Cassandra Is 14!

Our littlest darling turned 14 last Saturday – 9 April 2022.

She has definitely come a long way. For those of you who have been following my blogs way before Cass was born would know her medical history. She’s not 100% out of the woods yet and we’re still trudging slowly, but in no real hurry.

Cass has made great progress in how she manages her own health, fitness, wellness and studies. And I’m proud that she’s finally quite independent at 14, though still needs me to nag at her to do what’s really important. Because of her medical condition, I’ve always mollycoddled Cass, to which she absolutely hates. She doesn’t like it that I give her preferential treatment and still do things for her even though she can do it herself (she’s a dawdler which I’m not and this pisses me, the Super Impatient Mom). She also doesn’t like hugs and kisses or cuddling up in bed with me anymore. But she likes to blather and prattle to me about everything that happened in school, especially when I’m busy with work on the computer.

It’s chucking down heavily now as I’m typing this post and Cass just sent me a photo of where she is outside the school. She can’t find her van again. And she’s going to be drenched again! 😞

OK, I’m going to get her a foldable umbrella from Mr DIY tomorrow! The girls don’t like having an umbrella in their bags as it’s an added weight to their already super heavy school bags (>8kg) but Cass doesn’t have a choice now as it’s currently the rainy season.

Coming back to Cass’ birthday!

She got a big surprise birthday present from her dad, which I didn’t even know about it. It’s a brand new mobile phone!!

In this Covid era, having a phone is a necessity. Cass’ school requires the students to check into the school via the MySejahtera app every day. Students without a phone must print out a form to fill out every day. So having a mobile phone is not only a necessity now, it can be a life-saver too. It gives me a peace of mind too as I know where Cass is. After Cass sent me the photo just now, I called the van driver and he found Cass, with an umbrella in hand for her.

Mini Bundt cakes from hubs. He also bought several other sliced cakes from Plump by @taobakescakes, Bangsar but I didn’t manage to snap the pix coz the girls devoured them before I remembered about snapping the pix.
A cheap Redmi phone at RM550. But it’s good enough for my super clumsy and careless girl.

Did I tell you that after hubs got Cass’ previous phone repaired last month, she dropped the phone again the next day? The cost of the repair was over RM300 and after the second damage, hubs gave up and thought it’s more practical to get her a new phone.

Sherilyn got Cass churros from the cafe that she’s currently working at on a part-time basis. The girls love churros aka Western yau char kwai / kuih cakoi. There were 10 pieces and I only remembered to snap a photo after the girls chomped down 7 pieces.

We were all so stuffed from all the cakes, churros and seafood noodles from lunch that we cancelled our dinner plan. Instead we had the birthday meal 3 days later. Cass chose The Fish Bowl from The Gardens Mall, Grabbed to us.
Salmon bowl with a variety of healthy veggies, nuts and seeds.
Grilled chicken breast. This looks REALLY healthy with white breast meat but it doesn’t taste as bland as it looks. The chicken breast is well-marinated and is served alongside a whole bunch of veggies, beans, nuts and seeds.
I pray for good health, happiness and abundance of blessings from God upon Cass always.
