Posted on October 14, 2007January 14, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

For her birthday this year, Tee wanted a magician to perform at her party. She seems to have an interest in magic, I think from the many times her Daddy has lied to her. Like when he bullshits her about Barney driving the.......click to learn what next.

Blog hopping in blog communities

Posted on October 14, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

Whilst blog hopping today, I chanced upon so many blog communities and wondered if I should really be joining them to increase blog friends. Since my own friends don't read my blog, perhaps I need to find new friends. Real friends. You know?.......click to learn what next.

I have dandruff, I must be stressed!

Posted on October 14, 2007January 14, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

I have never had a probem with dandruff before and my only association with it is watching those local ads on TV that go "Eeeee.....Kelimumur!!" Do you remember those? The ones where the victims are always dressed in colours of death so you.......click to learn what next.

Tee to watch Disney’s Live Show

Posted on October 14, 2007October 14, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

It will be her first LIVE show - I hope her attention span will last the entire 90 minutes!!! But since she is familiar with Mickey, Minnie, Donald and Goofy, chances are she would really enjoy it. The only reason we have considered.......click to learn what next.

Posted on October 14, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

Ever since a lovely friend of ours lent us a bag of DVDs, we've been watching one every single night. Either we watch it after Tee is asleep, or like last night, I was asleep whilst Tee watched The Transformers with her Daddy........click to learn what next.

I've been doing some research of late about Mandarin classes to decide just how far we want to equip Tee with the language. I have investigated Skylace, BaoBei, Kuen Cheng and talked to people who studied the language at various levels. Tee has had.......click to learn what next.

Moving from a 3,000sf house to a 1,800sf apartment

Posted on October 14, 2007October 14, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

It's called downsizing, or luxuriating, depending on how you want to look at it. When we told people we were moving into a new home half the size of our current home then, they said we were mad. Now we know we were mad........click to learn what next.

Our Raya Weekend crushed

Posted on October 14, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

This Raya weekend was supposed to be filled with visits to Raya celebrations at friend and family's homes but instead we are homebound because I lost the fight to one of Tee's dreaded 'brought home from school' diseases. *sniff* No kuih Raya for.......click to learn what next.

Christmas Holidays in XXX

For the last month we've been trying to book Air Asia tickets but for some reason, the Air Asia website hasn't been accessible. I think too many people are on it to book their own holidays! Finally today, I managed to get in and.......click to learn what next.

Studying new skills after Baby

It has been an ongoing discussion with the Hubs, the subject of getting a maid. Whilst there are days where I feel that I really want one, the Hubs always manages to convince me otherwise. I tried convincing him that I can make more.......click to learn what next.

MAMEEEEEE!!!!! I KILLED IT!!!!!

A couple of days ago, we went shopping for a new little Baju Kebaya (Malay costume worn on Muslim celebrations). Few reasons : Tee was having a Hari Raya Aidilfitri party at school, we were going Raya visiting this weekend, my parents are Muslims, she loves.......click to learn what next.

Aunt Flo and Edginess

I've been really edgy of late. One wrong move and I'd snap. Lose it. I need a break. From Tee.

Bed dance

This morning, I woke up at 6.37am to find that my Toddler wasn't beside me. I jerked myself up and started feeling around the whole king sized mattress, laden with pillows, soft toys and about 500 toddler blankets. Zilch. So I looked on.......click to learn what next.
