    Nightmare at Malaysian Immigration

    Sunday, February 7th, 2010

    We just discovered recently that we were unable to book an air ticket for T2 without a passport. Why does anyone need a passport in order to book a ticket? We are paying for the ticket after all, right? And on day of travel should we not have a passport by then, then just bar [...]

    Nine West wedges

    Sunday, December 27th, 2009

    I bought this gorgeously comfortable pair of wedges in November from Lot 10 whilst Tee was having her piano concert rehearsal that day. So much for being an impulse shopper. I loved it because it was quite unique in that the leather straps that went across the front continued all the way back to the [...]

    Bursting bubbles at Christmas

    Monday, December 14th, 2009

    Being 5 years old and crossing people who tell her time and time and again that there is no such thing as Santa Claus and that it is actually Mommy, Tee has started getting suspicious.
    ALREADY!
    What’s it with people wanting to burst my daughter’s bubble at Christmas? Just because THEY never got to enjoy Santa’s visits [...]

    There’s a Nu mall in town!

    Sunday, November 29th, 2009

    Yes, my shopaholic friends……KL Sentral is the location for the Nu mall whose tag line is If it isn’t Nu, it isn’t YOU. *puke*
    Now, I wouldn’t exactly call myself a retail specialist but I did work for a very experienced retail design firm in the past and I can tell you straight on that this [...]

    Helpers are human too

    Monday, November 16th, 2009

    I always try to put myself in my helper’s shoes whenever she does something to make me really angry. Like the other day, my instruction to her was that we were having Western for dinner. This means, she does not have to cook rice and to serve with a fork and knife, not fork and [...]

    Who the Hubs fell in love with….

    Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

    In 1998, we met…..
    In 1999, he proposed…..
    In 2000, I said yes……of course, I made him wait!!! What do you think? So easy?!
    In 2001, we got married……

    I was browsing my loaded with files laptop and found these post-wedding photos, hahaha….what a laugh I had. They must be the earliest photos I have that are digital. Don’t [...]

    Putting both feet into your own mouth

    Tuesday, October 27th, 2009

    I am well known for putting my foot into my own mouth very often and if you knew me really well, you’d know that. In fact, if you knew me really well, you’d be certain of how deep I could kick myself with my own foot sometimes but yet, you’d be forgiving. Because you’d know. [...]

    Oral thrush in newborns

    Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

    Look at my precious angel - do you think she deserves to suffer from oral thrush? What is that? It is when your newborn has little white polka dots all over her mouth inside, on the inside cheeks, on the tongue, on the inner lips…….
    One day, I noticed 2 white spots on T2’s tongue. I [...]

    Unusual discharge is never normal in pregnancy

    Monday, July 13th, 2009

    Following on from the period like cramps and ‘rainbow’ discharge, I called my Doctor after breakfast this morning whilst I was on my computer to inform her of my state of affairs. She was too busy with patients to come to the phone but the nurse got my message through and then ordered me to [...]

    Organising 1663 emails in my Inbox since 2005

    Saturday, June 27th, 2009

    Yikes! But it’s got to be done.
    That is my task for the day. My reward tonight would be watching The Good Body with some ladies who are mothers of Tee’s school friends. I was invited. I hardly ever invite because I can never get my act together soon enough and people always beat me to [...]

    Decorating a bathroom door

    Saturday, June 27th, 2009

    I am so mad at the Hubs. Once upon a time (we’re talking years here), I suggested that we painted our guest bathroom door on the inside because it was plain, white and boring. I wasn’t looking at painting it just one colour, no. I was looking at painting some abstract art onto it or [...]

    Aiyo! Aiyo! Aiyo!

    Friday, June 12th, 2009

    You see!!! This is what pregnancy does to you!!!
    I’ve ammended the recipe accordingly now
