只为那份笑声而屈服

Image
哥哥,我们来玩摔跤。嘢,啊,啊啊啊。。。 力气比翰宝宝还大的和大哥还是敌不过小翰宝宝。因为大人都太想得到他的注意了。 就让他赢吧,我们的目的只是想听他的笑声。

Spending time with mum and sisters

Must do this often.  Leaving hubby n kids and have good food with mum n sisters.

Dim Sum at Bukit Indah

Image
Making a quick trip to JB to settle something. Law suggested dim sum breakfast. I didn't take note of the resturant name. It was quite crowded, we see local and Singaporean having breakfast there. Dim sum ok, however the kway tiao soup was yummy. We we're quite full and after settled our errand we head to Aeon to grab the milk powder for Skyler n head home. 

Papa using his hands

I enjoying pple preparing meal for me especially from Law. I requested him to make sushi for us again, however he wasn't good at preparing the ingredients so I got all done and he will roll the sushi for us. I must said he was quite good at it even though it was his 2nd time doing it.  I reinvented the Korean rice cake recipe and it taste better than the traditional one one YouTube. We also have cold noodles and salmon belly and miso soup. Yum yum.. 

Baby on the loose

Weekends are all about looking after Skyler. He brings us alot of joy as well as work too. He loves making jie jie n kor kor sharing their drink with him or simply demand for their drinks.  Although he can be handful but we love watching him exploring and developing to his next milestone. Best part is I have no stress from people trying to compare his milestone with the rest of the peer. 

Exercising

Image
It was late, 9pm for a jog but if none of us kick start this will not happen so I insisted to go for my walk and the two followed.  I am so much far behind the 2 because I am doing my walking. Janelle's pace was good and sturdy. Luckily I have her to accoy her daddy as I can't jog. However, walking is much more substantiable, when they stop n rest I caught up with them soon and I dun pat so badly. More to come. 

I look younger now

I felt so regret after I perm my hair so I went back to Danny for help and he did some cut for me although I wanted it chopped off but he didn't want to me to waste it cos I just did it during CNY.  Still I dun like it because they perm is so coarse and I really hate the texture. I take leave today because Julian has elearning and need to access to computer. After he completed his work, I packed him back to in law place and rush to do my errands. Facial, bank and one of them is the salon. I told Danny I wanted it chopped off. I wanted my smooth hair back and thankful he understands and I was bounded 3hr of rebond and cut. 3hrs is not very long, I hsve hears even longer. This is rebonded but Pre touch up stage.  Final touch is slightly shorter but I am happy with my managable hair now. It goes super well my Skyler too. My hair is super flat now although I told Danny not to make it so flat. I guess it will take a few washes to get some volume back 

Medical checkup

Image
After fasting for 10 hrs, I was so hungry and u can't wait for it to be done. Luckily the clinic has food for patients and I can eat after taking my blood test while waiting for the doctor to call me. 4 small slices of sandwiches is not enough for me. I am heading to Tangling mall for a good early lunch later. There is nothing to eat at Tangling mall so I took a bus to Wheelock place and try out the Vietnamese restaurant NamNam.

My nana bread

Image
My FIL will always give me some banana if he bought a big bunch. The last round Law threw away the banana because it was too ripe but since it turned too soft n nobody like to eat I am waiting for it to turn even sweeter so I can used it for baking but Law threw it away withoit checking with me. This time he makes sure he asked me if I have other plans for these Nana before he took action. Haha.. of course I took him dun touch them. I wanted to make banana chiffon but I failed last round and since I did so much cooking on Saturday​ I just wanna have a rest but these Nana can't wait for another day and I picked up some simple recipes for them. I came across this Starbuck alike banana bread which the giver said was good. I wondered how the texture is going to be since it was a BREAD but the method n ingredients are more for a cake. Why do they call a cake a bread instead?  I have 5 bananas left. I actually wanted something with chocolate because Nana goes well with cocoa so I...

Laksa day

Image
We all craving for Penang laksa and I told Law we are cooking on weekends. I picked myself up as early as 6:30am to rush down to my.market for the fish. I want to book the fish so not to fight with the crowd later. I told the fish monger i will be back to collect my fish later. I took a train with my shopping trolley to Tekka market. I like to go there as I can get most of the Penang laksa ingredients. Of course and a kg of fresh hum to share with my mum, sister and BIL. There was much work to be done, as the laksa required me to debone the fish, mashed it to cook the soup. The soup are made of the fish soup from cooking the fish before I debone it, the Assam slices, Assam juice, belachan, laksa leave, mint leave, chilli, sugar and salt.  The end product looks like this. I pack a box for Mary who couldn't make it cos Meryl was sick and Viven who is my long time laksa supporter will always get a box of laksa from me. Thanks her for helping me to send the laksa to Mary too. ...

A quick getaway

Swimming day

Image
Janelle suggested to go swimming and we really did not go dipping in the pool for quite sometime. Took me a while to find the swimsuit I got. Apparently, I have it pack nicely but I just couldn't Rbr where I kept it. Luckily I found it! He does look cute on his new swimsuit. This little boy is felly cranky for thw whole day and notjing seem to please him so we decided to get out of the house. He enjoyed the water time but the pool water was quite chilling although no rain today. Everyone was so hungry after the swim so we walled over to White Sand for dinner. We all end up at Ajisan restaurants and Janelle n I had the rice set so Skyler can eat. I told them not to put the curry sauce intoy rice. After that we dropby a bingsu outlet for dessert. Still dun find it as nice as ice lab. 

Sick day lunch

Image
Coughing and coughing for 2 weeks and there is no sign of improvement. Doctor said I must rest so i was given 2 more days of MC again to rest at home. Was sleeping like a log the 1st day due to the effect of the medicine and I even sleep through my lunch. 2nd days was better and I am able to cook some simple dishes for myself. 

Understand my brother

Image
Pass me egg and flour and I can whip up diff dishes but if u pass me a sewing machine and cloth I am lost in the fabric jungle. I got this sewing gadget many many month back. The motive was to mend anything tears and if possible some simple sewing. The promoter gave me a simple step to thread my machine but I dun know where I misplaced that so I step through the manual slowly which the aunty promoter told me harder to understand.  I go through them pages by pages and manage to thread my bobbin then the upper threading of my machine. Wow I am very proud of myself, since I go through one by one I actually have deeper impression and remember the steps better. I manage to mend a tore pillow case. 

My ang chao on 8th days

Image
Can see the fermentation going on? This is how it looks after 8 days.  Mum reminds me to stir it and open the pail once a while to let it breathe. I can smell the wine. 

Too cute

Steal this from Janelle WhatsApp profile picture, it is way too cute.

CA1 result

Image
The CA test had over for more than a week and JanElle got her results back slowly and today she showed me an overall CA progress report. I must say that she really did quite well and she is really very hardworking putting in effort to complete her work daily. Although she used to have HCL training during primary tuition but the HCL is still very tough for her. English is getting harder too and fortunately she fought her battle well. She took up the responsible to train well in her CCA although it was not her 1st choice. We see her putting in all the effort, even take note of the game rules. With such determination to do well we decided she deserved a new pair of netball shoes for her training. She is never a greedy person, she only asked for a comfortable sport shoes and not the latest, trendiest or most expansive model. As a parent although we wanted to give her all the best but we need her to gain through progression. She will have.an entry level netball shoes 1st till she neede...
