T1 has this beautiful doll house that is every little girl's dream, mine included, and I keep reminding her just how lucky she is to have this doll house. Lately though, she hardly has any time to play with it because of her demanding school schedule and other.......click to learn what next.

Selling babies in Malaysia

Posted on May 25, 2010May 25, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

There are many people here who yearn for a baby yet cannot conceive hence babies for sale are a big business. You can purchase a newborn Indian baby for as cheap as RM5,000. That's cheaper than my hospital bill for delivering T2. Anyway, as my kids always stress.......click to learn what next.

Good at directions?

Posted on May 23, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Last week, we went to a friend's house which we almost never go to as it is so far but we've been there several times. I went alone with T1 and left T2 with the Hubs (I'm loving my days with T1 ALONE!!!) and I told her that.......click to learn what next.

Smelly school books

Yesterday in the car after we attended the West Side Story musical (we were lucky enough to be given tickets!) at that horrible Istana Budaya building (and I shall tell you why in another post!), T1 asked me why we had to stand up before the musical to.......click to learn what next.

My beautiful daughter, T1

As of today, Tee becomes T1, upon her instructions. Of course, those of you who know us know what her real name is. It is the word asset spelled backwards :-) and she is our most prized asset of all time.

Mommy and Me, All to Myself….

Ever since I was pregnant with T2, my world had been a cloud of vomiting, then babies and nappies and poo and breasts and milk and nursing tops and nursing bras and baby carriers and sleepless nights. I hadn't paid Tee any attention at all and the poor.......click to learn what next.

Happy Mother’s Day!

Posted on May 8, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

When I picked Tee from school last Friday, she excitedly told me that I wasn't allowed to look into her school bag. Knowing exactly why, I played along anyway and pretended to be really curious. She was so excited and could simply not contain herself that she had.......click to learn what next.

Tee’s Sports Day

Posted on April 27, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Thank goodness, it wasn't raining. I wondered if there was a back up plan had it rained as it has been raining quite a bit lately. I was truly impressed at Tee's sports day as students of each house had to get together to choreograph a sort of.......click to learn what next.

Tee’s Sports Day

Posted on April 25, 2010April 25, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Probably one of the best sports days I've ever been to. And it was Tee's FIRST ever Sports Day. Terribly fun. We kept asking her what she had to do and she gave us the most hilarious answers, that we just had to see her in action for.......click to learn what next.

Teaching your child manners

Posted on April 13, 2010February 1, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

Lately, I have been having moments where I think Tee is very rude. And I look around me, and it seems many kids are very rude! It's just the way society have evolved that manners no longer play a front seat in bringing up children and this is.......click to learn what next.

How to tie a scarf

According to Tee, that is. We were in Isetan one day and whilst waiting for our beloved Nana, Tee wanted to borrow my scarf because she said she was cold. I usually carry a scarf in my bag, just in case I'm in an area where I think.......click to learn what next.

Saturday, 10th April

We had a great day today. Despite the fact that we all slept at 4am last night because Tee had a coughing fit which woke everyone up between 1-4am, we managed a full day out from 9am right up to 9pm. With a baby and a 5 year.......click to learn what next.

Oh no, not again?!

Posted on April 9, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

This girl, she always gets what she wants. Not from me, mind you. But from anyone else she can con. The Hubs and I, we've banned this from our household and we've told her that we will not be buying it for her anymore. She still managed to.......click to learn what next.

Now you know why we're always busy!!! Did anyone know about the WTA Malaysian Open tennis championships this year? Well, Tee had a part to play in it as you will see below. Strutting the court like a true tennis champ. She cannot even hold a racket! Too.......click to learn what next.
