My 2 Earnest Helpers

My 2 older gals can be of great help to me when it comes to handling and minding Baby C, especially Alycia, who takes my requests seriously, most of the time.  As for Sherilyn, she is always very playful.  Sometimes she would ignore my requests and most times, she would create havoc rather than lend a helping hand.  Today, she bounced…

Really Warm-Blooded

Baby C’s body is always hot and she sweats really easily. When she was a newborn, I used to put on long-sleeved rompers for her at night but now, I have to let her wear short-sleeved t-shirts with holes and long pants with holes  at night…. and she sleeps in an air-conditioned room with the temperature…

Baby C Is 6 Months Old Today

How time flies, my baby is 6 months old today.  Baby C is one very, very cheeky baby. She’s always very curious, alert and observant. When she’s brought to a place where she’s never been before, she will inspect the place with great intent with her eyes.  When it comes to nursing her, I have…

Low Fat Or Full Cream?

Each time I drink low fat milk or eat low fat yoghurt, my mil and well-meaning relatives would be commenting that I should not be consuming low fat dairy products since I am breastfeeding exclusively.  They tell me that I should be eating full cream dairy products so that my milk would be thicker, thus fills Baby…

I Almost Ate Some Wriggly Worms

A few mornings ago, I cut a passion fruit into half and scooped out the seeds and when I was about to put the spoonful of passion fruit seeds into my mouth, I saw something wriggling amongst the seeds of the passion fruit which was still attached to the skin.  On taking a closer look, I was…

An Unforgettable Honeymoon In Phuket

My honeymoon in Phuket, Thailand was an eventful one. Not only did I suffer injuries to my foot during a snorkeling trip (which eventually required a minor surgery), it was also the first time I ever saw a ship on fire. We were on the ferry, on our way back to Phuket from Phi Phi…

New Pink Scooter

Aly and Sher finally got what they had longed for when daddy bought them a pink scooter last week. It was the 2nd day of Hari Raya and daddy had brought them to MegaKidz @ Mid Valley Megamall. I stayed home with Baby C…. as usual… sigh…. Daddy didn’t want to bring Baby C to…

Alycia, My Super Sensitive Child

I never imagined that Alycia would cry when Sherilyn said “I don’t friend you” over dinner yesterday.  Since attending pre-school, they are very fond of saying “I friend you” and “I don’t friend you“.   Alycia has even picked up the line “I will shoot you with my gun”… which I will also chide her off…

Our Sunday

Our initial plan today was to pack home some hawkers’ food to eat after church.  But when I was lost for ideas on what to eat, hubby brought us to Jaya 1 in PJ, the nearest place to our church.  As usual, Alycia and Sher voted to eat pasta and spaghetti, one of their all-time favorites.  So we went to Santini…

Alycia Knows How To Call Daddy On The Handphone Now

The girls seldom see daddy as he normally comes home late.  When they miss him, they will ask me to call him so that they can talk to him on the phone.  Most times, they will pester daddy to buy them things and to bring them out or to remind daddy to come home early for…

I Miss Wearing My Jewelry

Ever since Baby C’s arrival, I have stopped wearing my gold jewelry and they are all safe kept in the bank now. I don’t even wear my watch now though I’d love to wear it. I tried wearing a watch once but I had accidentally scratched Baby C’s leg with the watch. It’s safer to…

The One With Neverending Antics And Ideas

and it always has to be my #2. Sherilyn oh Sherilyn! Sherilyn hates to take her afternoon nap, unless she’s really very sick and feeling groggy, from the after effects of the meds. If she can have it her way, she would play from dawn till dusk and wouldn’t wannna sleep, eat or shower. The…

Baby C Eats Fruits From A Food Feeder

Baby C loves apples.  On some days, I would reward her by letting her suck on an apple after she had taken her antibiotics.  The other day, I finally brought out the Munchkin food feeder which had been kept in a Tupperware container in the freezer for almost 3 years… untouched and not used and it still looked new!  It once…

Dinner At Prince Hotel

We had dinner with hubby’s relatives at the Chinese restaurant of Prince Hotel last night.   There is a 50% discount off a-la-carte menus on-going, which will end soon. We ordered one whole Peking duck, stir-fried venison, a very tasty cod fish, a unique dish of grilled eel, chicken, 2 plates of veggie and some gastronomical desserts. While we were…
