Today was Alycia’s first ballet concert and her first ever concert in her life. Alycia has only been attending 8 months of ballet lessons and she joined her other classmates who have been learning ballet for 1-2 years in the concert. It’s a shame I couldn’t attend the concert as the entire concert lasted around 2…
When I was feeding Baby C her antibiotics at our garden yesterday, I chit-chatted with my neighbor, a grandmother in her 70s. Though I have been staying in this neighborhood for 2 years, we rarely talk to each other, safe for saying ‘hi’ and ‘bye’ when we meet. But yesterday, this grand old dame was…
On Monday, Alycia’s teacher informed us that there will be a concert rehearsal at a rented public hall in town on Tuesday. The actual concert will be held next month. All participating students are to wear white shoes and white socks. A school bus will ferry the students from the kindergarten to the hall on…
The pediatric surgeon whom we are consulting now has advised us to increase the prophylactics antibiotics intake for Baby C to twice a day. He told us to do that for 2 weeks and thereafter, to do another urine culture test to see if there are still bacteria in Baby C’s urine. I am really…
My mil is a coffee lover, so much so that she even has a special coffee grinder to grind coffee beans so that she has a cup of very aromatic coffee every morning. This is the coffee-maker / coffee bean grinder Whenever Alycia and Sher see mah mah grinding the coffee beans, they will surely…
I always hear my teenage cousins talk about Habbo and at a party last week, I asked my cousin what Habbo is. Habbo is a global, online social network aimed specifically at teenagers. It features a large number of “rooms” where users can get together, and the whole thing is presented as if taking place…
All my 3 kids were expensive babies, with Alycia being the most expensive baby as she was a baby conceived via IUI, a type of artificial insemination. Sherilyn and Baby C were DIY (do-it-yourself J) babies but they were still expensive coz I took loads of hormone drugs and jabs to sustain the pregnancies and…
Sherilyn has a bad runny nose. She hardly has runny nose but this time, it has been quite bad. I had expected her to get frequent colds as she has just started pre-school. For the past 2 weeks, thick goo has been flowing out from her nostrils like worms…. and they really do look gross, especially when…
Our nephrologist said that cranberry juice is good for preventing UTI and even recommended it to Baby C but Baby C hates it coz it’s darn sour! Most of the time, she would almost puke when she drinks the diluted cranberry juice. So what I do now is that I mix some sweet fresh apple juice…
We had dinner at Tea For Two @ Bangsar last Friday. I ordered an oxtail soup which was very tasty. The meat was very tender and flavorful. I also had a large bowl of salad with lots of olives, bacon bites and grilled chicken breast. This restaurant serves Western food and has quite a cosy…
I used to have calluses and blisters on my toes but they went away by itself when I stopped jogging for almost a year during my pregnancy and after the birth of Baby C. Now that I have resumed running intensively everyday, the darn blisters and calluses have resurfaced on my toes, bummer! I wonder…
…. when I saw red lines that looked like bloody scratch lines all over her eyebrows and forehead 2 days ago. This happened barely a week after Sher drew her mouth with a black color pencil. I was bending down to wipe her mouth and forehead in the kitchen. When I swept her fringe away from her…
