Dear fellow Malaysians, happy Merdeka!
May our beloved country be liberated from injustice, corruption and intolerance. May we be free to call this land our own (I am not a squatter here! I am a Malaysian just like you, UMNO!).

Prenatal baby education
I was in Sibu a few weeks ago, and my dear sister-in law (SIL) asked me if I carried out any “胎教” (I loosely interpret it as “prenatal baby education”). The conversation went something like this:
SIL: Er sao (二嫂, second sister-in-law), did you carry out prenatal baby education?
Me: Eeeerrr… you mean playing music or reading [...]

My pregnancy diet: keeping it real
As promised, I snapped photos of my food intake yesterday. To keep it real, I took what is normally eaten. Let’s see if my diet is up to D Pregnancy Diet’s standard.

Pregnancy diet
There are too many things in the world that are guilt inducing eg RM200 Elle jacket, hours online reading innutritious (but very entertaining) blogs, not bathing your dogs for 3 weeks etc. And now when you get pregnant, you are supposed to follow something called The Pregnancy Diet. As anything worthy under the sun, it [...]

Delicate flower
Me: My back really hurts… and my right arm too, ouch!
Husband: I told you not to use the computer so much. It must be from your poor posture.
Me: I have to work you know? So many emails to reply and people keep skyping me… (I am very busy and important you know?)
Husband: Just check your [...]

Confessions Part 2
What is the best thing being pregnant?
I can put my feet up and enjoy being “aiyoh, aiyoh”. What, you don’t understand “aiyoh, aiyoh” meh? Not a Malaysian or Singaporean kah?
Aiyoh, aiyoh = “Aiyoh, don’t take the laundry basket, I’ll carry it for you.” or “Aiyoh, don’t go near the dogs, I’ll feed/bathe/walk them.” or “Aiyoh, [...]

Hound of Heaven
This is the last part of the famous 182-line poem that speaks to me:
Now of that long pursuit
Comes on at hand the bruit;
That Voice is round me like a bursting sea:

Shattered in shard on shard?
Lo, all things fly thee, for thou fliest Me!
Strange, piteous, futile thing!
Wherefore should any set thee [...]
