Wednesday, October 31st, 2007I have this childhood friend who is and Indian girl whom I’ve known since I was twelve. She went to England to study Biotechnology for four years, decided she didn’t like it and did medicine instead for another six years. Then she wanted to speciliase and that was another three years. Having lived in Scotland […]
The aftermath of the haircut
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007When I left the hairdresser the day before yesterday, I looked like this.
Or should I qualify…….my HAIR looked like this.
I felt refreshed, light and decadent. My maid syndrome had vanished and I was about to start painting my nails, strutting my heels, and wearing clothes other than baggy T-shirts and jeans. But today. Something happened. I […]
So how does this fabric actually absorb sweat?
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007We’re talking about NFL jerseys and just in case you didn’t know, NFL stands for National Football League. It’s also not the soccer kind of football.
I was told that these jerseys were made out of a special material in order to absorb the sweat of sportsmen. Ewe….
It is made out of twilled cotton. That means the […]
Home is where the hearth is
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007Look at these homes at the Outer Banks!!! If a picture paints a thousand words, these pictures don’t need any. At first glance, I already want to own one of those houses. Just imagine, perched on a hill with only foliage as neighbours and then looking out into the lakes; huge windows for plenty sunlight; wide […]
The state of my hair again :-(
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007After I got pregnant, I lost a LOT of hair. Then, when Tee was two years old, I was STILL losing hair. There is an old Malay superstition that as long as your baby is still drooling, the mother will continue to lose hair. In my case, it was completely true. Because even at TWO YEARS […]
What I’ll do for my next baby
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007When I had Tee, motherhood completely overwhelmed me, especially since I had the pregnancy from hell. So I never thought anything beyond keeping my baby alive.
But now that I’m a little more experience, I would send out photo birth announcements to tell the whole world about the arrival of my new precious. I mean, look at […]
Paris Hilton in Vegas
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007Apart from casinos and entertainment, Las Vegas always makes me think of Paris. Conrad Hilton’s grandaughter. See? I told you I was a pro at celebrity news. Blek!
Seriously, I read about her having a really jolly time in all those Las Vegas hotels and wonder what I would be doing if my family owned a […]
Dehydration and me
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007In the last two weeks, I’ve known TWO people whom I see on a regular basis, who’ve been admitted into hospital for dehydration. Can you believe it? I never took dehydration seriously but now, since I am a non-drinker, I am a little bit worried. It is genetic that I don’t drink water. My mother […]
How my mother spoils Tee with candy
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007Apart from the fact that my beloved mom gives Tee anything and everything she asks for, the moon included, she also offers Tee stuff that she doesn’t ask for!!! Like, do you want this. No? I’m sure you do. C’mon!! I know you want it!! No? Think about it. Maybe later? Now? It’s good! Have […]
Tee acting up in school
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007This last week, I have been spending a LOT of time in front of my laptop so much so that Tee has begged for my attention. She tells me, “Look at the TV scween with me, Mommy!!” Then she takes her two little hands to twist my head so it faces the TV screen. Or […]
How I do my daily reading
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007I used to go through your blogs by clicking on my favourites folder these last two years but just recently, I found that the list was growing and growing and growing as I make more friends online. Thus, I finally decided to subscribe to bloglines. I wish I’d done it sooner!!! How silly of me.
Bloglines allows […]
A letter to my brother about making money
Wednesday, October 31st, 2007Dearest brother,
I know how much you love money so I thought I’d introduce you to some money making avenues, such as working (do you know what that is?) Or robbing a bank. Or playing the stock market. Or betting on poker with some like-minded friends. Oh, you like black jack? That’s available too.
There is this site […]
The crap that comes out of my head
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007In my quest to earn enough to pay for all the kiddy presents that we have to buy, a lot of crap shoots out of my head. It is not easy managing a household (although the Hubs manages it a lot more than I do *smile*), managing and caring for a three year old toddler, […]
Three great uses for a van
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007I have always wanted to take a caravan road trip in great weather so I do hope my wishes will come true one day. I’ve imagined this since I was a little girl so it’ll be awesome if we could take Tee for a trip across Kiwi hills or something. Tee could run around on grass at every […]
This is not my dream home
Tuesday, October 30th, 2007Despite the lovely grass that Tee could potentially play in. She loves the outdoors, my girl. So this house would be perfect for her but it was overpriced for what we were getting. My husband and I are both architects, so we know what we’re paying for. And we obviously want value for our money […]
