FollowFourteen years ago today, I was the happiest woman alive on earth. I finally met my long-awaited baby. After years of battling PCOS, infertility and fertility treatments, I held my bundle of joy for the first time. It was the best feeling ever. The 9 months of my pregnancy was fraught with stumbling blocks one…
All posts in Alycia
Bon Voyage
Despite having a late night yesterday doing last minute shopping at the shopping mall and only hitting the sack way past midnight, I managed to jump out of bed at 4:45 a.m. today. Alycia and Sherilyn’s flight to Hong Kong was at 10:30 a.m. today. As it’s their first time traveling alone without any accompanying…
K-Pop Queens
When we were back in Ipoh during the Deepavali holidays, Alycia and Drama Queen took every opportunity to don on their caps. They seem to have a fetish with caps and have a collection of them but the thing is they hardly have the opportunity to don on their caps in KL. It is only…
Bonding With My Eldest
Every Friday, I have a one-to-one little jaunt with my eldest daughter. After Math tuition, I would drive her to the night market. She loves walking the night market to grab her favorite snacks. We would munch on snacks whilst strolling the road and stop by her favorite stalls which is a very delightful past…
Just For Laughs
She must have missed being a toddler again. Guess she wanted to feel nostalgic being a little child again and at the same time, amuse us with her antics. We were at Gardens… Cass Goes Up The Stage
Alycia Learns Tennis
Yesterday was Alycia’s much-awaited first tennis lesson. She’s been longing to learn tennis for a long, long time. I finally asked the coach’s wife (who is a Japanese) about the lessons when I bumped into her in the morning last week. A date for the first lesson was set. The big girl was super duper…
School Holiday – Day 6
Yesterday was a maid-less day yet we did quite a bit at home. Since it’s a school holiday and I have been getting sufficient sleep, I had the energy to clean up and wash up after cooking breakfast and dinner. After a day’s outing, we got home and the girls spent the entire evening helping…
It’s Alycia’s 12th Birthday Today!
My precious baby turns 12 today! The day I found out that the IUI fertility treatment that hubs and I went through together was a success (i.e. we conceived Alycia) and the day I first saw Alycia 12 years ago today were the happiest days in my life! There are no celebrations lined up today…
Our Monday – 23 November 2015 (A Full Day Out At The Malls)
Just realized that I have not updated this blog for almost 4 days! Why? School holidays!! That’s why apart from the 2-3 hours of extra of sleep that I get each day, I have fewer hours for myself and for work each day throughout the school holidays. Today, I spent the entire day at Mid…
UPSR Results And Close Of Primary Chapter
I did not expect too much from Alycia in this UPSR exam. I did… Our Saturday – 13 Sept 2015
It’s the first Saturday post UPSR exam. Alycia finally gets to join us for breakfast and then grocery shopping. For the past 9 months, her Saturdays were spent in school from 7am till 3pm. Life was grueling for these 11-12 year olds. They were drilled to score straight As. I don’t like this kind of…
What A Night!
Project Sunday – 2 August 2015
Lately, the girl’s school teachers have been giving out quite a number of mini projects to the class (Primary 6). The kids in her class use each project as a good opportunity to have mini gatherings. The project yesterday was held at our place again — the second in 2 weeks! They enjoyed themselves at…
Conversation On Bang Bang Over Dinner
At the dining table over dinner today, the song “Bang Bang” by Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj was played on the radio. The girls sang along as they ate dinner. Alycia – mummy, do you know what “bang bang” means actually? Me (acting dumb) – yeah… bang bang with a gun like this…
Looking At Life Through Rose-Tinted Glasses
While in Ipoh last weekend, the girls and I, along with my dad had a long walk around the neighborhood in the evening. We stopped outside a few houses to play with and pat other people’s dogs 
This is something that we don’t always do in KL. The girls’ schedules are pretty much filled…
