« Previous EntriesThe art of saying thank you
Sunday, May 17th, 2009Some people just do not know it. And they never will. Whilst I sit back and reflect on how some people get it whilst others don’t, I ponder about how I myself learnt the art of saying thank you. Did my mother teach me? Was it through observation of adult interaction? Was it through friendships [...]
Do I look like an Information Booth?
Wednesday, May 13th, 2009OK, so for the longest time, people HAVE regarded me as one. Many of my friends from the past call me the walking directory. Some call me the walking encyclopaedia although those must’ve had serious head concussions at some time or other.
I generally want to help people and through this blog, I get to sometimes [...]
Sharing new blogs with readers
Wednesday, May 6th, 2009It is difficult maintaining several blogs but I’ve got it down to a science so far (surely everything will change once the new baby arrives, haha). I can perform one post each daily for each blog, sometimes more if I’m lucky, when Tee is at school. But that means her lunch has to be simple. [...]
Look what I found?
Monday, May 4th, 2009Because I had recommended a friend to the opening of this place in her area, today she sms’d me to ask where it was again but by then I had already deleted the details off my email and smartphone. Since I was in front of the computer, I decided to see if I could find [...]
Badly brought up adults
Sunday, May 3rd, 2009Sometimes, some people just don’t turn out right. They think they have a God given right to act the way they do and are so screwed in the head that their lives become very miserable. Unfortunately, I know of quite a few people like that. Probably because I know too many people. It’s a numbers [...]
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 [...]
My precious firstborn
Friday, April 24th, 2009I’d give anything for these photos to have been taken professionally instead of my stupid handphone. Nevertheless, it depicts the soul of Tee, my precious firstborn, whom I will love fiercely till the day I die.
My dearest Tee, you have grown from a newborn who knew exactly what you wanted into a pretty butterfly, who [...]

The problem with being a Tan Sri….
Monday, January 19th, 2009……is that when your driver goes on long leave, you are suddenly left paralysed without someone to drive you around and run all your little errands for you. When you drive yourself, you suddenly realise you don’t know how to pull out a parking ticket, which button to press or where to pay for that [...]
When do you know when someone is the right one…..
Friday, December 26th, 2008One part of me is saying, you just DO!!! And then the other part is saying, you never do……
What’s your take?
When we have our first wafts of love at the post-pubescent age of 14, we are all so sure that HE is IT/ or she is it (for any male readers out there). SO sure. [...]
What say you???
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008Let’s just say, you are very close family friends with President Obama’s wife but nobody knows that. You choose not to tell anyone because you not only fear your own safety but want to keep social climbers at bay. So you keep your close friendship a secret, so to say.
Then one day, someone says something [...]
Birthday Parties are all about Party Packs
Tuesday, December 2nd, 2008NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
The problem with having your kid grow up in an affluent environment, and I’m not saying mine is, is that they learn to expect things like party packs. Some of the kids I know, have the grandest of birthday parties resulting in over RM30,000 worth of cost. It is ludicrous, ridiculous and downright selfish. Even [...]
In Malaysia, anything is possible….
Friday, November 21st, 2008Remember me telling you earlier about how people are only friends with you for a reason? Well this has happened to us before in my family, and even to me personally.
Even Razak Baginda says that he used to get hundreds of Hari Raya cards before his trial and during this hard time, he got about [...]
Asking for favours
Wednesday, November 19th, 2008Where do you draw the line in asking someone for a favour?
I am generally ok with people asking me DIRECTLY to babysit, do some free work for them, water their plants whilst they are on holiday, run an errand for them or pick their kid up from school. Ask me and I will tell you [...]
I called for a family meeting
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008Yes, I did, and guess what? Almost everyone was on defense mode. Who’s calling this meeting? Who’s part of the family? Why are we having a meeting? What have I done wrong?
I’d realised exactly then, that I should have reworded it and said Family PARTY, instead of Family MEETING. *sigh* We live and learn.
I have [...]
The importance of family
Tuesday, November 18th, 2008This week, I have been thinking seriously about the family unit and what kind of family I want to build for Tee. As I come from a broken family and what the Hubs has isn’t exactly my ideal either, I will develop my own special family; all for the sake of Tee and hopefully, my [...]
Daniel 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 [...]
Why toddlers want to shine and stand out
Tuesday, November 11th, 2008Today at Tee’s Mandarin School, her principal came out to tell me that Tee was cheekily creative. Apparently, they were all made to say in Mandarin that they wanted to go into a particular room for a particular reason (I can’t remember the details as my memory got lost in the gorgeous, absolutely gorgeous La [...]
My mother’s stupid helper
Monday, November 10th, 2008You 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 [...]
People who get too big for their boots *vomit*
Sunday, November 2nd, 2008Do you know any?
Let me tell you of just 2 that I know.
NS (nose shit?) used to be a poor little girl whom I grew up with. For some reason, she was a very insecure girl but who am I to judge? Throughout her teenaged years, she would latch herself onto mega rich men from [...]
I’m missing my bedroom TV
Thursday, October 30th, 2008We used to have one till it went bust. All 3 of us miss it tremendously. We’ve been eyeing a new flat screen TV ever since. I think we’re going to get one soon!! I’ll wish it to happen!!! I need my massages back!!!

Hiring a helper for my own sanity
Thursday, October 30th, 2008I’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 [...]
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 [...]
Two must haves for child rearing
Friday, October 24th, 2008Apart from our genes, these books have played a big part in my bringing Tee up.
Baby Hearts
Secrets of The Baby Whisperer
I highly recommend it to every new mother.

Developing an all rounded child
Tuesday, October 14th, 2008As new mothers, we often get a bit anal when it comes to selecting our child’s first preschool or nursery. I know I was!
When Tee was 2, I had already visited up to 15 preschools within the vicinity and found what I thought was the best playschool for her at the time. And it really [...]
