When It Rains It Pours For Days!

Posted on February 22, 2014 by Shireen

The jinx seems to be flying around me since last week. First, my car was hit. Two days later, the AVR switch for my computer got burnt. Today, my washing machine konked out on me! Why oh why must it be my washing machine? Next to the computer, I can’t live without my washing machine….

Brainwashing Statement

Posted on February 20, 2014February 20, 2014 by Shireen

Whenever Alycia and Sherilyn pass remarks like “are we bringing bread to school AGAIN tomorrow?”, I will reply “YES!”. “Strawberry jam/ kaya/peanut butter again??” and I will reply “YES!!” “I am SO SICK of strawberry jam / kaya/peanut butter mummy!” And my standard long reply would go… “when I was your age, my mummy, your…

Second Bout Of Jinx Explosion

Posted on February 19, 2014February 19, 2014 by Shireen

… and it happened this morning! I was working on an invoice for a customer when the Excel file started to act up and then went ‘hang’. Then, I smelled something burning, something that smelled like plastic burning. The mil who was having breakfast also twitched her nose. Then the both of us looked at…

Worst Day In 2014

Posted on February 18, 2014February 18, 2014 by Shireen

Yesterday was the worst day for us since we welcomed the new calendar year. When I picked Sherilyn up from the enrichment centre at around 6ish pm, a Beemer car banged onto my car door! I was about to start my car to move when this Beemer also wanted to reverse his car from the…

For weeks, Sherilyn’s bff, B has been persuading her to have a joint birthday party at the pool-side of our condo. B’s birthday is on 15 February and Sherilyn’s on 16 February. Sherilyn’s other buddy’s birthday is on 17 February. So the girls wanted to have a joint pool-side birthday party. But I wasn’t keen…

Sherilyn Is 9!

Posted on February 16, 2014 by Shireen

Happy birthday Sherilyn! May you grow up healthily, happily and obediently with God’s guidance. May you make your daddy and mummy proud of you always. Can’t believe that you are 9 this year! Still remember so vividly 9 years ago today. It was the 8th day of CNY and you were delivered via elective C-Section….

Cassandra’s 1st Appointment With Nephrologist & Urologist at HKL

Posted on February 14, 2014February 14, 2014 by Shireen

Yesterday was the first time I stepped foot into the grounds of HKL (Hospital KL), the place that has always given me the creeps each time I pass by this building. When I was working in the HR Dept of a bank yonks ago, our HR Manager and Assistant Managers would visit staff who were…

Health Check Week

Posted on February 12, 2014February 12, 2014 by Shireen

This week is a health check week for us. Yesterday, I did my pap smear, vaginal ultrasound scan and ultrasound scan of boops. Findings ain’t 100% rosy but good news is surgery is not really necessary. My gynae said that the choice is mine – I can choose to undergo a surgery or choose another…

Clean Freak

Posted on February 8, 2014February 15, 2014 by Shireen

In commenting to my earlier post on ‘Quirky Freaky Bloke’, one of my readers commented that I should bring a can of air freshener to the gym to deodorize the air if the quirky bloke farts again. Hmmm, perhaps I should do just that, instead of stepping down from the machine to leave the gym. …

Quirky Freaky Bloke

Posted on February 6, 2014February 8, 2014 by Shireen

For once, I am going to be bitchy, bitching about this bloke at my condo who is an obvious fitness and tan freak. He gets on my nerves as he is always rushing to get into the gym at the stroke of 7am sharp and showing that he wants to be ahead of me. In…

A Glimpse of Chinese New Year 2014

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

On the second day of CNY 2014, which was a Saturday, we took the 9am ETS (Electric Train Service) from KL to Ipoh. I woke up at 4:45am to get the girls ready and the taxi came at 8:30am to fetch us to KL Sentral to catch the train. So glad we were not late!…

Chinese New Year 2014

Posted on February 2, 2014February 7, 2014 by Shireen

We broke our tradition for CNY this year. Every year if the MIL is here, she would cook ‘jai’ (vegetarian food) on the first day of CNY. There would be a stir-fried vegetarian vermicelli and a ‘jai’ dish (dish made up of Chinese cabbage, wood fungus, mushrooms, golden needle mushrooms, glass noodles and fermented red…

Chinese New Year Shopping… Again

Posted on January 29, 2014January 30, 2014 by Shireen

This morning, after sending my car for a wash, hubs and I went to do our CNY shopping at a nearby mini mart. I love shopping at this mini mart as it carries a wide variety of fresh produce, organic food stuff and Japanese food stuff. Prices are reasonable and the fresh produce as well…

Sherilyn’s Bff

Posted on January 26, 2014January 25, 2014 by Shireen

Sherilyn’s bff of 4 years came to our place yesterday. I think they are really inseparable. When I picked up Sherilyn from the enrichment centre yesterday, B told me that she wanted to tag along too. She wanted to follow Sherilyn to the ballet school and watch Sherilyn dance. I told her that she had…

What A Friday Morning!

Posted on January 24, 2014January 24, 2014 by Shireen

For the first time in my 2 daughters’ primary school life, I woke up late this morning. Super duper late. 1.5 hours late to be exact! Darn the alarm on my new Samsung mobile phone. The alarm melody is super calming and pleasant, it must have lulled me back to dreamland. What woke me up…

Loving The Chilly Weather!

Posted on January 22, 2014January 22, 2014 by Shireen

The weather in KL has been really very pleasant for the past one week. It has been very chilly, just perfect to eat chillies! It has been very breezy, very cooling and the sun would be hiding behind the clouds on most days. The temperature at the coolest time of the day is only between…
