Credit Cards, Golf & Photography
Thursday, March 29th, 2007I asked T’s grandmother today if she had been teaching T about Mr Visa or Mrs Amex.
Negative.
Then she quipped that T needed no explanation as she was a natural information baby magnet. (*Note to self - no more bitching about anything that would cause me to want the floor to swallow me with super strength […]
What’s the youngest age for a credit card holder these days?
Wednesday, March 28th, 2007On the train back from the airport today, I moaned to the Hubs that my slippers were peeling off at the front. He then cautioned me that I should be more careful about kicking things from here on as they were an expensive pair of slippers. Bugger….
Then chirped a little voice beside me, “You can […]
A crazy thing I used to do
Thursday, March 22nd, 2007When I was growing up, I was always left to my own devices. My parents were never around and didn’t have any rules for me so it is suffice to say that I turned out pretty good considering the circumstances.
I had an Italian Muslim boyfriend who lived in a mansion at the age of 16 whom […]
Two things I’ve been putting off
Thursday, March 22nd, 2007Seeing an ENT to check my nose out. I have suffered from sinusitis for the longest time and know my nose inside out pretty much. Of late there has been a perpetual scab on my right inner nostril that bleeds every now and then. It is not like a normal nose bleed that comes from […]
Separation anxiety at Playschool
Wednesday, March 21st, 2007Yesterday, I left T at school for an hour and a half by just walking out casually from her classroom. She bawled for a long, long time but because I only heard it, I was OK. At the end of the day, she was all swollen eyed but smiling. And even said she would come […]
I have so much money!
Tuesday, March 20th, 2007Oohlala!!!
In my thirty five years of existence, I have seen how money has the power to destroy relationships, the tightest of families and the closest of friends. Yes, money can be all-empowering like water or fire, when it gets out of hand.
Whilst reading one of the many tabloid gossip magazines that my beloved mother subscribes […]
Hypocrite Type 1
Tuesday, March 20th, 2007Hyposcrisy n The practice of professing beliefs, feelings or virtues that one does not hold or possess.
Last night I perfomed my husband’s worst nightmare and tuned in to Konsert Akademi Fantasia, which is our local excremental version of American Idol. OK I really shouldn’t be comparing it to American Idol because it really is no comparison. […]
Our first real fight - shame on me!
Monday, March 19th, 2007I love my daughter to bits. I really, really do. But there are days when I want to make her disappear. Such as last night.
After spending two whole hours trying to get T to sleep from 8-10pm, I finally lost it. I had things to do. Lots of things. And she really needed her sleep to […]
A toddler’s definition of a fight
Monday, March 19th, 2007“I want to bathe in the bath tub.”
“No, we are having a quick shower because we need to hurry.”
“No, I want to bathe in the bath tub.”
“No, take your clothes off now. Hurry. We need to go soon. Hurry. We’ll have a shower in the bath tub, OK?”
“NO, I WANT TO BATHE IN THE BATH […]
Toddler Discipline
Thursday, March 15th, 2007Today I went for lunch with a Doctor friend whose little girl is exactly 1 month older than T. That’s two and a half years old (Gosh! Is my little girl that old now?). Mel since a baby, was the most well behaved baby I ever knew. Her mother being a doctor et al knew […]
Heartbroken
Thursday, March 15th, 2007My heart crashed into a million crystal pieces when I heard of a couple whose family disowned the son because he is dating a girl not of his family’s choice. Typical of Indian upper crust society, this Indian family goes by the traditional cast system where one can only marry from one’s cast. A prominent […]
Mummy Cliques
Tuesday, March 13th, 2007It is interesting how different people have different ideas and perceptions of the world. The Mummy world is no different. When I first heard of XXX (a local mummy and baby group), I asked around to find out what it was and considered joining it but was told only negative things about it. Naturally, I […]
My Day
Tuesday, March 13th, 2007It started off with the Hubs being late for work as usual. As we share one car, T and I have to rush like mad fools every morning that we want the car, to send the Hubs to work. Otherwise, no car. He gets really annoyed with us not because he cannot be late for […]
Shut Down
Monday, March 12th, 2007“Shut Down Now!! Mummy!!” That was T yelling over the last two months for the lack of attention from her mother as her mother glued herself to her faithful Dell. I worked through two whole months without an ounce of quality time for my dearest and I so much regret it now. It’s payback time […]
