    We’re going to see Koala Bears and Kangaroos!

    Tuesday, September 26th, 2006

    In exactly 12 hours, I have to wake Tee from slumber as we make our long journey to the land down under. She has had a flu over the last 2 days and has been super cranky. The Hubs isn’t coming with us as he has to maintain our jet-setting lifestyle. Wonderful? I hope so….I […]

    More car stories….

    Sunday, September 24th, 2006

    Observe as Tee fills her car with gas via MY exercise ball pump. And she’s using her leg to pump it too, except she’s not pumping air into the wheels….she’s filling her gas tank with petrol from an air pump because Mummy doesn’t want to can’t afford the supercool Little Tikes petrol pump.
    Watch little Barney seated at […]

    The LOVE of a car

    Thursday, September 21st, 2006

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
    is very common in KL of the male species. Some men love their cars with a passion so great, it appears their cars come before their wives. Hell, their cars ARE the wives. They’d spend many a time polishing and waxing, cleaning every nook, ensuring their reflections are clear on the hub caps and protecting their […]

    Cure for Baby Colic - Foot Reflexology & Skiing

    Thursday, September 21st, 2006

    Since you’ve seen Tee enjoying a foot massage, you might as well know the real reason why she was there in the first place.
    Colic.
    Yes, colic. The menace that keeps your baby screaming continuously like a wailing banshee throughout the wee hours of the morning, or the late hours of night, when all you really want to […]

    Toddler Development - when you should start worrying.

    Wednesday, September 20th, 2006

    All my friends, locally and internationally, with 2 year olds, have graduated into toddler beds or big girl/boy beds in their own respective rooms. Which leaves Tee, the only two year old I know, the last of the group *sob*, to achieve this very significant (to us) milestone.
    Tee is not even remotely close to taking […]

    Like mother like daughter : it’s in our blood

    Sunday, September 17th, 2006

    Tee surrendering herself to a foot massage at the infant age of 2 months.

     
    Tee enjoying another foot massage at age 2. This time she asked for it herself.
    If Tee already knows how to indulge in massages at 2, I’m concerned that we might have a little problem ahead of us.
    She may ask for her own […]

    The Greatest Love of All…..

    Saturday, September 16th, 2006

    It is Saturday and the Hubs usually takes over some of my Mummy duties, thank God! So the greatest thing happened to me this morning…..
    After a good night’s rest (since I was allowed a lie-in), I crawled out of bed in search of my little pumpkin. I heard her little voice talking about posting mail. I […]

    I hear an accident happen - do I qualify as a witness?

    Saturday, September 16th, 2006

    I had a glorious dinner tonight with my brother and mother sans the Hubs and Tee, hurray! The salmon sashimi was really fresh and the chef was in a good mood so my platter had huge chunks of salmon which I devoured in total ecstacy.
    As I ran to my car with my contented tummy trying not […]

    Silly Mummy

    Friday, September 15th, 2006

    As usual, Tee and I rushed out for her baby dance class every Thursday morning. We’re always zipping everywhere. Why can’t there ever be a day when we move slowly, talk calmly and are not……err……..rushing. The phrases ‘always in haste’ and ’scramble like a headless chicken’ are synonymous with my life ever since Tee entered.
    So after […]

    Have you ever had a backseat driver?

    Wednesday, September 13th, 2006

    If you have, you can totally relate.
    I came into possession of my driving license when I was 17. All paid out of my own pocket money and 100% legal. I went through the motions - toiled through the specified number of driving lessons (despite a dirty old man for a driving instructor who had his fixated grin […]

    When blogging is bloody annoying

    Tuesday, September 12th, 2006

    It is probably quite obvious to you that I am a beginner at ‘blogging’. I only recently learnt the term last year and started my own ‘blog’ not too long ago.
    It seems I am lagging far behind in ‘blogosphere’ but that doesn’t bother me. I don’t mind being criticized for having a boring ‘blog’ nor owning […]

    Where was I? Nine eleven 2001

    Monday, September 11th, 2006

    It was exactly 10 days before our wedding – THE wedding. OUR wedding. The one I’d planned for months. The one I’d quit my job to plan. So you can imagine how special it was. 
    10 days before our wedding, my husband to be (the Hubs) and I returned home from a lovely dinner at exactly […]

    My Mother

    Monday, September 11th, 2006

    ……made me cry today. Like the many times she made me cry. Throughout my life. But today was different. I hadn’t cried since her cancer was diagnosed and any tearing after that was due to my own sentimental-ness and weepy emotional state due to her well-being.  
    My mother always made me feel like I owed her […]

    Maisy Party Report

    Saturday, September 9th, 2006

    The biggest event of the year finally happened (ours anyway). We were out the door from 9am yesterday and were working tirelessly till midnight. I am recording this so that one day if ever Tee decides to be a teenage rebel and tells me to leave her alone or accuses me of not loving her or decides […]
