There are some (people and times) who wouldn't be in agreement with you, with your choice (actions or words). They'd go against you no matter how you wish to stand on your own ground, they will always want to win the battle. Macam kacau sangat hidup diorang ni dengan your existence. Mind your own business. Tak ada guna nak berbalah dengan orang yang...

Kids been pestering us to bring them to another snow play. Not that we've been to any (real snow), only to the one in Genting Highland last year. I am not one who can brave the cold, unlike my husband and my eldest daughter. My skin would turn dry and itchy, I'd shiver to the bones, my nose would turn red and sensitive...

I just finished watching the movie Tully - about a mother's daily struggle juggling everything, experiencing depression and anxiety that noone, not even her husband noticed and cared about. It happens a lot. I kind of feel the same way some times, but thankfully I am still able to control and find my sanity. No joke, we're always exhausted. We just need a...

I know I just made a post about my daughters' opposite personalities. Today, it's of Sofia. One tough little lady, this Sofia. (Did we chose a wrong name for her, what does the name Sofia represents again?) She picked up fights with her sister quite a number of times this couple of weeks. It's like she hold grudges towards her big sister. She...

My two girls have totally different personalities and behavior. One is with a princess-y characteristics - soft, lovely, sensitive, dependent, demanding (diva-ish). The other is a tough cookie - loud, cheeky, rough, independent, stubborn (bully-ish). Guess who's who? Kinda like Mary-Kate and Ashley in New York Minute. Opposites, but still bff sisterhood. I love you both, my Adaras. We're still at the early...

Our family doctor thinks Mayesa has a minor athmatic symptoms. In her record, she has examined and prescribed medications for it, already thrice. This is the fourth. I'm not surprised. My mom has athma. My little brother, too, the worse. I even 'had' minor athma back then. If I'm not mistaken, two of my baby nephews have them too. For weeks now, Mayesa...

Mayesa's gotten her ear pierced months ago. Sofia was supposed to get hers done too but she chickened out when it was her turn. I paid for both. I still have the supposed earrings and the receipt for Sofia to get hers done whenever she's ready. Now, I don't feel like getting her ears pierced at all. Why? Mayesa's caught a little infection....

I am currently in bed, squeezed in between my two baby girls. Got woken up at 3 in the morning of an itchy sneezy nose and haven't gone back to sleep since. I'm a little hormonal. I missed my girls. So much. I cried. I just realized how fast time passed. My girls have grown, and I am missing their angelic baby-ness. They're...

I don't know about you but I've been getting my kids to do (their) chores whenever possible. Simple chores such as wiping the dining table, tidying the bed and organizing toys and books. I see no wrong training them at a young age. It boosts their responsibility and understanding in cleanliness and hygiene. Keep your expectation low. They'll get better in time. I...
