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 […]
A great way to celebrate your birthday!!!
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008This is a true story.
When Tee’s Godpa in New York turned 40, he hired a Charter Bus Rental NYC for a whole 12 hours and invited all his friends in New York and from out of town to party ALL DAY and ALL NIGHT LONG on a sightseeing bus!!! There was more booze than you […]
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 […]
A Question for God
Thursday, October 23rd, 2008Just before bed tonight as usual, Tee said her prayers that included a long……………….list of thank you’s. It’s good, this thank you thing. It reinforces her gratitude for certain things in her life, like her wonderful Mommy and her best Daddy, ever.
Since her list was especially long tonight, I asked her if she wanted to […]
Children discovering things for themselves
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008Tee, my cheeky fairy princess…..
It is common knowledge that experts have always advised parents to leave their children alone during play to allow them to learn about the world themselves. For example, if you give your child a set of blocks, then let him play with it himself. Don’t offer suggestions of what to […]
Do not underestimate the power of a woman scorn!
Tuesday, September 16th, 2008Once upon a time, there were 2 famous Eurasian sisters - let’s call them the G-spot Sisters for the purpose of this story. The G-spot sisters were the talk of the town and had many men falling at their feet but only performed in other men’s fantasies. But for all their men glory, all they […]
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 […]
Showing bad examples to your children
Friday, August 29th, 2008This week has been flitting between very hot and very rainy, certainly a recipe for an oncoming cold. Yesterday, it was so hot that I took my top off at home and went about in just a bra. This is one of the real reasons why we have still not gotten a maid. We are […]
Why you should never pee in front of your almost four year old
Wednesday, August 27th, 2008Today, in front of 5 other women and 5 boisterous preschoolers who were releasing their pent up despair in the form of zooming past me at lightning speed flashes from left to right and right to left and sometimes, up and down; Tee suddenly stops in the very middle and asks me,
“Mommy, just now……. did […]
How to play a fun chain story game with children
Sunday, August 24th, 2008If you’d like to learn more fun games for children, or rather, more fun games to play with preschoolers, hop on to my other blog.
Today at dinner, we taught Tee how to play ‘create a story chain’ game. For those who suffered a deprived childhood, a story chain game is where one person starts a […]
What happens when you stay up till 4am blogging……
Saturday, August 23rd, 2008And then have to wake up at 8am to make your four year old milk:
You make her milk in your adult coffee cup and make your coffee in her baby cup. Aaaaaarrrrggghh!!!!!!
THEN.
You prepare her a waffle at superspeed because you just want to flop back into bed, but you throw the plate of waffle into […]
The great Orlando bank heist
Thursday, August 21st, 2008In Orlando whilst shopping, Tee wanted more toys but we told her we had run out of money. So she whined and whined and Daddy said we’d have to rob a bank before we can buy more stuff.
She said, “Let’s GO!” and pulled a shirt over her head, all ready to go rob a bank.
Like […]
On crystals again, the fat losing kind…
Monday, October 15th, 2007YES!!!!
There is such a thing!!!!
Well, it’s probably not as absurd as it sounds. It probably has some energy thing that increases your metabolism or something which in turn makes you kinda lose weight. Capiche?
Anyway, my mother, who loves me so much and has so much faith in me losing weight, bought me two ‘lose-weight’ crystal […]

MAMEEEEEE!!!!! I KILLED IT!!!!!
Friday, October 12th, 2007A couple of days ago, we went shopping for a new little Baju Kebaya (Malay costume worn on Muslim celebrations). Few reasons : Tee was having a Hari Raya Aidilfitri party at school, we were going Raya visiting this weekend, my parents are Muslims, she loves dressing up even if it’s a potato sack over her head, and […]
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 […]
