I am sitting here, in the quiet of the night, waiting for my cakes to cool down before I put them into the fridge. I am baking for a very special night tomorrow. Tomorrow we are having a special thanksgiving dinner. My little girl, Megan, is going to down her last chemo pill on 14 April 2014, and we are...
In my last post, I had mentioned about Megan being on steroids. The whole episode is now over and done with. At the peak of the second round, she insisted to having delicious (the restaurant!) everyday! Everyday she will go and ask for the Homemade pesto spaghetti and crispy fried mushrooms. Usually she...
My little Megan is on her steroids again. This time, for 2 weeks. The first month, we had it for the whole time and the effects came in after the first week.

A day before that, I had brought Megan to a clinic to check her blood as she was bruising in an alarming manner,...
Today I decided to enroll Megan into Gymboree, after more than 10 months of deliberation. Yes, you can call me a terrible mum ... When Ryan was 2 years old, we made a choice to enroll him because he was the only child then and he did not really have any exposure to other children. He was all alone, to my...
Megan is a very happy girl. She sings a lot and she dances a lot and she is not afraid to show it off. And she seems to take on music and pitch singing well too, courtesy of Ryan's influence.
