Our dinner / Leroy packing his bag for school outing.

The boy is going for school outing to Garden by the Bay tomorrow and he is super excited!
He requested to pack his bag for this trip early. Well, it is good to have this good inititative to do things early rather than last minute.
So when we reach home today, I'm busy preparing our dinner and this boy gets busy again going through items which is already in his bag and stuff in more things inside. I'm very curious what he will bring but I've no time to check his bag. After dinner I will!

Our dinner tonight!
Didi can't wait to eat so when I'm preparing the last dish, he asked for my phone and quickly take a photo of this dish as he knows I always do that. Lol!
Blurry photo and he re-take!

A close-up. Lol!

Porridge with stripes of pumpkin added, salted egg prawn, egg tofu topped with marinated minced pork and fish (korkor eaten the fish skin!)
Simple dinner for my family. =)

I don't cook everyday thus my children sometimes still eat pack food and I feel super guilty.
My cooking skill is not as good as my mum but I try do check online for some easy recipe and cook for them and when the dish turns out good, I share with my mum! =)
Before I start my own family, I don't like cooking and finds it a hassle. The mess, the smell of oil and sweat, the cleaning up, I find it really troublesome. I always think that why such a trouble? Just 'dabao' food, eat and throw! Don't even have to wash the dishes. But when it comes to a point that after starting my own family and have children, no one in the house can cook and we are without a maid(most maid will be able to cook simple dishes), will you still have the same mindset as before? Some may think, 'aiyah just order tingkat lor. Slighty better than buying from stalls' But would you rather cook healthier food that you know what's being added in the food or eat what is being cook by others and not knowing if there is 'extra ingredient' added? Can't wait for mum to stay with us at our place!

Enough of my loh-sohness! Lol




Now, let's see what Leroy pack for his outing!



Me : Why he need 2 sunnies?
Leroy : So that I can change mah.
Me : Why you bring the fork?
Leroy : I need to use the fork when I eat there.
me : *laughing hysterically*

Movie : Godzilla

Another movie date with baby boy!
I remember watching Godzilla during my primary school days which is a very popular programme during my time. If I'm not wrong, most of the popular cartoons like Tom and Jerry, Sailormoon, Ninja Turtle and Doraemon are showing on Saturday morning as well. That is the time when all me and my other 3 siblings will wake up early just to watch cartoons.
After sooo many donkey years they remake the show and bring back to the big screen and of course my boy who is dinosaur lover has been pestering us to bring him to watch. 2 thumbs up from the boy. When he is happy, the parent will too. =)

My shy baby.

When lervin is 4YO I bought a boy urinal from Qoo10 and place it right outside our toilet wall so that the boys will have easy access. Reason is to prevent them slip in the toilet as it is wet most of the time.
Recently when we are outside, he will request to go in cubical instead of using the children urinal because he said he doesn't want anyone to see him pee. It's good that he feel this way.
I hope he won't feel shy when he hugs and kisses me in public.. Thinking about that makes me feel sad..... =(

Lervin down with stomach flu.

Lervin was on absent from school last thur and fri due to stomach flu. It can get so painful till the boy needs to squat down.... Knowing how bad stomach flu can get, we brought him to a doctor and then to my mum's place to rest. He is there from thur to sun.
He is better the next day so I whatsapp my sis his weekly 听写 and ask her to help me teach him. I don't expect him to learn all as he has not fully recover. I just want him to rest and recover soon but maybe during his free time, he can learn a few like 2 or 3 words.

When I fetch him today, I surprised that he learned almost all the words! Except for the sentence which he wants me to teach him. My sis told me that both sis take turn to teach him. How blessed I am! A mum who is always there for me and siblings to play and teach them. They always prioritise my boys. =)

Pasta for dinner.

Boys requested to have pasta for dinner again.
Saying about cooking, I miss my mum's homecook so much but I can only go over every friday….
Few more months and I can eat everyday!! Yay!

Really salute their generation… Able to cook so many different type of dishes and for my mum, she can wip up something similar dish just by watching cooking programs…
I hope I can be like my mum, able to cook different delicious dish for my family. I'm slowly picking up the skill from my mum. Thinking back, I can't believe I'm cooking out of my daily busy schedule for my family. I never thought I could step in the kitchen and wip up few dishes(takes longer time than mum. =p). The smell, washing, preparing and the time spend, I rather buy takeaway. But ever since kids came along, I know they can't eat out everyday. When you have no choice, no matter how much you hate it, you still have to do. So I make the effort to learn and to cook for them. From after work, fetching the kids, teaching, housework, cooking, I did everything myself. With no help from family members or maid. From the busy schedules I have, I only have 1-2hr for myself and by then it's already 11+pm. But still seeing them eat healthy and good makes it all worth it. =)

Lervin's 1st day.

