The only way I can read the papers
I have a habit of reading newspapers on the floor. But nowadays it is not so easy to read anymore as I have an ‘inspector‘ who will inspect the paper and stand or sit on it as he wishes (especially when I am reading!). In order to keep him occupied and not disturb me when I am reading, I always have a pen handy to circle words that he knows and let him read it. […]

We are OK now
Thank you so much for all your wishes. I’m touching wood now saying that we are all ok today. Though I had diarrhoea this morning, it seems to subside a little now. Darling’s still a little bit weak, with some slight imbalance now and then. Ethan took his last flu medicine at 11am and is fine now. I’m crossing my fingers and toes that these two men in my life will be fine by Friday […]

It’s fever now
Last night Ethan woke up at 3am again. This time with high fever. He couldn’t open his eyes but I ‘forced‘ him to take his milk and some bread so that I can feed him his fever med. He refused to let me put the fever patch on his forehead, don’t know why. It’s not the first time using it, but somehow, this time he rejected it totally, screaming his lungs out requesting for it […]

All’s not well with Ethan
Ethan is showing signs of runny nose. Went to Jusco this evening and the whole time, his left nostril is wet. Wipe it away, wet again. The night before, he suffered his first insomnia. His normal bedtime is around 10pm. Last nite, up to 11pm he refuses to sleep. I finally force him to close his eyes and at 11.30pm he finally sleeps. But at 2am, just when Darling and I are about to go […]

For All Things Wonderful
I came across this new blog For All Things Wonderful recently. It is a blog to showcase the works of the extra ordinary talents out there so it says. But guess what? My origami rabbit is in there! That means I am extra ordinary! LOL! But then I read what it wrote about my rabbit. It says SIMPLE! Hahahahaha.. Now I know why I am in there! ^^ Our very own Mummy Angel’s Hello Kitty […]

The First Cut
Ethan experienced his first deep cut near his ankle today. Everything’s not so good with him recently. With the heat wave and now this. The thing is, he was calmer than Mummy and Daddy! We did not even notice when, where or how he got his cut. Only when he went to Darling and said “Pain, there” (pointing to his ankle) did Darling realise he was bleeding. I dare not even look, so Darling did […]

Which bank’s good for PayPal?
I want to have my own PayPal account, but I don’t have my own credit card. All my cards are subs from Darling. Pathetic eh? Darling is not a fan of online banking, shopping or anything online for that matters. He doesn’t even READ my blog! He forbids me to use the card for my PayPal account no matter how much I persuaded him. After seeking advise from top, down, left and right, Mummy Moon […]

Fighting off heatiness
It’s so ridiculously hot this week. Darling’s fighting a losing battle with the on and off throat irritation. Ethan has got rashes all over his back. Starting from the lower back, now spreading fast to the upper back and the back of his neck. Tried applying calamine and rash creams but nothing work. When everything fails, I try the alternative way. Was in 1 Utama yesterday. The perks of being a housewife is being able […]

Multiplication Made Easy (Table 11)
Today’s lucky number is 11. Any single digit multiplied by eleven will result in the double up of the said single digit. 1 x 11 = 112 x 11 = 223 x 11 = 33……9 x 11 = 99 The interesting part is multiplying double or more digits by eleven. Example 263 x 11=?Take 263. 2 being the first number and 3 being the last number.263 x 112 + 6 + 3 x 11Bring down […]

Cute Sandwich
On weekends, I can choose NOT to cook. We can go out to eat. And if I don’t cook, I’ll have more time to spend with Ethan. And when I have more time with him, what do I do? Teach him to cook! LOL. Not really. All I did was let him prepare his own sandwich for breakfast. These are Ethan’s latest favourite items. They are egg moulds that doubles as sandwich cutters. His favourite […]

So Dark!
Was in the playroom. Soon, it was dinner time. Persuaded the little one to get to the dining room for dinner. He refused. I was running late with my next class commencing in just half an hours time. Still not moving out from that room. Thought of using the ‘scare’ tactic. I switched off the lights and closed the door, leaving him all alone in that dark room. Waited outside for him to shout and […]

Multiplication made easy
I am not a genius when it comes to the timetables. A student of mine recently taught me this method for the multiplication of 6’s. Your regular clock will come in handy for this. 1 x 6 = ?Look at your clock. The minute hand must be on the number that will be multiplied with 6. In this case, it is 1. If the minute hand is at number 1, how many minutes does that […]

