Learning to string your Dad round your little finger

Posted on October 20, 2009October 19, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

My 10 week old baby, since she was 6 weeks old has been spoilt rotten by her Dad. Every night after our dinner, I would go put Tee to sleep, and he would carry T2 the entire night from 8 or 9pm right up till midnight. Is this.......click to learn what next.

Squeeze your thighs together!

Posted on October 19, 2009October 19, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

This morning when I woke up, I noticed that Tee was walking around with her legs tight closed. Then I saw a blue egg (egg shaker) in between her upper thighs right below her crotch. Wondering what that cheeky monkey was up to, I was about to ask.......click to learn what next.

Our weekend

Posted on October 18, 2009October 18, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

The Hubs is on strike. He no longer wants to be included into our weekend activities. He wants to stay home to sleep. Thus any activities I wish to pursue over the weekends will be done alone with my 2 girls. I have never done this before as.......click to learn what next.

Tee’s biggest fan

This is my absolute most expensive bag (if you want to faint from the price, ask me), I think. At the top of my head anyway. I'm almost embarrassed to say that I own it. I hardly (actually never) use it now because I have a newborn and.......click to learn what next.

Organising a playgroup at your home

The Hubs has a mini heart attack every time I tell him that we are having a playgroup at home. This is because he is an anally retentive clean and neat freak. He faints at every stain on the couch and needs an ambulance the moment anything is.......click to learn what next.

Doing things differently

Tee, my daughter of five years old, ever since she was 18 months old and possibly even earlier except that my memory doesn't stretch that far, has always done things differently. She is a little rebel that will do just the opposite of what you tell her to.......click to learn what next.

Stupid Malaysian roads

Posted on October 12, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

I'll say this because I live on this road that is made up of TWO roads of the same name with dead ends on each. It is damn bloody annoying because people ALWAYS get lost coming to my place. It used to be one long road and then.......click to learn what next.

Why some people talk a lot

Posted on October 12, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

I am writing this post right now because Tee is irritating the shit out of me by talking NON STOP and I just cannot understand why she cannot just SHUT UP for 5 minutes. She talks like a loose cannon blabbing away, always with something to say, even.......click to learn what next.

Going out with baby

Posted on October 12, 2009 by Mamapumpkin

The Hubs is very against me going out and about town with baby unless it is to nearby places, which he deems safer, like to Bangsar village or BSC or to pick Tee up from school, or to friend's homes. I was going to go to the Taman.......click to learn what next.

Filtering your water features

I was at a friend's place yesterday and they have a neighbour who had made this fancy water feature cascading down from top level to mid level to lower level, like a waterfall.
