The Hubs

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009This pregnancy, the Hubs has been very lazy. He hasn’t been out ONCE to satisfy my pregnancy cravings, mostly because I was vomiting so badly at the beginning and then didn’t really have cravings that sent me into murdering zones, and now he just takes for granted that I DO NOT have any cravings.
I can [...]
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 [...]
How we got Tee to help us clean our bedroom
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009Last weekend, the Hubs and I had a mission to give our bedroom a BIG spring clean. This meant hoovering the entire bedroom from ceiling to floor, to picture rails to the back of pictures, to curtain rails to fans and lights, to the backs of furniture to cupboard grooves and surfaces. It also meant [...]
Sheer joy
Tuesday, May 5th, 2009…….is when you wake up in the morning to a quiet home, walk into the kitchen and breakfast is already laid out for you with a hot pot of freshly brewed real coffee from freshly grounded coffee beans. Now, where else would you find a husband like that???

How to watch Formula One when your kid wants to watch Barney
Friday, May 1st, 2009If there is one indulgence that the Hubs MUST have, it’s his fortnightly viewing of the Formula One. Before I met him, I didn’t even know what Formula One was. Now I know a little, but since Michael Schumacher retired, I’ve lost interest. Jensen Button is cute though.
Tee and the Hubs used to have these [...]
Who do you think Tee gets her brains from?
Thursday, April 30th, 2009Many people commend me on the way that I bring Tee up because she is doing so well as a kid but seriously, little do they know that I am a lazy ass mother. It is sheer luck that I have been blessed with a daughter who can hold her own and is resourceful enough [...]
How to get out of the red
Wednesday, April 22nd, 2009A blog commenter has interestingly asked me for my secret of getting out of the red so kindly allow me to share.
When I impulsively quit my job many yonks ago, we lost a huge chunk of income coming into our household and very quickly, I was digging into my savings and before I knew it, [...]

Sharp LCD TV versus SONY
Sunday, April 12th, 2009The Hubs has been looking to get a 40 inch LCD screen for our bedroom but he’s stuck on what brand to get. Do any of you have LCD TV screens at home? We went to SONY today and they were having a good promotion where you pay RM4,600 for a surround sound system and [...]
Daddies and their darling daughters
Thursday, April 9th, 2009Despite the fact that Daddy is really strict with Tee, she still loves him to absolute bits. They have this strange love-hate relationship because they are so alike in so many ways. For one, they are both grumpy. I am NEVER grumpy unless I am super duper tired and it takes quite a bit to [...]
Nesting men
Tuesday, April 7th, 2009
Did you know that men nest as well when there is an impending baby on the cards?
It’s funny how you assume that because this is the second baby, it will be a teeny weeny bit less exciting than the first, but no. Apparently not.
The Hubs, my darling Hubs, is as excited as I am, even [...]
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 [...]
Earning my keep this evening
Friday, December 5th, 2008The Hubs has been nagging me to go to bed in the last hour as we have a super full day tomorrow but I whinged that I had 5 offers to complete and had to complete them!!! So here I am slowly completing those darn offers. I’ve realised that it takes me a whole fifteen [...]
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 [...]
Renovating our home
Monday, November 10th, 2008Clearly, we have no space. In fact, I have been selling stuff and I still have so much more stuff to sell! But that is another story altogether.
The Hubs said today that he was planning to knock down our bedroom bookshelves and build a ceiling height piece of joinery to incorporate our new TV - [...]
Complete honesty between man and wife
Thursday, October 2nd, 2008I asked the Hubs what he thought made a wonderful wife. 36 hours later and 5 presses for an answer, he finally responded.
With caution albeit.
His first answer was “YOU’RE a wonderful wife!”
Liar.
Apparently…….a wonderful wife would:
Take care of him in times of sickness. Check.
Take care of his precious little Tee with her life. Check. I think?
Wash [...]
The art of transporting art
Saturday, September 6th, 2008Have you ever wondered how complicated it is to transport art? art moving is truly an art in itself as I can profess. The architectural model here belongs to one of the many developments that the Hubs is working on and he frequently needs to fly these very complicated cardboard models complete with electronics (lighting [...]
Tee knows how to make money!
Wednesday, September 3rd, 2008Paper money, that is. And she also knows how to ask me for money every time she hears a swear word out of my mouth. Hrmph….
Yesterday, I attempted to teach Tee about money. Now the only reason it appears that I am such a good mom spending quality time with her and all that is [...]
Children’s attachment to their fathers
Tuesday, September 2nd, 2008The Hubs left yesterday for Bahrain. Tee woke up at 2am crying for her father.
“Why does Daddy have to go to Bahrain, Mommy?” *sob-sob*
“Because Daddy has to work.”
“But why does he have to go Bahrain. Why can’t he work here?” *sniffle*
“Because he has work to do in Bahrain.”
“But why, Mommy? *choke-snort, sob-sob* Why can’t Daddy [...]
When to teach your child how to change a spare tyre
Monday, September 1st, 2008Well, I sent my child to be taught just last weekend because I had a flat tyre and Daddy had to go out to fix it at the tyre shop. Initially, Tee had said she didn’t want to go because it was going to be smelly at the tyre shop with all the exhaust fumes [...]
How to play a fun chain story game with children
Sunday, August 24th, 2008If you’d like to learn more fun games for children, or rather, more fun games to play with preschoolers, hop on to my other blog.
Today at dinner, we taught Tee how to play ‘create a story chain’ game. For those who suffered a deprived childhood, a story chain game is where one person starts a [...]
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 [...]
Worrying thought
Tuesday, July 29th, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
Last night, the Hubs was being ‘loving’.
Then he said, “Hey! I can bury my whole face in your tummy!”
Oh my Gawd!!! I really need to do lose weight!!!!!
I haven’t been able to exercise because I have been ill these past week. *sigh* It’s so frustrating!

Mad at the Hubs <0>
Thursday, May 1st, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
One way we are different is that I am all gung-ho and positive and will try and try till I die where as the Hubs, hmmm…….let’s just say, he’s not that.
Today, whilst on the treadmill, I called out to him to call the treadmill supplier to ask a question. He yelled back that he’d [...]
The final countdown
Monday, April 7th, 2008xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
The Hubs, who has been Tee’s sole carer for the last 4.5 days, has begged me today for a one and a half hour early release from his duties, which was originally scheduled for midnight tonight. He had missed his Formula One yesterday because he was in charge of taking Tee to a party and is [...]
