This Is Daddy
That’s Sherilyn’s drawing of daddy’s head, with no hair, no ears and a tiny neck LOL! She loves drawing and coloring and her writing skill has also improved. She can trace letters and numbers quite well and can even write a few letters of the alphabet without having me to dot them for her. Whenever Alycia does her homework,…
Pregnancy Rash
I have recently developed these tiny red and itchy pregnancy rash on my belly. The rashes tend to flare up and become red when I am hot and sweaty. They are rather itchy and if I scratch them, the itch is even more intense. I try hard not to scratch them but when they are really itchy,…

My Daughters The Future Fashion Designers?
My 2 daughters are real vain pots, just like mummy. Though they are under 5 year old, they have already acquired a good sense of fashion in the way they dress up and in their choice of clothing. I won’t be surprised if they tell me that they want to go to some famous fashion schools…
Back To School Again
Today is the first day of the second school term for school kids after a week-long school holidays. Alycia woke up early and reached school early today.

Some time in the year 2006 when there were widespread cases of bird flu in some parts of the world and also in our country, hubby began to panic when there were news that supply for Tamiflu, the antidote for bird flu was running really low worldwide. He quickly went to the pharmacy and bought several…
Flashcards
Alycia’s pre-school gives tons of flashcards (English, BM and Mandarin) to students each week. For kids with busy working parents, I wonder if anyone at home ever flashes the cards to them. While it is really good to be receiving the flashcards from the school, the parent really needs to spend some time everyday to…
