Che Che Bit Me!

Just a moment ago I heard a loud yell from Cass and then she started to bawl very loudly. I dashed into the bedroom and Cass was pointing her finger at Alycia. Cass – che che bit me!! Me – che che beat you or bit you? Cass – she bit me on my cheek…

Fetish On Erasers

Guess whose work of art and creativity this was from…. I was fuming mad when I saw the vandalized eraser, with staple bullets all over it. All 3 rascals were highly suspicious but the person who did it was the least in my suspicion list. 2 weeks later, I saw another eraser with the same…

Our Sunday – 20 May 2012

Though Alycia still has 2 more papers to sit for tomorrow, I nevertheless wanted her to enjoy her weekend after a stressful week-long of exam. We all woke up early and spent over an hour sweating it out at the park while getting our neglected dose of Vitamin D from the glorious morning sun. After…

My Little Social Butterfly’s Saturday

As I am typing this, the clock shows 5 minutes to 10pm and my 7-YO daughter is still out having fun without her daddy and mummy.  In fact, this girl has been out the whole afternoon and evening. She went for ballet class in the afternoon and now she is having a whale of a…

Exam’s Over, Welcome Holiday!

Alycia and Sherilyn’s mid-term exam is finally over today! But for Alycia, she still has to sit for the Science and Math test papers in English language on Monday. I find this a tad ridiculous. The students have to study in dual language for Math and Science and sit for the exam twice (first in…

Throes of Motherhood… Bad Day (Part 2)

The adage “when it rains it pours” holds so true. Yesterday was indeed bad all the way to way past mid night!!  It felt like a big patch of dark cloud was hanging on us, with looming danger inside the patch of dark cloud, waiting to unleash onto us bit by bit.  At about 8pm…

Throes of Motherhood… Bad Day

First I received an email from my local supplier breaking the most dreaded news to me – that 10 lots of her kids clothes stock are not in the consignment. Either the overseas supplier had left them out or they were stolen. The consignment of stock has been delayed for 3 weeks now due to…

Our 2012 Mother’s Day

It was yet another simple Mother’s Day celebration for us this year. We could not go to anywhere that’s too far or would take up too much time as both Alycia and Sherilyn will be sitting for their mid-term exam tomorrow. I am not too worried for Alycia but for Sherilyn, I have tried my…

My First Mother’s Day Card From My Blog Reader!

When I received a pink envelope with my name written on it 3 days ago, I wonder who had sent me a card. It was sent to our old address. I thought it was probably a card from those jewelry shops or from my insurance agent. When the envelope was ripped off, I was pleasantly…

Happy Friday :)

A customer made my day today! Just a moment ago, she PMed me in FB telling me that she had received her parcel and was very very pleased with the clothes. She told me that I had brightened her day and commented that the ladies clothes and kids clothes were “super duper nice” Such heartwarming…

A Little Embarrassment Is The Trick!

This was what I had to be forced to do when little Miss Forgetful and Scattered-Brain repeatedly forgot to bring her books back home for revision. The Mandarin tutor had asked her to bring her Science textbook along with all her Mandarin exercise books back for revision. Despite umpteen nagging verbal reminders and also written…

Homemade Goodies With TLC

Whilst I was busy doing revision with Alycia and Sherilyn on Sunday, my mil kept herself busy in the kitchen the whole day.  She cooked a pot of red bean-lotus seeds-pandan leaves tong sui, baked 2 trays of green tea red bean buns and also baked a tray of Spanish Magdalenas!  She also whipped up…

‘Straying’ Kids

Alycia and Sherilyn will be sitting for their mid-term examination in a week’s time. So this weekend is spent doing revision with them. Each time I leave my work area to go to the bathroom or have a drink, these 2 monkeys will take the opportunity to have a jolly good time! They will dart…

It’s The Most Dreaded Time Of The Year Again…

…because my girls will be sitting for their mid-term exams. 1 more week to be exact. This year, I have to do revision with 2 girls simultaneously – Alycia who is in P3 and Sherilyn P1. This is uber stress and taxing on me!  Each time I am attending to Alycia, Sherilyn will come tugging…

Sherilyn’s Grade 1 Ballet Exam – 3 May 2012

The big day finally arrived yesterday, after 2 mock examinations, twice weekly classes for the past 1 year and lots of practices at home, not to mention a big hole on daddy’s pocket.  After a week long drought and extremely sweltering weather for the past 1 week, it poured like it never before yesterday, during…
