Tuesday nite

just after the raya buka puasa dinner from kl Hilton hotel. I am full!



today lunch- energy porridge mix + carrot + sweet corn + scallop + sugar. it tastes great! then tea time we have red bean + pulut hitam ^_^ starting falling in love with the simplicity of the food/soup taste.

in the train, can't wait to see bbb. miss them much. slowly royee is attaching to me, last nite he himself requested to sleep with me, pack all his stuff in my room n sleep with smile :)

funny nite~

Eva was sleeping.. these 2 bb were still active. royee teach me his class year end performance steps, do I do exercise with him. then angel shared her stories. few photos taken before I get them to sleep.





angel: mummy, where is my mouth? snap a new pic


aiya very blur.. the final one is nice, but I accidentally deleted it :( facebook has it.






royee told me, teacher said if we performance well for the year end ceremony, then she will give us pop corn to eat. then I said 'hah, u practice hardly because of the popcorn la, not because u want to show it to papa n mama la' no la, teacher promised this by her own, we didn't request for it, got it? ^_^ 'ok la, tell your friends to practice good good, mama will make them cake or cookies, u want cake or cookies?' anything la, power rangers cake will do.

hmmm up to me to decide, but 'power rangers cakes' will do :p sound like so easy going..

super hungry :(

am super hungry now 20:10 can't wait to reach home n have my dinner! mama just called, she telling me she asked my Digo to buy me fried carrot cake n tau fu fa. hmmm I am now a bit giddy coz feeling too hungry. a long journey to go :(


today mama's homecook lunch. very delicious


officemate made - 7 mixed beans + black sesame + sugar

guess that I am going to stay back late for this week for month end closing. need to prepare backup food in the office, or else I tak larat to drive back home. oh!!! Tuesday n Thursday I have buka puasa dinner at hotels oooo. don't need backup food then :p

buy now, am feeling so hungry :(

aisteru

hmmm laogong going back home, me still in the office working hmm...

improvement :)

last nite royee was sleeping when I reached home. normally he waits for me to check his homework. since last nite can't make it, so this morning I get him to complete all his homework before going to the kinder.



he colour the picture nicely. although the sun is not suppose to be black, the hen shouldn't be blue. compare to the previous colouring n effort he put in, this is good :) so I given him a shining LOVE as an encouragement ^_^



when I checked the 2nd work book, this is much better! right colour for the picture :D n from the photo frame picture, I know he put in effort in the colouring, so, another shining love from mummy :D royee was so happy :)



this is what I designed for royee's class teacher. a lovely teacher who take good care of royee this naughty boy ^0^ this pic is a print screen from my iPhone, so it is a bit cacat. plan to print it out n give a copy to the teacher. a appreciation note to thank her very much :)

organic tea break

ya, we went out for lunch yesterday n today, something more filling, n we have our organic healthy tea break.


Thursday - red bean + black sesame + sugar. this is smooth n yummy!! really great taste, nice to serve it warm.


same as above, in different mug. colleague said everyday I post the pic in black mug, can't see it nicely :p but this pic taken angle not good, can see the texture of the yummy dessert :p
Friday! we have orange, apple, carrot, celery juice. this is nice :) shall do it for bbb to help them taste more vege n fruits.

taking train now, tonight I am not going back to bkt31, tomolo need to attend prize giving ceremony at kinder - for angel n eva :)



the invitation slips from the kinder. drawing competition.

when ppl told u..

this is the story..

hmm.. my opinion in this case is, we shouldn't punish the kid when we didn't witness the happening. what ppl told us can be the true story, but they might not know the reason behind of the negative behaviour. maybe, our kid wants to tell us the true feeling or actual story. but are they given the chance to do so?

1st, when we listen to ppl story the we punish our kid, then the kid might have 2 thought - mummy trust other ppl n hurt me; the CCTV (the story teller) sells me. trustworthy seems to be challenged.

2nd, why don't we 1 to 1 talk to the kid, let her has the chance to voice out her feeling n why she wanted to do naughty stuff? dislike something? hate someone? this is the great chance for us to know our kid feeling n inner heart, n at the same time, we get bonding, the kid feel the respect n care from the mummy n understand mummy feeling - sad, hurt when they are naughty.

