    Tuesdays with Morrie

    Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

    My ambition - to write a book: Everyday with Tee
    Wouldn’t that be a Best Seller??? Hehe…..
    Port Klang Best Seller maybe?
    ****************************************************
    Now that it has been 2 weeks since I’ve finished the easy read, Tuesdays with Morrie, I don’t feel it THAT spectacular a book. Sure, it has all the nice, heartwarming bits and reminds folks what […]

    Malaysian Police Force

    Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

    Whilst stationery behind a copper at a traffic light, a car in front of the copper turned right crossing a double line, then made a 3 point turn, causing traffic to hold behind him. And got off scott free.
    THEN.
    The copper beat the red light.
    WTF!!!
    I took down the copper’s number plate, time and place; and will […]

    Stay At Home Mom (SAHM) or Full Time Working Mom (FTWM)

    Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

    Edited to add: What pisses me off is I’ve cut and paste from Lian’s site and now my font has gone all wonky. I cannot stand it. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am a designer and the following is blurring to my eyes!!! 
    **************************************************
    I’ve been given some homework again by another teacher, Lian, who offers Moms […]

    Lovely Friend and Facials

    Tuesday, July 17th, 2007

    I had lunch with a lovely friend today and she made my day with a complimentary facial! I mean, how sweet is that???
    Ever since I became responsible for another being, I have been for a facial, once. Oh yes. That was free too, complimentary of the opening of a new spa that wanted to use […]

    Story that can’t be told

    Monday, July 16th, 2007

    I told the Hubs a great true story today that sent him to tears.
    He was gagging from so much laughter that I said I just had to blog about it. But he said NO NO NO!!! I said, C’mon….my readers know I’m gross and disgusting anyway!
    “No, No, NO!!! I don’t want to be known as your husband […]

    I have my head in the clouds but am still better off than some models

    Monday, July 16th, 2007

    Last Sunday, I left the earthquake of my home to find peace where I could get a relaxing foot massage and finish off my deadlines for work. I took off with my laptop and relished the solitude whilst listening to Alanis Morissette’s “I’m a BITCH” except that on Malaysian radio, they’d censored the ‘B’ word […]

    How couples rub off on each other

    Sunday, July 15th, 2007

    Warning : long post ahead. 
    ************************************************
    I once heard a couple guru say, ‘the longer a compatible couple are together, the more they start looking like one another.’
    This is true as far as I’ve observed. I’ve been couple watching since puberty to break this theory but after watching the faces of couples evolve over the years, I really […]

    See how happy McDonald’s makes my girl!

    Friday, July 13th, 2007

     
    She is such a poser, it’s not funny. She is off to pose for a Baby Heinz press ad this Saturday in her second charity stint. I am proud of her. She tells everyone that when she is a big girl, she will work hard and buy lots of food for the poor people. (we’ve […]

    Self help for procrastinators

    Thursday, July 12th, 2007

    It is now 9.50pm - I have 12 articles to complete by 31st July. I have not started. I did start researching for 1 of them but lost the whole document of research, so that put me off a bit. It’s so much more fun blogging.
    The Hubs walks in and tells me to START WORK […]

    Face Painting, Body Art & Tattoos

    Thursday, July 12th, 2007

    Instead of helping me cook today, Tee busied herself with her new face painting crayons. She loves it so much that I think we have a serious potential tattooist on our hands.
    Just before bed, she refused to allow the Hubs to clean off the sunflower from her face (it’s yellow week so it’s extra special) but […]

    What’s your family food plan?

    Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

    I’m nosey. I can’t help it. Born like that. Just like how I’m impatient, lazy and boring…..and err….so many other things.
    Today, I read this, so I thought I’d share what we had on our carefully planned out menu this week. Considering I am on a low-carb ’so called diet’, we’ve been avoiding the good Chinese […]

    Toddler gangsterism

    Wednesday, July 11th, 2007

    Last week, Tee came home with a bruise on her chest. If it was a bruise on her hand or leg, I wouldn’t have cared less, but since it was on her chest, I took notice. It’s not everyday you get a bruise on your chest? I didn’t think that at her age it might’ve […]

    Great sharing! - Part 1

    Tuesday, July 10th, 2007

    On the way home from school today, Tee despondently said that she didn’t get a ‘great sharing’ punch today. Well, it’s not uncommon that I don’t understand what she goes on about and most of the time, she does rap on with her imagination, but after a few tries, I finally understood. You go, Mummy!
    It is YELLOW week […]

    Blood and fainting

    Monday, July 9th, 2007

    I’m not sure why many of Tee’s dramas always occur whilst I’m spinning the wheel. Is it mere coincidence or is she that bored of the moving window scenery of Protons and highways? I have reminded her for the umpteenth time that whilst I am driving, it is the worst time to bring out the monster […]

    Change is the only constant

    Sunday, July 8th, 2007

    I used to work for a global conglomerate where change evolved every nanominute of my 16 hour day. If it wasn’t happening, something was wrong. We had to be on our toenails 24/7 and employees were stirred in a pressure cooker. A sure formula for raking in the moolah. 
    People used to say that if one could survive there, […]

    The Big Pumpkin

    Sunday, July 8th, 2007

    Finally, I am posting an updated photograph of myself because I found one where I look better than Tee
    She usually gets all the attention whilst I blend into the wallpaper, y’know. Not that I mind. I also don’t look as large as I sound here, so there you go. This was just before we […]
