Tuesday, July 31st, 2007My first credit card transaction just happened. Oh My God. Talk about revelations. I bought a domain name. Unfortunately all the forms of pumpkin (bigpumpkin, pinkpumpkin etc) have been taken so I’ve settled for www.mamapumpkin.com It’s not up yet but IT IS MINE!!!
The next challenge is of course, moving this blog and starting fresh - FRESH […]
Tee’s Round Eyes
Tuesday, July 31st, 2007Today, Tee and I looked through some old photos and found this. Aren’t her eyes ROUND??? Well, they sure were when she was 12 months! Almost like Barney’s….that horrible gay dinosaur.

Helping Mummy marinate a fish……
“I can feel the scales! I dug into the fish’s mouth and opened it’s gills. I poked the fish’s eyes and stroked it’s tail…….”
Plucking vegetables…..
Peeling garlic……

Haunted tales of the Big Pumpkin
Monday, July 30th, 2007Ever since Dina Zaman (writer of I am Muslim) told of her true horror stories where we stay, I have been driving home at night with frozen blood and unblinkable eyes…….I tell them to concentrate on the road and not look anywhere left or right but they so disobedient, my eyes! They steal peeks when they […]
Carving Yellow Watermelon Balls
Sunday, July 29th, 2007When Tee was learning the colour yellow at school, they did yellow activities ALL WEEK. Anything to do with the colour yellow, they did it. Even in Mandarin. At the end of the week, they had a yellow party in which Tee had to bring in yellow food. So I got her to prepare her […]
Tee’s First School Field Trip
Saturday, July 28th, 2007We inched up at nightime (to me! after sleeping at 5am), to catch the big orange school bus to the National Bird Park today. Now, Tee has sat on several tour buses in her lifetime, even open-aired ones but the big orange school bus? That was her dream! It was her indication of independence, a sign she […]
Life’s greatest challenge….
Saturday, July 28th, 2007Is Motherhood.
I’m kidding.
Out of the whole population today, what percentage of it do you think have mastered the art of non-judgement?
In our daily lives everyday, how often do we, as humans, judge others?
Passing judgement is an easy thing to do. Dependent on our expertise in math and physics, 1+2=3, dx/dy2x=fma+7yx(3z-7y), one judges another through the […]
Falling asleep in class. AGAIN!!!

About Gucci bags and diamonds
Thursday, July 26th, 2007I took Tee out for lunch today as I’d forgotten to prepare her lunch last night. Soon, I might forget she exists at the rate my brain is going.
At the restaurant, which was packed like a Guatemala prison, we finally settled after a huge negotiation about which high chair she needed to feel comfortable in. […]
I just farted….hee, hee….sorry, Mummy….

Tee’s Dinner Tonight
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007For dinner tonight, Tee had:-
1 hard boiled egg minus yolk (her request)
1 banana (her request)
THAT’S IT!
See what I mean? Usually, she has a full bowl of porridge or a full bowl of pasta or whatever, but the portion is equivalent to 6 fistfuls (her size). And she cleans it. Not all the time but…….she almost […]
5 Loving Things to do with our Little Ones
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007I got this this title from The New Parent. An ever inspiring Dad who’s never short of ideas in raising excellent kids, then selfless enough to share his wisdom. I salute you, Frank.
Picking up where you left off,
Here are some of mine:
Play 50 things with our senses - Tee sits on my cushy lap and […]
Menopause - the musical/play
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007When I got the email about the the above hit comedy, I instinctively told myself that it’d be nice to watch it with my Mom, since she had been having some dramas with real-life menopause of late, till I saw the prices.
RM150 to RM300. (mind you, there are actually tickets costing less than RM100 - not […]
Toddler on Hunger strike
Tuesday, July 24th, 2007For the last 2 weeks, my daughter has decided to join the anorexic gang. :-(
She used to be a really good eater, sometimes even eating more than her own father, but of late, she eats less than a fistful, HER fistful, of food.
I’m at my wit’s end and am considering reverse psychology, and put her on […]
Charity Tag - Darul Izzah Orphanage of boys
Monday, July 23rd, 2007I get wary everytime I see homes like these, only because it is so easy to take advantage off and only because there are real people out there who actually DO take advantage off these innocent children. Having done volunteer work since the age of 16, I have come to know of many horror stories of […]
