Recently, I’ve been witnessing this magic unfold between my older brother’s twins—an 8-year-old boy and girl—and my daughter, Cass. Every time we visit Ipoh,…

Tips On How To Spend Quality Time with Your Family
As a freelance work-from-home mum, I struggle to balance family time with my work commitments, house chores, chauffeuring duties, and other activities. Many mums and dads face this issue, which can be one of the most challenging aspects of parenting. It gets even more challenging as your kids get older. This year my eldest daughter…
We Miss The Twinsies
The day that Cass and I returned to KL, the twinsies missed us, in particular Cass. So they asked Raelyne, their older sis to Whatsapp Cass to say that they will Whatsapp video call us at night. And so at around 9-ish that night, we had a Whatsapp video chat. It’s so good to hear…

The Girls’ First Pet(s)
Sherilyn told me that she needed to buy a few fishes for her school’s aquaponics project in RBT (Reka Bentuk Dan Teknologi). My budget was no more than RM20 but I ended up spending about RM50. It was more than just fishes that I bought but also fish food and hydroponics. And that’s only for the first…

Hi-Tech Gadgets-Savvy Family

Chinese New Year 2012
It was yet another simple, uneventful yet happy CNY for us. Thankful for that. I have been reading a lot about freak accidents that happened during the CNY. It’s pretty depressing to read such news on a happy occasion. As long as my family is safe and everyone does not have any major health issues,…

Our Monday
Despite a rough start for Alycia and us this morning, the rest of the day was nevertheless quite fruitful. After her major temper tantrum in the morning followed by a real good lesson from daddy and mummy, Alycia turned out rather angelic for the rest of today. She did lots of coloring and letter tracing…
Having Fun With Cousin
My eldest sil, her son and maid arrived from Hong Kong last night. The gals were excited and delighted to meet their little cousin brother, Ernest for the first time. Just before bedtime, the gals and Ernest were playing on the bed in the gals’ room when suddenly Ernest hugged Alycia very tightly and tried…
Please Don’t Fall Sick
My maid is having the sniffles and I’m so afraid she’ll spread the virus to my 2 gals. I’ve given her Clarinase and Nurofen for the last 2 days and hopefully, she’ll recover in no time. If my gals catch my maid’s cold bug, I’m pretty sure there’ll be a domino effect and everyone in…
