Maggots in my rice, cacing on Malaysiakini

Thursday, July 17th, 2008

“Chewren….come drink maggot soup. Today I make maggot soup. Nice….Nay, see? I am eating maggots with rice.”
Crunch, crunch, crunch, chew, chew, chew, swallow. Burp…

Of freedom, faith and trust

Monday, July 14th, 2008

10 years ago, in the midst of recession in 1998 I resigned. My ex-boss told me, “Lilian, a family cannot survive on $1x,000 per month. Why do you want to do this? (resign)”

Streamyx rant, again…

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

The other day when my sister and my family were in Singapore, my niece heard her father (my bro-in-law) called me “tomboy”. I have an age gap of 10 years with the sister and when she was dating my bro-in-law, I was like 10 years old and very, very tomboy. I rode bicycle [...]

Working parents are going to hate me for this post. But don’t care lah.
There is this babysitter who takes care of a five years old boy. The same age as my little boy. The parents are both working and sometimes, they worked outstation as well. Meaning, they may not pick him [...]
