Today is Cass’ kindy’s parents-teachers day where the parents will meet the teachers and collect the child’s report card. I wonder how she has fared in her first ever classroom style exam. For BM, she has just started to master suku kata and has just started to get the hang of stringing the suku katas…
Hot Hot Day Again
Today is another skin grilling, super hot, hazy and humid day. A 15-minute laundry hanging at my balcony at 10am, with streaks of burning hot sun rays roasting my skin all over made me perspire as if I had spent half an hour in the sauna, I kid you not. Yesterday I looked at myself…
My Monday – 20 May 2013
This week is bound to be a nail-bitting 4 days for me from today through Thursday. My 3 daughters will bring home their Mid-Term test papers for me to sign. I think Alycia is going to be A-OK with her overall results. I have no idea how Sherilyn and Cass have fared. While Sherilyn is…
Do you have any incentive scheme for your child to study hard and to score well?
It’s been almost 2 years and Alycia is still not through with her craze over the mouse series, Geronimo Stilton. She also favors Wimpy Kid, Enid Blyton, Famous Five, Ronald Dahl, Helen Moss, James Lee and any type of manga and comics. Well, basically this girl just loves to read books and magazines except her…
Beet Root Smoothies
Today, I made some healthy smoothies with beet root, the root that is a well-known powerhouse of antioxidants and soluble fiber. With one medium size beet root, I made: 1) beet root + green apple + chia seeds smoothie for myself. I used about 3/4 of the beet root and 1 whole green apple….
Scorching Hot Weather
The weather for the past few days has been killing! A 5-minute stroll in the open air during the day when the sun is scorching hot can literally grill your skin till it browns with sweat sizzling out from every single pore on your body. It is so hot that I have to shower 3-4…
Exam Season Yet Again
It’s the most dreaded time of the year again. This time, I have 3 times the amount of stress as Cass is in her 2nd last year of kindy and has to sit for the twice-yearly exam as well. Today, I spent my morning doing revision with Cass. It is a kindy holiday for Cass…
Happy Mother’s Day!
I received a big surprise in the post box on Friday. It was a handmade Mother’s Day card from one of my blog readers!! This is the same lady who made me a Mother’s Day card last year! Last year, the card was pink and the hand-sewn alphabet on the card was the letter ‘S’….

Little Helper
She may be a rascal giving me plenty of hair-pulling moments everyday but when she is good, she can be such a saint who tugs at my heartstrings. Her latest new found skill since last Friday is choosing fruits and veggies. At the night market last Friday, she did a very good job helping me…
4th Anniversary of Cassandra’s Uretheral Reimplantation Surgery
Today marks an important day in the history of Malaysia. It is our country’s 13th General Election, a day where many people cast their votes. I am not going to talk about politics here. I’ve had enough of stuffing myself sick with news on politics for the past one month. Today is the 4th anniversary…
Hooked On Making Homemade Smoothies With My New Shimono!
I admit I am a sucker for healthy food and health products. If you repeatedly show me how awesome a blender, juicer, air fryer or a food detoxifier is, that’s it, I will go weak and will eventually succumb to temptation! My friends in Facebook have been posting pictures on homemade smoothies made using the…
Hooked On The Wimp
I’ve got a confession to make and I’ll bet you’ll roll on the floor laughing till your stomach aches. I have always reprimanded my girls not to spend hours on end sitting on the royal throne to perform their business with a book in hand but I am now starting to follow suit my girls’…
Our Saturday – 27 April 2013 And The Election Campaign Fever
Today is a school-going day for Alycia and Sherilyn. It is a replacement school day for the holiday given on Qing Ming (All Souls Day) 2 weeks ago. Everyone at home was up at 5:45am today — while Alycia and Sherilyn were getting themselves ready, the MIL’s iPad buzzed as she had a Skype video…
My Health Freak Breakfast – 25 April 2013
After a half-hour workout in the gym today where I burned 300+ calories, here’s what I had for breakfast: 1 packet of Ryvita’s mini cream cheese & chives rye crackers (shared with Cass) and half a bowl of honey nut granola topped with untoasted hazelnuts, pistachios, pumpkin seeds, chia seeds and three juicy strawberries. I…
New Found Flash Cards
Cass was rummaging through my drawers last week and guess what she fished out from the deepest end of the drawer that I hardly open? Boxes of flash cards on Math (division, addition, subtraction), words, opposites and nouns! They were all new and I was so pleasantly surprised with her unintentional discovery! I inspected the…
