Compulsory subjects for SPM
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 […]
A typical day with my four year old
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008Honestly? I don’t know how they do it. These supermoms abroad, the ones without any help. Not only abroad, there are many in KL too, but at least here there is an option if you can afford it. I have survived four tiring years with Tee without help and I am In. The. Zone.
FOUR YEARS!!! […]
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. […]

Even Razak Baginda says that he used to get hundreds of Hari Raya cards before his trial and during this hard time, he got about […]
What Agama teachers say to their students

I shan’t mention her school because I feel all schools have good and bad as […]
Developing an all rounded child
Tuesday, October 14th, 2008As new mothers, we often get a bit anal when it comes to selecting our child’s first preschool or nursery. I know I was!
When Tee was 2, I had already visited up to 15 preschools within the vicinity and found what I thought was the best playschool for her at the time. And it really […]
Bloody Bangsar parking meters
Tuesday, August 19th, 2008This morning was my first morning parking in Bangsar after a long time and I noticed that they now have new parking meters (oh crap! I should have taken a picture of it, just to show you as evidence!!!). Being the good citizen that I am, I went to get a ticket to put on […]
