The Eve Of The Girls’ Final Exam

On the eve of Alycia and Sherilyn’s exam, we had a pretty relaxing Sunday.   We had lunch at Antipodean @ Menara Tan & Tan. While waiting for the food to arrive, Alycia and Sherilyn worked on their workbooks.  Monkey see monkey do — Cass also kept herself busy by writing pages of her Chinese name…

Chicken Feet Craze

I have never seen a 4YO kid who likes chicken feet as much as mine! On days when the mil prepares chicken feet dish, my 3 girls will surely whack them all up — gnawing on the feet, chewing on the skin and sucking out all the gooey stuff from the chicken feet oh so…

Surprise For The Girls

It was a day of revision for the girls  on Saturday. They are sitting for their final exam starting today for a whole school week. After all the monotonous book stuff, which tired and bored them to the bones (that’s always the case when it comes to pre-exam revision), a surprise unfolded when the door…

Eventful Tooth Shedding Moments

The tooth fairy visited Sherilyn the 4th time last week and in the usual hilariously fashionable way, just like the previous three times as all were eventful and equally hilarious. I can remember vividly how her teeth came off the previous three times.   For the very first tooth, she cried and whined in discomfort for…

Microfiber Mop From 100 Yen Shop

I love shopping at 100 Yen Shop.  After dropping off rascal #2 at the ballet school, I can spend over an hour at 100 Yen Shop browsing the range of amazing yet affordable products.  Last Saturday, I found this magic microfiber mop that I have been wanting to get ever since my role now includes…

My Heart Shattered Into A Million Pieces…

… yesterday afternoon when I saw Alycia’s badly grazed knee and palm.  The moment Alycia and Sherilyn came back from school, Sherilyn was quick to announce “mummy, che che’s knee has BLOOD!  She fell down!”  I rushed out from the kitchen to inspect Alycia’s knee and when I saw the fresh wound on her knee,…

I Am Katsaridaphobia!

I have a confession to make as regards my fears.  Among fear of heights, I am Katsaridaphobia (fear of cockroaches) and am also a wee bit entomophobia, i.e. fear of insects with flappy wings! I fear roaches so much that I would have bad dreams about it every now and then. Yes even at this…

Pan-Fried Salmon Fried Rice

Fried fish only tastes good if it is eaten immediately while it’s still warm and out from the frying pan within the same hour.  For left over fried fish that is kept in the fridge and reheated in the toaster or oven the next day, some how I find that the taste and texture of…

Cassandra’s Concert Rehearsal

It was Cass’ concert rehearsal day today and it’s supposed to be a no big deal thing for me as Alycia and Sherilyn had gone through this sort of rehearsals over the last 4 years.  But it is a pretty big deal thing for Cass (it’s her first ever performance on a stage) and also…

Our Weekend

I spent my Saturday afternoon doing some light revision with Alycia and Sherilyn as the both of them will be sitting for their final exam soon.  It really ain’t easy to give equal attention to both of them and I have to admit that I am giving more attention to Alycia as what’s in her…

A Lovely Saturday Morning

This is a back-dated post.  I only found the time to upload the bunch of pix from my camera this morning when all 3 rascals were in school. This big, round and pink sun greeted me good morning when I stepped into the balcony to hang the laundry at 8am on a Saturday morning. Everyone…

Flash Cards For 4-Year Olds

These are Cass’ BM flash cards from pre-school meant for 4-year olds.  From my experience with my 3 kids, I think flash cards will only be effective in teaching the child to read if the parent is involved actively too.  If the child is taught flash cards in school and then in go the flash…

Workbook With Grammatical Errors

I set some Math work for Alycia to do in one of the Math workbooks that I bought for her.  Moments later, Alycia came to me, chortling away and pointed out the silly mistake that she spotted in one of the questions in the workbook : What a glaring language error the author has made. …

Our Typical Weekend Morning

This is a typical scene on a Saturday and Sunday morning. The 3 angels will be seated at the dining table, eating breakfast with eyes fixated on either a book or the newspaper, while grandma and mummy will be poring over the newspapers. Daddy will be snoring away and still in bed haha! Check out…
