Jellio Jubilee Sky

This CNY we have alot of visitation to do. With toddler Skyler, we get busier and more interesting.  This is our yearly affair to visit our secondary teachers. As years goes by, there are more kids, the children grown up, we grow older and so are our teacher. 

Going to 姑婆 house for Chinese New Year visit. She is FIL's sister and from 10 years ago we have being going over her place for CNY gathering. We are not as close comparing to MIL's side but it is nice to see the relatives. My handsome son is all dressed up to go collect angbao.  There is another baby who is just one month younger than Skyler. We have them place side by side for a photo shot. When I post it up on FB, many told us they looks so alike. 

Dinner never going to be cheap and taste better during Chinese New Year but happy to see my Primary school dear friends. Although we did manage to find a few of the primary school mates but not many can make it for the gathering. Some are living oversea and only coming back during CNY. Many have done well and I am happy for them. 

Gongxi Fa Cai.  It is the 1st day of CNY and I usually prepare breakfast for the family. Eggs come in handy for breakfast all the time. I'm using the breadmaker to make a Hokkaido milk bread for breakfast so the kids are having, ham, eggs, jam and bread. A simple and quiet breakfast to start the new year. Before leaving for visitation, we get the kids to wish Happy Chinese New year to us.  On our way to great grandmother place on 1st day of Chinese New Year. 

This year I took 3 days of leave to stay at home to clean up the house together with marketing as well.  This is really good as I can pack my food neatly now. This the best time to use my Eiffel vacuum pack device to pack my food. I always store my fridge with enough eggs for the family.  I have 3 woks in my kitchen, however they are too big and heavy for small amount of cooking. My kmart wok coating is coming out and I need to get a new smaller wok to work with. I have being trying to get a light weight wok and wanted to do away with coated wok this time. I got this Lock & lock wok from Q10. I was thinking it was just a iron wok but when I got the wok I realised it also has a coating on it and my wok was dented during delivery. Argh... No choice. I need the wok for cooking my reunion dishes.  I didnt cook alot since BIL's family is not coming over for dinner. A few signature dishes and steamboat.  After all the cleaning up, putt...

I signed up a parenting workshop organise by school. Now sec sch parent have to work double hard. Path Janelle takes every morning So much greenary along the way.  Taking the route by my ah ger daily. Walking along the canal.  There are many side gates into the school but it was not opened. I saw two ladies taking a short path just beside the nearest gate from the route and I just followed. I believe they are also parents attending the talk. A short path

I took a day leave to really get myself to do spring cleaning. There is so much to do but I am always the one taking leave to do it. There was a pile of new clothes to wash so the kids n Law get to wear during CNY. Curtains to wash which I only do once a year.  I was thinking if I should make Ngoh Hiang this year as I never able to finish them and I still have many CBY goodies in mind that I wanna do. Do I have time? I still end up getting the pork n prawn to make Ngoh Hiang. Inbetween I make a trip to the dentist to fix my braces. Dentist make it tighter this round again and I can feel the pull sensation.  I only have time at night to wrap the meat then steam it. Just nice Viven came over to pick up the umbrella I got for them from TaoBao and I just had my 1st batch of Ngoh Hiang out of the steamer so get her to bring home some. Her dear sister bao TOH me and told Mary and my dear sister now complained about me for not giving her my Ngoh Hiang. Lol.  ...
