« Previous EntriesWould you buy life insurance for a toddler?
Sunday, May 25th, 2008Everytime we travel, we buy travel insurance from our agent and he keeps asking us if we want a life insurance quotes for Tee. I first had my life insurance at the age of 17 and only because my mother bought it for me, so when I returned from the UK, I had to start […]
Making money buying shares
Sunday, May 25th, 2008Recently, I have taken out some money to buy some shares in the local stock exchange. And this has required me to open a checking account because I had to pay my remiscier with checks. I’ve never had a checking account before because I just was too lazy in the past. The shares I bought […]
Overpriced House in Bangsar
Sunday, May 25th, 2008I saw a 4 million dollar house the other day in Bangsar - JUST FOR FUN. When I showed some interest, the price dropped to 3 million. Incredible. Then, when I asked for the layout plans, they asked me how much I would buy it for. Haha…..with a house like that, I would need at least […]
Lazy Sunday
Sunday, May 25th, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Finally, I’ve started putting clothes on the bed that will eventually be put into the suitcases. We’re travelling light, as light as possible, because Tee’s entertainment and snacks alone are enough to fill a bath tub. She still has a fever, bless her, and a nasty chesty cough. We’re resting her as much as possible.
I […]
Tee has a conscience
Saturday, May 24th, 2008Check out my deep sea diver practising in her jacuzzi
xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Today, whilst the Hubs and I were both busy on our respective computers, Tee busied herself with my gold and silver baubled ring that I’d flippantly left on our study table. All we remembered were whines that she wanted to play the computer with […]
Finally packed on paper
Saturday, May 24th, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Ever since we arrived back from Redang, we’ve been tired and stressed but this evening, I finally feel in control because I have finally packed for our almost month long trip to the US. On paper. I’ve typed out an excel sheet for everything that we need to bring, thanks to a dear friend who […]
Branding a business
Saturday, May 24th, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Over the last three years, apart from caring for a baby who speedily turned into a toddler, my brain has been ticking about what I’d really like to do with my life once the job of caring for babies is out of the way (does it really end?). I’ve thought of several potential businesses I’d […]
When the toddler annoys you
Thursday, May 22nd, 2008Tee and I have this agreement about music in the car. Mornings are Mommy’s turn to listen to the radio and afternoons are her turn to listen to whatever the hell she wants. She has a furry cow in the car that holds all her audio CDs that she loves picking and choosing from depending […]

Today, I paid for my travel insurance to travel - it cost us RM419 for a family package to cover any mishap during our travels. It is always better to buy separate travel insurance to travel than rely on the credit card’s travel insurance because the credit card’s travel insurance is very, VERY basic and […]
I am so pooped!
Tuesday, May 20th, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Just got back from Pulau Redang. Went fishing and ACTUALLY CAUGHT FISH!!! I am so pleased with myself. I caught ONE ikan kerisi (I have no clue what it is called in English but that’s what the boat men said it was!) - it was a beautiful silvery purple colour and we grilled it for dinner. […]

New school for Tee
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I suddenly chickened out of Kuen Cheng and decided that it was more important in this world to be really good in English than to be good in Mandarin. All because I found this amazing home school that has produced the finest of pre-schoolers I have ever met. So this is where the creme of the crop […]
Mega stressed Mom

This always happens when you lack sleep, metamorphosize into an evil bitch. *scowls*
After a late movie night, we woke up late this morning and found that the Hubs had left his precious daughter at home. Wasn’t he supposed to have taken her to school? Fuck, no lie in for me. After bouncing out of bed with […]
What shall I pack for the beach?
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008Off we go on Friday to the East Coast - sun, sea and corals…….Tee is really looking forward to it. Tomorrow is packing day and I have to squeeze everything for the three of us into two tiny, tiny pulley bags. Tee’s beach toys alone will take up half a bag. *sigh* As for myself, […]
A woman changes with age….
Wednesday, May 14th, 2008When I was in my teens, I used to bake atop yachts, beside swimming pools or baren rocks in the skimpiest of bikinis; sometimes to the point of sun stroke (which I actually had once with a high fever!) just for that sexy tan. Later, having dark skin was no longer cool and I wanted […]
