Reading Frenzy

Posted on November 12, 2011November 12, 2011 by Shireen

My soon-to-be 8YO girl has been in a reading frenzy for the past few months. As a reward to her for doing well in her recent final exam, we brought her to MPH to shop for some books last night. That was a promise from me to her before the exam. And a promise is…

Of School Exams and Placement In Class

Posted on November 11, 2011 by Shireen

My almost 8-year old came home from school today and gladly announced that her position is the 5th in class. To add icing to the cake, she also told me that she, together with a few of her classmates will be going to the top class next year! When I heard that, I had mixed…

A Bento Set A Day

Posted on November 10, 2011 by Shireen

Here’s yet another bento set lunch for my girls prepared this week, something that’s quick to prepare and does not need elaborate preparation and cooking. For busy working mums like me, you can cook a big portion and deep freeze in smaller portions for future consumption. The Terriyaki chicken strips go well along with rice…

Love Letter From An 8-Year Old Boy

Posted on November 8, 2011November 8, 2011 by Shireen

I got a major shock of my life today when I read a note, written in brown magic color ink which I had snatched away from my almost 8-YO girl today. It was a love note written by one Danny from her class, which goes: Dear Sweetie Pie I love you. When I grow up…

Munching My Blues and Stress Away

Posted on November 7, 2011November 7, 2011 by Shireen

Nothing melts away the blues and stress more effectively than munching on some chips, ice cream and chocolates. When I’m under stress, both from the rascals and work, I munch the blues away. There are some more stashed in the freezer and fridge muahahahaha!! Here’s a drawer filled with my favorite not-so-unhealthy snacks ( I…

Bye Bye Angry Birds, Welcome Smurfs and Animal Kaiser!

Posted on November 5, 2011November 5, 2011 by Shireen

I think I can say good bye to Angry Birds and start to welcome yet another craze in my home. Just like any other kids, my girls are riding in the Smurfs band wagon now but their obsession is not as bad as Angry Birds. Good ol’ sporting granny has bought them each a nice…

Durian King

Posted on November 3, 2011 by Shireen

It’s all in the genes. This little rascal loves durian to bits and so do her 2 che ches. No one in the family dislikes durian. Whenever it’s the durian season, there will surely be boxes of durians stashed in the fridge. That will be my breakfast everyday until the supply of durian in the…

Learning A New Word Everyday

Posted on November 2, 2011November 1, 2011 by Shireen

She learned yet another new word yesterday, which is ‘anti-dote’. During the day when I am busy at work, my baby girl will draw, write, learn from the iPad2 and laptop and watch TV. For the past few days, she is hooked on Barbie. She watches the Barbie DVDs over and over again but it…

Happiness Is When…

Posted on November 1, 2011November 1, 2011 by Shireen

… there is piping hot and delish food sent to your doorstep! And I am so so happy today as I don’t have to cook lunch for my 3 rascals!! Ya know, I hate the smell of oil all over my clothes and hair each time I cook, not to mention a face masked with…

Happy Halloween Peeps!

Posted on October 29, 2011October 30, 2011 by Shireen

Halloween is celebrated on a low scale in our country. But I think we are slowly catching up. We don’t celebrate Halloween and my kids have never attended any Halloween party. Today we spent our evening at Bangsar Village to feel the air of Halloween. Bangsar Village being one of the in places for expats…

Baby and Alycia

Posted on October 28, 2011October 28, 2011 by Shireen

They must have been twins or lovers in their previous lives, if there is really such a thing as previous life. She misses her baby sister very much every day when she’s away in school. Each morning before she leaves the house, she will give her baby sister a hug and pinch her cheeks. I…

Behind The Pretty Face….

Posted on October 27, 2011October 27, 2011 by Shireen

She may look girlish, is soft-spoken, speaks politely to her teachers and to the elders, demure and very pretty but this girl likes nothing girlish – no Hello Kitty or Princess, no pink, no frills, no sexy frocks, no pretty sandals, NO! She is the exact opposite of Sherilyn. What she likes are toys for…

iZest For Better Posture

Posted on October 26, 2011October 26, 2011 by Shireen

Did you ever notice that people who have perfect posture not only look confident but also have a nice physique without a flab on the front? I have been observing and noticing this lately. I have several friends who are not slim, yet they do not have a jelly belly. That’s because they have very…

Video Skyping With Granny

Posted on October 23, 2011October 23, 2011 by Shireen

My parents spoil the girls rotten. My girls know it and they take advantage of goong goong and granny’s indulgence by badgering them for things all the time. Now, they do it through Skype video call! Their latest craze is Smurfs and the ever indulgent granny bought the girls each a very cute Smurfs t-shirt….

You Look Like An Owl Che Che!

Posted on October 20, 2011October 20, 2011 by Shireen

Alycia has been bugging me to trim her hair but busy mummy kept forgetting. Chinese schools are pretty strict with discipline and physical tidiness. If you want long hair – bun it up neatly. If not, make sure the back of your hair does not touch the collar. Duh, what a rule! Anyway, thank God…
