You know, if there could be more things I could be blessed with, I really do not know what they could be. Having an easy baby? Having the fittest body and looking absolutely gorgeous after pregnancy?

The Hubs didn't allow me out today. *sigh* But I had some Kahlua last night and it was HEAVEN!!! Kahlua Creme on the rocks. It bloody rocked! I'm going to have it every night now. Pity I can only have ONE shot. I swear I could down a.......click to learn what next.

Oops! I did it again!

Wiped out every single email on my gmail accidentally. It just makes me SO MAD, but I'll just accept it as pregnant, frazzled brain for now. Apologies again to those who've taken time to comment and email and will not be getting a response now. Sorry....sorry......sorry. The baby.......click to learn what next.

Indian Sunday Brunch at Lake Club

I love Indian mamak food. What am I saying? I love ALL food. But on this particular Sunday, this is what we had. One of the better satays in KL....notice how unburnt it is? The Hubs is paranoid about getting cancer from eating charred food. Maggi Mee Goreng.......click to learn what next.

My Motorola Phone is haunted

I have told you before that I read all your blogs from my trusty mobile phone after midnight just before bed. In the last few weeks, that was promoted to reading blogs between the hours of 4am to 7am (which is when I am wide awake!) which left.......click to learn what next.

Welcoming our new helper

Posted on July 8, 2009July 6, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

Today was a nerve-wrecking day. The uncertainties of hiring a new employee at the office versus one that would actually live in YOUR home, is certainly something to beckon with. Suddenly, our very private privacy gets thrown right out the window and we now have another human being.......click to learn what next.

Preparing for your helper’s arrival

That’s what I’ve been doing these last few days. We cleaned out her room and tried to make it as comfortable as possible despite it being very small. It is essentially a 6 feet x 10 feet room with built-in cupboards and drawers all over the room which.......click to learn what next.

A hot Balinese wedding in Bangsar

Posted on July 6, 2009June 29, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

A few weeks ago, we attended the wedding of an old family friend which had a Balinese theme. Because it was dark, hot and atmospheric, I failed to get a picture of the bride, who looked resplendent in a sequined sparkly white bustier and a brown batik printed.......click to learn what next.

Tee was a huge success at the movies last night.

Please, if you have not yet participated in my little competition, please do so. I am not trying to garner extra visitors to my blog or extra page clicks. It is simply that I had no ideas for naming Tee's many faces and came up with the idea.......click to learn what next.

With the impending arrival of Number Two, we needed to rearrange Tee's bedroom to accommodate more err....stuff? We gave away Tee's old wardrobe and traipsed down to Ikea for a new wardrobe that would fit both children's clothes. And we all know how much clothes Tee already has!!!.......click to learn what next.
