Throughout her 2+ years, Tee has accumulated several magic wands from various sources but this week's self-made magic wand was the most fun by far! Tee made a magic wand and a crown and dressed up as a fairy princess with her friends this week. She knew from.......click to learn what next.
I got tagged. I don't even know what it means or how it works but I will give it a go from whatever I understand with my infinitely limited blog skills. The only tag I know was the playing chase kind of tag when I was 12. :-).......click to learn what next.

I write this for the sake of those who are there right now. I've been there before. And everyone goes there at some point of their lives. Some visit several times over. It's not a friendly place to be but we need to be there because we need.......click to learn what next.
When bathing Tee: Mummy - dumps her in the tub with bubbles and play/bath her or let her play by herself and Mummy brings laptop to bathroom :-). Takes her out and dries her. She clothes herself. Leaves water there for Daddy to clean up. Daddy - gently.......click to learn what next.
I woke up this morning with a sharp pain on my neck. I could barely move my swollen head and wondered if I had slept 'wrongly' but unlikely....so I wondered if it was the steroids playing tricks with my nerves. Tee was trying hard to get me awake.......click to learn what next.
It is an age old cliche that mothers and daughters always have some form of relationship problems. I wonder why that is though because it really doesn't have to be. I have an extremely difficult relationship with my Mother. My Mother had me when she was very young,.......click to learn what next.
For the longest time, Tee had several favourite books but suddenly (in the last month), she has consistently asked for Monkey Puzzle by Julia Donaldson. I have to read it to her sometimes up to ten times a day. I swear we both know the book inside out........click to learn what next.
Actually they have new names for it now - Toddler Assessment File, Annual Report, Children's Annual Assessment, Parent Teacher Chat (PTC), Toddler Appraisal, Toddler Evaluation Sheet.....yeah, I know. So serious. I sat with Tee's teacher for a whole hour looking through this plastic sheet file filled with a.......click to learn what next.

I spent 3 hours at the hospital because it is the Malaysian King's Birthday today, which means that none of the neighbourhood clinics are open. Just for the record, did you know that Malaysia is a country with one of the most public holidays in the world? Don't.......click to learn what next.
Of late, Tee has been asking about babies, where they come from, getting married, weddings etc - this is because there are people around us who are pregnant, who just delivered, who are about to get married etc. She picks up on our adult conversations and then asks.......click to learn what next.
This morning despite still being sick as a dog and coughing like my lungs were scratching blades, I had to wake up early to do my playgroup duty at the Charity Organisation I volunteer at. Bugger. There was just no way I could have cancelled it. As it.......click to learn what next.
I watched Donald Trump's Miss Universe 2007 tonight and screamed, "AAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!!!" when Miss USA fell on her butt. Ouch. It clearly hurt but she was so graceful about it and her smile didn't show after that she had lost an ounce of confidence. Inconsiderate audience for boo-ing her.......click to learn what next.
Japan's agricultural minister killed himself. The bloke was about to be questioned and he knew he was guilty. Hmmm......if only some of our own ministers would follow suit. *evil grin*
Ever since my MIL returned from a holiday in China, she'd been harping on and on about how dirty the way they prepared food was, how they put dogs into cans, how they used infinite amounts of chemicals in anything that can earn them an extra buck, how.......click to learn what next.
If there was ever a time I could be more wrong, it certainly was today. I had misjudged the need for a stroller when I brought Tee to the KLCC Aquaria (Tee is on school holiday these two weeks) thinking that if I could carry a 13 kilo.......click to learn what next.
When I was a student in London, I'd travel in and out of the UK perhaps up to five times a year - trip home to KL, architectural school visit, trip to Italy (to visit ex-boyfriend's family), and a holiday here and there if funds permitted. All throughout.......click to learn what next.

"Not now, Mummy. I have a headache." *In case you were wondering what the discolourations are on her face, it is make-up which Tee has put on herself. Without my permission.
A few years ago, the Hubs and I moved into our current home but chose to keep our other house, just in case we decided to return living in that sentimental place we first played nookie. We hired a property consultant to find us some tenants and soon.......click to learn what next.
After 3 weeks of having Tee's school flu, I woke up this morning coughing out *shock, horror!* blood! Oh dear, I thought to myself. Can't avoid the Doctor anymore. I had a fever that I didn't even feel but the Doctor told me I had one so I.......click to learn what next.
