You should never count on two men to defend your honour in front of a crying woman. You will inevitably be branded Bitch of the Universe [because two men cannot handle a crying woman and will agree with whatever she says] and the justification will be that you are pregnant and hormonal and it will [...]

I dreamt last night that for a long period of time, no one was talking to me. Everyone around me was talking about me but no one wanted to actually talk to me. It was really not pleasant at all. Then Peanut woke me up at 7am to stuff both her bolsters in my face [...]

2 weeks ago [after being on hold for about 5 minutes] Operator: All of our operators are busy now. Can I take down your name and phone number, Ma’am, and we’ll return your call shortly?

a text conversation between an exasperated pregger and her husband She: When pregnant Singaporean women write to the forum complaining about lack of seats in trains, I think most of them deserve to stand because chances are when they aren’t pregnant they won’t give up their seats readily. He: Hear Ye I agree She: I [...]

I fell into a drain on my way home on Friday evening because I can no longer see my feet. This is after I almost fell off the steps of my building going back from lunch for the same reason. I slammed the right side of my face against the concrete and now have a [...]

Secretary outside my office to her boss: Someone on the phone wants to know whether you have any pupils attached to you at the moment? Yes, deep shit. They are part of my eyes. * My secretary to some claims officer over the phone: Are you The One? Yes, I am The One whom they [...]
