    Compulsory subjects for SPM

    Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

    SPM 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 […]

    Mamapumpkin’s Left Foot - Specimen A

    Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

    A - 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 […]

    High water bill this month

    Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008

    Being a full time stay at home Mom can really drive you insane. Take it from me. I swear upon it.
    Today, I left the kettle to fill in the sink and came out to the living room to continue playing with Tee. Funnily, whilst we were playing for half an hour, I kept looking at […]

    This is what Tee and her Nana do at parties…

    Monday, December 1st, 2008

    For logistical reasons, I drove my Mom and Tee to the party that was held at a public venue. And because it was a thunderstorm, we were instructed by phone to park right in front. But when we did with my humble Japanese car, the security came up very quickly to chase us off.
    “Excuse me, […]

    Hiring a helper

    Thursday, November 27th, 2008

    Today, 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. […]

    A great way to celebrate your birthday!!!

    Sunday, November 23rd, 2008

    This 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 […]

    Post gone MIA

    Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

    For the longest time, I hadn’t been lucky enough to get some BGTV offers and suddenly, I got some yesterday. Thank you, God!! So today, I was busy making online sandwiches but funnily, the last filling lost it’s top layer of sandwich which was really, really strange!!! I went to my friend’s house and checked […]

    Tee’s boring playdate

    Wednesday, November 19th, 2008

    A friend of mine needed some babysitting today so I welcomed her girl to come over to play with Tee.Tee was initially very excited asking every five minutes if she was on the way but things very soon changed when she arrived.

    For the first hour of the morning, the little girl was whining and asking […]

    I fell in love last night……

    Saturday, November 15th, 2008

    I was with the Hubs on a date at a high end location and my attention all night (sad to say) was not on him. Don’t get me wrong, I love the Hubs more than anything else in the world, but there, right in front of me, amidst fabulous food and gay men, were the […]

    The Best Fat Burner

    Thursday, November 13th, 2008

    For the longest time (we’re talking 10 years thereabouts?), my Mom has been harping on about my weight. Just because she is slim, she expects me to be too, and doesn’t have an inkling that I have a hormonal problem. She keeps swearing upon her last bottom dollar that the best fat burner would be […]

    How people end up at my blog

    Tuesday, November 11th, 2008

    1. When I tell them
    2. By chance
    3. Through a Google search
    Today, something popped out at me when I checked my blog stats. Someone typed “Mother made her daughter fuck her” and ended up here.
    Now, that is freaking scary…….
    Just for the record, Mr Google, this blog couldn’t be further from that, so kindly not send such […]

    Children’s Birthday Parties

    Monday, November 10th, 2008

    Just for the record, I have attended close to 30 birthday parties this year and just last weekend, had FOUR. You do the math.
    I’m just saying……
    It’s really quite ridiculous.

    Putting a four year old down to bed

    Monday, November 10th, 2008

    Is like me losing 20 kilos this year *stoned look*
    Last week, Tee missed ALL her classes because Mommy was too tired to drive the Mommy Taxi. Mommy has been busy sorting out other people’s problems and it is tiring. Naturally, the knock-on effect to this is that Tee now sleeps at midnight (when she used […]

    My mother’s stupid helper

    Monday, November 10th, 2008

    You 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 […]

    Hiring a helper for my own sanity

    Thursday, October 30th, 2008

    I’m 80% sure that by the end of this year, I’ll be filling in forms to hire a helper for the Lee Household. I’ve taken care of Tee single-handedly for a whole four years and feel that it is time. Despite the Hubs’s severe need for privacy around the home and despite his ache in […]

    Why I am always stressed out

    Sunday, October 19th, 2008

    .

    .

    Tee barely ONE YEAR OLD eating pasta.
    .

    Licks her bowl clean like a dog….
    .
    .

    Then pours everything else out onto ground, table, clothes, everywhere. She then rubs her hair into the pasta pretending they’re beads and thinks it’s funny.
    NUFF SAID.
    .
    And I haven’t even shown you the end result.

    Our co-sleeping journey……

    Saturday, October 18th, 2008

    Why is it that children like sleeping with their parents? I don’t remember ever sleeping with a parent (but hey, that could be due to severe failed memory loss). I certainly don’t wish to sleep with my parents now. *cringe*
    It really is a dependency, isn’t it? I suppose it is much nicer sleeping with someone […]

    The fascination for Mr Men and Little Miss - Roger Hargreaves

    Monday, October 6th, 2008

    Yes, Roger Hargreaves - damn you!
    Tee has been loving Mr Men and Little Miss books of late and I hate them. I hate them because they are so bloody long and when she needs to go to bed really quickly (like when we’ve had a long day and we’ve passed her bedtime), the Mr Men […]
