My whole family, we went to KLCC to get our hair done because we had a party to attend that night. It was a Malay College dinner and actually not a big deal, but the ladies just wanted an excuse to go for some hair pampering. My hair.......click to learn what next.

Posted on December 1, 2008 by Mamapumpkin

I could easily write 30 posts on children's parties alone. Actually, make that a hundred, counting the ones we have been to since Tee was born!

Daddy, my lovely Daddy…..

Tee and her father, they have this wonderful relationship which is completely separate from mine with her. I am the mother. I shower her with love and attention, abundantly. I shower her with scoldings and naggings, just as opulently. But when push comes to shove, it is always,.......click to learn what next.

Congratulations Al-Joharah!

It's nice to see more and more women up there in the world. Condoleezza Rice is really something, but for Al-Joharah, who is Muslim from a Muslim country gets up, even if it isn't as high up, it shows the world is changing. Slowly but surely.

Getting sick from the rain

Asking for favours

Where do you draw the line in asking someone for a favour? I am generally ok with people asking me DIRECTLY to babysit, do some free work for them, water their plants whilst they are on holiday, run an errand for them or pick their kid up from.......click to learn what next.

No more birthday parties from here on

Yes, we decided last night, the Hubs and I. What would really make him happy, and me too really, is that we no longer attend the many birthday parties that we have taken Tee to in the past. She will just have to adjust and learn that we.......click to learn what next.

Helping family out

I called for a family meeting

Yes, I did, and guess what? Almost everyone was on defense mode. Who's calling this meeting? Who's part of the family? Why are we having a meeting? What have I done wrong? I'd realised exactly then, that I should have reworded it and said Family PARTY, instead of.......click to learn what next.

Any idea what Tee is looking at? Since she was 6 months old, my mother would take Tee to KLCC and show her all the diamonds and point out to all things bling. She even taught Tee how to pronounce Bulgari, Tiffany and Cartier, hehehe..... And believe it.......click to learn what next.

Doing something productive

Having a toddler means always thinking of ideas to keep them entertained. What more with a precocious little girl who's always complaining of her boredom. To me, that's a sure sign of a lazy brain. One who thinks can never get bored! Anyway, Tee was bored. Again. So.......click to learn what next.

Trusting a ‘spiritual’ leader or bomoh

Some people I know do just that. It is an unconditional surrender to someone or some people from the 'other' side. Some people, especially the wealthy, may do it because they do not have friends they can trust. It is almost like since they cannot trust anyone to.......click to learn what next.
