Friendship
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 […]
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 […]

How toddlers play
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008Have you ever wondered? Have you observed? They are the most interesting species, I’m telling you!
This is Tee at a friend’s place during a playgroup and I caught them doing this. Just what in the world are they doing? Bowing for forgiveness?
They looked like they were in some kind of spiritual trance…….
But the noise that […]
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 […]
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 […]
Making friends easily
Tuesday, October 14th, 2008I certainly don’t. But Tee does!
Tee and her new 8 year old Indonesian che-che friend in Orlando.
Tee can go up to any stranger (usually children, she’s not so interested in adults) and introduce herself. When we were in the States, she made at least 10 friends herself, just by asking them their name or […]
Accommodation in New York City
Thursday, August 21st, 2008In New York, we were lucky enough to stay at Tee’s Godfather’s apartment. He didn’t charge us. He wanted to but we told him that if he charged us, then we’d charge him back for seeing Tee.
Tee’s Godfather was the Hubs best man at our wedding. He is a very smart man. As our wedding […]
Respect for blogging moms who just want to earn an income
Friday, October 5th, 2007That’s right. I take my hat off to you. All of you out there who’re doing it.
I’ve only just started these last two months and it is darn difficult. Firstly, you have to be up till the wee hours of the morning to catch more opportunities of paid posts. If you’re not, the whole world […]
The art of sharing and giving without expectation
Friday, October 5th, 2007How often are we faced with decisions in life that make us think twice or thrice or for a very long time for that matter, before parting with something that matters to us? Be it knowledge, information, material goods or matters of the heart; we all make decisions that lead our lives into a particular […]
My first conference table jitters
Thursday, September 20th, 2007The big Petronas job. 20 leery fall guys. I thrashed them. Contract sealed. Headquarters were pleased.
My first brush with a boardroom was in KL. Then, at the inexperienced age of 25, I was merely a secondary contributor. I never would have imagined that one day I would sit at the Chair, control an audience and convince them […]
Losing a friend
Thursday, September 13th, 2007A subject I’m very familiar with.
Over the years I’ve lost a handful of friends which has saddened me to the hilt. For reasons unknown to me, they just disappeared out of my life, like dust in the wind.
When I was 21, my best friend at UCL killed herself. I didn’t stop crying for 2 whole years […]
Origins Facial and Saw Hair Salon
Saturday, August 18th, 2007Origins Complimentary Facial
Customer Service - 5/10
I was 10 minutes early and was told to go for a walk first. If my staff ever did that to a customer, I’d blacklist them. It was the perfect opportunity for the sales girls to show me their products in garnering some dollars out of me but instead, they preferred to chit […]
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 […]
Lovely Friend and Facials
Tuesday, July 17th, 2007I had lunch with a lovely friend today and she made my day with a complimentary facial! I mean, how sweet is that???
Ever since I became responsible for another being, I have been for a facial, once. Oh yes. That was free too, complimentary of the opening of a new spa that wanted to use […]
My kind of friends….
Tuesday, June 12th, 2007Since Tee started playschool, I have actually some time on my hands to make a few phone calls to old friends whom I have not seen since Tee was born, and time to actually meet them. I don’t know about other Moms but when Tee is within the same space as me, making even a 1 minutes […]
