    Tis’ October and I am pissed off

    Sunday, September 30th, 2007

    It is 2.15am. I am trying to upload a new Header.
    Why is it not showing!?!

    Spanish Senorita attends her first hoity-toity event

    Sunday, September 30th, 2007

    Without a Nanny, I usually decline all forms of invitations to these type of events. But last week, I had to show face because I was ’supposedly’ part of the organising committee, a useless non-contributor. It was the least I could do. To attend. And I had to attend with Tee. She was the youngest […]

    Another reason why I don’t have a maid

    Sunday, September 30th, 2007

    When we were in Australia, this maid complained that hoovering was too difficult. Especially with a hoover that keeps getting tangled in her little legs, was noisy and heavy. So her Nana got the little princess a new cordless hoover. See what happens when you give an inch to a maid?

    They take a yard. This maid sits […]

    Snippets from my little imp

    Sunday, September 30th, 2007

    The Hubs has a knack for losing things whenever we are out as a family. Temporarily. He loses things because he has the weekend duty of entertaining the little one. Anyone who would dare take on the challenge of being responsible for my little imp would never volunteer taking her again. Not even for an hour. […]

    I had Migraines for a whole year!

    Saturday, September 29th, 2007

    1996 London - I suffered from terrible migraines. I was a walking log, seeing floating spots, feeling hammers smashing my skull, yet numb on one side of my then slim body :-). Nothing made any sense. Sometimes different areas would hurt more and different areas would get numb, also in varying degrees.
    It was very scary. […]

    Love affair with all things sweet

    Saturday, September 29th, 2007

    I think my mother felt a deep bitterness when I was born. As such, drank condensed milk whilst she was pregnant, and fed me everything sweet after. It could’ve been the perpetual PMS. She then says I lost ALL (well, most….) my teeth when I was three because it was her fault. And what does she do now? […]

    Disk cleanup and Disk defragmentation

    Friday, September 28th, 2007

    When was the last time you did the above? Please try it and let me know if my blog is still turtle humping at your end.
    If you do not know how,
    Go to START / All Programs / Accessories / System Tools / Disk Cleanup
    This will help free up space on your computer hard disk by […]

    A lesson in humping aka bonking

    Thursday, September 27th, 2007

    For awhile now, this blinking blog has been loading slower than snail’s pace. Even turtles hump faster and I have witnessed turtles hump, okay??? It took all of two hours before it ended. I bloody hope the male got his orgasm. And that it was worth it.
    Thank you to TC who informed me of this […]

    The challenge of a corporate office designer

    Thursday, September 27th, 2007

    From my experience, majority of Malaysians don’t like spending on office furniture as opposed to their foreign counterparts. If anything, they’d spend a little more on the executive offices and then stinge even more on employee comfort.
    Decision makers need to be more far-sighted when it comes to selecting something as what appears to be as trivial […]

    A man I truly respect

    Thursday, September 27th, 2007

    Have you heard of Ananda Krishnan? Well, it’s not him. But there is someone in town known as ‘the other’ AK or ‘the other’ Krishnan. He is non other than the owner of Eversendai Corporation. Look him up. He is one of the most humblest and most polite gentleman I’ve ever come across and he is very loaded. […]

    Road rage and naked child public punishment

    Thursday, September 27th, 2007

    The latter will scare and infuriate you to no end. These are true stories happening right here in Kuala Lumpur.
    We’ll start with the lesser of evil.
    Kampung Pandan roundabout
    Whilst driving today, I witnessed a road bully. Malay male on a motorbike stopped 90 degrees in front of a green Iswara that housed a blur looking old man. The bloke […]

    The important things in a 3 year old’s life

    Wednesday, September 26th, 2007

     From pretty fair maiden…..
     To the party breakdancer.
     The monkey really IS your real Mummy, Tee….
     You call this a sword? It’s Pink!
     Being twirled like Thumbelina.
     Volunteering as the Magician’s Aid.
     The Monkey Puzzle cake by Mamamin, adapted from Tee’s favourite book.
     The cake had all the characters from the Monkey Puzzle by Julia Donaldson.
     Rap performance of Raindrops on Roses……
     ….and whiskers on kittens…..My little […]

    My daughter is possessed….

    Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

    Let’s hope it lasts.
    Today was an unusually loaded day for us. Tee danced at school, pooed at her Nana’s, visited the Queen, then skipped to her Great-Grandmother’s for her first lantern stroll.
    Our normal days go like this - school, then home. School, then home. School, then home. On extremely rare occassions, school, then a playdate. One playdate.
    Normally, I would never have […]

    Technology’s pulling at my leg!

    Tuesday, September 25th, 2007

    You know, the thing about technology, is that it’s supposed to be the tool that frees us Moms from the grinds of Motherhood.
    Dishwashers (for removing stubborn stains) - tick.
    Dryers (for drying children) - tick.
    Idiot Box (for babysitting) - tick.
    Wheels (for transporting children to the next city. And leaving them there) - tick.
    Computers (for gaining access to the world wide web) - tick.
    Blogging […]

    Talk about efficiency. Thank you, JoMel!

    Monday, September 24th, 2007

    Since my last post about family insurance plans, the lovely JoMel has responded rather promptly and at length to my genuine query. Now I’m not so quick to commit myself into the Education/Insurance plan for Tee. But having said that, I do like the coverage for insurance that she’d get with it. I mean, you […]
