Our crazy life day to day...
« Previous EntriesEarly morning rant
Tuesday, March 9th, 2010Last night, I told my helper to deep fry half a packet of baby anchovies so that Tee could snack on them. She loves eating fried anchovies as they are salty and since she gets some form of calcium from them, I allow it. When I woke up this morning, there were two huge mountains [...]
And we’re all sick!
Friday, March 5th, 2010Spent RM180 at T2’s Doctor today for antibiotics yadayada. My baby has bronchitis and if I hadn’t seen him today, it could have very quickly turned into pneumonia. I, myself, went to see a Doctor this evening, another RM60 but wasn’t prescribed antibiotics because I am breastfeeding. The reason I saw the Doctor was because [...]
Daily jog
Thursday, February 18th, 2010My in laws have this looooong driveway that calls out to me every morning at 6am to get my butt downstairs and move back and forth on it for a good 60 minutes. I carried my sneakers all the way to Kota Bharu and all the way back and only used it once. Why? T2 [...]
How to shut a kid up on a plane
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Whilst we’re on the roll on planes and chatty chicks, I thought I’d share how we managed T2’s first plane ride ever. Tee had her 1st plane ride when she was 4 months old. She has traveled more places now than I ever had before I was 30 and that’s really saying something. She was [...]
Happy Chinese New Year!!!
Wednesday, February 17th, 2010Gong Xi Fa Cai!! Xin Nian Kuai Le!! Sorry we’re late! But man……it’s been B.U.S.Y. I thought 2010 was supposed to be an easy, good year but for the first 6 weeks up to now, I haven’t had a single break! It’s been go, go, go…and I suppose I should look on the bright side [...]
Stress reduces breastmilk production
Tuesday, February 9th, 2010Although my girls look happy, their Mother has been perpetually stressed for the last month. I don’t know what or why but I know I am always on edge. The slightest thing sets me off into a blazing dragon spewing lethal fire upon anyone who crosses my path.
So why have I been stressed?
Number One: What [...]
That horrible old man at Malaysian Immigration
Monday, February 8th, 20106th February 2010 - Saturday morning, 7.50am at the lobby of Damansara Immigration at the information counter.
He was in his 50s, had white hair, short and a moustache. Wore glasses. Was grumpy as hell. I didn’t get his name because he refused to give it to me. I even asked that he show me his [...]
Car racing at BSC
Saturday, February 6th, 2010When my cousins were here from Australia, we spent 2 weeks taking them everywhere! We were out of the house by 8am most days and back by 10pm most nights. The group comprised a father and his 2 sons who were interested in seeing KL, doing activities and eating. The mother however, was only interested [...]
It’s already February???!!!
Friday, February 5th, 2010Where did January go?! Oh, I had relatives over staying with me from Australia. I forgot. I was tour guide for 2 weeks with a very exhausted but excited Tee in tow and an even more exhausted baby. Exhausted baby means CRANKEEEEEEE!!!!! To the point that I couldn’t believe such a monstrosity actually came out [...]
How to fit into a cheongsam
Friday, February 5th, 2010In a desperate attempt to shape up before we fly back to Kota Bharu next week, I have been kicking myself out of bed at 7.45am every morning and rushing T2 and myself to exercise class every single morning! This usually leaves me lobster red faced (and achy everywhere) but man, it feels sooooooo good [...]
Protected: The disappearance of Jalan WSH
Friday, January 22nd, 2010There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
16 days past new year
Saturday, January 16th, 2010I just finished a long, looooonnnggggg……. post but T2 kicked the keyboard and POOFFFFF! Everything. EVERYTHING….disappeared before my eyes.
*holds arms out towards sky looking up*
After several attempts at furiously pressing the UNDO button like my hand’s had an epileptic fit, the PC stared back and lamented in it’s robotic, monosyllable tone….geeeeevvvvvv uuuupppp.
Amen.
I have a serious [...]
Well, HELLO Twenty Ten!
