    Just before bathtime today…..

    Tuesday, January 15th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
    “Mommy?”
    “Hmmm?”
    “Girls should have willies.”
    Mommy froze. Mind went blank.
    “Why?”
    “I don’t know. They just should!”
    “Okay.”
    Mommy continues running bath.
    “The willy is like the stem and the pat-pat is like the leaf.”
    Mommy took a minute to digest that.
    “You are correct! Let’s get in now.”
    “No, I don’t want to bath with you. You use the shower. You have peeword.”
    “I don’t. […]

    Improving yourself with a new skill

    Monday, January 14th, 2008

    Us mothers who don’t work like normal people do sometimes allow insecurities to creep into our souls. It is so normal and so understandable because how smart can you really feel when all you had for conversation over the last three years was Dora the lesbian explorer and Barney the ugly fat purple dinosaur? If anything, pure boredom […]

    Sending Tee to Chinese school…..

    Monday, January 14th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
    Tee will be four years old this year. *faint*
    How time flies.
    We have started thinking about schools because depending on our decision on where to send her, we may need to get her registered for pre-school in order to secure a place.
    I’m all for sending her to Kuen Cheng because my neighbour’s kids go there, it’s […]

    Buying furniture online

    Sunday, January 13th, 2008

    Nowadays, it is so much easier to get things online. When we were in Chiangmai, we wanted to purchase a lovely teak wood table but we had to organise shipping and so many details that we decided not to get it in the end. I thought to myself that surely, I’d be able to get […]

    House or Apartment?

    Saturday, January 12th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
    For the last few years since Tee came along, we’ve been living in an apartment but we’re fast outgrowing our space now that Tee has monopolised most areas of OUR apartment.
    We need a house!!! One with a garden so Tee can run around in!
    Last night, we got notice that our apartment management was going to […]

    Glasses or contact lenses? Lasik?

    Saturday, January 12th, 2008

    I currently wear glasses (L-300, R-500) because I can’t be bothered to put on my contact lenses everyday. People have commented that I look 10 years younger when I do take my glasses off though but then again, I was barred from entering an 18x movie when I was 24 years old at a US […]

    Disappointed with Malaysian unprofessionalism

    Saturday, January 12th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    I woke up at 430am this morning only to be pissed to find that I have not been paid where monies were due. I hate it when people swear they will pay you and don’t. At the very least, they could call to offer a reason or make up yet another lame excuse. It’s a […]

    Why do they call it the CAT5E?

    Thursday, January 10th, 2008

    How many of you know what a CAT5E cable is? It is the specification of the orange cable in your office that connects your computer to the internet, not all offices have it. They are of special high performance and used for broadband facilities in the region of 100 Megabytes networks. They are also of a […]

    Things that stop me on my tracks

    Thursday, January 10th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
    I promised Tee the other day that I would stay in school all day downstairs and wait for her. “Mommy won’t go anywhere. Don’t cry. I’ll be right downstairs. I’ll be right here when you finish school at 1230″
    And what did Mommy do as soon as she was out of sight? Drive herself to Bangsar […]

    How to purchase a PABX

    Thursday, January 10th, 2008

    Can you believe that in my last job, I was handling something ten times bigger and more sophisticated than the gadget above? I can’t even believe it. It goes to show that if you’ve been taught something, learnt it and practised it to a T, handling it will be a breeze.
    We provided top end serviced […]

    My Awal Muharram

    Thursday, January 10th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
    Sounds like awal mu haram (early, you’re sacred). Nevermind.
    I woke up at 10.30am this morning after sleeping at 5am last night because my Tee, my oh! so drama Tee, woke up 4 times last night. Every hour on the hour from midnight, complaining of leg pain. Her feet were really painful and she wanted me […]

    Planning a sex holiday this month

    Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

    So…………
    For the first time ever, we’re releasing Tee to her Nana for one night so we can go for some nooky time. At a hotel. Maybe a resort. Or maybe the Ah Chong Ah Kow brothel like back street ‘hotel’ where we can get downright dirty. *scrubs dettol on head*
    The pressure is on. We really […]

    Starting to read at 3.3 years old!

    Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
    When I first starting reading at 5, I was the first in class to read. At that time, everyone thought it was early and to this day, I have old family relatives remembering that I started reading at an early age. What the hell is early? 0_0
    I’d always expected Tee to read early (since she […]

    Tee and her truck toolbox

    Wednesday, January 9th, 2008

    As you may or may not know, my little pumpkin is an incredibly spoilt one. Her Nana buys her everything and anything under the sun. If Tee asked for the moon, there is a 500% chance she’d get it. Whenever Nana travels, she will undoubtedly return with lots of goodies - mountains of clothes and toys but […]

    The retarded octopus

    Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
    Something has been happening to me of late. Something that has made me realise body parts that I never knew I had.
    The Universe has started pulling me in a million different directions and I feel like the retarded octopus, the one with more than eight tentacles growing out of obscure places. I’m not a pretty sight right now.
    After […]

    Virtual casinos attacking physical casinos

    Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
    The Hubs used to design Las Vegas casinos (amongst other things when he practiced entertainment architecture in New York) and they used to make big money doing that. Just imagine, if you were a casino owner, you’d have big, big budgets for building new casinos all over the world. I mean, BIG!! And not only did […]

    I have a chest cramp

    Tuesday, January 8th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
    Uhuh. Is there such a thing?
    Yesterday was Tee’s first day at school. She forced requested for me to stay with her for half an hour before I left and kept looking towards my direction for the distrust that I would just walk out when she wasn’t looking. At one point I thought she would get […]

    The definition of guilt

    Sunday, January 6th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
    I stepped into the raved about Pavillion finally today. It is a newer Mid Valley City with 2 levels of high end designer stores and better finishes. And they have a super cool food court (owned by Singaporeans) that beats KLCC’s flat. Shame on KLCC.
    I wanted to experience what it was like to queue for JCo […]
