Maid A, Maid B or Maid C?

by Kit on September 1, 2010

Happy 53th Merdeka, Malaysia!
I have been busy settling down to a new routine and also getting to know a new maid.
MAID A
A neighbour recommended this local Chinese lady in her 50s because she’s clean and honest. I know her quite well too as I’ve seen her whenever I went for my morning breakfast.
She’s [...]

Bicycle built for two…

“Daisy Daisy,
Give me your answer do!
I’m half crazy,
All for the love of you!
It won’t be a stylish marriage,
I can’t afford a carriage,
But you’ll look sweet on the seat
Of a bicycle built for two!”
Familiar with this song? Since I’ll be stuck at home with the baby, I’ve been thinking about buying a bicycle and [...]

A Proud Moment

From the time I was pregnant till the time I’ve been busy with the baby, I have had little chance to check on the boy’s homework or even meet up with his kindergarten teachers.
As he’s a very active boy who will frequently roam around the kindergarten when he’s finished his work or bored with nothing [...]

An Aerochamber and an inhaler

When the boy’s cough didn’t get better after more than 2 weeks (Rhinathiol + Ventolin syrup + Polaramine syrup), which I wasn’t really regular in giving due to to MILLIONS of things I’ve had to rush for the past few weeks, we brought him in to see his paed.
I really wasn’t prepared for what she [...]

Baby blues: Post-partum depression

When I discovered I was pregnant the first time and the second time, I literally jumped with joy!
However, I realize that some people may not be as happy about their second or third etc pregnancy especially if they are having family, money or relationship problems.
Mothers in Malaysia would have read and sympathized with the 35 [...]

Can I be a full-time housewife?

If you read my post on “A Super Housewife“, you can guess what’s happening…
Well, things are happening soon and I’m beginning to *PANIC*. Why?
1. A new preschool
- It’s about 45 mins away from our current place, which means travel right to the other end of town. The old preschool is just 20 minutes away.
- He [...]

Does your baby do this and this and this?

My baby isn’t a year old yet but boy (or girl), is she giving us a headache!
WALKING SOON?
First, I caught her doing “pull-ups” under my dining chair but she’s such a tiny tot, I didn’t think she’d be pulling up yet. But she did!
In the cot. Around the sofa. Near the coffee table.
She looks really [...]

A Super Housewife

When I was a full-time working woman, I remember bumping into this lady in the lift. We’re about the same age but while I’m lugging a laptop, she’s leading a little boy into the lift with a baby girl on her hip. I bet she’s feeling déjà vu when she sees me now!
Yesterday, she invited [...]

How to express breastmilk with the Medela Freestyle

No, we are not looking at your husband…

Question 1: Does your husband look like Marcus Schenkenberg?
Question 2: Does your husband act, dress, stand, walk and talk like Marcus Schenkenberg?
Question 3: Do you think your husband looks like Marcus Schenkenberg? (Be honest, ya. Looking like Marcus Schenkenberg or his brother/cousin/bodyguard/publicist/stylist squatting down looking on the ground 10 ft away does not count.)
If you [...]

Can Abbott’s Natopherol Dermal Defense E reduce stretch marks?

For my first pregnancy, Palmer’s Cocoa Butter did not help me even though I *obsessively* applied it before and after my baths and before and after the pregnancy.
Granted, I put on and lost 30 kg O_O
For my second pregnancy, Bio Oil had no effect and neither did regular olive oil. What’s worse, I have a [...]
