My daughter made me cry today….
Thursday, November 13th, 2008We had just finished classes and it was raining. Tee reminded me that it was HER TURN to listen to HER MUSIC in the car so I turned her CD on which immediately sounded out some high pitched screeching chipmunks attempting to ’sing’ the It’s A Small World song.
“Hey Mom!! Remember I went to Disneyland […]
Suffering from Psoriasis
Monday, November 10th, 2008I was recently told by my dermatologist that I suffer from Psoriasis.
Soraya - what??!! Before then, I’d never even heard of the word. Now that I have, every thing that is wrong with my body is coming together and it all makes sense.
I have stress induced incurable psoriasis.
What I thought was persistent dandruff is in […]
How to prevent weak lungs
Wednesday, October 1st, 2008Stop drinking cold drinks. STOP. Stay away from smokers. Stay indoors. Start swimming regularly. Move to a cleaner country. Start eating healthy. Try eating a live newborn mouse or dried crocodile’s tongue. Something like that.
You see, I never did any of the above, thus I have weak lungs. Weak lungs mean, that every instant in […]
I have dandruff, I must be stressed!
Sunday, October 14th, 2007I have never had a probem with dandruff before and my only association with it is watching those local ads on TV that go “Eeeee…..Kelimumur!!” Do you remember those? The ones where the victims are always dressed in colours of death so you can clearly see white flakes all over their shoulders?
But recently, I’ve developed […]
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 […]
Architectural school project with teeth
Saturday, October 6th, 2007My final year project at the Bartlett involved tooth decay. Ewe…..!!! Yes, I know.
It was about reinstating an old dilapidated museum in New York called the New York Kunsthalle. The project started off with yet another abstract design brief that was open but related to what we were going through then. I remember having just had two […]
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 […]
Obesity and weight loss
Friday, October 5th, 2007Ever since I met the Hubs, my weight has been climbing a steep ladder, step by step, over the last ten years. It is discouraging to say the least but thankfully, I don’t feel the need to have the houston lapband just yet. I pray I never will.
However, for many people out there who have […]
I had Migraines for a whole year!
Saturday, September 29th, 20071996 London - I suffered from terrible migraines. I was a walking log, seeing floating spots, feeling hammers smashing my skull, yet numb on one side of my then slim body :-). Nothing made any sense. Sometimes different areas would hurt more and different areas would get numb, also in varying degrees.
It was very scary. […]
Talk about efficiency. Thank you, JoMel!
Monday, September 24th, 2007Since my last post about family insurance plans, the lovely JoMel has responded rather promptly and at length to my genuine query. Now I’m not so quick to commit myself into the Education/Insurance plan for Tee. But having said that, I do like the coverage for insurance that she’d get with it. I mean, you […]
Bad sinuses causes brain damage
Saturday, September 22nd, 2007In my case anyway….
I’ve suffered from chronic sinusitis for 20 years. It isn’t pleasant.
It’s a case of wet tissue balls by my bedside every single night, by the dozens. It means having a tissue plug up my nose for the most of my blogging time because as much as I blow my nose out, it drips. Even […]
Trouble with toddlers taking medicine
Thursday, August 16th, 2007Tee has always been one of those rare weird kids who loves brocolli and spinach, and everything else green and leafy. She is also the strange child who drinks tomato juice, green tea and unsweetened ’leong char’. And she LOVES medicine. Yes. While all our counterparts fight with their kids about meds, Tee gave it to […]

Blogivitis is the best disease of all my ailments
Wednesday, July 4th, 2007I owe Health Freak Mommy a tag. I am the great procastinator. I’ve been sick. How can I work???
Hatchiuuuuu!!! Sniff….sniff……I need some tissues. God, damn it! I hate my nose. *wheeze*
Right. Where were we….?
My other ailments include asthma, which I’ve attacked with some steroid inhalers but now there is the HAZE!!! (for stimulating your brain, if you […]
Saturday Morning at the Lee Household
Saturday, June 30th, 2007We went to renew our driver’s license this morning at the Post Office at Pusat Bandar Damansara. Clever Hubs selectively picked that post office because he knew it would be empty on a Saturday morning. We arrived at about 10.30am and it really WAS empty. So that took us 5 minutes. Paid RM304 for 2 […]
Flu ping pong
Monday, June 25th, 2007We’re experts here in the game.
Oh, how di…di….diiiiiiiifff……icultttt it is to be with a toddler when you have the flu……
To clean that bum when you’d rather be sleeping.
To bathe the naked teletubby when you’d rather be sleeping.
To cook not just nutritious chicken pumpkin (and coriander, onions, potato, ginger) soup and grilled fish and egg for meals, but […]
Baby Vicks
Friday, June 22nd, 2007A friend of mine introduced me to Baby Vicks. It comes with a pink cap and is made from strawberries (I think?). Anyway…
The Hubs has been coughing like he has TB (tubercolosis) and suddenly, all day yesterday, Tee started coughing.
Mummy went into panic mode.
Sick child I do not need.
I heard somewhere that to stop a […]
My old friend, Asthma, is visiting again.
Saturday, June 2nd, 2007I spent 3 hours at the hospital because it is the Malaysian King’s Birthday today, which means that none of the neighbourhood clinics are open. Just for the record, did you know that Malaysia is a country with one of the most public holidays in the world? Don’t people get sick on public holidays? Oh, how can […]
