Here comes the 'WHY'.


Started early March, more and more 'why' questions came from Cassandra. She asked me almost everything with the 'why' question nowadays.

There are common questions like why we stop here, why go to school, why buy this one and of-course, why cannot watch tv.

In addition, there are some funny question like why butterfly doesn't sleep, why the flower is yellow, why the fish is swimming and alike.

Then, there is this. While we were having lunch in a restaurant, Cassie accidentically dropped her fork and she immediately look at me with guilt on her face. Decided not to get angry with her because i know she didn't intended to drop the fork, i told her it's OK and just ask the waitress to change one for her.

She looked at me and ask "Mom, are you angry ?"
i said "No, i'm not angry. "
She then asked "why ar ? why you are not angry mom ?"

haha ... i must have got angry at too many occasions until she expect me to turn into angry monster majority of the time. Well well, not anymore Cassie, you mom is trying her best to change her 'stressfull' ways :) hope that you won't see me getting angry easily or fuss over small things nowadays.

Fun with cousin JiaYing


Another cousin came to visit during the weekend. Cassie and JiaYing has been like glueed together the whole time. And the most interesting thing is to find out they both love to sing and dance 'Mama Mia' :) . Even from different part of the world, seems like the Mama Mia is catching up with the youngest generations.

lil' chick's request

We were out for a dinner yesterday. Half way through the dinner, Cassie asked me to feed her. She wanted me to cool down her food by blowing into her bowl. Just caught the flu, i told her i cannot do that because i'm sick.

Then, she turned to her dad and she asked : "dad, are you sick ?"
her dad answer : 'nope'

Cassie then said : "dad, can you cool down my food and blow into my bowl ?"
of course, her dad obliged...

hahaha ..

What is this ?

Cassie woke up and started drawing this morning. I left her doing it on her own while i fuss over my morning routine (brushing teeth & etc).

When i check with her after that, i saw this. what do you think is this ?

Well, according to Cassie, it's a crocodile playing ball :)
i'm not sure about you, but i am very glad to see things in a different view from her perspective.

i m mom.


Cassie is now a little girl, she's now a little girl, she's now ... i've been reminding myself over that again and again lately.

She has shown more movement capabilities like skipping, jumping backward, karate-moves, dance & etc, and also more mental capabilities, like imaginative play, deduction, discipline, self-awareness and stuff.
Just last nite, she sat down on her bed near her bed time and started her writing routine. She will scribble and then some story telling. This time she's writing about the powerpuff girls and the city of townsville :) She usually recite and write the story at the same time.
Then, she told me : 'i m mommy yeah ?!' (more like announcement than questions) and straight after she said that, she narrow her eyebrows.
I saw that whenever she said i m mommy in her imaginative play-time, her face turned very serious and she will lock her eyebrows.
I then realise this must be how i looked to her !
They said kid is a mirrow to ourselves and i can definitely see her actions, behaviour, speech as a direct reflection of me. I just cannot missed the seriousness, stress and locked eyebrows.
I should really get this stress thingie of mine controlled and reduced. Stress is a creepy clawler that jumps up at you when you don't expect it. This is a pretty good jump, a wake up jump i think. The thing is when ppl asked if i'm stress, my first reaction is to say 'no'. But now, i've learn to face the problems and acknowledge that there are just things that i cannot control nor change. It's still small steps, but hopefully i learned to control my stress level better in the long run.
If you are my mirror dear Cass, i would like to see a prettier me from an already marvelous you.

Eating out ; mizi bistro


Heard so much about the mizo bistro and passed by the place so many times already but didn't get to try out. Finally, we managed to stop by for it's set lunch last weekend.

Set lunch deal is RM21.50 for 1 drink, 1 soup, 1 main course and free flow ice-cream. One tip : other than the mushroom soup, don't try any other soup. because we tried the french onion, the oxtail and the chicken soup, all are pretty bland. I guess that's why i heard a lot of recommendation for mushroom soup :)
Of course Cassie loved the ice-cream but she loved to scoop and serve the ice-cream more than actually eating them. :)
