A Mother’s Monologue

Let’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 [...]

NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
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 [...]

Remember 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 [...]

Today 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 [...]

You 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 [...]

Do 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 [...]
