Hiring a helper
Thursday, November 27th, 2008Today, I was dogged tired. So tired that I didn’t take Tee for any of her classes and didn’t care to help her with her toilet trips nor cook for her. I slept all day. Pretty much. I felt so bad but there really was nothing else I could do. My sinuses were killing me. […]
My definition of a productive day
Sunday, November 23rd, 2008I woke up at 845am on a Sunday morning. What??
Yes, it’s really me. Mamapumpkin on a Sunday morning. A changed person who no longer lies in till 11am. Get ready for the new me.
I managed to flip through 2 whole girly magazines(Female and Harper’s Bazaar, me time, yes! Me time!!!) before I got off my […]
My mother’s stupid helper
Monday, November 10th, 2008You know, I’ve heard a lot of stories about helpers and maids, whatever you want to call them, but I don’t think I have actually met a more stupid maid as the one working for my Mother. My mother has never screamed so much in her life and just recently, I too, started screaming. And […]
A battle of wills with my ‘almost’ four year old
Thursday, September 4th, 2008I keep calling her my ‘almost’ four year old because I am in denial. I don’t want a four year old. I want her to be three forever………………But.
I’ll have to face it sooner or later, as Tee races towards teen-hood and gives me the ride of my life. A bloody painful ride at that. God […]
Another reason why I don’t have a maid
Sunday, September 30th, 2007When we were in Australia, this maid complained that hoovering was too difficult. Especially with a hoover that keeps getting tangled in her little legs, was noisy and heavy. So her Nana got the little princess a new cordless hoover. See what happens when you give an inch to a maid?

They take a yard. This maid sits […]
Stay At Home Mom (SAHM) or Full Time Working Mom (FTWM)
Tuesday, July 17th, 2007Edited to add: What pisses me off is I’ve cut and paste from Lian’s site and now my font has gone all wonky. I cannot stand it. Does anyone know how to fix this? I am a designer and the following is blurring to my eyes!!!
**************************************************
I’ve been given some homework again by another teacher, Lian, who offers Moms […]
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, […]
An absolutely rotten day
Tuesday, July 3rd, 2007I looked at my watch. Did I see correctly? It has been 40 minutes since they made that blasted announcement that the MAS plane to XXX was delayed. There was no way I was going to make the meeting in time so I called to make arrangements for them to start without me.
Not only are the […]
Why I don’t have a maid
Saturday, May 19th, 2007Having a maid (full-time or part-time) in KL as a Mother is like wearing underwear. Everyone has them, they get changed often and only a select few choose not to have any.
I am one such Mom (err…the maid part, not the underwear).
I have never had a maid. Having a maid would make me lose control […]
