My Super Vain Pot

My #2 has a fetish with hair clips and hair accessories. Just like her mummy who is very fastidious with her hair, Sherilyn has to have her hair tied up and clipped up everyday, the whole day, from the moment she wakes up to the moment she goes to bed at night. Sometimes she even sleeps with her hair tied up and clipped up. Lately, she is spending much of her time in my bedroom, rummaging through my drawers and hogging my hair clips... to the point of not wanting to return the hair clips to me!

Alycia And Sherilyn Have Gone To Hong Kong

Finally Alycia and Sherilyn have gone to Hong Kong with my mil. Hubby and I together with Baby C and our maid sent them off to the airport this afternoon. The house is now so quiet and peaceful without Alycia and Sherilyn. Did I just say peaceful without them? I feel bad, really bad to have this feeling but I feel a big load off my shoulder, a big stress off my mind. Nevertheless, I do miss them and keep thinking about them. It's just that I am enjoying my new found freedom and boy I tell you, I love the peace and quietness in the house.... no need to hear whining, crying and complaints, no need to yell at Sherilyn and tell her 100 times just to do a single task, etc. I've got activities lined up everyday from tomorrow till Monday next week. Must make full use of the extra time that I have now since it's a golden opportunity that I can be relieved of my responsibilities over Alycia and Sherilyn.

1-Month Promotion At Sinma Hair & Costume Jewelry

Sinma is having a 1-month promotion where for every RM20 spent in a single receipt, you will be entitled to a RM10 voucher, for every RM30 spent, you'll get a RM15 voucher, etc. This means that everything you buy will be at half price! I was at the Sinma outlet at Mid Valley Megamall yesterday and spent close to RM100 worth of hair accessories and I only paid less than RM50. Quick check out Sinma to get hair accessories, costume jewelries and other accessories for you or your daughter!

I got 2 hair bandanas, a glittering hair pin, a hair clip, a 'diamond' hair band and some black hair clips for Alycia (for her to tie bun for her ballet class).

Kids Ask The Darnest Things

Sherilyn the menace is cheeky, chatty and really inquisitive. From dawn till dusk, you will hear her yakking away. Most times, she will whine and demand for everything under the sky, some of the things that she requests are really ridiculous. When she's in an inquisitive mood, she will ask me questions like these:

1) Where does bread come from? My answer to her was bread is made from wheat flour, eggs and milk. A simple answer. Didn't say yeast, otherwise she will ask me yeast is made from what and beats me, I don't know!
2) Where does dragon fruit come from? My answer to her was dragon fruits grow on trees.
3) Where does cheese come from? My answer to her was cheese is made from milk.
4) Where does water come from? My answer to her was water is from rivers and from rain.
5) Where does paper come from? My answer to her was they are made from trees.
6) Where does seaweed come from? My answer to her was seaweed are from the sea. She then went on to ask who takes the seaweed. This one I stumbled coz I wasn't really sure who takes the seaweed from the sea! Boo to mummy!

etc, etc, etc......

I am pretty certain Sherilyn will surely ask me "mummy, I come from where?" one day. I have to start thinking of an appropriate answer for her now lol!

Darn Those Mozzies

Though my house is fitted with mosquite net, the darn smart pesky mozzies could still find their way in to the house... whenever the slidding nettings are inevitably left opened or when we open the door. Those darn mozzies had bitten my poor sweetiepie and now she has 5 really huge swollen mozzie bite marks on her hands and legs like this:








I am so waiting to zap those darn mozzies with my electronic mozzie racquet zapper or smash them hard with my hands. I will be looking for them with vengeance.....

Baby C is enjoying her black sesame bread at Canton-I today. Check out our Sunday here.

My Sweetiepie A Parrot

My sweetiepie has been trying to immitate many words that we say lately. Yesterday evening, my mil asked Alycia to make a phone call. My mil said out loudly "chit chiu phat phat...." (seven nine eight eight in Mandarin) several times to Alycia but Alycia didn't quite remember what the digits were in Mandarin and I had to translate them into English for her. Baby C who was seated on her high chair having her porridge was observing both my mil and her cheh cheh. After hearing a few times "chit chiu phat phat", Baby C uttered "phat phat". When I heard that, I laughed and said clever girl to her.... and my sweetiepie gave me her sweetest and proudest smile. My sweetiepie seems to love people praising her and would always try to do things that please us.

Alycia's Turn To Be Down With A Cold

First it was Sherilyn who caught the cold bug from pre-school, then I caught it, my mil who returned from HK also got bitten in HK, next my sil and her son, then Alycia and now it's my turn AGAIN. I'm so sick of falling sick again and having my girls taking turns falling sick. Alycia skipped school today and she will also skip her ballet class later. Her nose is dribbling non-stop with watery goo goo and she's also coughing. This afternoon after her milk, she ran round the house chasing and playing with Sherilyn. Minutes later, she puked big time on my mil's mattress and on her bolster and everywhere in the bedroom floorx. Eewwww.... it was really messy and stinky. Now the 2 girls can't sleep with their mah mah in her room tonight. Later I must try to trick Alycia into drinking the fresh olives soup double boiled with lean pork that my mil has made. This heong har cough remedy is really effective. Read more about it in my health blog.

Seeing Our Nephrologist Today

I'm now waiting for hubby to come and pick us up to go to the hospital. There's some bacteria in Baby C's pee again, NOT AGAIN, sigh..... Even our nephrologist would shake her head and let out a sigh each time she hears that Baby C has another UTI attack. Today we will discuss with her about the MAG3 scan and hopefully we can have it done on Baby C next week. I just want the surgery and everything to be over and done with soonest possible. I am praying that Baby C can celebrate her first birthday in good health next month.

