She is at a movie shoot! And the camera man is saying “Great one!” to her as she is such a GREAT actress. Well, I cannot deny that. She has more than once [...]

Because I have so little time to spend with T1, she usually passes her time alone either playing, watching TV or doing her workbooks. I’m lucky in that I don’t have to force this girl to do her workbooks as she actually enjoys doing them herself at her own initiative. Except that this Mommy doesn’t [...]

What is little T2 looking at so curiously? On a daily basis, T1 will entertain T2 as she needs a platform to perform. She needs an audience and who better to pick than her own little baby sister, who is always enchanted by Che-Che’s songs, moves and grooves……
This time, T1 was actually performing for both [...]

After a long time of begging, we finally allowed T1 to start the gym this year. But we’ve stopped everything else.
I find this a suitable gym for this age group as they teach the kids some solid gymnastic skills (like handstands, cartwheels, roll-overs, somersaults, balance beams and lots more!) yet it is done in a [...]

When T1 was a baby, I allowed her to watch those Baby Einstein videos that were supposed to stimulate babies. Those days, they weren’t available in KL and we had to either purchase them overseas or stole them from friends. At some point, they made it to KL and were RM100 each! 5 years later, [...]

She also excitedly received this very good book on space from a very dear friend from London which she has read through many times over.
Last week, she [...]

That’ll be my T1. Every other day, she comes home from school ‘boasting’ about how her teacher always asks her to help. Of course, she only dares ‘boast’ to me. She isn’t allowed to do it otherwise. Either help in the canteen or help in the classroom, almost like she’s a class monitor. Even if [...]

Ever since T1 was 3 years old, she would cry after a holiday. I don’t know why. She’d cry every time we came home and we’d have to endure her dramatic tears and sadness for a few hours. It was almost like she’d sink into a depression after a holiday because she’d had too much [...]

T1 goes to a school reputed for slave-driving kids with academic pursuits and lots of homework but really, she doesn’t get much homework at all. Not to me anyway. I’ve seen kids with lots more, or perhaps she does it independently and quickly that it doesn’t appear to be a lot?
She gets homework once a [...]

I love it whenever I see T1 entertaining herself with creative play because I think it is so important to be creative in this day and age what with all the commercialism that is thrown at our kids every single day.

Here she was a hill (and she explains all this to T2) with a little [...]
