    And another toddler prayer to God

    Friday, November 30th, 2007

    Dear God,
    Thank you for my Mommy’s computer so she can do her work. Thank you for Mommy to have fingers so she can type. Mmmm……thank you for the paddling pool in the cupboard so I can go swimming tomorrow. And thank you for the computer so Mommy can say “OH NO!!!” (huh?)
    Amen
    Naturally I asked her […]

    Manipulating the grandparents

    Friday, November 30th, 2007

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    After this incident, Tee has realised just how far she can get with her Kong-Kong and Amah as and when she likes. The very next morning, she woke extra early, even before the cockerels crowed and flew downstairs to ask her Kong-Kong a question. To which his answer made her face go like this:
    .

    She had just noticed […]

    Catching Puss in Boots

    Thursday, November 29th, 2007

    More adventures from Kong-Kong’s garden:
    Have you all heard the story of Puss in Boots?
    One early morning, Amah trudges into the kitchen grumbling about some pesky cat and the moment Tee hears the letters C.A.T., she drops breakfast and is out in a dash to see the cat. Waddling Running in her toddlerdom of excitement. Amah’s rationale was […]

    The case of the missing camera cable

    Thursday, November 29th, 2007

    It is now almost 2am and I am searching high and low for my camera cable so I can download the days photos.
    I CAN’T FIND IT!!!
    I spent a good 10 minutes searching this entire bedroom but still can’t find it!!! I wonder if Tee has chewed it up or taken it out to play some leashing […]

    The Hubs and his set ways

    Thursday, November 29th, 2007

    He’s an old man, really, my husband. Very set in his ways. He would never buy anything second hand apart from property of which it better be just second hand. Everything he owns must be nice and new. I wonder if it has anything to do with boarding school. I am the total opposite of that, […]

    Amah’s secret to hair dye

    Thursday, November 29th, 2007

    Tee’s Amah is hitting seventy but has the most natural looking healthy hair. Today I learnt her secret……..instead of having a head full of white hair, she buys this hair dye from the beauty salon called Kadus and mixes two colours. Then she conditions her hair with kadus hair mask. She said that she used […]

    I’ve created a monster!

    Thursday, November 29th, 2007

    I’m not sure which part exactly I screwed up in nor where and when but somewhere along the last three years of Tee’s life, there has been some accidental parenting going on. Accidental parenting was defined by the late Tracy Hoggs as whatever we do as parents unknowingly that lead to problems later on. (if you’re […]

    Monetizing my blog

    Thursday, November 29th, 2007

    Ever since my blog page rank dropped to a big fat egg, I’ve been wiling away my time searching for ways to increase it again. Because of that, there are hardly any opportunities for sponsored posts these days, thus it only means I should maximise this oppotunity to do a blog clean up. Sweep out the basement and […]

    Little girl, little girl….where are you going?

    Thursday, November 29th, 2007

    This was Tee’s THIRD activity for the evening. AFTER golf. AFTER starfruit picking.
    We do a LOT in one evening, don’t we? Why do you think Mommy is beat up all the time???

    She carries her pail and spade carefully from the back of the house…..

    Then walks towards her destination of choice……

    Kong-Kong’s home-grown sand pit!!!

    Great music from MusicNotes this year!

    Thursday, November 29th, 2007

    Yup! That’s what I’m helping Santa with this year - stuffing everybody’s stockings with MusicNotes coupons so they can go out to to get their very own favourite CD to listen to this Christmas. Now that’s a Christmas pressie I wouldn’t mind! On top of that, everyone will also get a carefully selected book by myself […]

    Some of the perks in Kota Bharu

    Thursday, November 29th, 2007

    As much as I am counting the days to coming home to KL, I must say that living here with the in-laws does have some perks (well, apart from the given that I do not need to cook nor clean everyday, hehe…..) like this. Moreover, I am booked for a professional massage by a Malay […]

    Holiday tip

    Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

    Whenever you’re about to plan a holiday, be sure to make your Hotel Reservations way in advance (a month would be great) and if you’re looking for a one stop site to search for competitive rates and accommodation of all sorts, from a plush resort to a two star hostel, look no further than HotelReservations.com.

    The starfruit helper

    Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
    After she got bored with golf (yeah!!! after all that effort!!! what did you expect?), she decided that she wanted to help Amah pluck starfruits from the starfruit tree in the garden. Amah has two flourishing starfruit trees that give her many, many starfruits every year which she’ll take to the market to sell. Amah […]

    Tee’s Hole in One

    Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

    “Yo, I got a hole-in-one Mama!!” says my lil’ TIGER WOODS.
    This is the story. See this garden below? Don’t you think it’s a beautiful garden? Especially for a toddler to run around in? She can ride a bicycle, play football, run back and forth catching butterflies, cut grass, pluck flowers, roll around……so much to do. […]

    The decision of bankruptcy

    Wednesday, November 28th, 2007

    There was this executive committee member at the local club we hang out at who had declared himself a bankrupt. This posed an uproar amongst many members as they felt a bankrupt shouldn’t be allowed to hold such an important position. It was strange because I was introduced to this guy before and he certainly […]
