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 [...]

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 [...]

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 [...]

Lounging on the L-shaped sofa

When we visited my sister’s house recently, the boy remarked that he wanted to go back to our apartment in China because he loved the L-shaped sofa:

Currently, our apartment has a 3 + 1 + 1 sofa combination but the 3-seater isn’t wide enough to accommodate lounging – our bad decision when we bought it [...]

AVENT, MAM or Tommee Tippee baby bottles?

Whether you’re a breastfeeding or formula-feeding Mother, the decision of which BRAND of baby bottle you buy probably depends on:
a) price
b) anti-colic?
c) ease of washing
d) supportive of breastfeeding and
e) safety especially with the latest buzz on BPA-free plastics.

As an avid AVENT supporter from the start more than four years ago, I’ve had to try out [...]

Facebook: 7 Things You Should NOT Do

Like any Mother, I love Facebook and joined in when it was first launched (after ditching Friendster). However, it’s so easy to get caught up with what you share on Facebook that we don’t realize that we could be putting both our kids and ourselves in real danger.
I read this article on Yahoo from (here) [...]

How to talk to a Man

Ok, I am ALWAYS reading about wives grumbling about their husbands on most mummy blogs. I’m not a psychologist but since I:

am a tomboy – yup, grew up climbing trees, making tiger fish “satay” (stabbing them right out of the stream! Of course, I CAN’T do this now), flying kites and spent more time in [...]
