These days, the weather has been freaking sweltering. Poor Alycia, when she comes home from school in the afternoon, both her cheeks will be as red as a lobster.Ā On most days, both her white shirt and blue pinafore will be soaked with her sweat. I tell yer, Alycia comes home from school looking like a construction worker after a hard day’s work! Not only would she be sweating profusely, her knees and hands are really bad and her bag would be dusty and torn. I had thrown 2 of her smaller bags away, which sheĀ puts her calligraphy stuff. They looked as if they were burntĀ and bitten by aĀ dogĀ LOL!!!! I kid you not, it’s so true and I must snap a pic of the next torn bag. I suspect she hung the small bag on her trolley bag and dragged the smaller bag on the road.Ā Initially I thought the bag was burnt by the driver’s car exhaust pipe haha!
Though she badly wants a cool shower the minute she steps into the house, my mil would forbid her from doing so, lest she gets ‘lon pan’ (some kind of skin pigmentation caused by contact with water on a sweaty skin.Ā Whatcha callĀ this skin condition?). To cool her down, I normally give her a mug of cold drink / juiceĀ with ice cubes.
Nothing is more refreshing on a hot day than downing a mug ofĀ cold drink with ice cubes.

The words of wisdom from the elderlies are priceless. I used to think their ways of eating certain foods according to the seasons were nonsense..until I have my own kids and saw how right they are. I think our world climate is changing and it’s pretty scary. We’ve been having continuous rains since January and cool to cold weather.
Your daughters are gorgeous… pinkish cheeks…. I like š
That smile says it all! Pure total relief! Tey something else to cool her down…roll up a damp facecloth and stick it in the freezer for 30mins or so and let her wipe down when she comes home. Go over the ears and ard the neck..really works. When I was pregnant and we had a heatwave here, I’d even wear the frozen facecloth ard my neck and go ard. like that.
She got very cute dimples.
Ya nowadays weather is hot. Make her some fresh chill fruits & vege juice for refreshment.
hey, you have a pretty gal le….
Your girl is so pretty!!! Beware mummy! š
