Monday, November 26th, 2007Last year, we decided that we will stop using our credit cards as much as possible as we had taken a loan to pay off the credit card bills which were very high and had very high interest as well. So it only made sense. After awhile, an angel offered us an interest free loan […]
I have a lot of time at my in-laws
Sunday, November 25th, 2007to find inspirational quotes that I wanted to share…….
.
“Life isn’t about how to survive the storm, but how to dance in the rain.”
And I intend to live that.

“True love is neither physical nor romantic. True love is an acceptance of all that is, has been, will be and will not be.”
I truly love my husband […]
Something to think about
Sunday, November 25th, 2007Have you got one person in your life whom you are irritated with? Or whom you cannot stand? That one person who just brings out all feelings of hostility within your body? More often than not, this person is the black cat mother-in-law! Thankfully for me, this is not the case.
Anyway, let’s get to the […]
Flu gone worse
Sunday, November 25th, 2007I woke up this morning feeling like I’d been beaten up by a half a dozen gangsters with big sticks. None of my joints could move without pain and there was this huge mother ass of a bite on my neck, larger than a 50 cent coin. My head is pounding to the point where […]
Renovating our current home
Saturday, November 24th, 2007Since we are nowhere near to purchasing our dream home, the Hubs’ immediate solution is to build storage into our current already very crowded place. He’s going to have to be extremely creative in finding room for building storage as three quarters of our place is already filled with Tee’s stuff. If he does manage […]

We made it in one piece
Saturday, November 24th, 2007It is 9pm and I am about to crash in bed. This is not normal. We arrived in Kota Bharu in one piece without dramas (phew!) and Tee actually slept on the plane for the first time in her life. Now this girl who has been on planes more than the guys who travel the […]
Jewellery brings good fortune
Saturday, November 24th, 2007Of course you need not deck yourself up like a Christmas tree! But wearing a rock won’t hurt any lady.
My mother is a big fan of jewellery. In fact, just tonight she bought some beautiful coloured stoned rings to beautify her slim fingers, not that they need any help. She believes strongly that wearing jewellery brings […]
Tee’s way of entertaining herself
Friday, November 23rd, 2007My girl is forced to be independent because Mommy has a lot of work to do so most days, she will find something or other to play with, by herself. Well, I can’t be playing with her all day, right??!
Sometimes, she will play her toys and games quietly but sometimes, like this morning, she discovered […]
I’m hot, Hot, HOT!!!!
Friday, November 23rd, 2007That’s the big, dense warehouse talking…..
I laughed out loud this morning when I saw the name ‘big ass fans’ and laughed even louder when I identified that these were real fans, 24 feet in diameter!!! That’s almost 5 of me lying horizontal!!!
That’s huge! I immediately imagined that they would be for aircraft hangar use or for some Industrial Ventilation of […]
Tee and the poo-poo book
Thursday, November 22nd, 2007Today, in the bathroom just as I was about to give Tee a bath, I heard a thud followed by,
“Oops! That’s Daddy’s poo-poo book.”
“What poo-poo book?” I asked curiously.
“There!” she pointed into the empty bath tub, the latest HWM magazine (not playboy). “I accidentally dropped it” she explained honestly.
“Why do you call it a poo-poo […]
Apart from the dream house….
Thursday, November 22nd, 2007Let’s say that by the time we get richer and our dream house is no longer available. What are we to do then?
We’ve already planned this. We’re good planners, the Hubs and I. Err…..and Tee too.
We’d look for land for sale in our area and build our own dream house here. Unfortunately, we’d have to wait and […]
Tee’s new favourite hangout
Thursday, November 22nd, 2007My daughter has expensive taste. What can I say? She’s definitely inherited my royal bloodline. She no longer likes Bangsar Village due to the presence of manequins and thinks that The Gardens has none. YES! Her new favourite haunt is the latest high end retail mall, The Gardens!!!
She asks to go to it every single night […]
Fret not if you’re in deep debt
Thursday, November 22nd, 2007Well, of course, it’d be better if you weren’t but if you were, it isn’t the end of the world provided you are wiling to make a change in your spending habits. I have been deep in debt before, trust me.
The first thing to do is to seek professional debt help. Do your research, ask around […]

I want to be your friend because…..
Thursday, November 22nd, 2007*fill in the blanks*
I’ve been doing some thinking lately how difficult it must be for some people to find friends. Let’s say you are the daughter of the Prime Minister, or some famous celebrity or perhaps your dad is Donald Trump; maybe you yourself are the person of attraction because of some reason or other. How would […]
For the love of swimming
Thursday, November 22nd, 2007My girl will do anything for water.
She failed to put on her bikini top because it was about to rain hence we were RUSHING to let her get a dip, just so she could get a dip, before the clouds collapsed on us. Because you know, she just HAD to swim that day.

A passion for cooking
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007And eating, of course!
I first started cooking when I lived abroad and discovered that I not only loved the cultivated art of culinary sport but also loved sharing with everyone (the poor guinea pigs), my newly discovered recipes.
This evening, after scouring some old family recipes (my Mom has tons and I will be inheriting them one […]
Santarina Tee on stage
Tuesday, November 20th, 2007Now you know why Tee was in her red Santarina/Convict/Cockerel outfit. It was her last day at school and she was performing, but look at her! She had purposely pulled her hat down to cove
