« Previous EntriesDaniel Craig in Quantum of Solace 007
Monday, November 17th, 2008I love Hollywood flicks as much as I love the deeper British productions because I love analysing creativity. Taking apart entire finished products and criticising them is what I was taught to do at University.
Quantum of Solace
The music at the beginning was already weak and that put me off - not catchy, not zany, not […]
Christmas at Bangsar Village
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008Last year, Bangsar Village had jigsaw horse painting as part of their Christmas activities and Tee insisted she wanted to paint the big horse so we paid and allowed her. It was a pretty cool concept.
Tee at three years old. Oh, how my girl is growing up *sob*
I wonder what they will come up […]
Educating a four year old who is school-less
Thursday, October 30th, 2008Well, first of all, I attended a performance this evening at the Malaysian Philharmonic Orchestra. An Italian ensemble of strings and a harpsichord. Have you ever, EVER seen a life harpsichord being played? Not I. In fact, I’ll bet that 80% of the Malaysian population not know what a harpsichord is.
Anyway, we had those boxed […]
Liquid Nitrogen and Frozen Avocado Beads
Saturday, August 30th, 2008What happens when you have minus 196 degrees Celsius of liquid Nitrogen smoking in a pot? You do NOT touch it. If you do, you can start filling up the form to join the Fingerless Anonymous Society.
What happens when you squirt little droplets of mashed avocado through a plastic bottle into the liquid Nitrogen? Your […]
Cheap groceries in Kuala Lumpur
Sunday, August 24th, 2008Or so I thought!!!
I arrived at Tesco Mutiara Damansara today at noon, ALONE (the Hubs had taken Tee for a movie) with a mission to fill up my kitchen with value for money food for the week. We don’t usually shop there but in attempt to cut cost, I braved the trip all by myself. […]
Selecting accommodation when visiting Disney World and Universal Studios
Friday, August 22nd, 2008How did we choose where to stay when we went? For us it was simple. We were going to get a discount from a family member, so it was either Hotel A or Hotel B, so we chose the better of the two. But otherwise, how would you choose where to stay when in Orlando?
Talk […]
Accommodation in New York City
Thursday, August 21st, 2008In New York, we were lucky enough to stay at Tee’s Godfather’s apartment. He didn’t charge us. He wanted to but we told him that if he charged us, then we’d charge him back for seeing Tee.
Tee’s Godfather was the Hubs best man at our wedding. He is a very smart man. As our wedding […]
Who’s going to the Disney Show this weekend?
Tuesday, April 1st, 2008Tee’s school approached the Moms last week to introduce the latest Disney show to us showing in town this weekend. The last show Tee went to was the Disney Magic Live show in Bukit Jalil but she didn’t like that very much because she actually found the princesses quite frightening! It was their plastic made […]
A visit to the fire station

My little firegirl

Pulling the hose and getting splashed at the same time….

Terrified inside a fire truck

Fire truck demonstration

See how high the ladder goes!!!

Tee went on field trip to the fire station and I went along as a parent volunteer. It was hot as hell and I filled 10 buckets with sweat. That night, I had severe cramping […]
The reason for Dubai
Friday, February 22nd, 2008Because I have friends all over the world, I have made promises to them that I will indeed pay a visit to them one day. We are starting this year with friends in New York, then making our way to Sweden. Then look at some Dubai Properties. Although we have lots of friends in London, […]
Nazi soldier hat
Friday, February 15th, 2008Actually, it is an old antique British soldier’s hat from during the war. And it weighs a ton. Carry three bricks. That’s what it weighs. That’s why you can see the Hubs’ hand holding it up on the right. Or it would have been way too heavy for Tee’s head. A bullet wouldn’t be able […]
Penelope, the movie - Christina Ricci and Reese Witherspoon
Monday, February 11th, 2008The Hubs and I are planning to watch a movie soon as I got a free movie ticket from Times Book Store the other day at Pavillion. We watch movies at the cinema less than a handful of times annually. *sigh* Furthermore, we can never agree on what to watch as we have completely different […]
Malaysia’s unfair system
Saturday, February 9th, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I love my country, don’t get me wrong. We have the best food, the best beaches, the best people (ahem)………..heck, what more would you need?! But something niggles at me all the time.
It’s the fact that a certain race, only that race, within the country have added benefits in living here, OUR country, such as discounts […]
The return of Sheila Majid
Friday, February 1st, 2008It is now 2.43am and I’ve just returned from a fabulous Sheila Majid concert at the KLCC convention center attended by Tun Dr Mahathir. He and wifey stayed throughout the whole concert despite how late it was and bless his heart, the old man gave her a standing ovation. He is looking strong and well.
Sheila […]
Arrowhead chips
Thursday, January 31st, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I’m addicted to the stuff. A dear friend gave me a bottle of what I perceived to be potato chips and I thought, oh no, I don’t like potato chips. Then Tee wanted some and I tried one. Then two, then three, then four, then five. Damn! The stuff is addictive! And before I knew […]
Book Review - Just One More Day by Susan Lewis
Saturday, January 19th, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The ony reason I attempted to read this book (lent to me by my dearest Italian friend in London whom I dearly miss) was because my Mom has cancer and this book was about a little 7 year old girl who loses her mom to cancer. I guess I wanted to learn what it would […]
The definition of guilt
Sunday, January 6th, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I stepped into the raved about Pavillion finally today. It is a newer Mid Valley City with 2 levels of high end designer stores and better finishes. And they have a super cool food court (owned by Singaporeans) that beats KLCC’s flat. Shame on KLCC.
I wanted to experience what it was like to queue for JCo […]
Us luxuriating at the Four Seasons Chiangmai (part 2)
Friday, January 4th, 2008Thailand is the land of Elephants - External lobby at the Four Seasons.
.
The resort gave a set of blocks to Tee to keep occupied.
.
No, it wasn’t meant for us to bring home.
.
The masterpiece…..

A refreshing drink - did you know that almost everywhere we went in Chiangmai, they served pandan water? Normal drinking water is always boiled with […]
