Pissed Off
I have been really pissed off with one of my suppliers. I was her customer but she had never valued me. I had given her so much business. She was arrogant, extremely rigid, very calculative, terribly stingy and unethical. Recently, we had a fall out and I finally ended my business relationship with her. I…

2 Little Teachers
Baby was seated at the dining table having her lunch. As usual, rascal #2 who can never sit still during meal times was romping round the house, touching everything that catches her eyes and curious mind and then she spotted her old exercise book from pre-school that had the very first ABCs that she wrote. …

Silence Spells Trouble!
Whenever I don’t hear my rambunctious cili padi singing or babbling, I better go and look for her and check out what she’s up to. Silence spells something is brewing somewhere!!

Goodies Made With Love From Home
When she’s around, I don’t have to worry about food on the table – 3 meals a day. She prefers homemade breads, cakes, cookies and homecooked food.

My Precious Baby’s Growing Up Fast
Alycia my first precious baby is growing up too fast. From a cartoon-crazed toddler, she is now ‘promoted’ to the next level. Though she is now only 6.5 years old and is in Standard 1, she looks like an 8-yo girl and many of her likes have now changed. During this school term break, the TV…
