Posted on April 30, 2009April 30, 2009 by Shireen

I’d like to wish everyone happy labour day and a fruitful long weekend with your family and loved ones. So what will I be up to this long weekend? Nothing much except packing stuff for our week-long hospital stay in Penang and subsequent week-long stay in Ipoh for Baby C to recuperate. Alycia will be…

A Solution To Your Events

Posted on April 30, 2009April 30, 2009 by Shireen

Many years ago, when I was still working in a large organization, the company threw a huge family day outing for all the staff in one of the years. It was held in the Sunway Lagoon water park. I went with my hubby (then boyfriend) and we enjoyed ourselves very much, especially sliding down the…

I Will Go On A Cruise Holiday Someday

Posted on April 30, 2009 by Shireen

It’s quite a battle for me to feed Baby C her meals everyday. I think she could sense that I am trying to plump her up with food just before her surgery next week. These days when she sees food, she would turn her head away and fuss a little. No longer can she sit…

Sherilyn The Menace

Posted on April 30, 2009April 30, 2009 by Shireen

My #2 is indeed a menace. Everyone tells me it’s because of the middle-child syndrome but frankly, I don’t think I’m like this at all since I’m also a #2 child myself. Less than a year ago hubby bought me a new handphone as my old one went kaput when #2 dropped it. A few…

Emergency Lightings And Exit Signs To Save Your Day

Posted on April 30, 2009 by Shireen

One day a few months back, I was at home with the kids alone when all of a sudden there was a power shutdown. It was almost pitch black inside our home and I stumbled and groped my way slowly to the drawer to find a torch light. When I finally found it, darn it,…

Aftermath of Meals

Posted on April 28, 2009 by Shireen

That’s a typical scene at our dining area after feeding Baby C her meals…. toys strewn everywhere, food stuck on her high chair and floor and I have to remove her clothes and wash her up. My sweetie-pie is so skinny hor? I hope after the surgery next week, she won’t have a ‘skin wrapped round bones’…

Ocean-Green Seafood Restaurant, Penang

Posted on April 27, 2009April 27, 2009 by Shireen

When we were in Penang recently, we had a very lovely seafood dinner at a restaurant situated by the sea. I was lucky I could enjoy my dinner with hubby coz Baby C dozed off. She normally would not take her nap at that time (7ish pm) but because she had interrupted nap the whole…

Call-In Massage

Posted on April 26, 2009April 26, 2009 by Shireen

When we were in Penang recently, I seized the rare golden opportunity and hired a masseuse from the hotel to give me a full body Bali massage. It was an eleventh hour decision. After dinner that night, hubby saw the adv on massage stuck on the wall of the hotel elevator. He said he wanted a massage…

Our Flight To Penang

Posted on April 26, 2009 by Shireen

Our flight to Penang on board a Fire Flyz plane on Thursday was eventful. Baby C was absolutely petrified when she was inside the plane… and she was screaming and crying away, non-stop. Nothing seemed to placate her, save for my boops! It was an extremely hot day and the air-cond inside the plane wasn’t…

Almost Like A Honeymoon Vacation

Posted on April 25, 2009May 17, 2009 by Shireen

Our 2-day trip in Penang recently felt almost like a honeymoon vacation than a trip to bring our baby to see the new pediatric surgeon. We did almost everything that honeymooners do – from having a nice seafood dinner by the sea to shopping and even had a long romantic stroll by the beach. It…

Math For 5-Year Olds… Too Difficult?

Posted on April 22, 2009 by Shireen

Honestly, do you think that these equations are a tad too advanced for 5-year old pre-schoolers? When I explained to her how to go about solving the equations, I really doubted that she remembered everything, i.e. what she has to do when the empty box is in front, when the empty box is behind, when…

Our Flight To Penang

Posted on April 21, 2009April 25, 2009 by Shireen

We recently boarded a Fire Flyz plane to Penang for our appointment with the pediatric surgeon. We chose Fire Flyz as the departure of all Fire Flyz flights was via the old international airport at Subang. Hubby and I were really impressed that the former international airport now has spots a new look after some…

Deja Vu

Posted on April 20, 2009April 25, 2009 by Shireen

Lately I keep having this dream where I am at a beach resort with my family. I think this dream will very soon become a reality coz Baby C’s impending surgery would most likely have to be performed by this pediatric surgeon who is based in a private hospital in Penang. We were told by the surgeon…
