Thursday, September 20th, 20071980.
Four men were sitting at the waiting room in a hospital waiting for their wives to give birth.
A nurse came out and told the first Daddy, “Congratulation Mr Tan, you are blessed with twins!”
“Ohh……what a coincidence! I work at the PetronasTwinTowers.” Mr Tan joked.
Then another nurse came out and told the second Daddy that he had triplets.
“Wooow! This MUST be a coincidence! I […]
I need to design a child rack!
Thursday, September 20th, 2007Whenever we visit my mom every Friday, it’s Tee’s ticket to freedom. She gets all the candy in the world, is protected from disciplinary warnings and spits at the Thinking Corner. The girl has a SERIOUS field day.
Today was no different. Whilst at her Nana’s house, Tee never wants to do anything I ask her […]
Our dream cars
Thursday, September 20th, 2007The Hubs used to own a bright yellow truck that he absolutely loved. He loved it so much, he named it Tigger. We discussed at length if he should modify his baby with auto accessories as there was just so much one could do with a truck. *wink*
It must be an American thing.
Alas, when I was heavilly pregnant, he had to […]
My first conference table jitters
Thursday, September 20th, 2007The big Petronas job. 20 leery fall guys. I thrashed them. Contract sealed. Headquarters were pleased.
My first brush with a boardroom was in KL. Then, at the inexperienced age of 25, I was merely a secondary contributor. I never would have imagined that one day I would sit at the Chair, control an audience and convince them […]
Thou shall honour thy grandparents in KLIA
Thursday, September 20th, 2007The Hubs is in Bahrain.
It is the kid and I.
Home alone.
I got a call this evening from Tee’s grandparents informing us that they will be in Kuala Lumpur tomorrow evening from 5pm to midnight for a long transit to Shanghai. They hinted for us to visit so they could see their ’sing kang pow pay’. […]
A birthday present for my husband
Thursday, September 20th, 2007The Hubs was born on Guy Fawkes thus I will need to think up a birthday present soon.
What, what, what? *tapping fingers*
A-HAH!!!
I think I’ll get him this. He already has a small one but ever since I attended the Outward Bound School in my teens, I’ve always wanted this better, all-purpose toy. What more, we have […]
How we control our monthly finances
Thursday, September 20th, 2007When I first started earning a salary in England, I used to control my finances by writing down everything I spent in a little 555 book. Remember those from the Roti man? I still write down what I spend today. But in a pocket diary/mini filofax. More glamour…… *smile*
However, with the evolvement of technology and the […]
Entertainment Capital of the World
Thursday, September 20th, 2007Any clue where that is?
The world is so vast and wide that even one who has travelled far across the oceans would have trouble deciphering where exactly the entertainment capital of the world is. What kind of entertainment exactly are we talking about here? Adult kind of entertainment or children entertainment, or both? *scratching head*
Is there […]
Tee’s Party Packs
Monday, September 17th, 2007This is what I was busy with last week.
Although I wasn’t planning a party for Tee this year, she actually requested for one as the date approached. This was 2 weeks after we arrived back from Oz so I freaked out. How was I going to organise a house party (which was all I wanted […]
The Small Pumpkin turned Three at noon, 13/9/07
Monday, September 17th, 2007Just look at her! She looks like she is being all prepped up for her wedding day but it was only her third birthday party. Mom insisted she wore a party dress so that’s why my little gangster is looking all prim and proper. What’s the point in wearing a pretty dress when you act […]
Of sponsored posts AGAIN! Let me rape you….
Monday, September 17th, 2007Some of my readers feel that when I do not fore-warn them that a post below is a sponsored post, they feel cheated, used, dirty and downright manipulated. Did I tell you I was a serial rapist in my past life? I raped women.
I think that as a reader of my blog, one has to be […]
What’s in my Elephant sized handbag?
Sunday, September 16th, 2007This is my most embarrassing moment. I was tagged by Health Freak Mommy for my most embarrassing moment and here, disclosing the contents of my everyday bag to you…….is indeed VERY embarrassing for me. Since I turned my bag inside out, I have since cleaned it out and am carrying a bag five times smaller. Honest […]
Every new mother’s dilemma - to sling or not to sling
Sunday, September 16th, 2007When I was expecting Tee, I had a lot of time to do my research on what I needed, what I really, really, really needed and what I definitely did not need. Being pregnant without a job allowed you time to look into the finer details. Like whether my left nail was cut 2 millimetres shorter […]
My Favourite Boss
Sunday, September 16th, 2007No, it isn’t Tee.
When I was working at the Petronas Twin Towers, it was in my contract that I couldn’t join a client to work for at least 12 months after I left the said company and likewise in our client’s contract with us, they couldn’t poach our staff for a whole 12 months after they left […]
Tee meets Digi’s Yellow Men!
Sunday, September 16th, 2007Very clever, these Digi people. They opt for the yellow men strategy and not a particular face so anyone can be the yellow men. They don’t have to pay someone famous big bucks for their face. They are also the most advanced telco in Malaysia and have big bucks themselves. It is unfortunate that our […]
Losing a friend
Thursday, September 13th, 2007A subject I’m very familiar with.
Over the years I’ve lost a handful of friends which has saddened me to the hilt. For reasons unknown to me, they just disappeared out of my life, like dust in the wind.
When I was 21, my best friend at UCL killed herself. I didn’t stop crying for 2 whole years […]
Of sponsored posts and Tom from Missouri
Thursday, September 13th, 2007THIS IS A SPONSORED POST
Since 50% of commenters to-date are questioning the truth behind my previous post about Tom, I thought I’d better respond to clear the air about why I do sponsored posts.
Because I want to become a millionaire from it, that’s why!!! What did you think???
First and foremost, the story of Tom is […]
Toddlers and the concept of death
Tuesday, September 11th, 2007I’m not sure when or where Tee picked up the concept of death but of late, she has been thinking about it quite a bit. I asked the Moms at school if their kids knew about death and the majority were sure that a three year old would have no comprehension at all about the […]
