Depression
Tee and perfume
Sunday, October 14th, 2007My lil girl’s sense of smell is very strong. Possibly because I allowed her to smell many things from a very young age. Broken leaves, the sea breeze, peppermint tea, vanilla pods, flower petals…….these were just some of the smells she sniffed as a young tot. Coke’s not on the list. I used to test […]
3 causes of death that will never be answered
Saturday, October 6th, 2007My best friend at Uni.
She had jumped off the 22nd floor of her father’s apartment without leaving a suicide note. She had called me the day before, from Singapore to London, to chat. The grief that I went through took a long time to heal and till today, a part of me is still missing. I […]

We’ll start with the lesser of evil.

After dropping […]

Here’s why.
6am at the airport: The models (secretly famine victims from Ethopia) dive in to McDonald’s meals (all of them) and not just 1 meal per model. On top of their value meals, they have side orders of extra hash browns, french fries and chocolate sundaes. I had a turkey ham sandwich from a […]
The perils of Asian pregnancy & after-birth superstitions
Friday, June 22nd, 2007Heave-Ho! Where do I start?
This tag came from The I’mPerfect Mom.
Living in Malaysia and coming from a half-Chinese family, I am grateful that I wasn’t subjected to the customary strict pregnancy and after-birth confinement rules since my own mother was a hot, modern Mama and the MIL was safely tucked away in Kota Bharu, Kelantan. My mother did have […]
When you hit rock bottom
Monday, June 4th, 2007I write this for the sake of those who are there right now. I’ve been there before. And everyone goes there at some point of their lives. Some visit several times over. It’s not a friendly place to be but we need to be there because we need something to compare to when we get […]
