Your Asian mom

My toddler at 2.5-year-old. When she turns 2 last year, I was thinking to myself whether I could handle the #terribletwo episodes for twelve months alone. Six months have passed, I am glad I could pull through because it doesn’t seem to occur on daily basis. I would describe it as once in a blue moon. She is quite a happy child, eating and sleeping well, her social anxiety has subsided, talkative and basically growing up like other healthy and normal children. Among the behaviours that make her slightly different from others and gain attention from adults are her dress code and some thoughts. My dear’s hair grows much slower that she feels the need to use a towel or shawl to make the hair “long” so she could look more like Queen Elsa (Frozen) or Princess Sofia. She’ll use that cloth day and night except sleeping time. Therefore, I have extra weaning task at hand. The other thing is this girl likes to run speedily. There was one time she just let go of my ...

As the clock ticking past midnight  entering new year 2016, I kept on pondering on resolutions to be made for this year.  I like to set something which seem to go beyond my known capabilities but still achievable and practical.  For the next 1.5 year, I will still be taking care of my 29-month toddler by myself as husband is furthering Masters in peninsular Malaysia. Therefore, this challenge has been put into consideration on setting the resolutions. I am hoping to do something which will not jeopardise quality parent-child time.  As usual, I have set to run 500-kilometres running with deadline   two years from now . Should be no problem to complete it.  Secondly, to apply online Masters programme at my Alma Mater. Have tried to stay up late and wake up at  7am  to get ready for wor. Wow, that's tiring and I guess coffee will become my best friend for at least three years and ouch, the caffeine definitely will dry up my sk...
