It was yet another simple Mother’s Day celebration for us this year. We could not go to anywhere that’s too far or would take up too much time as both Alycia and Sherilyn will be sitting for their mid-term exam tomorrow. I am not too worried for Alycia but for Sherilyn, I have tried my utmost best to coach her and am hoping for the best for her. There were lots of ‘vomit-blood’ and ‘blood vessels eruption’ moments with Sherilyn, sigh… I hope that on her exam day, she will remember all that I have revised with her for the past few days.
After brunch at our favourite Casa Del Cocco cafe, we went home to have the not-to-be-missed candle-blowing, singing and cake cutting session. Hubs bought a very nice yam cake with agar-agar. The icing and agar-agar were in my favourite color – lilac. The size was just right – not too big and just right for everyone to have a second serving.

After the cake-cutting session, some dilly dallying and a nap, I only had about 3 hours of revision to do with Alycia and Sherilyn. Praying hard that I will not get a hard-attack moment when Sherilyn brings home her test papers. Well, I do not mind having a heart-attack moment seeing a 100% score for her papers though. I have over 3 more weeks to worry as the test papers and class position will normally only be out after the mid-term break.
I hope you’ve had a very happy Mother’s Day celebration with your loved ones and I wish everyone a very fruitful week ahead.

Hey! I believed all the mothers are in the same boat for this few weeks approaching the 1st Term exam, especially the Std 1 students. I guess it will be a lot of “vomit blood” sessions ahead…. 🙁
By the way! How do you couch Sherilyn in her revision? I am also drowning….
Alice, I let her do some exercises from workbooks that I bought. Then I go through all her school books (text books, Activity books, exercise books, etc). Then I throw questions at her, like I’ll tell her to name me 5 types of kata nama am that are on the table, I show her a sentence and ask her to point to the kata kerja, etc. I vomit blood coz I keep talking and talking the whole day (till voice turns hoarse and sore throat) but it seems like what goes into her right ear will go out from the left ear!!
Happy Mother’s Day to you Shireen 🙂
The purple yam cake look so beautiful like an art. Happy Mother’s Day to you.
Thanks Shireen for the tips! Oh my! I don’t even have time to go through the textbook and activity book. I just let him do the workbooks which I bought from the bookshop. Like that already drowning….
The cake looks good…Happy belated mother’s day to you……!!