My Pepper Spray 'Backfired' And I Was The Victim

Hubby bought me this pepper spray a few years back and I have been carrying this with me each time I go jogging. So far, I've not really used the pepper spray to ward off perpetrators. I would however test the spray once in a while to see if it still works. Well, I now know that it works perfectly well coz the other day, it 'backfired'. That fateful morning, I saw a pack of dogs from a distance. I quickly took out my pepper spray and tested it. After I had jogged past the dog without any incidence, I put the pepper spray back into my pocket. The next minute, I felt a stinging sensation on my nostrils. The stinging sensation gradually became burning. I had rubbed my nose with the same hand that I used to hold the pepper spray. The liquid didn't even come in contact with my hand yet my nose was 'burning'! I think whoever gets in direct contact with the liquid pepper would go blind or be in severe pain coz the liquid is frigging hot and burning! The burning sensation on my nose and nostrils was really unbearable. My eyes and nose were watery and I felt as though I had inhaled a big spoon of chilli powder. I immediately jogged back to my condo and made a mad dash to the washroom at the lobby and washed my face and nose. Wuah, the contact of water on my face and nose was such a relief. I spent a good 10 minutes washing my face in the toilet, afterwhich I continued jogging. For the next 1 hour, my nose was numb, as if I was given an anesthetic on it!

Alycia's Hair Tied Up In A Bun

That's Alycia with her hair tied up in a bun. It was my first attempt tying her hair in a bun. It wasn't really difficult but her ballet teacher said I need to put more gel on her hair the next time as her hair has to be reaaaaaally freaking neat without any hair straying on the sides or back! Really frigging strict those examiners!



When she got back from the dance studio, the first thing she did was to remove the hair net and clips. My, her hair was hard and stiff with all those gel on her hair!

My Sweetiepie

My sweetiepie has been trying to imitate what I say for the past few days. Today when I said 'diaper', my sweetiepie said "per, per". She can also call me "meh meh" when she wants me to carry her. Last night when she saw her 2 cheh chehs' pic on the PC, she giggled and said "cheh cheh" while pointing to the pic. My sweetiepie is getting cuter and also cheekier by the day.



I just love her baby curls at the back of her head. My mil said her hair is getting long and asked me to trim the back of her hair but I ain't going to do it just yet coz those curls are just too pretty to be trimmed away.

Getting A Good Urut Today

The urut lady who used to urut me after the birth of Baby C will be coming to my place to urut me today. Since it's quite difficult for me to go to the spa, the best I can do is to call the urut lady up to my place. Can't wait for her to come and give me a good massage. I need a good massage SOOOO badly!

Our Sunday

We had lunch at Lemon Garden @ Shangri La Hotel today, courtesy of my generous sil. We reached there at around 1pm and we ate and ate non-stop and only left the hotel at around 4:30pm. There were 21 adults and 7 kids.... which was a HUGE group! When we got home, there was another gathering of relatives and another round of eating, but this time we ate fruits, durian (yeah, darn fattening!) and homemade durian cake (yeah, really fei sei loh!). Everyone was so stuffed that we skipped dinner. All my 3 kids missed their nap and by 9pm, their batteries went dead flat.... and I only have the time to sit at the PC now. I have to work-out extra hard for the next few days coz I've been eating so much of fattening food (kuihs and durians) for the past few days ever since my sils came back.


My princess wannabe showing off her hand painting. Check out her 2 bunny teeth!

Baby C enjoying some toasts from the buffet. By 4pm, she started to get restless and sleepy and I had to nurse her in the baby changing room at the hotel.

Baby C Can Walk!

Today while on my king-sized bed, Baby C stood up on her own and walked from one end to the other! My maid and I cheered and clapped and Baby C was grinning from ear to ear. I think she will be gallivanting the house on her feet very soon... and I will have to watch her like a hawk. Baby C is just like her 2 cheh chehs who all started to walk before they turned 12 months.

Baby C Trying To Talk

Baby C is trying to imitate what I say. This morning, when I was giving her a bath, I said "baby, take bath.... BATH" and Baby C said "bah, bah". Later when I gave her a piece of paper, I said "paper" and she said "pah pah". Baby C is also saying "cheh cheh" the whole day... whether she sees her 2 doting cheh chehs or not, she's saying "cheh cheh" all the time, as if practising her new found skill!

Disney Princess Pasta

Sherilyn my noodles and pasta lover will go crazy if she sees a bowl of Princess pasta on the dining table waiting for her for lunch. My sil bought this packet of Princess pasta for her from Hong Kong.

Tell me which Princess wannabe wouldn't go crazy over the pasta?



Pasta in the shape of princess, princess' heels and princess stuff. Cool stuff!

Sherilyn And Her Obsession With Her Hair

Sherilyn's vain, really really vain for a 4-year old. Now that her mah mah is back, she's found someone who would entertain her whims and fancies. The moment she wakes up in the morning to the moment she goes to bed at night, she would stick to mah mah, pestering her for everything under the sky, especially to get mah mah to tie plaits with her hair. Sher's so vain that she even badgered mah mah to tie plaits when her hair was wet, right after her bath last night. To keep her mouth shut, mah mah put a clip on her hair. This morning, again she demanded that mah mah tied plaits before she went to school. Looks like my mil will be very busy with coiffuring her 3 grand daughters' hair from now onwards.

Baby C Called Mah Mah

Today, Baby C called "mah mah" when she saw my mil. When my mil came back from Hong Kong on Friday, she didn't want her and cried when my mil tried to carry her. Today she finally accepted mah mah and let her carry her. Just a moment ago, I asked her to call "mah mah" when my mil called out her name. And guess what? She responded and said "mah mah" with a smile..... so accurately and clearly!
