The Bad and the Guilty One

Do mothers out there feel the same? I feel bad … When I am tired and go to bed earlier than her When I have to spank her When I can’t afford to buy her everything she wants When she wants me to play with her but I rather do something else When I could take her out for walks but I rather park my butt on the couch in front of the TV When I feel like I am not taking good care of her When I cannot afford to send her for playgroups When I opt for TV as babysitter When I am not teaching her about God more often than I should When I did not even do anything educational or interesting with her I feel guilty … When I scolded her for making me angry When I am too lazy to cook for her and gave her plain oats with marmite for lunch When I switch on the TV just to keep her occupied so that I can do what I needed to do When I should be reading to her more often When I lose my temper because she couldn’t tell me what she wants except for crying When I leave her with some else’s care just so that I co

In the midst of busyness...

Raya Week

The Raya holidays were over a little tad too soon. On the first day of Raya, the Grammies, Sara and I packed a bag full of snacks and munchies and head for the road towards Malacca. Our first stop, A’famosa Resort. The drive was slow but smooth despite heavy traffic but we reached our destination within an hour and 45 minutes. The resort was packed with people of all sorts. We have to pay an unbelievable RM38 per head just to get inside. Its one place I have to say regretting going for it. The place is poorly maintained.

The one thing that turned me off is the fact that they chain a tiger to a tree, in the tiger’s den with zero chances of the tiger escaping its den. We finished the little adventure within an hour and left for lunch in Malacca town. We were hoping that we could have some nice peranakan lunch in Jonker Walk but decided to abandon the thought when we saw
