Things That Only Rascal #2 Would Do

This incident happened about 3 weeks ago when we were at Times Square. After a day of fun at the Cosmo’s World indoor theme park, we had lunch at a Chinese restaurant at Times Square. While waiting for the food to arrive, I walked to the FOS outlet. Rascal #2 said she wanted to pee,…

How To Increase Online Sales

Business at my online blogshop was pretty good before the Chinese New Year festival. Many of my customers purchased at least 2-3 items per transaction. Now that the Chinese New Year festival is almost over, sales have slowed down a wee bit. I haven’t done much advertising for my blogshop from the start as I didn’t really…

On A Sweltering Day

This was what my 2 older gals did on a hot day after they returned home from lunch outside: The ‘tai kwai tau’ (ring leader!) dug out my cold pack from the freezer and put it on her body.  She then wet a hanky and put it on her head.  Then she helped herself to…

Alycia’s Calligraphy Display

Alycia came back from her second calligraphy class in school last week and proudly showed me her works: Alycia was selected by her class teacher to be in the school’s calligraphy team recently. She has to attend classes once a week and if she is good enough after training, she will represent her school in…

Happy 5th Birthday Sherilyn!

5 years ago today was the 8th day of the Chinese New Year. I remember everything very vividly from the morning through night how everything transpired. It was an elective c-section and my little rascal was delivered at 38th week of gestation. The very first time we met, my eyes went watery. Even her first…

A Near-Miss Heart Attack

I almost had a heart attack on Friday last week. Baby had climbed up the couch and was pushing the sliding mozzie net on the window. When one panel of the mozzie net went off the track, I tried to fix it. It really ain’t easy putting the sliding mozzie net panel back on track….

Eating With A Timeline

Rascal #2 is the most ‘lau hei’ girl (dilly dally) I have ever known. She is as cool as a cucumber all the time and has no urgency to hurry up to do anything – drink her milk in the morning, wash up and brush her teeth, dress up, do her homework and eat her…

I Wan Wear Shoes!

Remember my earlier post on Baby’s new Hello Kitty Crocs that I bought last Friday? She could not wait any further to start wearing her new Hello Kitty Crocs and the next morning, when she saw daddy leaving the house, she ran to the front door, got hold of her Crocs and said “I wan wear…

Baby’s Latest Craze

Baby’s latest craze is climbing up table tops and then grab a pen, pencil, marker pen, highlighter or whatever that has color and go doodling on any paper or book she sees. Here she is in action: Scribbling on Sherilyn jie jie’s pre-school’s flash cards…. Scribbling on Alycia jie jie’s rough book.  Though Alycia loves Baby…

Good Time To Buy Gold Bullion

Gold is still a very much preferred investment these days as the price of gold is still standing strong. Many people are buying gold these days either in the form of gold jewelry, gold bar or gold bullion. About a decade ago, I had received quite a substantial number of gold jewelry from friends and…

Fake Or Original Crocs? (Part II)

When I went to the pasar malam last week, I saw the man peddling his Crocs shoes at the side of the road again. I did not have intention of buying but my hands were itchy, so I took a look. What caught my eyes were this pair of white Hello Kitty Crocs with the picture of…

Baby’s Nightly Routine

I think I will have not much problems weaning Baby from co-sleeping with us on our king-sized bed. That’s because she absolutely adores sleeping with her 2 jie jies. Each night before she goes to bed with me, she will run to her jie jies’ bedroom, climb up their beds, pull up their blanky to cover…

Light, Simple And She Likes It!

One afternoon last week, I was searching for lunch ideas for Baby. All her cooked frozen food in the freezer were utilized and I was too lazy to cook. Plus, I didn’t want Baby to get sick of eating pasta, spaghetti, green tea or buckwheat noodles and fried vermicelli all the time. So I prepared something really…
