Cassandra Says The Darndest Things

Posted on February 28, 2012February 29, 2012 by Shireen

Out of tiredness caring for 3 demanding girls today, on top of supervising an on-going renovation in the kitchen plus having to deal with some difficult customers, I said this to Baby: Me – I am so so tired you know? I wish I were a princess and don’t have to do any work but…

Posted on February 26, 2012March 30, 2012 by Shireen

After close to 2 years in baby ballet class, my princess wannabe is finally ready to sit for Grade 1 of the Royal Academy Of Dancing Exam. The first trial ballet exam was held today. One more trial exam and the actual exam will be held in May or June this year. From a weekly…

Our Saturday – 25 February 2012

Posted on February 25, 2012 by Shireen

Today Sherilyn was green with envy when we went to KLCC without her. We did not leave her out intentionally. It’s just that her ballet class clashed with Alycia’s first appointment with the Orthodontist and she must not miss the class as she is sitting for her Primary 1 ballet exam very soon. After the…

Would Your Man Shop For You And Your Kids From Online Stores?

Posted on February 24, 2012February 24, 2012 by Shireen

NO, my man would never buy clothes, bags and other stuff for me and my kids from online stores. But yes if it’s done at a physical shop. My man never buys anything online. Well, none that I know of. Ever since I started an online shop 3 years ago, my clothes and my kids…

Throes of Motherhood… Worrying About Your Unwell Child Who’s In School

Posted on February 22, 2012February 23, 2012 by Shireen

Alycia was feeling a tad under the weather yesterday. She kept asking me to touch her forehead. If my girls ever ask me to touch their foreheads, I know that they feel feverish and unwell. Alycia was having a runny nose and a productive cough. The sound of the phlegm in her throat each time…

When There’s Only 1 Left For 3 Hungry Mouths

Posted on February 19, 2012 by Shireen

On the Saturday that we were home without kakak, the girls and I had a bit of fun. After roping them to do some house work where everyone enjoyed, I wanted to reward them with Magnum ice cream. However there was only 1 stick of Magnum left and all 3 girls wanted the part of…

Valentines Day 2012

Posted on February 15, 2012February 14, 2012 by Shireen

I never expected to get a bouquet of flowers from my dear hubs this Valentine’s Day. Ever since the girls came along, our Valentine’s Day came and go without much fanfare, except for a cake. And we normally get a cake just so the kids could have fun cutting, blowing the candles (1 candle each…

English For Standard 1

Posted on February 14, 2012March 30, 2012 by Shireen

I got a shock when I saw Sherilyn’s English homework from the Chinese primary school that she goes to. What has happened to the standard of English? How can it be so simple? I could not believe what I had seen. She had done all these when she was in her first two years of…

Giving Her The Benefit Of Doubt

Posted on February 13, 2012February 13, 2012 by Shireen

During the short CNY holiday, I bought new water tumblers for the girls. I change their water tumblers once every 2 months or whenever I see too many scratches or stains on the bottle. When I bought them, Alycia and Sherilyn were not together with me. They were at the book store with their daddy….

Alycia and Sherilyn’s First UCMAS Class In School

Posted on February 10, 2012February 10, 2012 by Shireen

I was waiting rather anxiously the whole of yesterday for their return from school. I could not wait to hear from them what they did in their first UCMAS class, how they liked the UCMAS teacher, did Alycia loose the money that I gave her for her to pass to the teacher and what they…

Never-ending List of Worries

Posted on February 9, 2012February 9, 2012 by Shireen

Yesterday was the first day that Alycia had to stay back after school for compulsory extra curricular activities. Ever since the incident last year where the van driver left her out in school and told me that she did not know where she was upon reaching our condo (GOSH, I almost fainted!!), I have this…

Casting A Spell On Her Che Che!

Posted on February 7, 2012February 7, 2012 by Shireen

Baby was bickering with her eldest che che over some trivial matters. When the squabble got out of hand, Baby took out her toy magic wand and ‘casted a spell’ on her che che like a witch… “Magic wand, TURN HER INTO A FROG NOW, TING!” and chanted this ‘spell’ several times until I burst…

To Have Or Not To Have A Maid?

Posted on February 5, 2012February 6, 2012 by Shireen

Our helper has followed my mil to the market early this morning. Over breakfast just now, I roped the 2 older girls to help out after breakfast. They helped to put back the jam and butter into the fridge, bring the dishes and cups to the sink to wash, wipe the table, sweep the floor…

Alycia’s Newest Obsession – One Piece!

Posted on February 1, 2012February 2, 2012 by Shireen

A few nights ago, my eldest was so happy that she could not sleep. Daddy came home and told her that he had gotten her a surprise, which is something that she likes very much. Today he gave the bag of surprise to Alycia, which is a bag of One Piece figurines bought from China…

Chinese New Year 2012

Posted on January 30, 2012January 30, 2012 by Shireen

It was yet another simple, uneventful yet happy CNY for us. Thankful for that. I have been reading a lot about freak accidents that happened during the CNY. It’s pretty depressing to read such news on a happy occasion. As long as my family is safe and everyone does not have any major health issues,…

Don’t Be A Lazy Bum!

Posted on January 28, 2012January 31, 2012 by Shireen

On normal days, I hardly have the time to sit in front of the TV or have the time to eat leisurely or do I have the time to do the things that I really like to do. Life for me is extremely hectic on normal days. My day starts at 5:45am and I can…