Now Everyone Can Draw :)
As Ethan is closer to two years old, he is getting ‘naughtier’. I find it more and more challenging to feed him everyday as it is difficult to get him to stay put for long. He no longer wants to be in his high chair, so I let him stand on the ordinary dining chair. But I really need to entertain him otherwise he’ll be climbing the table and all! One way I can keep […]

Sugar Apple
I finally found a type of fruit that sparks Ethan’s interest to the extend that he is willing to eat it on its own! It is none other than the delicious Sugar Apple! (Or Buah Nona as it is famously known in Malaysia). I think he doesn’t realise he was eating a fruit! I read somewhere on the net that flesh can be pressed through a sieve to eliminate the seeds and is then added […]

Salted Egg Super Man!
I don’t speak Cantonese, neither do I speak Mandarin nor any Chinese dialect for all that matters. But someone once told me that the above thingy is also called “Salted Egg Super Man” in Canto. To me, all I know is that it is an “AutaMan“. I seriously hate it so much! But somehow, Ethan is fascinated by it. He never watched that cartoon on tv before. Dunno why, he just loved it when he […]

How do I clean these hard to reach places?
Ethan has a water tumbler like the above. The problem is, I find it difficult to clean the entire bottle properly. It has so many areas that I find impossible to reach. Forget about the nipple brush, it can’t even fit in. I ended up using tooth pick to clean certain areas but find it not doing a good enough job. Several times, I ended up disposing the tumbler away when I find that it […]

Teaching Aid
When it comes to teaching aid, I like to DIM (Do It Myself!). Of course not everything I can DIM. Sometimes I do purchase the ready made teaching aid. But at the moment, I prefer to DIM as it is cheaper and I can customise it to my liking. Ethan’s favourite as he can ‘peel’ off all the words and zap it back in place… …because I use valcro to place them together. made of […]

Dialogue
Me: What’s your name?Rascal: Ethan Me: How are you?Rascal: I’m fine thank you.Me: How many teeth do you have?Rascal: 8! (Yes, at 20 mths old, he only has 8 teeth.. so sad.. )Me: What time is it?Rascal: 10 o’clock. Though it was scripted, he never fails to amuse anyone listening to it for the first time. ^_^ His favourites at the moment are vehicles and animals. He knows what sounds certain animals make… The last […]

Origami Cat
Did an origami cat head the other day with Ethan. I got his hands to do the work for the “maximum cuteness” effect. Hahahahaha.. can’t tahan to see his extra chubby and rough hands in motion.. If you like this, try my other project: Origami rabbit Coming soon, origami dog.

And he eats happily ever after…
Once upon a time ago, Ethan was a fruit lover. He will never reject fruits of any kind if I popped them into his mouth. He will even self-feed on them. Then suddenly, the magic was gone. He started to reject them. He rejects them so hard to the point that he will spit it all out after I ‘forced’ them into his mouth. He will even run and hide to a land far far […]

Nose bleed
Ethan has not been having nose bleeding episodes for so many months now I am most relieved. But this morning, he bled twice. Once at 12.10am and another time at 6am. Other than that, he is alright now, taking his nap. Just jotting this down for me to keep track of his latest bleeding episodes.

How to start your child on reading (Intro)
Since the posting of Ethan’s reading video, I’ve been flooded with emails asking me to share tips on how to start young toddlers to read. I am all so happy to share my two cents worth as I believe in nothing but to make every child a reader. But, let me clarify with all the mommies and daddies out there that I am by no means an expert in this field and I should not […]

Good Times, Bad Times
During the good times, I had a beautiful house I call my home. It comes with my favourite jacuzzi where I can ‘wash’ my stress away. But then, the economy slows down. I had to sell my house and make do with a more ‘humble’ home. Mommy always taught me to be positive in any circumstances. “Look at the bright side”, she always tells me. So I guess I should be thankful to still have […]

Stolen Sweets Are Sweeter
1st April 2009. Darling told me NOT to go online for there were reports of some April Fool’s virus going around. He warned me that if our desktop were to get infected, it will be MY entire fault and I will have to rectify it at my own cost! Of course, being a 90% computer idiot, I obliged (without a fight!). And oh boy… my misery started from the moment it hit 1st April (Malaysia […]
