T1’s first Art Competition
The Mexican Embassy recently invited T1's school to enter an international art competition about Mexican Food. One of her favourite subjects is Art so needless to say, she really, REALLY wanted to participate in the competition. The end result is not near enough to Picasso but I absolutely.......click to learn what next.
The importance of studying Bahasa Malaysia
Recently, T1 had her mid year exam (wow, so serious! I know.....for real, OK?!). She is 6.5 years old and in Primary One, but she currently does Primary Two work. Why, you might ask? Well, that is just how her school operates. Sounds daunting? Not in the least........click to learn what next.
Harbour Town in Perth
Harbour Town in Perth is a large outlet mall that sells high street fashion Australian brands, not designer labels, but still an enjoyable haunt. My favourite is Forever New. I'd like to bring it into KL one day. OK, someone else is going to do it before me,.......click to learn what next.
We watched Justin Bieber LIVE in Kuala Lumpur!!!
We watched Justin Bieber live in Kuala Lumpur.....yes. In the first place, let me tell you, that for the longest time, I could not stand Justin Bieber. He was a kid I had utterly no interest in at all. And I love kids. Even big ones. But T1.......click to learn what next.
How to make a Paper Mache vase
How to make a paper mache vase: This is certainly one skill where T1 beats me head on because quite simply, I have not done paper mache in my entire life. I know how to do it theoretically, just haven't done it! Last year when T1 spent every.......click to learn what next.
Chocolate stash from Perth
One of the things that is so worth getting from abroad, especially from Europe, the US and Australia is our regular chocolate stash from Perth. Whilst waiting for the family group to come together, T1 and I scurried to the supermarket to get a haul of chocolate. *gleeee*.......click to learn what next.
Best Friends Forever
Let's hope! I really don't believe in the concept of best friends although in the past, when I was growing up, I had a best friend. Or several best friends. But as a kid, what do you know? People grow at different rates, people gain new interests, people.......click to learn what next.
Literary Day at T1’s School
T1's school is full of performances!!! I always wonder where and how the heck they get the energy and time to practice given their already grueling academic schedule? Last year alone, there was the annual concert, the Chinese New year concert, the Deepavali concert, the Christmas concert, Literary.......click to learn what next.
Lego stimulates creativity
The below were created by T1 last year (yes, these are way old posts but they just NEED to be done) not following any of the Lego instructions. She will follow the Lego instructions ONCE whenever a set is new, and then jumble all the pieces into separate.......click to learn what next.
Sisters in love
I always encourage sisterly bonds and remind the girls that they are sisters and possibly best friends forever and despite the fights, at the end of the day, they are sister true and true...... But now, every time they give each other a hug or a cuddle, they.......click to learn what next.
Making things for Mommy
Did you make anything out of that piece of magnetic art? My T1, she loves me to the end of the world and back, and is always making things for Mommy, may it be drawings, craft or written love notes. And she is ever so helpful. I love.......click to learn what next.

Horsing around at the Westin Hotel
That's what Godpa Dave calls it. Bless Godpa Dave, he makes it a point to visit us every time he happens to be in the region. He leads such a busy life traveling the world that he never knows which city he's in most days. Before he visited.......click to learn what next.
Power Struggles with kids
After spending 2 full days where I was out the door by 830am and back home only after midnight (and this is due for a variety of reasons), on Day 3, I was about to book myself into Tanjong Rambutan (that is our famous local mental asylum). Tired.......click to learn what next.
Pinching sisters
It's my first day back home with the kids after a PURRRR.....FECT girlie weekend and how I already wish I was back in Bangkok. Yes, ALREADY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Did I miss my kids? No. Nonononononono. No. Maybe I'm a bad mother, but I don't think so. Certainly I did not.......click to learn what next.
My Future Bride
Despite all her Ben10-ism, I'm glad to share that T1 still has some feminine hormones in her. Some people have worryingly advised that I should encourage her to wear dresses at least some times ladidadida or she might turn gay, but I'm sure this is just a phase.......click to learn what next.
Oshkosh B’Gosh Baby Shoes
These sturdy rubber OshKosh B'Gosh shoes are barely 2 months old!!! We bought them just before we went to Kelantan for Chinese New Year and now, T2 can no longer fit into them. DAMMIT!!! It is a Size 3 - anyone interested to help us put money towards.......click to learn what next.
Getting kids to help in the kitchen
Getting kids to help in the kitchen is a good idea. From the age of two, T1 has helped me in the kitchen and everywhere else. She loves peeling garlic and peeling/plucking vegetables. Now that she's a bit older, she's finally been allowed to use the peeler and.......click to learn what next.
Why kids love french fries
Because it's frigging SALTY?????!!!!!! Seriously, whenever we order french fries from McDonalds or wherever, I always request for NO SALT PLEASE. I know it is a pain in the arse and sometimes, I forget even, but it is so worth it. They really don't need all that salt........click to learn what next.
The birds and the bees……
......have still not come out to sting. Phew. Sometimes the birds shit a little but I can always clean shit. Question of the day was, "Mommy, so when Uncle Ben gets married, does the baby come BEFORE the wedding or AFTER the wedding?" Darn cute. After cackles of.......click to learn what next.

Tae Kwon Do for self-defense

Days at the fish spa
I haven't a clue what T1's fascination is with fish spas but she absolutely LOVES them. Last year, she negotiated with us that if she were to get full marks for all her papers, then we'd treat her to a weekly fish spa for 3 months. We agreed.......click to learn what next.
A home for Sophie the Giraffe
Whilst I was busy one day, T1 entertained herself by building a home for Sophie the Giraffe. I've been thinking if I should sell Sophie but she's a bit sentimental so I haven't had the heart to do it yet. Poor T2......Mommy wants to sell all her toys!.......click to learn what next.
Stylo at Pavilion 2010
Check out the big shoe.....I must tell T1 the story of the old woman who lived in the shoe. She used to have the book but I'll bet she's forgotten!
T1 loves money $$$$$
ALREADY???? I found a book with her writings in it and this is what it said : Once upon a time, instead of water falling, money fell. Yay! Scrambled eggs to be. Milly Molly Mandy. August 2010 - when spelling was still weak. Must be my influence. Hick.
Sharing his gadgets
Every time T1 and Tok-Tok are together, they share their gadgets together....... At La Bodega, they were having a meal together and sharing the same ipod. But whose music was it (as they both have ipods)? Were they listening to Pavarotti or Taio Cruz??? Or maybe Alvin and.......click to learn what next.
