Monday, May 21st, 2007My MIL told me this story.
There was once a girl called Rain who hailed from sunny Kota Bharu, Kelantan. She married a teacher and was often seen riding on a motorbike. Rain was very ambitious and hob-nobbed with potential suiters often despite already being married. She had quite a voice which she used to serenade […]
It would be so nice….
Sunday, May 20th, 2007It would be so nice
If Tee could leave me alone for only a day
It would be so nice
If I didn’t have to decide what to eat or feed today
It would be so nice
If I could stimulate my brain without distractions
It would be so nice
If I had some ‘me’ time, even for a fraction
It would be so nice
If […]
Shouting at your toddler
Sunday, May 20th, 2007I just did.
*gulp*
It was an all out yelling voice shout as well. Like a hysterical mad lady who’d just got her handbag snatched.
*gulp*
She has been climbing all over me while I read on the laptop and whining when she is supposed to be sleeping. She is lucky that I am even here beside her whilst she falls […]
Nosiness - A Barracuda Woman activity
Sunday, May 20th, 2007Heard whispering at the Baraccuda Women’s Club today:-
“Hey, have you seen that woman before ah?”
“Where? Which one?”
“There….the one sitting with the three men.”
“No, don’t think so.”
“I wonder if she is a member. She doesn’t look like a member. I think she is not a member.”
They stretch their heads to peep further.
“Oh, she shouldn’t be here […]
Why I don’t have a maid
Saturday, May 19th, 2007Having a maid (full-time or part-time) in KL as a Mother is like wearing underwear. Everyone has them, they get changed often and only a select few choose not to have any.
I am one such Mom (err…the maid part, not the underwear).
I have never had a maid. Having a maid would make me lose control […]
Where did I come from?
Saturday, May 19th, 2007When I was 10 years old, my Mother bought me this book titled “Where Did I Come From?”
Back then, it was the ONLY book which described the birds and the bees to children. I brought it to school one day to share it with my friends, who subsequently borrowed it. And then the book was […]
A typical Saturday morning for the Lees
Saturday, May 19th, 2007I knocked off at 5am this morning. Woke at 9am. It’s like being back in Architecture School .
Brought Tee to a “pink-pink” themed birthday party at Caterpillar. I love parties like these - short and sweet, because really….how much excitement and sugar can 2-3 year olds take?
All the presents presented were……one guess? Duh, pink! They looked […]
Barracuda Women
Saturday, May 19th, 2007Where I gym at the local club, between 9-11am, I have the veteran crowd for company. This is not a problem for me as I get along well with people of all ages, from gurgling babies to waffling grandpas.
However, I have such passion and arousal when certain ladies in their 50s and 60s wearing tons […]
A Royal Wedding
Friday, May 18th, 2007It was a marriage of convenience.
He and she have been very good friends for the longest time and she has royal blood. The other doesn’t.
5 years ago, they were beside me at a restaurant. Definitely good friends.
Not lovers.

London, a sweet breath of reminiscence and nostalgia
Friday, May 18th, 2007I spent a third of my formative years in London so London is very special.
The last time I was there with the Hubs in 2001, London had already metamorphosised from what it was when I was a student. I am sure when we go next year, London would have changed even more. My life in […]
A much deserved holiday
Friday, May 18th, 2007Pray for me, EVERYONE!
The Hubs is close to agreeing to babysit Tee for 4 days and 3 nights whilst I take a much deserved all expense paid break to Hong Kong. I am SO excited, I can’t wait till he says YES!
Initially, my Fairy GodMother was going to bring Tee and I (and the Hubs, but […]
My new toy
Friday, May 18th, 2007Thank you to Apple and the person who gave this to me
My two year old is already eyeing it……

My emotional hole - lack of parental attention
Friday, May 18th, 2007A friend of mine told me the other day that I have an emotional hole due to the lack of love in my life whilst growing up. It totally threw me off guard. Surely if I had an emotional hole before, then it would have been filled up by now with the love I get […]
While we’re still on the money topic….
Friday, May 18th, 2007I just found out that wordpress (the freebie blog platform that I am on) doesn’t support Google Adsense so my first attempt to *ahem* feebly earn an income has spiralled into the bog.
Maybe it’s just not my karma to make money online and I should just stick to what is true to my heart.
BUGGER!
In attempt to console myself, […]
The journey of fat loss
Thursday, May 17th, 2007I burned 380 calories this morning on the cross trainer. I had a 400 calorie breakfast. I had a total of 1100 calories today.
If I can keep this up, I have hope.
I learnt the kind of food I should be eating and the portions from here.
Right. NO WONDER I am as heavy as my husband.

The root of all evil
Thursday, May 17th, 2007Everyone has their own ideologies about money - the all powerful entity that makes our world go round.
Money has shed blood, broken families, stirred contempt, yet brought gratification to many. It also feeds us, clothes us and shelters us - in varying degrees.
How much money do we really need? And how much money do we […]
Make money blogging - really?
Thursday, May 17th, 2007The more I read about it, the more curious I get.
I mean, if I could buy a Starbucks by merely writing what I love, that would be pretty cool…..wouldn’t it?
I think I will start experimenting.
What’s there to lose?
Who’s up to throwing advise?

Where am I going?
Thursday, May 17th, 2007This has been a nagging cloud of late. Back in my heydays (yes, I did have them - where have they gone???), I had direction. I had purpose. There was a plan. All was well as I approached my estimable life goals. I was a confident, ambitious career woman, set to take on the world […]
