Sunday, April 22nd, 2007I was told this was a true story of an Australian Mother.
She has three kids under five and is busy as hell. One evening, she is just too bloody exhausted for her daily shower and sinks into bed without even brushing her teeth. After a great nights sleep, she bounces out of bed LATE the next […]

Of Twisted Ankles and Nose Polyps’s
Sunday, April 22nd, 2007Finally!
After 5 weeks of off and on limping and spurts of sharp and dull pain on my poor abused twisted left ankle, the Hubs tonight found the exact spot where it appears to have twisted.
He massaged my left foot for two hours with some special smelly alcoholic oil that my grandmother recommended from the Chinese Medicine […]
Childhood Reminiscence
Saturday, April 21st, 2007I love being a Mother.
I listened to the Sound of Music every milli-second I was on the road today. It’s funny how when I was a little girl, the movie didn’t have such a big impact on me as other childhood movies did. I knew one song from the soundtrack that I carried for life only because […]

Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007
Many little boys’ mothers have already decided that their sons will not be dating my T anytime in the future. This is because not only does T have an incredibly demanding personality, she knows how to sing the chorus to Marilyn Monroe’s Diamonds are a Girl’s Best Friend song. She even knows how to yell out […]
Handphone relationships
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007Our dependence on technology is astonishing. Twenty years ago, a handful of KL-lites had a mobile phone. You know those large black ATUR hand carry sets that double up as weapons? Today, everyone has a handphone. Six year old children, maids, the bus driver, market sellers, babies, dogs…..What has happened?
Handphones have made our brains lazy. […]
MILK rejection in toddlers
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007Little T has decided that she is now a big girl and no longer needs her milk.
My mother and grandmother had always stressed from Day One that milk was very important for babies and children. They warned me not to take away the bottle as it formed a risk of milk rejection. Unfortunately, T was […]
Inconsiderate Bastard at RSGC
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007It was a scorching afternoon with a hungry toddler in the car. I followed at 5 kilometres per hour, a big guy (Jack Nicholson with an extra foot) pushing his golf cart to his car and parked mine twenty feet away from him with my indicator on. And waited……
He opened the boot of the black Mercedes. Then struggled […]
A scene from LA Law
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007Bring it on, I say.
I am currently in the process of taking legal action against a public relations company who tried pulling a fast one with me over a writing assignment.
I never in my wildest dreams imagined that I’d be entangled in a legal suit ala LA Law (well, I can dream; it used to […]
Don’t pretend you didn’t see me?!
Tuesday, April 17th, 2007You know the feeling. That when you are out in public minding your own business, doing your own thing, when suddenly you catch a glimpse of somebody you know. And that same person’s eyes dart away the moment your both eyes meet in a flash. Is that her? Sure it is. But before you can […]

My Little Rapper in Daddy’s Office
Monday, April 16th, 2007My little rapper made a visit to Daddy’s office the other nite and complained that his office was too messy with work in progress presentation boards and materials spread out all over the floor.
“Ooooh….this is a messy awea. Where am I going to walk?!! Do you think it’s messy, Mummy?”
So the next day, the Hubs […]

Slithery Snakes
Monday, April 16th, 2007While putting on shoes for school today, T stuns her father.
“Daddy, when you have more money can you please buy me a snake?”
Shocked and at the same time drowned with killer curiousity as to what his precious daughter might want with a snake of all things,
“A snake?” Perhaps he’d misheard her….
“Yes, a slithewy snake. Ssss…..Sssss……” she puts […]
