Being the 1st child, I spent the most time reading and playing with Alycia when she was a baby. Next was Sherilyn. I spent the least time reading and playing with Baby. Because of her medical condition since birth until she was 15 months old (after the surgeries to fix her problem), we spent a…
A Mother’s Perpetual Worries
Though it’s been more than a year Alycia is taking paid private transport to and from school, I will still start to miss her and worry about her each time she gets into the van in the morning, when the skies are still dark. I worry about her a lot and will say a prayer…
The Downside Of Hiring A Transporter
Remember my post last month about the van driver who left Alycia behind in school and I thought she was kidnapped? Another drama happened in the van today.When Alycia came back from school today, she announced this to me “mummy, today Adrian vomited on me. He vomited on my clothes!” I quickly asked…
Yummy Home-cooked Dishes
For those of you who are deprived of home-cooked dishes, sorry if I made you drool and your tummy rumble with these dishes that my mil and hubs’ aunt cooked: ‘Jai’ (vegetarian dish). I can survive on nothing but this dish for a day or two. Just love all the ingredients used to cook this…
Determination And Hard Work To Stay Slim Again
As I was ransacking the storeroom to look for a Malay-English dictionary for Alycia last week, I stumbled upon some of the books that I had bought aeons ago on low-carb diet, including one on Atkins Diet. My attention diverted from the dictionary to the diet books immediately. I brought out the book on Atkins…
Sherilyn And Her Math
I normally go through the use of threats to get Sherilyn to do her homework or work that I’ve given her. With all the dilly-dallying and a bucket full of excuses from her, she sometimes takes days to complete 2 pages of Math questions from the Kumon workbooks that I bought for her. But sometimes,…
My Cili Padi
The idiot box is not completely an idiotic box as my girls are learning many new words from watching TV programs. But if I am not careful with their selection of TV programs, it’s akin to allowing them to play with fire. One vulgar sentence that they have picked up from the tellie is “what…
Therapeutic Horseback Riding And Pony Insurance
My girls love their trips back at my parents’ in Ipoh. One of the activities that they really look forward to is the daily morning walk to the nearby hill side to look at the horses and ponies. Every morning at around 7am, a school of horses and ponies will be let out from the…
Teaching Baby To Read
Both my older girls attended 4 years of pre-school. Alycia started pre-school just after her 3rd birthday and Sherilyn at 3.5 years old. Sherilyn is in her last year of pre-school this year. For Baby, I’ve decided to delay sending her to pre-school until she turns 4yo next year. If you are a die-hard reader…
Cakes and coffee at Alexis on Valentine’s Day
On Valentine’s Day, we had dinner with our old friends at The Han Room @ Gardens. Damage done was RM700++ per table (total 2 tables). After dinner, we headed to Alexis Bistro for cakes, coffee and to chit chat. We left after midnight. Looking seductive as they are, these cakes taste heavenly too. Too bad…
Sherilyn’s 6th birthday
On the eve of Sherilyn’s 6th birthday, we brought her to Mid Valley Megamall / Gardens to celebrate. On her actual birthday, daddy bought her a simple cake from RT Pastry House for the cake cutting and photography session at home. Daddy has ordered another princess jelly cake for her, for her 3rd celebration this…
My Princess Wannabe Is 6 Years Old!
This is the picture of Sherilyn when she was almost 1 month old. Looking at this picture which I took 6 years ago, I can’t believe how fast time is zooming past me. Sherilyn was born on the 8th day of the Lunar New Year in 2005. I remember very clearly that on the night…
Born On The Same Date And Same Year
Jasmine and I had been trying to fix a date for the kids to meet. Shan Rae and Cassandra were born on the same date and same year, thus we were really eager for the two to meet. But each time we fixed a date, something cropped up and the appointment had to be canceled….
Happy Valentine’s Day!
There will be no candle light dinner for us, no flowers from him, no present from him and we even forgot that it’s V Day today until I read the newspapers while working out on the Air Walker at the gym this morning. Unlike 10 years ago where he will surely book a candle light…
Delicious Sinful Supper At Delicious
Last night we had a Chinese New Year reunion dinner with my hubs’ relatives at Extra Super Tanker Chinese Restaurant at Damansara. Throughout dinner last night, hubs wasn’t in a mood to eat his dinner. Instead, he was in a mood to eat cakes!. He was craving to eat the rich, moist chocolate cake and…
Pet Insurance Is A Necessity
Today a good friend of mine showed me some pictures of her sister’s month-old puppies. Her sister has a pair of Golden Retrievers (a female and male) and mummy Golden Retriever recently gave birth to a litter of 6 pups. Sadly 1 died shortly after birth. The pups are oh so adorable. My 3 girls…
