Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008SPM is the not so equivalent of O-Levels here in Malaysia. The Hubs and I have been in serious discussion over Tee’s educational route. We are lucky enough to have options but naturally, all options have their strengths and weaknesses. So whilst researching the SPM, I found out that Moral is a compulsory subject […]
High water bill this month
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008Being a full time stay at home Mom can really drive you insane. Take it from me. I swear upon it.
Today, I left the kettle to fill in the sink and came out to the living room to continue playing with Tee. Funnily, whilst we were playing for half an hour, I kept looking at […]
What say you???
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008Let’s just say, you are very close family friends with President Obama’s wife but nobody knows that. You choose not to tell anyone because you not only fear your own safety but want to keep social climbers at bay. So you keep your close friendship a secret, so to say.
Then one day, someone says something […]
Getting sick from the rain
Thursday, November 20th, 2008I chose to tempt fate yesterday. I don’t know why I do what I do sometimes.
It is a known fact tried and tested many a time, that whenever I get caught in the rain, even if it is the slightest drizzle, I will catch a cold and fall ill. TRIED and TESTED in many variations […]
What Agama teachers say to their students
Thursday, November 20th, 2008Recently, my 14 year old cousin told me of just 2 incidents where her Agama teacher (Religious teacher: she is Muslim, you see, so forced to take Agama classes in school) said things to her that were just totally absurd. I shan’t mention her school because I feel all schools have good and bad as […]
Asking for favours
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008Where do you draw the line in asking someone for a favour?
I am generally ok with people asking me DIRECTLY to babysit, do some free work for them, water their plants whilst they are on holiday, run an errand for them or pick their kid up from school. Ask me and I will tell you […]
Tee’s boring playdate
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008A friend of mine needed some babysitting today so I welcomed her girl to come over to play with Tee.Tee was initially very excited asking every five minutes if she was on the way but things very soon changed when she arrived.
For the first hour of the morning, the little girl was whining and asking […]
Telling secrets at school
Saturday, November 15th, 2008Today, Tee’s teacher told me that she complained that she was really frustrated because her Mom made her do maths which she didn’t like. She said it was too difficult and she felt very frustrated! Then she said she was also bored of her Mother because her Mother talked too much all the time. o_o
Just […]
My daughter makes me crazy…..
Saturday, November 15th, 2008When I complain to Tee that she never listens to me, her MOTHER, she says,
“Mom! Can you see that I am not an elephant??? I don’t have BIG EARS!!!”
When she eventually says that she DOES listen, then I say, ok she listens, but nothing ever seems to sink in!!!
And she says,
“Mom, there is something stuck […]
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 […]
My daughter made me cry today….
Thursday, November 13th, 2008We had just finished classes and it was raining. Tee reminded me that it was HER TURN to listen to HER MUSIC in the car so I turned her CD on which immediately sounded out some high pitched screeching chipmunks attempting to ’sing’ the It’s A Small World song.
“Hey Mom!! Remember I went to Disneyland […]
Misplaced and lost items of great value
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008We have lost Tee’s birth certificate. Somehow somewhere, we just can’t find it. I have been told that we can always go and get a duplicate copy, but a duplicate copy is a copy, isn’t it? Does it matter? Can someone shed some light on this?
Another thing that has gone missing for months now is […]
Suffering from Psoriasis
Monday, November 10th, 2008I was recently told by my dermatologist that I suffer from Psoriasis.
Soraya - what??!! Before then, I’d never even heard of the word. Now that I have, every thing that is wrong with my body is coming together and it all makes sense.
I have stress induced incurable psoriasis.
What I thought was persistent dandruff is in […]
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 […]
Our co-sleeping journey……
Saturday, October 18th, 2008Why is it that children like sleeping with their parents? I don’t remember ever sleeping with a parent (but hey, that could be due to severe failed memory loss). I certainly don’t wish to sleep with my parents now. *cringe*
It really is a dependency, isn’t it? I suppose it is much nicer sleeping with someone […]
The fascination for Mr Men and Little Miss - Roger Hargreaves
Monday, October 6th, 2008Yes, Roger Hargreaves - damn you!
Tee has been loving Mr Men and Little Miss books of late and I hate them. I hate them because they are so bloody long and when she needs to go to bed really quickly (like when we’ve had a long day and we’ve passed her bedtime), the Mr Men […]
Choosing glasses at the opticians a lot lately…..
Friday, October 3rd, 2008I’m bored of my frameless glasses and I don’t wear contacts because I am just too darn lazy. So how? I’m planning to go back to my librarian look, the black framed bookworm look
Unfortunately, my nose is too flat to hold plastic frames without the nose supports, unlike metal frames so what do […]
How to prevent weak lungs
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008Stop drinking cold drinks. STOP. Stay away from smokers. Stay indoors. Start swimming regularly. Move to a cleaner country. Start eating healthy. Try eating a live newborn mouse or dried crocodile’s tongue. Something like that.
You see, I never did any of the above, thus I have weak lungs. Weak lungs mean, that every instant in […]
