Hand-Foot-Mouth Disease?
After skipping school the whole of last week, Sherilyn is finally back to school today. From what I thought was a strep throat or swollen gums caused by the eruption of her first molar, it turned out that she may have had contracted Hand-Foot-Mouth (HFM) disease but both the GP and I could not be…
Exam Is Over :)
Whirlwind of Events
I had just walked out of a whirlwind of events that whirled for the past one week. My online store business was put on a hiatus for the past one week as with my time spent online. Too many things had transpired over the past one week… family events, Alycia sitting for her exam and…
Scary Encounter
The couple who live opposite our unit has a 10-year old son who is mentally challenged. Physically and facial wise, he looks pretty normal, albeit he is really huge for his age. He is fat and tall and looks like a teenage boy. Mentally, I think he is slow or challenged. He used to attend…
Bonding With Cousin
The sil and nephew from Hong Kong are here for their yearly holiday in Malaysia. Here’s Cass and her cousin, Ernest. They hit it off really well the first time they met last year and in this picture, they are both fixing a house from Lego’s Friends series. Actually, the first time they met was…
Drawing Passion
Alycia definitely has her daddy’s artistic DNA. It just comes naturally to her and her passion for drawing is boundless. If I would allow it, she can spend the entire day cooped up in her room drawing and reading. She seems to love drawing mystical objects and creatures as well as caricature. However, she has…
Tough Decision To Make
It is not easy to deal with homo sapiens. Each and everyone of them has a different character, weaknesses and strengths. As an online store owner, I have to deal with customers and suppliers everyday. Some of these customers and suppliers are sent from heaven and some are sent from below to haunt me, but…
Cass’ First Foot Massage
The MIL made an appointment for the foot reflexologist to come to our place for a 2-hour foot massage session today and this little rascal was given a free half hour trial session of foot massage! We had imagined that she would run away but to our surprise, she sat still throughout the session without…
How To Dilute Crystalized / Thickened Homemade Marmalade Jam
The MIL made some very delish marmalade jam last week. She followed exactly what the recipe said but reduced the sugar. However, when the marmalade jam cooled down, it thickened so much that it was crystalized! Nonetheless, the half-jam half-molasses was very flavorful and lip-smacking. It tasted very much like the expensive imported orange flavored…
Looming Thunderstorm NOT
Self confessed a ‘puteri lilin’, a gloomy sky and a rainy day can really make my day but a hot and sunny day gives me a migraine and literally melts me… To Fetch Or Not To Fetch?
Alycia has been bugging me to fetch her to school and ditch the transporter as Aunty J, the transporter has been late in picking her up for school lately. As she is a school prefect and needs to be in school by 7am for duty everyday, her daily 10-15 minutes late has been drawing queries…
To Exercise Or Not To Exercise?
Ill-Fated With Maids, sigh…
I guess I have to resign to the fact that I just do not have luck with maids, whether full-time live-in maids or part-time maids. Ever since my supposedly permanent part-time maid stopped working for us, I have been searching high and low for part-time maids. I have and am still recruiting maids from road…
I will surely bring along my laptop and thumb drive with all my documents saved in whenever we go on…
