Best Friends Forever

Posted on April 1, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

For the longest time since Tee started school right up to this year, she had maintained that she only had one friend, her best friend and nobody else ever came close. Since the middle of last year, that best friend had moved on to International School although she.......click to learn what next.

Wanting versus needing

Posted on March 27, 2010March 27, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Lately, there are a few lessons I've been trying to teach Tee which I feel are important. I know the school teaches them very good manners but because I don't actually have a 'manners' manual or syllabus per se (and I have been meaning to write one up!),.......click to learn what next.

Happy Birthday, Uncle Ben!

A couple of weeks ago, my brother Ben, turned 34. I think? My brother Ben is the most amazing brother, uncle, son and in future, husband anyone could ever wish for. Really. And the girl who will eventually steal his heart will be as lucky to have a.......click to learn what next.

Straight from the horses mouth

I wish I don't have parents who are stressed out all the time! (well, why do you think we're stressed out all the time, little lady???) *************************** Mommy: Tee, don't get married unless you want to have kids, OK? There is no reason to get married.

My little FBI

Kong-Kong had bought Tee this cool outfit and she LOVES it. She was making up phrases for the alphabets FBI all day, like Fat Boy Icing, Funny Baby Igloo, Fun Bobo Island etc. When Kong-Kong finally told her what the real meaning of FBI was, she felt really.......click to learn what next.

After waking up to catch a plane at 630am, we finally arrived in Kota Bharu for Chinese New Year at my in-laws and guess what the girls got up to for the next 3 hours? Tee was sent to do some colouring whilst T2 ate her lunch..... Then,.......click to learn what next.

How to shut a kid up on a plane

Posted on February 17, 2010February 17, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Whilst we're on the roll on planes and chatty chicks, I thought I'd share how we managed T2's first plane ride ever. Tee had her 1st plane ride when she was 4 months old. She has traveled more places now than I ever had before I was 30.......click to learn what next.

Now Everyone Can Fly……

.....LATE AS USUAL!!! (is what TF left out in his tagline!) We didn't fly Air Asia this time but took MAS instead and were pleasantly surprised and happy with MAS this time round. Truth be told, I don't have a favourite. It's almost like a Celcom-Maxis war. They're.......click to learn what next.

The makings of a crook

At the supermarket today, Tee asked me if she could buy Nutella for bread. Since we hadn't used it for awhile, I said OK. We have been trying to stay away from Nutella and Goober Grape as Tee LOVES them for their sweetness and not only that, they're.......click to learn what next.

Tee, my Olympic swimmer

Posted on February 6, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Tee had 3 one hour swimming lessons last year at our local club and because she has learnt to put her head underwater and can wade from A to B, she thinks she can swim. Mind you, she CAN swim. Well, sort of....in a 'chaplang' sort of way........click to learn what next.

My little TRANSFORMER

Posted on February 6, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

If you know Tee, you would know that she isn't a princess Barbie kind of girl but more of a Ben10 - Transformer chick. In fact, she was recently teased in school because she wore Ben10 sandals and the boys laughed at her saying Ben10 shoes were for.......click to learn what next.

Stressed out Mom

The night before last, T2 woke up every single hour from midnight to 6am just to have a suck on the boob. Yesterday, I shouted at Tee 3 times because I was tired, stressed out about T2's lack of weight and crying for an hour just before I.......click to learn what next.

A conversation with my 5 year old daughter

Mommy: Tee, Mommy is very sad because I discovered today that Bumbo is ruined. Tee: *blank look* Mommy: Bumbo was very expensive and I am so sad that all that money spent on it is wasted. Tee: *still confused* Nevermind, T2 can use it. It's not a waste........click to learn what next.

Tee’s first day at school

Posted on January 16, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

My little princess, I was so proud of her. She was one of the only kids who didn't have a parent with her and yet she was OK. We figured that since she was OK on orientation day, she'd be more OK on Day One of big school........click to learn what next.
