Homemade Soya Bean Milk

Posted on August 6, 2008August 6, 2008 by Shireen

My mum gave me her Cosway soya bean milk maker when she came last week. With this maker, I can make my own soya bean milk every other day. Not only is homemade soya bean milk healthier, tastier and thicker, it is also way cheaper than the ones sold outside or packet ones. All I…

Young Achiever

Posted on August 6, 2008August 9, 2008 by Shireen

The owner of the hair salon that I go to drives a Porsche Carrera. I have no idea how this young chap in his early thirties manages to own a hair salon and an expensive car. During a chat with him 2 days ago when I went for my hair cut, he told me that he…

Cassandra Can Finally Flip Over Like A Pro

Posted on August 5, 2008August 5, 2008 by Shireen

I better put this on record before I forget. Since yesterday, Baby C can flip over like a pro within seconds whenever she’s placed on her back. She now doesn’t like to be placed on her back anymore. Today, Baby C is 4 days shy of turning 4 months old. Baby C also gets distracted very…

Loving Mah Mah

Posted on August 4, 2008 by Shireen

Mah Mah left for HK on Saturday last week and thereafter for Japan the following day. Before she left, she went to the market to buy fruits, vegetables, fish, meat and some dried food stuff for us. She’s always like this. Before she goes back to HK or NZ each time, she will fill the…

Mandarin For 3 Year Olds

Posted on August 3, 2008 by Shireen

That’s Sherilyn’s Mandarin homework. Yes, you read me right. It’s my 3 yo’s Mandarin homework from pre-school and being a yellow banana, I have no idea how to guide her in Mandarin. Don’t you think this is just too tough for a 3 yo? I am fortunate that my mil was around for the past 3.5 months…

Alycia And Baby C

Posted on August 1, 2008 by Shireen

I had prohibited Alycia from getting near or touching Baby C for more than a week as she had a runny nose and a bad throat. She got better 2 days ago and the ‘restriction order’ was lifted. She was so glad and could not help touching her baby sister. When I wasn’t looking, she even…

If Only Our Government Hospitals Could Provide Better Customer Service And Facilities

Posted on August 1, 2008August 1, 2008 by Shireen

One of the reasons why I delivered all my babies at this particular hospital is that I am truly satisfied with the ambience and cleanliness of the hospital plus the customer service rendered by this hospital. Within a short span of 5 years, (I delivered my first child in the year 2003 and my 3rd child…

Update On Cassandra’s Kidney Reflux

Posted on July 31, 2008 by Shireen

We brought Baby C to HUKM to see the nephrologist today. An ultrasound scan was also performed on her kidneys. The right kidney is still moderately dilated and the left kidney is fine. She has a grade 3 Kidney Reflux, thus the reason the right kidney is dilated. The nephrologist said that if she has…

Haze Is Back Again

Posted on July 31, 2008August 6, 2008 by Shireen

Bummer, bummer, bummer, the haze is back again! I just don’t understand what’s it with our government. Why aren’t they taking any effective measures to prevent the haze from coming back? Each time the haze is back, I would read from the newspapers that the government is taking measures to prevent the haze but why…

Daddy And Baby C

Posted on July 30, 2008July 30, 2008 by Shireen

Check out daddy with Cassandra here. Though daddy is seldom at home, when he’s home, thank God Baby C still recognizes him and loves being with him. Baby C has been really clingy the past several days. She only wants to be carried whenever she’s awake and does not want to be left alone on her…

Bouncing No More

Posted on July 29, 2008 by Shireen

Baby C can no longer sit on the bouncinet during the day whenever she’s awake. Each time she’s placed on the bouncinet, she will turn to her side and then tries to flip over. She almost fell off the bouncinet here while trying to flip over. That was 3 days ago. I now place her on…

Get Cheap Auto Engines Online

Posted on July 29, 2008 by Shireen

The recent global fuel price hike has caused a vicious spiral of rising prices of most things. A simple lunch of pasta, spaghetti, pizza and soups that we had at a restaurant today for 6 adults and 2 kids cost us more than two hundred bucks. Even the prices of auto parts and engines have…

Sherilyn’s Chicken Pox-Infested Body

Posted on July 28, 2008 by Shireen

Though Sherilyn has Chicken Pox, she does not appear to have CP the slightest bit. She is still as active as ever, has no fever, does not feel malaise at all, is eating rice and everything that a healthy person is eating, has great appetite and thankfully the spots are all hidden (under her clothes). Don’t know if…

Expelling Phlegm

Posted on July 28, 2008July 28, 2008 by Shireen

Poor Baby C has a huge built-up amount of phlegm stuck in her throat. Her cough sounds chesty and ‘phlegmy’. Each time she coughs, she will cry as the phelgm will be stuck in her throat and irritating her, to the point of making her puke. Yesterday, my mil put Baby C on her tummy on…

Surgeries No More

Posted on July 27, 2008August 5, 2008 by Shireen

I hope I never have to undergo another surgery. My Ob&Gyn and gastroenterologist told me after the birth of Baby C recently that my body cannot tolerate another surgery. After each c-section, the tendons, bladder, uterus and other internal organs in my body would adhere to one another, which resulted in my Ob&Gyn having to…

Sherilyn Has Chicken Pox And Baby C Got Bitten By The Cold Bug

Posted on July 27, 2008July 27, 2008 by Shireen

I think I can confirm that Sherilyn has chicken pox as she had fever last night, with a temperature of 38 degrees Celcius. However, she was and is still very active and is still yakking and singing away non-stop. I think her Chicken Pox is only a mild attack as she had her Chicken Pox jab taken when…
