    Day 2 - still no exercise……. :-P

    Tuesday, April 29th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    I was busy babysitting TWO lil’ 3 year old girls today, OKAY????????
    Actually, it was damn easy - they entertained each other ALL DAY.
    Leaving me time to enjoy a lovely banana oatmeal porridge, an orange juice, a coffee neat, 4 slices of bread (wholemeal & whole grain) with meat and cucumbers, two thighs off a roast chicken […]

    I got caught lying!!!

    Monday, April 28th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Yesterday, we went for a lunch at my Mom’s friend’s house where Tee was the only toddler and needed some drastic entertainment. She kept asking for our phones because she likes to play the games on it but I have been clamping down hard on TV, computers and phone games, not to mention PLAYSTATION portable […]

    Investing in the stock market

    Monday, April 28th, 2008

    I’ve just started putting some money into the stock market because I stand to get much better interest than our pathetic 3% Fixed Deposit rate. However, I’ve discovered that I don’t have very good investor relations as my remiscier doesn’t advise me on anything! Now, I have to watch the stocks myself pretty much, and […]

    The reason for this lifestyle change

    Monday, April 28th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
    Is because everytime I look in the mirror during my yoga class, I have the largest ass out of all the various women who attend yoga at yogazone. What is it with yogazone? Can’t they have a yoga class specifically for larger women?
    And then, my right thigh now in inches, is much, much larger than my waist […]

    Lifestyle change for Mamapumpkin

    Monday, April 28th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx 
    With all the healthy and weightloss pressure that’s going on in blogosphere from TBG and JoMel, I am now subjecting myself to a public pledge for a lifestyle change. It really is about fucking time now that I have my own personal treadmill.
     So…….
    The plan is to lose 20 kilos. The reward for the first 10 kilos […]

    Teak Furniture

    Monday, April 28th, 2008

    Now that the treadmill has arrived, my home is getting just a little bit too cramped. Actually, it feels like sardines in a can with droplets of Tee’s toys after a hurricane. In the can. I think it’s time to do a spring clean, hmm…….I said that 5 years ago and it never happened. Talk […]

    Lazy Pumpkin wants her own Home Cinema

    Monday, April 28th, 2008

    These days, going out is such a chore. I am so lazy that getting out of my home clothes is difficult, putting on make up is a painful and making small talk is a drag. Next Friday, the Hubs and I go for a double date to watch a movie and as much as I’m looking […]

    Corporates who value quality

    Monday, April 28th, 2008

    Will resort to Cisco switches, whether or not they are brand new Cisco switches or used cisco switches because Cisco is such a renown supplier of reliable switches that really, it is just the clever thing to do. I had a friend who worked at Cisco as Head of Marketing and she swears by them despite the […]

    The lives of the pumpkins

    Thursday, April 24th, 2008

    My lil’ vain pot checking her face out after make up before going out for a party.
    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    The treadmill has arrived. I can’t believe we never invested in it before! I promise you, in a year’s time, I will still be here pledging that I have been on it on a regular basis. Now, […]

    Crystals popping

    Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Lately, my crystals have all been popping. I’m not quite sure why. I haven’t banged them or been rough with them. In fact, I wear them and treat them extremely kindly, yet, one by one, they seem to be exploding. WTF!!! Thousands of dollars for exploding crystals?! I’m now wondering if they’re all fake! How […]

    Toddler swimming skills

    Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

    Everyone says that when a baby reaches 6 months old, if you want him/her to be a swimmer, to dunk him into the water. But they don’t tell you exactly how. Do you do it slow motion, do you push her head into the water and pull it out within the second, do you throw […]

    Baby cribs

    Tuesday, April 22nd, 2008

    Whilst having breakfast with some Moms today, they were discussing oval shaped baby cribs and how perfect they were etc. Coincidentally, I’d just seen one last weekend and wondered to myself, hmm…..that’s new, haven’t seen that around before. Would you use an oval baby crib or a rectangular cot? For me, a rectangular shaped crib […]

    The sneaky Tee

    Monday, April 21st, 2008

    Look at this girl……..she can barely skate but she already wants to do some kung fu stunts with her skates. Talk about running before walking………
    This week, whilst I was having a shower, Tee ran into the bathroom hurriedly and pulled out a stool which she then slumped into and asked, “Mommy, can I watch you […]

    Blondie!!!
    Sorry I don’t have pics yet cuz’ I just haven’t had any time to take any. We’ve been out from dawn till dusk every day this weekend but let me tell you this, Tee wants her old Mama back. This morning when she woke up, she said, “Mommy, go wash your hair and get rid […]

    Disappointments in friendship

    Saturday, April 19th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Recently, my mother had an old school girls meet up and all the old ladies yakked and yakked and yakked and had fun. However, a few days later, one of these old school friends had gone and passed some news around. This piece of news was passed around further and further till it returned to […]
