Friday, June 22nd, 2007Disclaimer notice:
I must clarify that this was taken several years ago, pre-baby. Pre-Little Tee. Everything has gone downhill since then. I have fed myself an additional 20 kilos from stress and emotional trauma. So please, please, please……. don’t faint when you meet me one day soon. I will not be held responsible for your blackout. Mom looks slightly […]
Grandmothers and Grandaughters - Part 5 of 6
Friday, June 22nd, 2007My mother and Tee can talk. They can REALLY talk. They can talk for a really long time with words that politically spew out like slick. They both have Indian blood. And Indians are known to be ‘good’ talkers.
Their minds are also blade sharp. Their witty repertoires can leave you bursting with hysterics (good), infuriated with rage […]
A fun kind of exasperation
Thursday, June 21st, 2007In the Lee household, we subconsciously practise a lot of negative parenting which we are not proud of. But believe me, if you had OUR pumpkin to deal with, you’d think twice before judging. It’s always don’t climb, be careful or you’ll spill, don’t run, don’t this, don’t that, stop it.
For example, today whatever was leftover […]
Toddler bedtime routine
Thursday, June 21st, 2007Our bedtime routine is somewhat comparable to a Formula One pit-stop where everyone rushes at lightning speed to get a job done, except that in our case, the whole Ferrari team is suddenly hit with a bad case of food poisoning. Lightning jolts of pain strike their bodies into submission and everything gets a little haphazard. […]

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007WILY WAYS WITH THE MALE SPECIES
You read right! This is sure confirmation that Tee is of the lineage that my Mother strung along. Somewhere along the line, there is a gene named ‘Talent with Men’. Genealogy doesn’t fail. We don’t have any gay family. Not that I know off anyway. But one thing’s for sure, […]

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007GOOD GENES
Tee and her Nana both have good genes. I got the bad ones. They are naturally pretty and photogenic. They have faces magazines and TV Commercials hunt for. My Mother did many TV Commercials and Advertisements in her younger days and many have encouraged me to bring Tee for casting. Good income source. Make […]

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007CHEEKY
My Mother is cheeky. So is Tee. I do not posess the inborn naughtiness these 2 souls have. My Mother would teach Tee to pull the leg hair of my stepfather and Tee would do just that, then run away giggling. Followed by a growl (my stepfather) and fits of hysterics (Tee and my Mother). […]

Wednesday, June 20th, 2007THE LOVE FOR JIGSAW PUZZLES
Do you know how sometimes kids skip a generation and all the traits you, as parents didn’t inherit, your child does? This is exactly what has happened with Tee. She is best buddies with my Mother, which makes up for my lack of relationship with my own Mom I guess. Her […]
Less important than a HKD30 T-Shirt
Thursday, June 14th, 2007That would be me.
We have purposefully taken up travel insurance for hospitalisation overseas just in case Tee or myself, God forbid, needed some medical attention during our holiday. Just before leaving for the airport, I am reminded anxiously if I have packed along dozens of Ventolin (my inhalers).
Because.
Should I start gasping for air at any […]
That Bitch from London
Wednesday, June 13th, 2007Now that I have your attention. Here is Tee’s (2 yrs 9 mths) rendition of London Bridge.
Heard today after school:
London Bitch is foyying down,
Foyying down, foyying down,
London Bitch is foyying down,
My Fair Yaydee…..

My kind of friends….
Tuesday, June 12th, 2007Since Tee started playschool, I have actually some time on my hands to make a few phone calls to old friends whom I have not seen since Tee was born, and time to actually meet them. I don’t know about other Moms but when Tee is within the same space as me, making even a 1 minutes […]
The love Tee has for her Father and her Grandmother
Monday, June 11th, 2007Last night I baked some honey chicken from the lovely Jomel (see Chickie Delights on May 31st) and Tee LOVED it. She loved it so much that she asked for more and more and more. She finished her share, the rest of my share and still wanted more. I swear I have been feeding her well […]
Blogging holiday before the real holiday
Sunday, June 10th, 20074 days to go. Before Hong Kong Disneyland. Tee starts school tomorrow. 2 weeks of school holiday and I have already forgotten how much needs to be done. Damn those lingering pregnancy hormones. Get out! Get out! So much to organise. Father’s Day. ETC.
I will be working hard in my dungeon till it is all […]

An excursion to the Tun Razak Police Station
Saturday, June 9th, 2007As the school holidays come to an end, I am excited about school starting again - YAY! No more toddler entertaining, no more toddler excursions, no more toddler whines in the morning, Just ME TIME.
ME, ME, ME!!!
I’m selfish. I can’t help it.
Yesterday, I drove Tee to the police station to watch how Malaysian police operate, to […]
Stressful drive home
Saturday, June 9th, 2007Those of you in KL are familiar with what a heavy downpour does to peak hour traffic. What more, we are forced to accelerate through landslide city and tree-falling town avoiding mishaps of impending accidents (we love living the dangerous life - not), except that when there is a thunderstorm, we can hardly do just that. Instead, we […]
My brother, the Durian.
Friday, June 8th, 2007Tough as rock on the outside and deliciously soft and squishy on the inside. The durian is also a favourite fruit of mine, incidentally. Including Indian mangoes.
My brother is 10 years younger - he was an ‘accident’. Oops. But seeing that me and my other brother were all big and boring, my parents decided to […]
Chinese Sexy Woman
Friday, June 8th, 2007Today, someone googled the above phrase and found my blog. Hmm…..

Ladida dida….*head floating & bouncing*
