I have so many photos that I didnt know how to post them up to my blog. So sneak preview before I decided what to post on the blog.

Battle with the roaches

Did not expect that I have to kill the cockroaches without the presence of Law. In fact most of the time the roaches will appear when Law is not ard. Do the roaches feel that I will scream and run away and leave them alone? Yes, I will scream for help if Law is ard but I will kill to survive when Law is absense. I cannot stand roaches and I hate them. This home only allow 4 of us and no other more, somemore a cockroach. These pest has to be get rid else I cant sleep at night! The moment I step into the kids room, Janelle shouting for cockroach. I jumped immediately, and rushed to make a newspaper baton to battle with the cockroach. Well the 1st cockroach doesnt take me too long to settle it. Never did I expect there is another one that fly into my house, yes flying cockroach surveying my house before it decided to settle somewhere. Creepy! I called Law immediately, hoping that he will be home soon to settle this utimate one. No, he is still along SLE. I have to watch the cockroach and ...

Hectic week

This week is really hectic for me. I have to ensure the project still able to run without me around, pack my cubicle for the coming office renovation and ensure Janelle has gone thru all the revision for her coming revision test next week. I dun even have time to go thru the official guideline paper for the task I need to work on during my working trip. With that the stress just mountain up to a point I thot I am going to break down anytime. This feeling is really weird, I just felt like crying and I have no idea what my tears were for. It did not help much when pple thot my so call working trip was just a tour to them. NO pple. I am going there to work. Yes, there are tasks to be done and work to deliver there. I do hope company will spend $$ to send me to relax. The only incentive of this trip was the ability to extend my stay over at Paris to pay Ashley a visit. Unfortunately Law couldnt follow me this time. I do hope and will ensure that he will come with me the next round I fly a...

Rain......

2 weeks ago, the kids got themselves each a raincoat cos I forgot to bring a umbrella and we were all stuck at Parkway. A week later, I brot the raincoat when I brot Janelle for her swimming class and luckily it came very handy. Handy cos Law was working that day and I have to bring the kids out alone using public transport. I used this opportunity to get Julian his own ezylink card and brot him for his 1st ride on the Circle Line. It was a heavy downpour after Janelle swimming lesson. Strong wind + rain but the kids had raincoat with protect them from it. Best of all, the umbrella was all for myself. The kids enjoyed walking in the rain as well as the train ride home.

Reading and Pizza

Image
Julian has been reading every night and there are a few books that he likes very much. Dinner - it is about a mother bringing the kids out to supermarket to get ingredient to make pizza. After finished the book, he asked if I could make pizza for dinner as well. His expression was so cute and pitiful. Should we make pizza this coming weekend?

Mother's Day Celebration with Jellio & Jubilee

Image
Law brot us to Marina Square for dinner + celebrating Mother's Day. We spotted Waraku Curry Restaurant and that is one of the shortest queue among the rest. After enqury abt the spicy level of the curry for the kids, we decided to give it a try. They have 3 level of spicy-ness so we chose the hottest and the kids both got the same set of kid's meal that come with mango fuzzy drink, egg omelette rice, 1/2 hotdog, 1 fried ebi, 1 small piece of fried chix, mango pudding and a bowl of curry sauce which is not spicy at all. We asked the kids to taste the sauce before adding into their rice. I have specially warned Janelle not to mention curry to Julian as he is old enough to associate CURRY == SPICY. We just told him it was brown sauce. He said the sauce was nice and added a few spoonful to his omelette rice. He finished all the rice and some hotdog. I had seafood omelette curry rice while Law ordered a seafood curry rice. We ordered Janelle favourite drink - ice lemon tea and w...

Mother's Day present

With the help of the teachers, the kids all returned home with their special thots to show me. Julian made a pots of flowers and Janelle threw me a card. Thanks my dearest!

Shopping Saturday

Image
I think I miss the time spending alone with each kid. Sometime I only get to do with when Law needs to work on weekend. So happen that Law need to work, and MIL volunteer to help me to take care of Julian so I dun have to lug two kids all the way to Tampines for Janelle lesson. Yes, it can be quite tiring for me, specially the noon at the pool with one kid, it is much easier too. Since Julian doesnt tag along, Janelle suggest we go Tampines One for lunch after her swimming lesson. She has craving for Omu rice with two sauces. So I ordered one set for her. We are both lucky cos there is a promotion going on and both of our set only cost $6.50 each. With that we both end up with greentea ice-cream that is $1 each. I have grilled salmon fish head set. It is really good and cheap. After lunch, we head to Uniqlo for clothes. Janelle was really helpful as she was helping me to look for nice long thigh for my trip. I spotted a promotion on denim skirt which cost only $9.90. Guess, they are...

Korean style Mother's Day Dinner with 3 mummies

Image
Mother's day is here again. A day worth celebrating but can be expansive for a celebration. Becos Law is going to work on weekends, it is quite impossible to cook so we decided to have the celebration early with my mum. Wanted to bring mum to try more authentic Korean food after my wonderful encounters at Kim Family Restaurant but we ventured our tastebud to the Korean Restaurant ard Katong and East Coast. After a few search, I booked JangShou Korean Restaurant when I arrived I realised it was a pure BBQ dinner that doesnt have any a la carte dishes I wanted. I wanted to order Ginseng Soup for my mum so I cancelled the table and walked over to Ju Shin Jung Korean Restaurant instead. The BBQ buffet is cheaper and they also have Ginseng Chix that I wanted. Faith was very nice to check with her Korean's friend which one worth going and her friend recommended Ju Shin Jung if I wanna try the Ginseng Soup so we ended up there. Fortunately there was available table as I didnt make any...

Transformer Boy

Image
Julian is a big fan of Transformer, all thanks to Law. Daddy introduce the HERO to my boy and Julian can watch the Transformer movie over and over again, as you know, he will never get sick of it. On top of that, Shu shu doesnt help much by getting him the toys. Now, at the age of barely 4, he has a good collection of Transformers which I do not wish to work out the amount spent on it. Just Sunday, due to my shopping motive to get a good Tempur pillow and have to spend $50 before I could buy the pillow for $139. I end up spending $71 to get a Optimus Prime a Trio color pens for Janelle. Now he has a baby Optimus Prime and a Brother Optimus Prime. I just heard from Law that his Shu shu is getting him a Daddy Optimus Prime.

Cheese Bread

Image
I borrowed a very good bread making book recently, I have tried two bread and they came out fantastic. Yesterday I did another bread, instead of butter and sugar I added Cheddar Cheese and Sugar for the kids. I also added orange zest into the bread. I passed some to Lilian's ger Charlene to try, althot I knew Ashley (Lilian's Friend Vanessa ger) was there but I was too pai seh to let her try cos I'm not sure if the mother mind or the kid will like it. Lilian said Charlene and Celeste liked it and she shared some with Ashley. The little ger was so upset and thot why I did not like her as she had nothing. I am so insensitive, should have thot about how the little ger felt. I better make up to her this weekend. That's give me a good reason to make again. My final proving. The dough prove very well. I topped 6 buns with cheese and 3 with butter and sugar. The bread is texture is also good.
