Tuesday, March 9th, 2010
Since I’m in the mood, I was wondering if a house maid can ever have an administration job in an office? Seriously, assuming they had a tertiary education, can read and write pretty fluently, had some common sense, do you think they’d qualify for an admin jobs? Mine is pretty smart but I wonder. I [...]
Fixing lights
Monday, March 8th, 2010The lights in our living room have a habit of going bust every now and then and when they do, Tee would become the broken record reminder to the Hubs that he needs to fix it as it involves her. Her desk sits in the middle of the living room, facing the TV(although the TV [...]
Traveling at short notice
Thursday, February 25th, 2010We finally got all our passports done. Not without a lot of pain and me speaking to the head of immigration, mind you. Anyway, it is now done. The good thing about it is that apart from going on holiday together as a family, we never know when we would need to be on a [...]
People who need to grow
Thursday, February 18th, 2010This world and especially in KL, has so many defected people who really need to be more exposed, gain more experience and learn about the ways of the world. I come across defected people on a daily basis and it saddens me. But as much as I try to help them, sometimes, people just don’t [...]
How to get rid of dark circles
Thursday, February 18th, 2010You know, I’ve never, ever had a problem with dark circles until now. I not only have to get up to feed my baby in the wee hours of the morning but at least once a week, I am forced to get online to work till the wee hours in order to complete my assignments. [...]
Stress causes acne
Thursday, February 18th, 2010After all those Chinese New Year goodies and with the stress that I have been enduring these last weeks, my face is now resembling that of the moon. Yup, filled with craters. OK, I’ll try not to be so dramatic. But seriously, when was the last time I suffered from acne? I can’t even remember! [...]
Applying sample creams
Thursday, February 18th, 2010I am usually one who is too lazy to apply moisturisers of any sort but in my recent trip to Kota Bharu, I knew it would be very, very hot and that I would be very dehydrated so I brought along some sample wrinkle lotion to apply whilst I was there. I couldn’t remember how [...]
Cellulite is genetic
Thursday, February 18th, 2010Cellulite is genetic but a lot of it also depends on ones diet. I’ve had this dreaded orange peel butt ever since I was 13 and despite being very slim then, I still had a dimpled bum and I used to hate it! Every time I sat down, I would use my hand to cover [...]
Make project management easier
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010In my days as project manager, I was known as the great project manager because I was not only young, I was the only lady and I could sure kick some butt. I was diligent on a daily and hourly basis to follow up and chase, chase, chase until things got done. On time or [...]
Errant drivers at school
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010One thing that irritates me about Tee’s school is the way cars and their respective drivers rule the road as though their grandfathers built them. These people, they practise their driving skills as though it was a bumper car ride outside the school. What more, there is no vehicular discipline at all. Cars just go [...]
Do you own a pair of Cole Haans?
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Do you? Do you? What’s the verdict? I’ve had a browse through their website and there are some very, very nice designs but since I’ve never owned a pair of Cole Haans, I cannot comment on their quality. Care to share? Some of their moccasins look temptingly comfortable, it almost makes my feet want to [...]
The purpose of smoking a cigar
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010I know this person who took a second wife despite having a good first wife and four children. We all advised him against it as not only could he not afford to keep one family above water, but to get himself involved in another would only mean trouble. But his second wife thought he was [...]
Getting rid of my tummy
Sunday, February 7th, 2010For the longest time, even after my first pregnancy with Tee, I’ve never had a problem with my tummy. I was always small waited but big butted. Yeah, God is fair. He gave me a big arse and big tree stump thighs but blessed me with a small waist. However, after T2, things have changed. [...]
Do you really need prenatal vitamins?
Sunday, February 7th, 2010For both my pregnancies, I had not taken any prenatal vitamins because my Doctor hadn’t recommended them. I always wondered why because she had recommended them to mutual friends so I second guessed that perhaps she could tell I was a good eater from my large size and probably had no need for additional nutrients [...]
Losing 10 kilos in 2010
Saturday, February 6th, 2010Man, oh man! I really wonder if this will happen. It is already February and in order to lose 10 kilos, I’d have to lose an average of 1 kilo per month. Although I’ve started exercising, I am yet to have lost any weight and this is because, psychologically when I am working out so [...]
Removing acne scars
Saturday, February 6th, 2010When I was a teenager, we had a Filipino helper who had very bad acne scars on her face. My mother had suggested she try some aloe vera on her face every night to lessen the discolouration. Those days, we lived in a bungalow with a garden and lots of space to host aloe vera [...]
Selecting products wisely
Saturday, February 6th, 2010Whenever I am about to purchase anything big or small, I always do my research. Before I sent Tee to her first school, I visited 15 schools around my area, had a check list of all the things to look out for and drill the school with and spoke to lots of Moms. When I’m [...]
Psoriasis getting worse
Saturday, February 6th, 2010I suffer not only from sinusitis and asthma but also psoriasis and probably some form of rheumatism too, seeing that my joints are always aching. Of late though, my psoriasis has flared up pretty badly (most probably due to stress) and I badly need to see a dermatologist. But even then, I can hardly find [...]
Baby who doesn’t gain weight
Friday, February 5th, 2010T2 is still 6 kilos after 2 months. *sigh* I do hope she doesn’t fall under the category of ‘failure to thrive’ because that would really be worrying as we not only don’t have Medicare supplement but honestly, a healthy baby is all we ask for!
Everyone who looks at her says she doesn’t look too [...]
Watching movies on computer
Friday, February 5th, 2010Whenever the girls sleep by 8pm, the Hubs and I will inevitably watch a movie on my laptop with both our headphones on. What a pathetic sight! The two of us would lay on our tummies with the laptop in front of us and each girl on either side (to prevent them from waking up [...]
Tee’s heavy school bag
Saturday, January 30th, 2010Every Thursday, Tee comes home with a school bag that is not only heavier than her but larger than her as well and if you were to throw it at her, you’d certainly kill her! Thursday is homework day and all the textbooks that requires homework, gets sent home together with the heavy exercise books [...]
Getting new car insurance
Friday, January 22nd, 2010The Hubs was asking me the other day to do some research on car insurance and to get an auto insurance quote for myself as currently, I don’t own a car per se as my car is under his name. Thus I have had no car insurance under my name for many years and this [...]
Trip back to ancestral land
Friday, January 22nd, 2010Today, we took a drive back to Teluk Intan, which is where my ancestors come from, because my relatives from Australia wanted to see some history on their roots. Well, on one side anyway. We drove two cars down and the Hubs was driving so fast that at one point, I reminded myself that I’d [...]
Swimming with an over the hill body
Saturday, January 16th, 2010Recently, my friends and I had a swim together in our bikinis. All of us now mothers who’ve known each other for more than 30 years. It was pretty safe to say that ALL of us have bodies that we no longer had and could do with some stretch marks cream. Uhuh. The only person [...]
Suffering from eczema
Saturday, January 16th, 2010I suffer from allergies in the form of bad sinusitis, asthma and mild eczema. All my life, I have had to carry a canister of medication wherever I go, a few boxes of tissues (just in case) and some nails to scratch my itch from my eczema. The itch always occurs in the same old [...]