No crying and fussing when we woke him up this morning. We are thinking that's good as he didnt refuse to go school. Let didi skip class and bring him along to give korkor some support! Lol!

Took a photo of him before he goes up to the hall. The 'very uncomfortable' smile.

But when they are being led up to the hall, the boy burst out crying!! Hanging onto me and refuse to go up. I really didn't expect this....
I should have know that he is keeping to himself throughout the journey there. Perhaps he is feeling scared and worried about going to the new school... New environment, new friends. I can see he is trying to be strong and to show us he is ok. Heartpain..... Coax him and assured him that when he goes for recess, he will see us. A very kind staff help in attending to him and brought him up. The moment he walks up, I can't help but feel heartpain. My baby boy carrying a big heavy bag(hs is using trolley bag when in childcare), walking up with tissue on hand wiping the tears, turning to his back a few times to see us... Omg.... That scene is really unbearable... =(
I know this is the passing phase, but at that very point, seeing all things makes my heart shattered in thousand pieces...

2 hours to his recess and we drove out to have some food before coming back...



Recess time!


Assemble at parade square


Look at that... Canteen is crowded with parents! Some of grandma and grandpa are there too!


As the highest level in this school is only P2, the principal got some JC students to help out. But still in a mess.


Every pupil took quite sometime to buy and pay for their food even for Lervin. So cute. Lol!


















At student care.

  Today, Leroy is super nice to his brother. Helping korkor to take his bottle, clearing the food hat korkor finish, carrying his bag for him and looking out for korkor. Although he is young but he still know what he can do to make korkor feel better.

After, we went city plaza for lunch and back home. Hope tmr will be better!

Movie : 47 Ronin / Christmas Countdown

The festive that I love the most! Lots and lots of shoppings with discounts and promotions that tie in with the festive! Not forgetting the Christmas light-up and decorated shopping malls along Orchard Road often attract numerous visitors, locals and tourists alike.

In office, colleagues are all enjoying this holiday period! As our usual practice, we will be exchanging gifts and here's mine!


Hus dated me for a movie after work and this is the movie we watch.


If ever a film was in need of an honourable death and a respectful burial it would be 47 Ronin.
The design of the world is lovely, from the vivid colors to the lush costumes, fantastical creatures, and breathtaking landscapes and I specially enjoyed the drifting ground fog that takes on human shapes, while the sorceress's green dress is made to twist! Not a bad movie afterall although review is average. =)


Movie ended 11.30pm and I requested to stay for countdown and the hus agree reluctantly. Lol! He doesn't like crowded places and he worried about the jam. Hahaa! I really can't remember when is the last time we do countdown for major festive. Although it's just a short while, I'm happy!

Lervin's Graduation day!

Another milestone for my boy.
During his days here, he has grown up to be more sensible, independent, sociable and showing his care and concern to his friends. Most impt of all, he has overcome his stage fright by performing in front of his audience! Biggest milestone ever! My brave boy. =)

It is something to be proud of seeing my dear boy graduates from kindergarten but at the same time getting all emotional... He is growing up too fast... Eyes are red and tears are rolling in eyes when I see him in graduation robe receiving the certificate. Lol! I guess most mummies feel this way isn't?



Our Graduates!






















2 performances from the K2!

Finale

Homecook.

Simple homecook tonight!

Always feel guilty when my kids have takeaway for dinner. It's like me as a mum is not doing my part. Never easy being a ftwm and doing cooking and house chores after work. so whenever I cook, although its tiring after a day's work, I'm happy. At least my boys are having healthier food. =)

Passing of Grandma.

Received a very sad news early this morning.
Grandma had passed away in sleep this morning and she is 97years old this year.....
Her body has been deteroriating these years and doesn't recognise her children since 4years ago....
It's a good thing afterall as it brings an end to all her sufferings...

Lots of memories with grandma when I was young....

一路好走....

