Neck ache

Posted on May 12, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

I've been suffering from neck ache this last week and it's a real bitch. Can't wait till my masseuse arrives on Friday. I had a half hour shoulder and neck massage on Sunday at the Kenko Fish Spa at that made it worse! I don't think those girls.......click to learn what next.

Malay food addiction

Posted on May 7, 2009May 7, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

On the way to Tee's school on the road just behind her school (the main road), there is a little Malay stall which serves the yummiest Malay food that makes the baby in my tummy completely ecstatic. If I can help it, I'll try not to eat there.......click to learn what next.

Posted on May 6, 2009May 4, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

It is difficult maintaining several blogs but I've got it down to a science so far (surely everything will change once the new baby arrives, haha). I can perform one post each daily for each blog, sometimes more if I'm lucky, when Tee is at school. But that.......click to learn what next.

After an entire morning of picking up trash, hey, that's 4 kilometers mind you, of steep uphill struggles, we were famished. Our meals were all packaged up by the resort so we ate there mostly, despite cravings to get out into the town to eat real food. Breakfast.......click to learn what next.

What radio station do you listen to?

Posted on April 9, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

The only time I ever listen to the radio is when I am ALONE in the car without Tee. Otherwise, I have to bare with her cow. Her cow is a fluffy cow filled with audio CDs for the car and I hate that blasted cow. This morning,.......click to learn what next.

Snow in Malaysia??

Tee dreaming of a doll house

From my experience, majority of Malaysians don't like spending on office furniture as opposed to their foreign counterparts.
