Silver Lining Behind My Dark Cloud

Now that I have limited movements and usage on my injured hands, I have no choice but to rely on the little ones at home.  My girls have been pretty obedient since yesterday — helping to wash their own cups and plates after meals,  Cass bathed herself with me standing next to her telling her…

Bad Morning

It was a jinxed morning for me.  This morning during my morning jog round the neighborhood, I saw a mad dog chasing a man on a bicycle. I turned back to check if the man was OK and if the dog was going to chase me too but shit, I tripped and flew straight down…

My 4.5YO Baby Girl

My little rat was so tired helping mummy fold clothes that she dozed off.  I just had to snap her picture as I think she looked too cute, just like a baby sleeping in a fetal position.  At 4.5YO, my baby girl still sleeps this way and I really miss her being a baby (though…

Defense Spray For Ladies – Pepper Spray

For almost 2 months, I dared not go jogging far from where I stay as I had left my pepper spray in Ipoh when I went back during the August school term break.  I had asked the hubs to get me a new one but he could not remember where he got me the previous…

Short-Lived Joy

I was truly thankful when I found an Indon helper to come to my place to help with the dishes and some house chores last week. With the mil’s baking and daily cooking, the dishes, pots, pans and baking equipment are a handful to handle. And doing the dishes is one area which I absolutely…

Little Rascal

That’s how my rascal #3 prefers to eat her sandwich… By eating it layer by layer, as if she was eating a 9-layer kuih.  First she nibbles on the top piece of bread, then the piece of fried egg, the last piece of bread and she always saves the best for last… the piece of…

Health Freak Girls

A health freak mom will raise health freak kids, naturally.  See how rascal #2 prepared her sandwich… She slathered a thick layer of homemade pandan kaya on a slice of homemade wholemeal bread and decorated it with 1/2 slice of cheese and tossed in some organic pumpkin seeds and organic walnut…. unroasted and unsalted nuts…

Gender War

This is another post dated post. Alycia came back from school and excitedly told me that Liam, her classmate (Liam is a boy whom I had met him and his parents several times as he stays near us) had invited her to a Gender War party at Mid Valley Megamall ! When I saw the…

Getaway at Hilton Sentral (26 – 27 Oct 2012)

We got back from our short getaway at Hilton Sentral this afternoon and my batteries are now at full bars!  We spent our 1.5 days eating and eating and watching TV.  I had a good bonding time with Alycia and Sherilyn watching The Voice, US Season 3,  for hours * bliss * My 2 little…

Short Getaway

We will be away at a 5-star hotel  in town today, for a short getaway.   I spent the entire morning packing, cleaning the house and dishing out the filler posts for the 21 online assignments that I received 2 days ago.  I spent the past 2 days squeezing my brain for ideas on what to…

Joys And Throes Of Motherhood

After splitting our hairs trying to find a 63cm x 63cm space to fit in a dishwasher into our shoe-sized kitchen, our conclusion is that the kitchen has no space. There is an empty space in the dry kitchen, but that would mean lots of hacking and sacrificing 2 kitchen cabinets… and more $$, on…

What The…?

This is a back-dated post.  For those of you with primary school kids, please read on!! 😀 Can you guess what this is? Not the green lunch box but the black stuff inside. It does look like some highly suspicious and deadly substance from X-Files eh? Or a century egg, no? It is a lunch…

Little Fashionista

The little fashionista in her new girly GAP denim jacket from my online store. Stylo moe? She’s such a vain pot, changing cardigans and jackets every 2 days! Sometimes I disallow her as those thick jackets take days to dry after each wash in the machine but she will secretly sneak it into her bag!…

Welcoming The Rainy Season :)

The long drought period has finally ended and I was dancing the happy dance with the girls when it finally poured cats and dogs last week. I had been waiting for that day to arrive for over 3 months!  I can now put behind my worry and fear of the impending water rationing plan that…
