FollowToday is the last day of school for Drama Queen and Cass. For Drama Queen, it is the final day for her in that school where she spent 6 years of primary education there and made many good friends. She has gone to the shopping mall with her gang of besties now to have a…

Fashion Designer Wannabe
In terms of ingenuity, I would give Sherilyn a 9/10 rating. She is one person who always thinks out of the box. Her forte lies in her passion for fashion and her creativity, not to mention her boldness and her ‘dare to fail’ stance. In school, she will be the audacious few who always raises…
Sherilyn’s Grade 1 Ballet Exam – 2nd Trial
We dedicated half our Saturday yesterday to Sherilyn and accompanied her to the ballet studio for the 2nd trial of her Grade 1 ballet exam. The studio was pretty far from where we stay and the journey itself clocked up to almost an hour, both ways. My childhood friend SF and her daughter Mel car…
Sherilyn And Her Math
So much for all the hair-pulling, stroke-inducing Math drilling sessions with Sherilyn, she came home from pre-school last week and happily told me that her Math teacher praised her for getting all correct for the Math sums. She proudly told me that her teacher informed the principal that she was the fastest in class to…
Our Sunday – Sherilyn’s Inter-School Talent Time Competition
We spent our entire Sunday ‘camping’ at a school in Puchong today. Today is Sherilyn’s participation in her pre-school’s inter-school talent competition, held at State level. As expected, the waiting period was frigging looooooooooong. She followed her principal to the school at 8am sharp and we joined her at around 10ish am. We were told…
Sherilyn And Her Math
I normally go through the use of threats to get Sherilyn to do her homework or work that I’ve given her. With all the dilly-dallying and a bucket full of excuses from her, she sometimes takes days to complete 2 pages of Math questions from the Kumon workbooks that I bought for her. But sometimes,…
Math Is All About Practice
The more you do it, the better you are at it, that’s Math! Once you stop, your brain tends to get dense and you need lots of practise to start the momentum again. I get Alycia and Sherilyn to do Math equations everyday or at least every other day. 4+2 is ….. four is bigger than two,…
My Independent Little Rascal
Alycia and Sherilyn are both pretty independent. They prefer to do things like taking their shower on their own, choosing their clothes themselves, choosing their own plate, bowl, cup and cutlery, washing up after pee and poo on their own, than having kakak or me helping them. As for Sherilyn, she even cuts her finger nails and toe nails…
Sherilyn Learns Ballet Today
Sherilyn my little vain pot and princess wannabe finally got her wish come true today. She followed her cheh cheh to the ballet school today and joined her in her class. When Sherilyn attended the trial ballet class last year (she was 3 yo then), she was awestruck and just watched the students in their cute…
Diaper-Weaning Sherilyn
Sherilyn’s Colorful Personality
Sherilyn has a very ‘colorful’ personality. She’s a drama queen, very imaginative, can be very good in immitating people, loves singing and inventing her own lyrics all the time and is a ‘cili padi’ or ‘fighter-cock’. She never ever wants to loose out to her cheh cheh and always wants to be in the forefront, never…
Sherilyn’s Drawing Of Ice-Cream
Alycia’s Drawing vs. Sher’s Drawing
This is Sherilyn’s drawing, which is a copycat of Alycia’s. Sher loves drawing and writing using pens. And this is Alycia’s drawing. The picture in orange color is her version of an elf. Alycia loves drawing with color pencils and all her drawings are multi colored. Luckily both the gals love drawing, coloring and writing and…
Sher Is Listening And Absorbing Like A Sponge
My mum was teaching Alycia what ascending and descending order are in her Math exercise several days ago. She was explaining to Alycia that ascending means going up, like going up the stairs and descending means going down, like going down the stairs. As my mum was teaching Alycia, Sherilyn sat quietly next to my…
This Is Daddy
That’s Sherilyn’s drawing of daddy’s head, with no hair, no ears and a tiny neck LOL! She loves drawing and coloring and her writing skill has also improved. She can trace letters and numbers quite well and can even write a few letters of the alphabet without having me to dot them for her. Whenever Alycia does her homework,…
Sherilyn’s 3rd Birthday Dinner
We had wanted a very simple birthday dinner for Sherilyn’s 3rd birthday as I didn’t have the energy and mood to throw her a party and to entertain friends. Already in my 3rd trimester, I’ve been feeling really tired and sleepy these days, so a dinner in a restaurant would be the easiest. Initially, we wanted…
