Manggis Vs. Monkeys

Mama bought mangosteens today. And I LOOOOVE mangosteens. And langsat. And dukong. And rambutans. And also recently, durians. (But I prefer the sweet kind. 🍬 #amateur #donttellmyAhMa) Yup, I'm your local, seasonal fruit kinda gal. So when I spotted the mangosteens sitting in a bowl, I went...


Pam Song: Wah!!! So many manggis!! 🤩

JJ: Where? Where?? Where are the monkeys??? 🐒

😂😂😂

Note to Self:
Make sure the kids learn Bahasa Malaysia.
Bahasa Melayu? Bahasa Malaya!? 🤭🤷‍♀️

Living With JJ In The Future

JJ always tells me he wants me to live with him when he's older and has his own place. Sometimes, he tells me that we share a unit. Other times, he tells me I should be on one floor, and he will buy a unit on the 11th floor of the same condo and live there "together" with me. He usually talks about this whenever we're in the lift alone and it warms my heart to hear him speak this way about our future cos... you know la boys. Once they grow up, they no care Mummy no more. 😢 #realitiesoflife #facingthefacts

Today was another day for another

such conversation with my youngest-born.

But with an unpredictable twist.

Because JJ is unpredictable like that.

JJ: Mommy, next time can you live with me?

Pam Song: Caaaannnn... 😍😘

JJ: *matter-of-fact-ly* Because I cannot cook yet.

Pam Song: 😳🤨🤔

Right. *rolls eyes* My clingy, loving son is gone and his very-pragmatic, tham-ciak split personality persona is back to rule the day. 🙄 #kenaguna #likeJekyllandHyde

Do You Have A House?

As heard coming from the backseat on the way back down to KL after a busy week of seeing contractors and getting quotes in order for our Penang house reno to (hopefully) commence ASAP so we can move in on schedule.


 JJ: Kor Kor, will your house have a lot of sweets? 

 JZ: I don’t even have a house!!! 🏡 *wrings hands in the air exasperatedly*

 JJ: *sadly* Me also. ☹️

LOL. Kids. They really crack me up la.
Talking about home ownership at 4 and 6. 😂

A Day Of Goodbyes & Gifts

Our time in KL is coming to a close. It's the last week of school so I'm cramming in as many "goodbyes" as I can before we leave this place we've called home for so long. It's bittersweet but this move has been a long time coming anyways so I guess we've dragged it out for as long as we can already as it is. 

This morning I had breakfast with the AS CCF volunteering parents at the pondok near school. I wish I thought enough to take pictures of the lot of us together one last time but alas, I was too busy talking and eating that it slipped my mind until now that I'm writing this. Boohoo. Wasn't expecting to receive anything but I ended up coming home with a surprise parting gift, too. 🎁

So grateful for my short but sweet time serving the Lord together with these wonderful, self-sacrificing parents who get together weekly in spite of their busy schedules to do all the little things that make a big difference in the little lives we've been blessed with. ❤️


Picked JJ and then rushed off for another appointment. Lunch turned out to be a surprise farewell at House + Co, BSC. Was invited for lunch only actually... but then mana tau, got gift and kena belanja also. Paiseh only. 😅😅😅

Truly blessed to have crossed paths with some really nice people during our time here in KL and during our short stint at AS. I will really miss the friendships, the community spirit and the parents and children we've met and gotten close with.

I then come home after picking JZ from school (kereta sapu in service daily 🚕) and of course, The Husband has to wet-blanket all my fun la, right. Because that's what husbands do, right? Right?? #masterkilljoy Naturally... So... 

The Husband: Eh... why people keep giving you gifts wan?

Pam Song: Because I'm nice la!

The Husband: I don't get it. How do you do it?? Why they always give you gifts!?

Pam Song: Ya la, ya la. Everybody likes to give me gifts except my husband.

The Husband: *blink blink* Because I'm the greatest gift wat. 😁 #shameless

Pam Song: 🙄

The Husband: Eh... but why do they give you gifts??? Puzzling la.

ZZZ... SOME people ah.
