« Previous EntriesWould you work in a call center?
Thursday, January 31st, 2008When I was working previously, I got to design some call centers locally. They were big investments as the company had to purchase many workstations, desks, chairs, mirrors, phone lines, furniture for team rooms, chill out rooms, and the list goes on. Then, monthly outgoings were high too as staff needed to be paid, phone calls costed […]
So tired…..but what’s new?
Thursday, January 31st, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I am tired from a full day of taking care of Tee plus I went to the gym today. After three months of not exercising, I actually went to the gym! I even cooked. But I have to force myself to stay awake now as I have work deadlines due in less than two days. Tomorrow […]
Love Thy Mother like never before
Thursday, January 31st, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I got this in an email and wanted to share it.
Always tell someone you love that you love them because you never know what day will be their last, or your own. Always seek to resolve your problems or disagreements with loved ones because if either of you should pass on before, the one who […]
Tee knows what she wants
Thursday, January 31st, 2008Those of you who’ve been following know that we are contemplating a trip to the US this year. It’s going to be a helluva expensive trip and for that reason, we are thinking really hard about it. Like concrete hard. I keep doing the simple harmonic motion dance from we can’t pass up this opportunity of […]

You said what?
Thursday, January 31st, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
After having lunch with a pregnant friend I haven’t seen since forever, Tee asked me today in the shower.
“Mommy? Aunty Mayumi’s stomach is a bit big. She has a baby?”
“Yes, she has a baby. Ewan’s going to be a big brother.”
“Is there a baby in your bum?”
I was so stunned that there was silence for […]
My new year resolution
Thursday, January 31st, 2008Well, one of anyway……
Being a full-time Mom is a demanding chore. If I’d known how demanding exactly, I’d have been happy continuing my fabulous life sipping pina coladas in my white bikini atop a 72 foot Catamaran. No, I kid. Tee is great and I wouldn’t trade her for anything. Really.
I wanted to do something […]
What’ been happening at the Lee household
Thursday, January 31st, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ever since the Alphonsos left, oh, I forgot to tell you, I had relatives from Australia staying with me and I was out of the home from 8am everyday till 10pm and totally dead. From exhaustion. EVERY. SINGLE. DAY. For more than a week. As much as I wanted to, I didn’t have an ounce of […]
Arrowhead chips
Thursday, January 31st, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I’m addicted to the stuff. A dear friend gave me a bottle of what I perceived to be potato chips and I thought, oh no, I don’t like potato chips. Then Tee wanted some and I tried one. Then two, then three, then four, then five. Damn! The stuff is addictive! And before I knew […]
Do your bit to save our planet
Thursday, January 31st, 2008I read an article in the newspaper yesterday written by a foreigner about our use of plastic bags from the supermarkets. How many of you are still carrying plastic bags from supermarkets? He basically said who are we kidding with all this go green crap because although it’s all very nice to use less or […]
Not that anyone noticed my absence…..
Tuesday, January 29th, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
…..but I have been sitting under a bodhi tree meditating on the hills of Nepal, praying for a life filled with the removal of 20 kilos of fat cells from my body, material richness since I already have all other forms of richness and the miracle that Tee will start behaving like a good, quiet, […]
House viewing at Danau Villa
Saturday, January 19th, 2008This is another house we have viewed called Danau Villa - it is located at the fringe of Taman Desa and is developed by Faber Group. There are 60 semi-Ds in the gated development and the houses are nice. But the whole idea is to get away from paying a monthly fee to a ‘management’ […]
I declare this year a no shopping year for me :-(
Saturday, January 19th, 2008Yes, can you believe it? But really…..I have food, water, love and health. And a roof over my head. I already have more clothes than I could ever wear and shoes and handbags. What else do I need? In fact, I wish I had less stuff so I would have more space and less clutter.
Then […]
Let the Daddies do the babysitting!
Saturday, January 19th, 2008One weekend not too long ago, I was shit busy rushing out some work for a wedding publication, so what did I do? Asked my friend to cook us lunch (and she cooked a mean crab curry - YUM!!!), and got the daddies to babysit so I could work in peace!!! PEACE!!! PEACE!!! PEACE!!!!
Like this […]
Do you have a toolbox?
Saturday, January 19th, 2008We have a back area that belongs to the Hubs - ALL his tools are kept there and Tee is forbidden from stepping into that space. These are his toolboxes where he keeps them organised - black for shoe polish tools and miscellanous items, green for the drill and it’s drill bits and related tools […]
