My January Shopping Spree at Ikea

Posted on January 25, 2012 by Shireen

My driver finally had the time to bring me to Ikea to claim my January cash reward last week, just 2 days before it expired. Making a trip to Ikea will now be a monthly affair for the next 11 months and I am loving it as I will get to add a new piece…

Our Eve of The New Water Dragon Year

Posted on January 23, 2012January 25, 2012 by Shireen

It was a breeze driving into Mid Valley City and it only took us under 5 minutes to get a nice parking space yesterday… for once! Many KL-ites had already left the city for their hometowns to celebrate CNY. This year we are staying put in KL again. We waited for almost 40 minutes just…

Throes of Motherhood…and stumped!

Posted on January 20, 2012January 20, 2012 by Shireen

A few days ago, I was stumped when Alycia said this to me the moment she sat down at the dining table to start eating her lunch. “mummy, can you please not say anything and let me eat in peace? Don’t say anything from now until after my nap ok?“ I asked her if I…

Mad Rush Over :)

Posted on January 18, 2012January 18, 2012 by Shireen

The past 1 month high business volume and mad rush to send out my customers’ orders have ended today eeeeeyay!! Today I finally have the time to sit with my baby girl and teach her how to make paper stars origami. You see, I have a glass jar of colorful paper stars origami which I…

Without Solid Food For Over 17 Hours!

Posted on January 15, 2012 by Shireen

On the 2nd day of school last week, I gave Alycia a few Ringgit for her to buy food from the canteen. But she left her purse in her bag inside the classroom after she left the classroom during recess. Her teacher had warned the pupils not to enter the classroom during recess time, so…

The ‘Dilly Dalliest’ Girl Ever!

Posted on January 12, 2012January 12, 2012 by Shireen

And the award has to go to my #2. I thought she would turn over a new leaf once she starts P1 this year but NO NO NO! On day 1 – 4 Jan 2012 she was fast. She jumped out from bed and finished everything quickly and was ready by 6:30am. After a few…

Ochada @ Tokyo Street, Pavillion KL

Posted on January 8, 2012January 8, 2012 by Shireen

I love milk tea, minus the pearls. Well actually I like to chew on the pearls, which are made of tapioca powder, which is nothing but carbs, which means it is a no-no for my waist line. I still go swimming with the girls in my tight fitting 2-pc swim wear so starchy pearls are…

Kids Say The Darndest Things

Posted on January 4, 2012January 3, 2012 by Shireen

This is a long overdue post as this hilarious incident happened about 3 weeks ago when we were in Ipoh. I had given Cass a piece of paper and a pencil so that she could draw while I took my shower. When I came out from the bathroom and asked her what she was drawing,…

Our 2nd Day of 2012

Posted on January 2, 2012January 4, 2012 by Shireen

We spent our second day of the new year at Pavillion today. After lunch at a Japanese fast food restaurant (can’t recall the name), we lingered around at Tokyo Street before shopping at Daiso. The hubs who likes Japanese food and snacks patronized many of the shops selling Japanese snacks from Kindori ice cream to…

Tons of Patience

Posted on January 1, 2012January 1, 2012 by Shireen

Of my 3 girls, I think Cassandra has the most patience or should I say, she has the longest attention span in whatever she does. She also has nimble fingers and likes fixing things like jig saw puzzles, building stuff with Lego blocks and today I found out that she is also a handy-girl! Just…

Malacca Trip (26- 28 Dec 2011)

Posted on December 29, 2011December 29, 2011 by Shireen

Just got back from a 3-day 2-nite trip in Malacca. I think that will be our last time traveling to Malacca during peak period. It is now the school holidays, Xmas + year end holiday for many locals as well as for many overseas tourists. The whole of Malacca town was jam packed. People were…

Our X’mas Eve 2011

Posted on December 25, 2011December 26, 2011 by Shireen

Our family centers on food and gatherings to celebrate just about any occasion. There’s no other better way to make my man very merry than through very good food! For the first time, my foodie hubs roasted a big fat stuffed turkey for us. Since it was his very first time, he had to watch…

To Borders Again!

Posted on December 24, 2011December 23, 2011 by Shireen

Our shopping spree will never be complete without visiting the book store and leaving the store with a few books. Books are something that I don’t mind investing in. I have 3 girls. They can take turns to read and even when the youngest has finished reading them in future, I can sell them or…

Cute Things She Says

Posted on December 23, 2011 by Shireen

Out of stress and jadedness, I said this to Baby… Me – baby girl, I am so so tired working. I wish we had lots and lots of money so that I don’t need to work anymore… Baby – I can give you my money… ALL my money in my piggy-bank if you want! Me…

Throes of Being A WFHM

Posted on December 20, 2011December 21, 2011 by Shireen

During the school holidays, my blood pressure is often higher. Being cooped up at home with the kids 24/7 is NOT fun… especially for a work-from-home-mum. I get pressure from all corners all the time – from some very demanding and fussy customers, from suppliers, from the kids, personal/family matters and from the helper. Many…
