Cassandra's Life Blog

After 3 weeks of school, cassie got infected from school and is now down with flu. This is the 2nd day she missed her school and i don't think she can go to school tomorrow because she has stuffy noise, rough cough and slight fever.

Anyways, i told her today that we gotto go to school to pass up her homework from the weekend and then collect back previous days homework. She then told me she's not feeling well, cannot go to school yet and start a string of cough ! Oh no ....

Every time she's down with flu, it will take her at least 2 weeks to get better. And during the two weeks, she will be grumpy, pot-sticker to me and very demanding ..... i guess i might be too if i'm not feeling well.

She didn't have flu when she didn't attend school. there's two possible reasons to it i think. One, she's not stressed out and thus body does not strain that much. Or Two, she doesn't get infected that easily at home comparing to school. I can see now why some parents prefer to home-school their kids because home-school will mean less chance to get infected. Then i can also see why some parents got very insisted on taking supplements, again, it is supposed to lower the change to get infected. Now, i am thinking about all the supplements that she can take and wondering what might be good to try ....

It's now 8.30 am and i've sent Cassie to her new school. Here i am, wondering if i've sent her to some kind of mental institution ! i know, i think too much ! :) it's just that we've let Cassie run her own show, do her own things, make her own schedule, make her own decision and now, when she's at school, she no longer can do what she want, whenever she want. There's schedule, there's discipline and there's this big brain wash all awaiting for her starting now on .....

Don't get me wrong, schooling is not a bad thing, but it's just that i will missed the 'running-wild-Jane' that i sometimes called her. She's actually very eager to go to the school. She even know how to behave, know where to go and what to do at her first day !! :) something inside me was hoping that she runs around, and behave like a baby.... i guess it's because more than anything else, i missed my baby gal...

Even this morning, i got my laptop, my handbag, my car-keys and all. While we were walking to our car, Cassie was the one that reminded me i didn't bring her 'school-bag' !!!!!!!! :)

She's really growing up izn't it ?

It's a new year, new semester, new school for Cassie. As i'm here, woke up about 6am preparing her things for school, i've came to realized this is gonna be a new routine to get adjusted to.

She's now enrolled to a more 'serious school' near our house. It's near the 'Yoke Chai' primary school and it's using all the school's syllabus. It does sounds like some kind of pre-school for university studies isnt' it ? but that's the way it goes in KL.

There are a lot of choices in KL or PJ, where i'm staying. There's the 'branded' type meaning the school brand is as close to 'Gucci' in fashion. In addition, there's the 'private' label as i called them. Those are the private school, starts from 2 years old till you're ready to jump into college. Then, there's the 'carefree' type. This is the ones where the school does not emphasize on anything except freedom. Oh, no my friend, this type doesn't work very well in malaysia. I'm sure it worked well other places, but nope, don't think so here. Then there's the 'serious' type. The schools are serious over discipline, independant, reading, studying and the whole load of homework. OK, so, among the 'branded', the 'private', the 'carefree' and the 'serious', she will be attending the 'serious' one mainly because she got her share of freedom from her play-school and i do not wanted to instill the 'brand' idea too much to her.

However, nothing more but because she's now 'officially' 5 yrs old (even she just got her 4 yrs old b'day present 3 months ago), meaning all the serious heavy lifting study now is required. She had taken a break from schooling for at least 6 months now since we decided to move down to KL. Thus, i know inside me that this is the right thing to do.

So, here we go. A new year, new beginning for all of us ! it's gonna be a good year :)

It was my brother's wedding and definitely a joyous family occasion. Cassie is the most happy person in the whole day because she get to lead the flower girls/boys brigade, run around the whole place the whole time! i am totally amazed at her energy and stamina and finally at 11 pm, she told me she's wanna go home ! ha, that's the first time i ever hear her willingly saying good-bye :)

It was a very warm and happy occasion. It's perfect all the way (even dad get to sing a song on stage ! ) and i just wished we can have more time :)

This story is created, narrated completely by Cassandra.

The wolf and 2 little hen
Once upon a time, there was a big bad wolf. One day, the wolf was very hungry and he saw two little hen in the forest. One of the little hen is very clever and another little hen can run very fast. One little hen run very fast and hide inside a bush. The big bad wolf cannot find her.

"" pretty normal story here rite ? wait for the twist down here (mom's comment) ""

The other hen is very smart, she wear her sun-glasses, jump inside a care and then she took out the phone and called the police. She speak to the police : "help police, there's a big bad wolf here, we need help, come to the rescue". And so, the police send over a helicopter and rescue the two little hen from the big-bad-wolf.

(the end)


It ended with burst of laughter from all of us (including Cassie). Tis lil' chick never failed to amaze me ! :)

It's common to be spending more time in the car while in KL than Penang. It's usually because the places we wanted to go are usually packed. Here are some picts taken while waiting in the car and/or waiting in the traffic queue.

It's one of those time i get to spend real quality time together. She will tell me her event of the day, stories and what she saw on the bill board. Sometimes we just sing along with the radio or make up new songs, sometimes we just play the story game and best of all, we just loved to be with each other inside the car .... a bit of quiet ...... away from the insanity of the hustle out there.

it's birthday celebration time. This time Cassie asked for a princess jelly cake. it was wonderfully made with multi-layers of Jelly. It's a wonderful change from the traditional cake type princess cake that usually filled with butter-cream.

Of-course, no birthday is complete without present. Her dad bought her a complete barbie playhouse which can be carried in a bag. She loved it so much that she has been spending a lot of time with it.

Happy Birthday lil' chick !
