I don’t want to go to school

Ashley has been telling me that she doesn’t want to go to school.  It is getting more and more often, especially before bed or when we are in the car and about to drop her off.    I asked her why and she said her teacher (Teacher Joey) scolds her.  There are 2 teachers in every class and Ashley’s teachers are Mrs. D who teaches English and BM, and Teacher Joey who teaches Mandarin.   She always tell me that she doesn’t like Teacher Joey because she scolds her.  I asked her why and she said she did not pay attention

Last night, she couldn’t find her Chinese workbook and was pretty scared.  Poor girl.   I told her not to worry and I would go up to her class the next morning to check with the teacher.   So this morning, I went up with her and apparently her teacher has taken all their Chinese workbooks as she wanted to check them.  So whilst I was there, I asked how Ashley was doing and I told Teacher Joey that she has been telling me that she does not want to go to school.  Her teacher told me that she’s doing well in school but she loves to talk and disturb her classmates sometimes.  Ahhhhhh…..I know my daughter loves to talk and she does that at home all the time.  Ashley doesn’t like it when the teacher reprimands her    Being the only child at home, I can understand that she gets very excited when she sees her friends.  Hence, she loves to talk to them.  I explained that to Teacher Joey.  Guess I’ll just have to keep reminding Ashley to pay attention, listens to the teachers and don’t disturb her friends.  Hopefully she would love going to school again  *sigh*

I want to stay in the hotel so I don’t have to go to school (that’s what she has been telling me too)

How To Get White Socks Without Using Bleach

I read about this tip from ReNest.com.  If you want to outlaw the use of bleach, maybe you could give this a try.  Get a big pot, toss in the scruffy socks, cover them with water and boil them with a slice of lemon or two.  Remove them after ten minutes.   The socks will be bright and not to mention, smell like some lemonade (I’m kidding).  I haven’t tried this method before.  Let me know the results if you have tried it.  Besides being a great fat burner like apidexin, lemons make wonderful natural cleaning products that can be used at home.

her favourite phrase

Ashley has a favourite phrase which says like over 20 times a day, every day. Whenever she is crossed with someone or doesn’t get her way, she would say this phrase……

I DON’T WANT TO FRIEND YOU

She’ll come home from school and tell me that she does not want to friend her teacher because she got scolded and she doesn’t want to friend her friends because they don’t want to friend her.  Then sometimes she doesn’t want to friend her daddy because he goes out with friends, etc.  I’ve told her many many times that it is not nice to say this but she still does it

Digital Camcorders

My husband bought a Panasonic digital camcorder about 2 years ago after reading the digital camcorder reviews.  He bought it because he wanted to record Ashley’s milestones and also our vacations.  However, he hardly use it and the digital camcorder is now sitting in the cupboard.   Whenever I ask him why he hardly uses it, he said the camcorder is pretty bulky.  Guess what?  Well, he is now looking into getting a slimmer one like the Canon Flash HD Digital Camcorder.  Actually I like the Samsung Ultra Compact Flash Digital Camcorder.  It is pretty sleek and easy to carry.  So what are we going to do with our old camcorder?  My husband said he may try to sell it on Ebay.

happy weekend

What’s your plans this weekend, peeps?  Me? Nothing much.  Just bought the Sex And The City Movie Part 2 dvd and I am looking forward to watching it   Hopefully I can stand not going to the mall this weekend

Have a great weekend, everyone

c-o-c-o-n-u-t

About 4 weeks ago, I started buying coconut water for Ashley to drink.  My mother suggested this as it helps to reduce heatiness in the body and at the same time, Shireen also told me that she buys coconut water for girls.  Ashley’s body is pretty heaty despite not taking much fried food or cookies.  I found a seller near my office and a coconut cost rm2.70.  One whole coconut has about 18ml of juice (about 3 cups).  I buy it once a week and on other days, I would boil unsweetened barley water and “chat sing cha” (herbal drink) for her.  I hope that drinking coconut water on a weekly basis will help to reduce the excessive heat in Ashley’s body.   According to sources,  coconut water is more nutritious than whole milk and healthier than Orange Juice

I googled and found more health benefits :

1. Keep the body cool and at the proper temperature.
2. Orally re-hydrate your body, it is an all natural isotonic beverage.
3. Carry nutrients and oxygen to cells.
4. Naturally replenish your body’s fluids after exercising.
5. Raise your metabolism.
6. Boost your immune system.
7. Detoxify and fight viruses.
8. Cleanse your digestive tract.
9. Control diabetes.
10. Aid your body in fighting viruses that cause the flu, herpes, and AIDS.
11. Balance your PH and reduce risk of cancer.
12. Treat kidney and urethral stones.
13. Boost poor circulation

What Not To Wear

We were getting ready to go out for dinner last Sunday night when I heard Ashley saying this to her super hero daddy.

Ashley :  Daddy, are you wearing this shorts (tonight)?

Hubs :  Yes I am.

Ashley :  You have to change daddy.  You cannot wear shorts when we go out.

I was trying hard not to laugh out loud when I heard that.  I remember saying the same thing to my hubs not too long ago and I guess the lil missy heard it.  Ahhh….I don’t have to nag tell my hubby what to do anymore.  I have an assistant now

So, did hubs change into long pants that night? You bet he did.  Anything for his princess……..muahahahahahahaaha

closet full of shoes

I decided  to organize the shoe closet over the weekend instead of looking for the multi color led christmas lights.  Guess whata?  I discovered some of Ashley’s shoes which have not been worn   They are still a bit big for her now (mostly size 12 and she’s wearing size 11).  The thing is I was really surprised to see the shoes because I have totally forgotten about them.  Luckily I decided to do some spring cleaning.  If not, I think Ashley’s feet would have grown too big to fit into them.

My favorites are the the pink ones on top left hand corner and the white one on the right.   The white shoes are from Sketchers which my MIL bought in Toronto.  It cost CAN19.90 only.  Ain’t that cheap?  Saw a similar one here for around RM140 *shake head*   Do you think this will stop me from buying shoes for her?  Hmmm….I don’t think so   She has a shoeholic mom
