« Previous EntriesTis I bid farewell to 2006….
Sunday, December 31st, 2006and welcome 2007 with fresh perspective and positive spirit.
I had a beautiful family lunch today with my family - My mother (the anchor), the Hubs and T, my younger brother and his girlfriend, my youngest brother and his girlfriend and my mother’s god daughter and her boyfriend. It is rare that we get to sit […]
Blogging as breaks
Saturday, December 30th, 2006So I was wrong…..
It feels like I’ll be writing another 10 posts before the year is up. Reason being, it is so much more fun than researching for a bloody coffee table book. So I blog in between as breaks. It is my form of escapism.
Why is it that when I am paid to write, it […]
My new COACH bag - First & Last
Saturday, December 30th, 2006One of the recent Designer outlets in KLCC is the American COACH brand. Usually a loyal fan of Ferragamo & Chanel, I walked into a COACH store, just out of curiousity and liked the casual American style more fitting for mothers than the high powered corporate world of fashion, although they do have a good variety […]
Merry, Merry Christmas and a HAPPY, EXCITING, BLESSED NEW YEAR!!!
Saturday, December 30th, 2006What the hell. This is quite likely the last post I’ll do for the year 2006 so bottoms up!
Under our Christmas tree this year….
Our Christmas Cake - Santa with Mrs Claus on a superb tropical holiday in Malaysia! The cake was super-duper delicious, no kidding. If you’re in KL and want to experience some melt-in-you-mouth cake orgasms, […]
Ammunition for dealing with Government agencies and idiots
Friday, December 29th, 2006I have it sussed.
Ever since I became the secretary for a charity organisation I volunteer with, I’ve had to make dozens of phone calls to Government agencies in order to keep ourselves legal. It is no picnic but I no longer stress out the way I used to.
Evidence I’m now a pro - I managed to […]
Fish soup shampoo
Friday, December 29th, 2006I have been getting very little sleep. No, that’s nothing new but more so now because I have been commissioned to write a coffee table book for the Government. The routine is, I am working every waking hour as much as is feasibly possible with a toddler, and then after she sleeps till 3-4 am […]
Guilty Mother
Friday, December 29th, 2006If there were ever some powerful emotions that set forth in a woman on the onset of Motherhood, it is surely love, patience and guilt - in that order.
Last week, T and I woke up bright and early to send the Hubs off to work and then headed to our local playgroup where they were […]
Doing her bit for Charity
Wednesday, December 20th, 2006I am proud of my toddler. She is no longer a toddler really, but a very mature little girl of 27 months. She even looks it, her maturity, as people always mistake her for being older than she really is. And the expressions from those eyes of hers, were there since she was a baby. […]
The love for my child
Tuesday, December 12th, 2006It has been 7 days since the Hubs went abroad for work and I have been alone with T. It is the longest that I’ve ever been alone with T. We have been painting the town red, just the two of us, and having a blastedly superb time. No doubt we both miss the Hubs […]
What is happening to my country?
Tuesday, December 12th, 2006Whilst reading the Star this evening, I started getting really worried. This is the country’s leading newspaper that sits on more than half the office receptions and desks of CEO’s in KL. Mainstream media. It seems…….
How about joke comics? For it sure pushed my laughing buttons!
Here’s why:
Typhoon Durian - In the US, you have typhoon Ruth, typhoon Erica, typhoon Maria. […]
Litter Menace
Sunday, December 10th, 2006The Hubs is away and with my new found freedom, T and I have been gallavanting and painting the town red, practically everyday since he left.
Hey, when the cat is away, the mice come out to play……
With going out comes hours on the road due to our very efficient road planning, NOT. While sitting in […]
My friend, Sam….for always.
Thursday, December 7th, 2006This year, Sam would’ve been 34, just like me. But she has missed out 13 years of what we were meant to share together as friends, to my detriment.
I met the beautiful Indonesian Italian Samantha Barlian of a lithe 5′6″ at architecture school more than 10 years ago. Due to the nature of the architecture course at the […]
Protected: The Sensitive New Age Man
Wednesday, December 6th, 2006xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I lunched with 2 moms today who also had daughters Ts age. Dita has been with her husband for 18 years of which 5 they were married. Yasmin has been with her husband for 10 years. Dita’s husband is Malaysian Chinese while Yasmin’s is French. They are both of similar ages - the husbands, and they […]
In the middle of Tatler
Sunday, December 3rd, 2006Today I found ourselves in the middle of people often seen in the Malaysian Tatler, a magazine of high society. Anyone who’s a who’s who will have had their face plastered on this monthly glossy provided their cash net worth is enough to have the banks begging for their business. Who’s WHO?
In front, we had the […]
My definition of friendship
Saturday, December 2nd, 2006Whilst we are feeling melancholic about the subject, I might as well blurb out my own schpiel about it.
I think I am a GREAT friend.
I am loving, honest, sincere. I make no demands of friends. I am accepting and I don’t impart my own ideas onto anyone. I am sensitive to others believing that everyone is […]