The Virus Attack

Was feeling very uncomfortable yesterday night and today I woke up with a fever and bad sore throat. Seen doc and was told that throat inflammation cause fever and I was given 2 days mc. Totally strengthless to do anything and hus has to work till late. I had to call my mum to fetch them to her place and without hesitation, she agree to help me. I was feeling really guilty as she and my dad had to travel from queenstown to my place and it is raining... but I have no one to help me. Only my own family. They are the one who won't hesitate to help me when I need someone to be there. No matter rain or shine or whether there is transport to send them here and back home. Guess what? Knowing that I had fever and no strength to even step out of the room, mum came up with a bowl of porridge and some homecook dish. I'm really very grateful for her.

Lunch with hus.

The cough virus had been circulating in my family for the past weeks. Lervin caught it first followed by Leroy then me and now hus...
It was a terrible week for me last week.. Sore throat, cough, runny nose and fever. But when I almost recover, hus caught it..
He's on medical leave today but he still come all the way to meet me for lunch which I really appreciate it. =)

没钱的那几个钟头.

In a hurry to go out and I forgotten to bring cash and atm card! I had transferred my cash and atm card to my wristlet when I went out yesterday.
So basically I'm only left with my credit cards while waiting for Lervin to finish his class.
Know that I can use CC in restuarants but I didn't want to eat alone so end up waiting for his to finish his class before we eat. So I practically spend my 1.5hrs sitting at the corner.

After we took a train to my mum's place. During the journey from Kovan to Queenstown station, both me and Lervin are standing with no one offering seats to us. I know it's not like we are really in need of the seat but at least offer to give up the seat for a child. Practically no one ask if we need it. My poor boy stand with me during the whole journey and not even a complain from him saying his legs are aching or whatsoever.

After hus finish his work he came over to mum's place and we had katong laksa for dinner at Queenway shopping centre after I said I'm craving for it. =)

I'm really one lucky woman with a hus who always try his best to give what his wife wants or request. =)

#3 ?

Since yesterday, lervin had been telling me to have a baby girl. (-.-) I'm surprise actually.. I've asked him he wants didi or meimei when I'm pregnant with #2. He say he want didi. Ok.. #2 is really didi.
I've asked lervin again which is actually out of fun, he wants didi or meimei. He gave me the same answer,"didi". Major (-.-)
Anyway I told him there's no one to look after the baby and he said excitedly that he will take care of her! Haha!! I know he loves baby a lot. In CC, teachers commented he really look after the younger kids and when we are out and he sees baby he will keep telling me that the baby is so cute! When we go for baby shower and he can stayed in the room whole day with the baby and doesn't even want to play his favourite iPhone games. I know he is a good brother. But I really have no intention to have #3.
2 is enough!!
Love them !! <3

Trip to JB

Mum insist us to place the kids at her place yesterday although we wanted to bring Lervin back. Understand that my parent and siblings miss them as we didn't go back for almost 2 weeks. So we let the kids stay there and we have our couple time. =) sometimes I really think that I'm very fortunate as I still can leave the kids in my mum's care if I have any program. Up till now, she never once reject when I ask for her help. Like few weeks ago, sis is bringing mum out for dessert and I called them last minute saying that we are going over and they cancelled their outing. They didn't even tell me they're going out until I reach there. I'm one of the lucky few..

Went for my facial at 12pm went JB for our usual activities. Reached JB at 4.45pm. First thing is to order duck meat and collect later. Really addicted to the duck meat and it's cheap!

Car wash at 'professor lee' workshop at RM 10 which is the full set wash and vacuum. Unlike sg. Most of them are charging at this rate only depend on how clean they are able to do. We do experience some using cloth which had been used zillion times and they wipe on the screen and after leaving oily patches. Personally, I think this workshop did a good job in washing and cleaning. Hus is very satisfied.

We proceed to KSL and did my classic pedicure at only RM 38! Half of what I normally paid for in sg.

While I'm doing, Hus went to Tesco to get grocery shopping for the items which my mum wants. He doesn't feel frustrated with the waiting instead he is the one who keep asking me to go and beautify myself and he will wait for me. Even for my facial. Most of the time he is the one sending me there and will be there waiting for me for 1.5hrs. =) 我是幸福的!

After my 45mins pedi, went to Arashi for dinner. I would prefer Tebrau Jusco outlet. All of this cost us RM 107.

Collected 4 boxes of duck meat, proceed to tabao loklok for sis, bought dinosaur vcd for lervin, pump petrol and we went back. They came home with this..