Saturday, January 9th, 2010Where do I start?
*taps fingers*
When was the last time I was online?
*scratches head*
OK, let’s just do some random updates.
Tee started school on a great footing. I’m pretty sure she’ll be teacher’s pet soon. She was the only kid on the first day at school who did not have anyone accompany her (because we were too [...]
Our Christmas Presents
Sunday, December 27th, 2009This year, due to the fact that we only had a very small family gathering, the presents got bigger! Well, that’s my automatic assumption although I did spend a few thousand still. *sigh* It all just adds up even if you buy people RM10 presents! That’s the disadvantage of knowing too many people and having [...]
I’m late…….
Sunday, December 27th, 2009*gulp*
Not with my period.
I’m late in wishing you a very Merry Christmas!
MERRY BELATED CHRISTMAS!!!
Well, was it merry???
The reason I’ve been MIA is because I couldn’t login into my own blog these past 2 weeks. I’d contacted my web host etc etc etc and to cut a long story short, it turns out Mozilla Firefox has [...]
4 month old baby with cough
Friday, December 11th, 2009I am wondering now the overrated-ness of exclusively breastfeeding. Because T2 started having a dry cough which has now turned into a wet cough. She is unwell, no fever, but clearly cranky. She wants the boob all day and wants only to be held. She is usually an independent lass.
Tee hardly had any breast milk [...]
The onset of 2012
Wednesday, December 9th, 2009I’m not sure if the moon location is out of sync but lately, I have been extremely stressed and moody. And it turns out that many of my friends are having bad days too! It MUST have something to do with the constellation and the universe and the moon….
Yesterday, I braved taking the girls for [...]
The advantages of sleep training your child
Monday, December 7th, 2009Now that my dearest 5 year old is sleep trained (I highly recommend it to all you mother’s out there who feel like you spend way too much time putting your little ones to sleep), I am now less stressed as I get to have a few extra hours of ‘me’ time or husband and [...]
Missing in Action
Sunday, December 6th, 2009Because now that the girls sleep by 9pm, the Hubs and I watch a movie every single night - YAY! So far we’ve watched Taken, Surrogate and Echelon ??? - Bye now…..movie time :-)))))))))))

Too many emails
Sunday, November 29th, 2009Dear Mamapumpkin readers,
Thank you for reading my blog every day, every other day, every week, every month and every so often when you do come to check on me. Thank you sincerely.
Whilst it would be my dream to respond to each and every email and comment that comes in as a result of this blog, [...]
Fitness Concept Treadmill
Saturday, November 28th, 2009I’ve been trying very hard to get on my treadmill every moment after T2 falls asleep but it’s only happened twice so far because for some reason, if I’m not sleeping with her, she wakes up after a bit. *sigh*
2 weeks ago, my treadmill died on me. It just stopped. My first thought was my [...]
Godiva in Malaysia
Thursday, November 26th, 2009If you don’t already know, GODIVA has reached our shores……the shores of KLCC beside Harrods on the 1st floor. The first time I ever had Godiva was when my mother in law handed me a piece - a single, miserable piece of chocolate jewel that I treasured with every drop of saliva and didn’t dare [...]
Frustrations of a Stay at Home Mom
Wednesday, November 25th, 2009I know the grass is always greener but today, I had one of those days. Yes, THOSE days. You know, those days when you just want to scream out loud in an open stadium? Those days when you just want to smash everything breakable in sight? Those days when you just feel like eating the [...]
Piano concert
Tuesday, November 24th, 200911am - all dressed for her first piano concert and ready to leave the door.
.
Stopped for a picture with the pretty Christmas Tree.
.
So the day finally arrived after weeks of me questioning Tee’s piano teacher suspiciously, “Are you SURE she can play for a concert? Are you SURE she’s ready? Are you SURE you want [...]
Burned Out
Tuesday, November 24th, 2009And it’s only Day Two of the school holidays…….HELP!!!
