« Previous EntriesChristmas Eve dinner in Chiangmai
Monday, December 31st, 2007xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Like I said earlier, we left everything of our trip to Chiangmai up to our dearest host. For Xmas Eve dinner, he brought us to the Elvis Presley Restaurant where they had Elvis paraphenalia all over plus some other oldies beyond my time. There was a live band and our resident family Doctor came along […]
Please tell me your typical day resembles mine :-(
Monday, December 31st, 2007xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
We started the day at 10am after an exhausting holiday. Why do they call it a holiday when it is so bloody exhausting?! The Hubs was late for work but still stayed back to fry some scramble eggs for his precious princess because she caught him just before he left for the office at 10am and […]
Curing migraines
Sunday, December 30th, 2007Go shopping!
No, seriously.
After that long chat lecture that the Hubs gave me this evening, I’m suffering from a migraine now. Ouch…..I told him, it ain’t easy taking care of a demanding, spoilt toddler who gives me shit day-in-day-out.
He says he understands but that my JOB is to take care of her. Sounds so easy, huh? […]
Taking stock for the New Year
Sunday, December 30th, 2007xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Hubs has a request for me. Next year, he wants me to:
Sleep before 2am and spend only 1-3 hours daily on the computer. He specifically suggested that I DO NOT turn the computer on all day when I’m supposed to be taking care of Tee. *gulp* From 8-10 hours of computer time daily, this […]
Tee decorating our Christmas tree
Sunday, December 30th, 2007xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Of course, Tee was super excited when I reluctantly dug out the Christmas tree this year and whined and whined and whined to decorate it right now. Like not in five minutes, not after your coffee, Mommy, but RIGHT NOW!!!
Let’s see if she is just as enthusiastic about keeping it! In fact, I’d like to take on […]
Wedding ideas from my head
Sunday, December 30th, 2007I have tons of ideas and have considered doing a business out of wedding design. Just because I, myself, had a crazy, whacky wedding doesn’t mean that I’d design you a psychotic wedding as well! Some people are so close minded. Tsk, tsk….Nevertheless, if you need more Wedding Ideas, you can always check out WeddingChannel.com or […]
The day after Chiangmai
Sunday, December 30th, 2007xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
We just got home yesterday, exhausted. I felt like those timber logs that the elephants in Chiangmai were pulling. We didn’t do a whole lot of shopping. In fact, all I bought was 1 tub of L’Occitane cream and a pair of FAKE Birkenstocks. Yes! They have fake Birkie’s in Thailand! They had lots of fake […]
Our Christmas tree!!! (long overdue post, oops!)
Sunday, December 30th, 2007I just couldn’t manage to fit the whole tree within my camera lense so that’s why it’s broken up into two - haha! Tee decorated the Christmas tree this year so err…….errr……it’s a little busy looking. She couldn’t stop putting stuff on it! Even started making her own ornaments with pipe cleaners! *sigh*

Our yellow truck called Tigger
Sunday, December 30th, 2007When Tee was born, we had a yellow truck Mitsubishi Storm which the Hubs absolutely LOVED. But my worry was always that it would heat up as I heard of several cases of it’s radiator heating up and then smoke coming out of the bonnet. That would totally freak me out. There was an instance […]
And then to make matters worse!
Sunday, December 30th, 2007xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
After a very scary snake experience, my first night in Chiangmai scarred me for life. We arrived at the following restaurant for dinner. When we are in Thailand, we usually leave it up to our host to make the meal plans.
It was a house - how interesting. A restaurant in a house, right in the […]
Credit card advantages
Sunday, December 30th, 2007One of the reasons we use credit cards is the accumulation of points and then the reward of getting something back in return. At the end of this year (that’s one and a half day’s time!), my mother’s Hong Leong Amex Credit Card reward points expires. She has given me the task of claiming the […]
Meeting the neighbourhood friend
Sunday, December 30th, 2007xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
A wild one. A real one. Oh my God. I’m surprised at myself that I didn’t drop dead right there. For those who know me, you know how much I am terrified of all things slimy. That includes reptiles and amphibians of any country, size and form.
There are benefits to living beside a jungle - […]
Where the bum becomes a tap
Friday, December 28th, 2007xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
What’s really nice about this little family holiday is that it’s not so little. Let’s see how much money the airlines made out of us….one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nine, ten, eleven…..and a half. Hang on! Tee paid full fare! So that’s twelve. Half a dozen people from Kuala Lumpur traipsing up […]
Fighting over the vanity sink
Wednesday, December 26th, 2007I’ve already told the Hubs. When we get a bigger place, I not only want my own water closet and mind you, his better be enclosed in a confined space because he takes forever and is full of shit. Literally. I also want my OWN bathroom vanities because I hate waiting and don’t like sharing. I will share […]
More gadgets for my dream home
Wednesday, December 26th, 2007*sigh-sigh* It’s Christmas but some of us here have to work. Especially if we want to afford more gadgets and handbags.
It’s frigging cold here but Tee is running around sockless and have no qualms bathing in ice. Me? I’m the biggest wuss when it comes to the cold and that’s why we could never migrate […]
