today, she told me that she scored 100% for her Math test! I could not believe my ears. I know that she is Math craze and can spend hours doing Math sums while waiting for her turn to see…

See No Touch

Posted on May 20, 2014July 8, 2014 by Shireen

Inspired by my friend’s posting of the picture of her mum’s homecooked black sweet vinegar pig’s trotters in Facebook and also aroused by the killer aroma of this dish from the unit above ours (a lady just gave birth and dang it, her Confinement Lady is drowning me with the aroma of her confinement dishes…

Awful Monday

Posted on May 19, 2014May 20, 2014 by Shireen

The month of May has always been very challenging for me. This May, I have a long list of hurdles to tick away from the Awful May list. The biggest hurdle was ticked last week after Cass went for her Urodynamics Test. I just had my lower tooth no.5 extracted today and gawd, it was…

Health Freak Mommy’s Super Healthy Breakfast

Posted on May 16, 2014July 8, 2014 by Shireen

Here’s health freak mommy’s breakkie for today 🙂 Sugar-free plain yoghurt with an assortment of salt-free and sugar-free nuts from Hawaii (pecan, cashew, almond, macadamia) and chia seeds with a drizzle of coconut palm sugar (gula melaka)… This is not my choice of breakfast actually as I find it a tad plain but each…

Mother’s Day 2014

Posted on May 12, 2014July 8, 2014 by Shireen

It was two days straight of digging into glorious food at new eateries, starting from Saturday nite through Sunday. For the hubs, there is always no better way to celebrate an occasion than to do it and to show it with good food with his loved ones. On Saturday nite, he brought us to Muugu…

Bravest Girl In The Whole Wide World

Posted on May 9, 2014August 22, 2017 by Shireen

The award for “Toughest and Bravest Girl” has to go to Cass! All my worries about how Cass will cope with the pain and fear has been unfounded. My baby girl was as brave as ever yesterday during the Urodynamics Test, without shedding a tear when the nurse prodded the two catheters into her urethra…

Orange Apple Avocado Smoothie With Chia Seeds

Posted on May 6, 2014July 8, 2014 by Shireen

Yesterday, I made a glass of orange + apple + avocado + chia seed smoothie for Cass to combat her constipation problem. I also added half a cup of color-free strawberry flavored yoghurt drink to the Shimono cup for a double power laxative effect and whirled everything together for a few seconds. This concoction is…

Exam Fever

Posted on May 4, 2014May 5, 2014 by Shireen

Scene at home on the eve of Alycia and Sherilyn’s mid year exam, on a Sunday…. Me revising with Alycia and Sherilyn on Kata Kerja, Sinomim, Antonim, Simpulan Bahasa, Penjodoh Bilangan, Kata Ganda and a whole load of Tatabahasa on Slideshare from the computer. Alycia is in Primary 5 and Sherilyn in Primary 3 this…

Cutesy Pink Car

Posted on May 2, 2014May 2, 2014 by Shireen

For the past one month, I have been making head turns, putting a smile and chuckle on kids’ and adults’ faces and people point at my direction in awe. People often stop short of what they are doing just to gawk at my direction and they often chuckle. Just yesterday morning, a man stood right…

Peeling Stinky Beans

Posted on April 30, 2014July 8, 2014 by Shireen

Cass earnestly and diligently at work, helping grandma to remove the stinky beans from the pod and then peeled off the skin. And she completed the entire job all by herself! This I really have to give her a pat on her back. I have absolutely no patience for this kinda boring task….

Bonding With No. 2

Posted on April 28, 2014April 28, 2014 by Shireen

I had a much needed fruitful bonding with rascal no.2 yesterday. We did what girls love best – shopping! Mummy and daughter shopping for shoes and clothes! At Avenue K Shopping Mall, after a delightful and totally satisfying lunch at Bankara Ramen and stationery and books shopping at Popular Bookstore. It was our first time…

Homework Discussion Via Skype

Posted on April 25, 2014July 8, 2014 by Shireen

This is a typical Generation Z kid. A kid who is very hands-on with electrical gadgets. During my time (I was born in the year of the ox some 4 decades back) when I was Alycia’s age, I could only discuss homework with my friends via telephone. And the telephone that we had…
