Drifting into surrealism

Posted on September 15, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Prejudging people

Posted on September 15, 2010September 15, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

I like Perth. I like it a lot. I like it for its blue skies and gorgeous, GORGEOUS blue-green-turqoise-emerald-and everything in between seas; I like it for its friendly people, the politeness, the helpfulness, the cheerfulness, the maturity, the craziness, the fun, the.......click to learn what next.

Posted on September 3, 2010August 31, 2010 by Mamapumpkin

Now that Merdeka Day has come and gone, did the Earth move for you? I remember back in the day when Merdeka Day to me was really a cause for celebration. As a child, I was brought to the Selangor Club to experience.......click to learn what next.

Blogging ups and downs

Apart from spewing verbal diarrhea all over the internet (which releases a lot of internal tension hence good for health), I love blogging because it gives my heart a good workout (again, good for health). Yes, thumpety-thump-thump......my heart aches tremendously and cries out.......click to learn what next.

For the last 200 days, the Hubs had rushed the school run with T1 but now that he's home, I've volunteered to drive her instead. Anything to keep me away from the drug addict at home. My baby, that is. I wonder where.......click to learn what next.

I must say, I have never witnessed a stronger sisterly bond than these two and I'm not meaning to boast my pride but only that I've not been around many young sisters obviously! T1 adores baby T2 to no end and will read,.......click to learn what next.
