Wednesday, May 20th, 2009Well, firstly……it helps that both her parents are creative architects although not only architects are creative (and some not at all!!!) but if at least one parent is creative, your child has a good chance of being creative. But fret not, because creativity can be TAUGHT!!!
Yes, bet you didn’t know that!
Of course, we didn’t [...]
Tee staying back at school
Thursday, May 14th, 2009Tee has recently asked to stay back in school for after school activities. What happened to Mama time? Am I THAT boring? *sigh*
My girl is really growing up and the school doesn’t help as they shower her with so much love and attention and FUN. She loves her teachers. She loves school. She has never [...]
Pampering your child early
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009Most people would think this is a bad idea from the onset. I certainly did. But my masseuse told me it was good to show children the nice things in life so that they will have a taste of the good life and then will be forced to work for it, or at least they [...]
A glorious Mother’s Day
Sunday, May 10th, 2009To all the wonderful Mothers in the world out there, and that includes YOU!!!
I woke up to 400 emails this morning - all SPAM!!!
That is because I haven’t had time yet to install the anti-spam softwares into all my blogs. I haven’t even had time to UPDATE all my blogs, so ambitious, hahahaha……
Bad news? The [...]
The benefits of Tee reading early
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009Oh, how she is going to hate me one day!!!
Gone are the days of me having to read to Tee whilst she takes a poop. Yay!!!
Now, I can actually have up to 30 minutes of FREE TIME in TOTAL SILENCE!!!! Whenever she takes a poop, that is……it is so liberating that my four year old [...]
My Breastfeeding Nightmare!
Saturday, May 2nd, 2009I’m posting this from sheer inspiration that I’d want to breastfeed this new baby for a much longer time than I did Tee.
When I was pregnant last, I had already decided that Tee was going to be breastfed. For at least a year. The reasons were obvious. After much reading and research, it was clear [...]
Child Care Options in Malaysia
Thursday, April 30th, 2009There is hardly any, is there? Not one of quality that I would really trust my kid with in their hands? What would you pay for the perfect child care for your kids?
Not everyone have parents and in-laws to help take care of the kids, which is what many Malaysians do, with the help of [...]
Mommy!!! I’m SO BORED!!!
Wednesday, April 15th, 2009“Mommy, I’m SO BORED!!! Look up my nostrils, do you see a forest?”
Whilst driving home from Music School today, Tee whined about her boredom in the car. No Shit Sherlock, this girl needs to be entertained 24/7 round the clock! What does she think I am, Stanley the Clown on caffeine with Energizer batteries?
I told [...]
Too tired to cook
Monday, April 13th, 2009Whenever I’m too tired to cook, like today, I whipped up a simple and quick lunch that Tee and I both love. The Hubs doesn’t because he has more gourmet taste buds but he isn’t around for lunch.
I fried some sardines with onions and blanched some green vegetables and boiled some rice. Voila! For myself, [...]
Happy Easter!
Sunday, April 12th, 2009You may or may not know it but Easter is the most significant celebration in the Christian calendar! We brought Tee to an Easter party this morning although naughty Mommy hadn’t registered her earlier for it, banking on last minute luck. Thankfully, we had it and God was kind to us so in she went [...]
Remembering school days
Friday, April 10th, 2009I’m sure other Moms experience this problem too, remembering school days and which day is for what. Tee has swimming every Thursday, which means that we have to send her swimming gear in with a towel and a change of clothes. On Fridays, she has to wear her school T-shirt. Well, guess what? I FORGET!!!
Sometimes [...]
Louis Vuitton visit
Thursday, April 9th, 2009My Mom wants to go to LV tomorrow to make a complaint. We are going with her just because Friday is our day together. This is very, very dangerous. The Hubs has ordered me to leave all credit cards at home.
I have always liked the Neverfull bag. I don’t even know why but everytime I [...]
The love of my life
Thursday, April 9th, 2009This is me and my beloved daughter, Tee.
We are the best of friends. My daughter and I, are also so alike in so many ways. We are both very positive people, bubbly and happy and know how to see the lighter side of things. She is also very focused when she wants to be and [...]
Tee’s fun playgroup
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009Although it isn’t the school holidays, Tee was invited to a playgroup today together with her boyfriend to an old friend’s house, which has a basement parking lot and land enough to fill two football fields, and this isn’t including the existing mansion already on the land!
The kids had English fish and chips using beer [...]
Large pregnant body with fashionista daughter
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009The hubs could never be a photographer. This photo not only disproportions my large pregnant body making it look worse than it actually is, but it is also blur!!!
Anyway, can you see how big my boobs are? They are size E, no kidding. I had to go specially to Marks and Spencers to get new [...]
All in a day’s work - pregnancy woes
Tuesday, March 31st, 2009Actually, this happens to me whether or not I’m pregnant. It’s a symptom of lack of brain activity.
Yesterday, I woke up extra early to switch the crock pot on to boil some soup. 2 hours later, I went to check on it and the blasted pot was cold! I thought it had spoilt or something [...]
Early morning argument
Sunday, March 29th, 2009On our way out to a party this morning, we all agreed that Tee would wear her pretty red and white floral dress. Then I asked if she wanted to wear her Mary-Janes? She said yes so I told her to pick out some red socks or some white socks or red and white would [...]
Birthday marathon week
Thursday, March 19th, 2009This year, just before my birthday arrived, I was thinking…..F#%@. My birthday is coming and it’s school holiday time. That means instead of having the day or week off, I have to work doubly hard, which is moving more places carrying a heavy Sony idiot box strapped to my belly and threatening my brain cells [...]
My poor little sick puppy
Tuesday, January 27th, 2009Just before we left for Kota Bharu, Tee fell really ill with a stomach flu. She ran to us early one morning with her hands cupped below her chin and puked all over the bed, to which the Hubs and I jumped out of bed and rushed her to the bathroom leaving a trail of [...]
Pregnancy woes
Wednesday, January 7th, 2009Pregnancy and I? We’re not good friends. After week 5, we became even more suspect of each other. And now, we’re on the throngs of becoming enemies.
Urgh…………………………..
I am so nauseous……………………………..
I feel like a whale. I feel like the ocean and the nausea comes in waves. Sometimes they’re tidal waves. I cannot function. I have headaches. [...]
I got knocked up by a Stallion
Thursday, December 25th, 2008Hence the reason for your loss my absence. Not that anyone noticed! But yeah, I’ve been missing in action because I’ve simply been perfecting my yawns for the mega yawn competition next August. The Hubs admitted that his boys finally stopped to ask for directions. Whaddya know?! I always knew it wasn’t me!! It was [...]
A typical day with my four year old
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008Honestly? I don’t know how they do it. These supermoms abroad, the ones without any help. Not only abroad, there are many in KL too, but at least here there is an option if you can afford it. I have survived four tiring years with Tee without help and I am In. The. Zone.
FOUR YEARS!!! [...]
Daddy, my lovely Daddy…..
Tuesday, November 25th, 2008Tee and her father, they have this wonderful relationship which is completely separate from mine with her. I am the mother. I shower her with love and attention, abundantly. I shower her with scoldings and naggings, just as opulently. But when push comes to shove, it is always, always the mother that children come back [...]
Tee’s boring playdate
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008A 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 [...]
My daughter makes me crazy…..
Saturday, November 15th, 2008When I complain to Tee that she never listens to me, her MOTHER, she says,
“Mom! Can you see that I am not an elephant??? I don’t have BIG EARS!!!”
When she eventually says that she DOES listen, then I say, ok she listens, but nothing ever seems to sink in!!!
And she says,
“Mom, there is something stuck [...]
