Did I make it to KLIA?

Posted on September 21, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

Thank you to all of you who took time to comment. By this morning, the Hubs still hadn't responded to my text message asking him if I should risk going to the airport alone with Tee. My dearest brother, with all good intentions,.......click to learn what next.

Delighted new Dads

1980. Four men were sitting at the waiting room in a hospital waiting for their wives to give birth. A nurse came out and told the first Daddy, "Congratulation Mr Tan, you are blessed with twins!" "Ohh......what a coincidence! I work at the PetronasTwinTowers." Mr Tan joked........click to learn what next.

Whenever we visit my mom every Friday, it's Tee's ticket to freedom. She gets all the candy in the world, is protected from disciplinary warnings and spits at the Thinking Corner. The girl has a SERIOUS field day. Today was no different. Whilst.......click to learn what next.

My first conference table jitters

The big Petronas job. 20 leery fall guys. I thrashed them. Contract sealed. Headquarters were pleased. My first brush with a boardroom was in KL. Then, at the inexperienced age of 25, I was merely a secondary contributor. I never would have imagined that one.......click to learn what next.

The Hubs is in Bahrain. It is the kid and I. Home alone. I got a call this evening from Tee's grandparents informing us that they will be in Kuala Lumpur tomorrow evening from 5pm to midnight for a long transit to Shanghai........click to learn what next.

The Hubs was born on Guy Fawkes thus I will need to think up a birthday present soon. What, what, what? *tapping fingers* A-HAH!!! I think I'll get him this. He already has a small one but ever since I attended the Outward.......click to learn what next.

Entertainment Capital of the World

Any clue where that is? The world is so vast and wide that even one who has travelled far across the oceans would have trouble deciphering where exactly the entertainment capital of the world is. What kind of entertainment exactly are we talking.......click to learn what next.

Tee’s Party Packs

Posted on September 17, 2007January 14, 2011 by Mamapumpkin

This is what I was busy with last week. Although I wasn't planning a party for Tee this year, she actually requested for one as the date approached. This was 2 weeks after we arrived back from Oz so I freaked out. How.......click to learn what next.

Just look at her! She looks like she is being all prepped up for her wedding day but it was only her third birthday party. Mom insisted she wore a party dress so that's why my little gangster is looking all prim and.......click to learn what next.

Of sponsored posts AGAIN! Let me rape you….

When I was expecting Tee, I had a lot of time to do my research on what I needed, what I really, really, really needed and what I definitely did not need. Being pregnant without a job allowed you time to look into the.......click to learn what next.

Tee meets Digi’s Yellow Men!

Posted on September 16, 2007 by Mamapumpkin

Very clever, these Digi people. They opt for the yellow men strategy and not a particular face so anyone can be the yellow men. They don't have to pay someone famous big bucks for their face. They are also the most advanced telco.......click to learn what next.
