« Previous EntriesGetting into property
Thursday, October 30th, 2008For the longest time, my business associates, or should I say, ex-business associates have encouraged me into the property line since I made good property sales in the past. They always asked me to join them but I never relented because I was just too lazy.
Nevertheless, if I ever did property, I would stay away […]

Calling all footie fans!
Thursday, October 30th, 2008Yes, you! The one who’s absolutely crazy about football. Check out www.partofthegame.tv. Not the American kind. Soccer!I can never figure out why Americans call it football when they clearly don’t use their foot with the ball.
Anyway, Carlsberg is launching football fever over the web via web tv which means that you football […]
Confusing rhymes
Thursday, October 30th, 2008Tee is very good at composing lyrics to music frequently making up her own songs (that rhyme even) to existing tunes. She can even compose her own brand new tunes.
However, despite the many times she has understood what a rhyme is, she still sometimes gets it confused and will ask if house rhymes with heist? […]

Hiring a helper for my own sanity
Thursday, October 30th, 2008I’m 80% sure that by the end of this year, I’ll be filling in forms to hire a helper for the Lee Household. I’ve taken care of Tee single-handedly for a whole four years and feel that it is time. Despite the Hubs’s severe need for privacy around the home and despite his ache in […]
Educating a four year old who is school-less
Thursday, October 30th, 2008Well, first of all, I attended a performance this evening at the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. An Italian ensemble of strings and a harpsichord. Have you ever, EVER seen a life harpsichord being played? Not I. In fact, I’ll bet that 80% of the Malaysian population not know what a harpsichord is.
Anyway, we had those boxed […]
Making time for people you love….
Tuesday, October 28th, 2008Have you ever been down and out and close to thinking that life is no longer gratifying, and that every corner you turn throws you a hard punch on your nose, and you feel so alone because nobody really understands what it is you’re going through, or how hard you have to fight just to […]
What to do when tourists are bored
Tuesday, October 28th, 2008My friend who is a German tour guide, gets many German tourists who take long bus trips all over the country. He always tells me how tiring these trips are as he has to keep talking for a few hours just to entertain the passengers, and there isn’t much to talk about once you get […]

Secrets of The Baby Whisperer
I highly recommend it to every new mother.

Someone else blogged about Tee :-)
Friday, October 24th, 2008Someone I’ve known for 22 years.
“On an aside, I had lunch with an ex-schoolmate of mine from secondary school days yesterday - and it was great fun to catch up with some gossip - who’s up to what now - reminiscing about ex-teachers - catching up on life in general. She has a darling […]
My legs do the walking, and my Indian blood does the talking…
Friday, October 24th, 2008Apart from requesting for pear balls for breakfast, in our extreme haste, Tee just HAD to bring her little bag out today. I explained to her that all we were going to do was run around doing some errands and pick her grandparents up so there really was no need to bring a bag along. […]
12 hours with my in laws from Kota Bharu
Friday, October 24th, 2008At 9am this morning, Tee and I dashed out the door like professional sprinters running errands for the in laws, and I kissed my husband’s toes for canceling the plumber’s visit today as I really would have broken down to the floor and cried my eyeballs out.
After completing our errands with breakfast on the go […]
Sneaky little girl
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008Yesterday, when I told Tee I had to go somewhere to collect some books, she requested to stay in the car whilst I ran up to get the books. There was no way I was going to leave her in the car so I said she had to follow me up, after which she protested […]
A morning at the fish spa
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008I spent a lovely morning here where little fish bite the dead skin off your feet with three other lovely ladies. What can be greater than spending a lovely morning with lovely ladies?!
Guess where I am???
Initially it was ticklish as hell (and I’m really not a ticklish person) but eventually, I got used to […]
A Question for God
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008Just before bed tonight as usual, Tee said her prayers that included a long……………….list of thank you’s. It’s good, this thank you thing. It reinforces her gratitude for certain things in her life, like her wonderful Mommy and her best Daddy, ever.
Since her list was especially long tonight, I asked her if she wanted to […]

How to tell if your child is being stimulated at school
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008If your child (well, four year old that is, I can only speak for four year olds right now), gets enough sleep throughout the night (ie 12 hours sleep straight or 12 hours inclusive of daytime naps) and is STILL feeling tired, it probably means that they are being stimulated at school. Unless of course, […]
