Boredom
Mamapumpkin’s Left Foot - Specimen A
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008A - notice the pointed shape of my feet? That is from squeezing my feet into high heels at the age of 10. No kidding. I was strutting 3 inch pink high heels at school events at the age of 10. I’d hate to think what Tee would be up to at 10.
B - not […]
Doing something productive
Friday, November 14th, 2008Having a toddler means always thinking of ideas to keep them entertained. What more with a precocious little girl who’s always complaining of her boredom. To me, that’s a sure sign of a lazy brain. One who thinks can never get bored!
Anyway, Tee was bored. Again. So I got her to arrange her Mr Men […]
Blog design
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008I’m getting bored of my blog design. I used to have this great big plan of changing it every month, think I sustained that for less than six months, haha…. Does anyone want to help me do it? It is quite straightforward. Just upload the photos and put it in the right dimensions onto […]
People who get too big for their boots *vomit*
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008Do you know any?
Let me tell you of just 2 that I know.
NS (nose shit?) used to be a poor little girl whom I grew up with. For some reason, she was a very insecure girl but who am I to judge? Throughout her teenaged years, she would latch herself onto mega rich men from […]
Is this how old married couples feel for each other?
Thursday, September 4th, 2008I got this on the email today from my cousin and it was just too good not to share…..edited.
A family is seated at the dinner table when the son asks his father,“Dad, how many kinds of boobs are there?”
The father was shocked but answered, “Well, son….there are 3. In her twenties, a woman’s breasts are […]
Studying new skills after Baby
Sunday, October 14th, 2007It has been an ongoing discussion with the Hubs, the subject of getting a maid. Whilst there are days where I feel that I really want one, the Hubs always manages to convince me otherwise. I tried convincing him that I can make more money if we got a maid but it isn’t about the money, […]
Hell hath no fury like a Mother scorned
Tuesday, October 9th, 2007Everyday after playschool, I pick Tee up and we go straight home for some quick grub, bath and nap. No questions. She has to be down by 2pm latest or we’d be partying to Lionel Ritchie’s all night long.
Today, for some obscure reason, she kicked up a big fuss about going straight home for lunch and insisted we […]
Love affair with all things sweet
Saturday, September 29th, 2007I think my mother felt a deep bitterness when I was born. As such, drank condensed milk whilst she was pregnant, and fed me everything sweet after. It could’ve been the perpetual PMS. She then says I lost ALL (well, most….) my teeth when I was three because it was her fault. And what does she do now? […]
How we control our monthly finances
Thursday, September 20th, 2007When I first started earning a salary in England, I used to control my finances by writing down everything I spent in a little 555 book. Remember those from the Roti man? I still write down what I spend today. But in a pocket diary/mini filofax. More glamour…… *smile*
However, with the evolvement of technology and the […]
Carousels in my head
Wednesday, August 1st, 2007I crawled to the gym in my sweatpants today and in fact, when my bag got caught in the grated drain, I was 90% ecstatic that I was ball-chained to the grills like a prisoner and wouldn’t be able to greet a treadmill this morning. Alas, I was fated to meet my friend there. A friend who would […]
Text Messages from Alor Setar
Friday, July 20th, 2007Husband: Darling! Guess what??? I finally sold my Porsche!!!
Wife: Great. Now you can buy me a new pair of glasses cuz’ I’ve just lost mine.
Husband: You don’t need a pair of new glasses. You need new EYES!!!
Wife: Oh…No wonder I’m with you.
Husband: (silence…..no more text messages throughout the day.)
Score: Men - 0 (nil) Women - […]
Mana Ada System delayed…..
Thursday, July 19th, 2007Post from Alor Setar: Yes, they have internet. Not only padi fields.
The Hubs has survived 13 successful hours with Tee alone today. Woot! Well done, Daddy!
However, he has another 7 to go and last I heard, she’d already started searching for her Mama.
But instead of another 7 hours………..she’s gonna have to wait longer. Maybe 10!!!
MANA ADA […]
I’m a Liar
Tuesday, July 17th, 2007Just in case you were wondering why I’m doing a blog marathon today when I’m supposed to be busy working, it is because I have already written these in the past but am posting them only today. OK?
I cannot stand to leave this blog for too long because I am narcissistic - a self loving, […]
Change is the only constant
Sunday, July 8th, 2007I used to work for a global conglomerate where change evolved every nanominute of my 16 hour day. If it wasn’t happening, something was wrong. We had to be on our toenails 24/7 and employees were stirred in a pressure cooker. A sure formula for raking in the moolah.
People used to say that if one could survive there, […]
