    Ranting all day

    Thursday, July 31st, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Instead of packing for my trip tomorrow of which I have to wake up at 5am to catch a flight (BAH!), I am ranting away. Not even sure why. I am just pissed off and tired. I don’t sleep well every night. I am obese and I hate everyone. OK, I am definitely PMS-ing.
    Won’t the […]

    People wanting to become Number One

    Thursday, July 31st, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Here’s me bitching again:
    The world has evolved into a materialistic one, much more so than ever. Everyone wants to be the best friend, or wants to be thought well off. What is involved to get there does not matter.
    I personally prefer people who can be themselves and stay true to themselves. Don’t wash that cup for […]

    Weak and fearful people

    Thursday, July 31st, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    There is a certain category of people that I have come across that I label as such. They are the ones who will talk behind your back and criticize what you do and how you bring up your child but when they are in front of you, all is hunky-dory and sweet that you would […]

    A full day at Magic Kingdom, Disney World - Tee’s Day in Heaven!

    Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

    We told Tee that today was HER day and she was going to meet Mickey, which is all she ever wanted to do since we boarded that plane in Kuala Lumpur. She was SO excited that she started pole dancing on the way to Disney World on the Disney Shuttle. I’m not saying how the […]

    Titles in Malaysia

    Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    In Malaysia, where titles up to a certain level can be ‘bought’, yes literally BOUGHT; like if you paid half a million ringgit to somebody, you could earn yourself an official title; or if you agreed to wax the hair off someone’s wife’s armpits and moustache, with the most important factor being who the someone is; or […]

    Tired of cooking

    Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Ever since we returned from the States, I haven’t felt like cooking. I am really too tired to cook. On the days that we come home early after school, perhaps. But on days when we arrive home at 5pm and exhausted, who the hell wants to start cooking! I tried looking for catering options but […]

    Random thoughts - heard and thought

    Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    If you don’t have time for people, don’t expect them to have time for you.
    What goes around comes around.
    Stay true to thy self. Truth prevails.
    I need a maid, I really, really do.
    There is a lot of bullshit in the world and even more suckers.
    Thank God I married someone who was that last jigsaw piece to my brain, heart […]

    Packing for trip

    Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

    That’s what I’m supposed to be doing but instead I am here at home on the computer I miss it……..being on my computer with absolute silence. I think this time, we’ll only bring one suitcase down and travel light as we are staying with relatives and there will be a washing machine to wash […]

    Worrying thought

    Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Last night, the Hubs was being ‘loving’.
    Then he said, “Hey! I can bury my whole face in your tummy!”
    Oh my Gawd!!! I really need to do lose weight!!!!!
    I haven’t been able to exercise because I have been ill these past week. *sigh* It’s so frustrating!

    Mamapumpkin is Burnt Out

    Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    For the longest time since I returned from the USA, I have been feeling like I hadn’t slept for 4 years. So very tired. I thought it was jet lag but up until now, which is more than a month later and when I am about to make my next trip abroad, I am still […]

    Cross Cultural Marriages

    Tuesday, July 29th, 2008

    The bride and groom who were married last weekend were Malaysian and Dutch. They were fortunate to have appointed a photographer and videographer who seemed very talented but what is now needed is that the wedding that has been videographed here will now have to be translated into Dutch for the Dutch counterparts. They would […]

    Last weekend

    Monday, July 28th, 2008

    We’ve had a very busy weekend with a wedding where Tee was a flower girl, her first time ever. She did great considering she was the only flower girl and had to walk down the aisle scattering rose petals alone before the bridal party followed behind slowly. I am so proud of her. And after […]

    Are any of you using the above as a web browser? How? I’m currently on Internet Explorer (latest) and it is so……slow.

    Valuation of my wedding gold

    Thursday, July 24th, 2008

    Last month, I went to reset my diamond ring so that I could actually wear it again since my finger has doubled in size since I got engaged. At the same time, I brought some gold to be valued with the wholesale jeweller (they sell to most of the jewellers in town) because these were […]

    Durians outside TMC Bangsar

    Thursday, July 24th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    For those of you who love durians and live in Bangsar, there are two durian sellers currently outside TMC - one with two tables directly outside TMC against the TMC walls and another by the roadside along the main road. DON’T GO TO THE ROADSIDE ONE. Been there, it’s crap. And they are so Chinaman […]

    Sick with Laryngitis

    Thursday, July 24th, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    This is a common problem I have had ever since I was in University. Every time it was winter and I got the flu, I was bound to be hospitalised and sometimes struck with laryngitis. All my Univeristy mates know me as the girl who had a note pad and pen around her neck simply […]

    Progressing my life

    Thursday, July 24th, 2008

    Being a parent is hard. Being a stay at home parent is harder. In a typical day, I have to be my daughter’s chauffeur and sit around waiting for her to be driven to her next destination. If I’m lucky, there is enough time to slip in some errands during that time. Then I have […]

    A rather urgent poo

    Tuesday, July 22nd, 2008

    xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
    Clinging onto her prettiest floral dress today, Tee ran to the bathroom shouting, “Mommy!!! Quick!!! I need to poo!!! Bwing me some water!!!” Sigh…..such grace.
    I was in the midst of washing the dishes so I shouted out to her to go ahead first and I’d be right along.
    She soon ran back to the kitchen, still […]
