Terrorizer At Home

Guess who tore the canvass sheat beneath that dining table chair and yanked off the leg of the green Ikea stool?  No prize for guessing it right though hehehe!  That expensive dining table chair is only 9 months old and is already in this condition!  By the way, as regards the fried vermicelli soaked in tomato…

Our Short Vacation During The Long School Term Break

The long school term break will be here in just 2 months. Alycia and Sherilyn are all excited that they will be going to several places this school holiday. First we will bring them to Cameron Highlands for a big family get-together with my relatives. It will be the girls’ first ever visit to Cameron…

Sherilyn’s Tomato Sauce Fried Noodles

This is Sherilyn’s plate of fried vermicelli, soaked in 1/4 bottle of tomato sauce, which she poured onto the plate of noodles herself. She has a habit of getting sauces (and snacks) from the fridge and pour them herself without asking me, though she gets reprimanded umpteen times for doing that. When I reprimanded her,…

Shopping The Whole Day

We were out shopping at The Gardens and Mid Valley Megamall almost the whole day yesterday. We left the house at about 12 noon, had lunch at a nearby coffee shop and only returned home at around 8:30pm! It was also Baby’s first time hanging out of the house for so long. When we reached…

Getting Sherilyn To Clean Up The Mess She Makes

Not a single day passes by that Sherilyn does not spill drinks or drops food everywhere. I have been nagging her every day on end not to be so clumsy and to stop fidgeting and moving her entire body like an octopus when she eats or drinks so that drinks will not be spilled and…

Assortment Of Topics

I was sitting in front of the PC, cracking my head to come up with a proper title for this post as I have several things to write about. So I finally settled for ‘assortment of topics’. First thing first. Today is my mum’s 63rd birthday and I’d like to wish her a very happy birthday….

My Second Major Shock Yesterday Morning

Yesterday morning, I had 2 major shocks of my life. Both happened to Baby…. my poor poor Baby, it must be her unlucky day. At around 4am, I was jolted up from my sleep when I heard a loud thud and then Baby wailed. I knew she must have fallen off the bed. Baby still…

Bravest And Toughest Baby Ever

Baby C is one of the bravest and toughest babies I’ve ever known. What she had endured for the first 14 months of her life is what some adults would probably have to go through in his/her entire life. The immense pain and suffering that she had endured for the first 14 months of her…

Alycia The Loving Sister And Filial Daughter

The other day, out of curiousity, I asked Alycia who she loves the most – is it mummy, daddy, granny, mah mah, koong koong or baby? She didn’t give me an answer right away. Maybe she did not want to hurt anyone if she said she loved xxxx the most. So very shyly, she told…

Kids Nap The Darnest Ways

This is what usually happens if my 2 older monkeys try to avoid napping in the afternoon. Towards the evening, they will be drop dead exhausted when their batteries go dead and then they would doze off while watching the tellie, like this. The funny and amazing thing is that they can sleep really soundly in these positions.  They…

Car Accident

Hubby had a harrowing car accident yesterday evening. He was at Kerinchi Link when his car skidded on an oily road. He was only driving at 60km/hr and if he had gone faster, I shudder to think of the consequences. He sprained his shoulders and fingers though. Either a vehicle leaked oil or some heartless people…

Mini Bloggers’ Meet

We had a mini bloggers’ meet at Paik Ling’s house today.  Initially, only Wen, Jaclyn and I were confirmed going and we did not plan to have a bloggers’ meet there, not at all.  We just wanted to see Baby Bradley and pass a gift to Paik Ling.  But as it turned out, there were 7 of…

Silver And Gold

During my wedding 9 years ago, I had received quite a bit of gold jewelries from my parents, friends and relatives. I wore some of the jewelries for a short period of time, until the vogue for jewelries changed to silver and platinum. My gold jewelries are all safe kept in the bank now and…

Potty Training Baby C

Today Baby sat on her potty and did her poopie business. It really ain’t easy to ‘catch’ her just when she’s about to poop coz she has no fixed timing for her poopie business. But when she let out a fart and said ‘boo boo’ today, I quickly brought her to the potty. I taught…

Learning To Live Without A Live-In Maid

Remember my earlier post where I ranted that I had headache, backache and stress? I also mentioned that after giving Sherilyn a good whipping, this mischievous rascal sat down quietly, fuss-free and did her writing. Here’s the picture of her doing suku kata (phonics in Malay language) writing, which I had given her. She knows…