3rd, in the future, the kid will get smarter, avoid CCTV when acting bad, so no story for CCTV to tell the mummy, so mummy won't punish me. as parent, we will slowly lose story from outsider about what our children doing when we r not around. then slowly, we lose the connected connection.

there is always some reason for children to act naughty, some reasons are acceptable n in fact, they are doing good thing, but the outcome seem to be negative to us.

eg pour a cup of water for granny who is coughing, accidentally the kid break the cup, n all mess up. if we come in at this stage, we might say 'how many times I told u don't come here n play with water? u see!' then the kid being canned.

well what I am trying to say is, when our children doing naughty at outside, we might lose face, feel embarrassed. but don't lose children trust to us, don't let them feel parents are not approachable, parents don't trust n understand me. try not to lose the chance for children to share with us any happy or sad stories, n even naughty ideas! sometime naughty ideas = creative thinking. don't u think so? as long as we don't hurt ppl n our own then it should be fine.

when my parents or brother complain to me how naughty my baby did when i was not around, how serious they punish them, I always bring my kid to the room, lock the door, switch off the light, let baby sit on my lap, n start the one to one heart talking counselling session. if the child being canned, I apply healing cream on the small wound, n tell the baby, this must be very hurt, mummy's feeling hurt too, u shouldn't do this, n try not to give chance for others to hurt your body by being a good baby. u should protect yourself. sometime, u get this 'mummy, I was naughty lo, so grandma get angry, I go to say sorry to grandma ya' :)

we would prefer our boss to talk to us, listen to us, before the boss downgrade us right? :p ya, mid year performance evaluation time, today is my 1-1 session :)

good luck mummies~

tue or wed?

am still recalling today is Tuesday or Wednesday har? should be wednesday, coz I joined the cooking class in tuesday? never mind la, don't need to bother much :p left few hours more for today hehe..

today lunch



the energy power porridge - mixture of grains actually. it taste ok naturally, so no salt or sugar added. I suggest to add in few scallops, it would be taste better then it won't be this plain. may try it next time with ikan bilis or scallops.



after the hot porridge, we have organic dragon fruit. a silly question, dragon fruit is not white in colour? coz normally I eat white isi de, n try few organic dragon fruits, all pink colour de. stupid question I asked to myself, organic dragon fruit different colour? :p different species kot.

in fact, I have many stories to post n share, but these few days am a bit busy with all sort of reporting n mid year performance evaluation. anyway, I am feeling good :) beautiful day to me everyday, feeling children love much much much :*

day before I saw very beautiful rainbow at putrajaya. I shared with Eva about the rainbow, she looked disappointed, she said 'now is dark night, of course i cant see rainbow la :( ' this is something I can't cheer her up immediately by giving her a rainbow to see, I hope 1 day soon we can spotted a rainbow together ^_^




God is LOVE :)

organic lunch

officemate brought a maker n we started the organic lunch plan :) they have their diet plan too, monitoring the weight everyday, I didn't join them, coz what I need is to eat n live healthy, KG is not so important now. if body healthy, I guess that my weight would be slowly going down :p lazy ppl theory hehe..



this is the maker. made in china. rm500+



with these functions - cool n hot, for beans, fruits, vege, rice..



this is our day1 meal: 10-rice, pumpkin, almond, walnut. I like the nuts taste ^_^



2nd day lunch: mushroom, potato, carrots, black pepper with charcoal bread. can add in salt, it is nice to eat without salt, u can taste the natural sweetness. I like it without salt.



3rd day lunch: azuka bean, pulut hitam, sugar. this is thick n filling, a cup each with the fried meehoon twin sharing ^_^

feeling good to have a gang of frens preparing food n eat together. cooking ideas sharing, home stories sharing, patenting tips n of course, tiny slots for gossiping :p

they asked me to continue don't give up, in fact, what I am being bothered is my another Malay lunch gang friendship, if I everyday eat with this group of organic friends, then pula I miss my Malay gang friends.

about the food, maybe ppl thinking I am big size n always fancy about all those yummy n high flavour taste, in fact, My food intake is quite simple, drink tea without sugar, eat plain porridge with only marmite, no ice cream, no susu pekat, mostly on warm plain water only, no milo no coffee. very rare chance of eating red meat, mostly fish, chicken now also reduced, only take chicken breast, can't take the meat taste. I bake cakes n cookies, but I seldom eat them :p

met a nutritionist once, she checked all my daily food intake n like n dislike, she said 'your food intake is good! but why u r heavy weight?' ya... this is the question lo.. maybe, my food quality is good, but my food quantity is heavy :D kakakaka..

btw, I am planning for a specialist visit, my stomach or colon or whatever organs in my tummy need to be checked, the uncomfortable symptom getting worse especially at nite, bloated like 7mth pregnancy :(

I am sailing

I am sailing, I am sailing,
Home again cross the sea.
I am sailing, stormy waters,
To be near you, to be free.

I am flying, I am flying,
Like a bird cross the sky.
I am flying, passing high clouds,
To be with you, to be free.

Can you hear me, can you hear me
Thro the dark night, far away,
I am dying, forever trying,
To be with you, who can say.

Oh lord, to be near you, to be free.

sang this song many many times in today journey to the train station. shall teach bbb this beautiful nice song :)

when a child is born

heavy rain, stuck in the jam, journey back to home. listening to ch-yi's 'when a child is born' patiently wait for my turn to reach home :)
-----

A ray of hope flitters in the sky
A shiny star lights up way up high
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A silent wish sails the seven seas
The winds have changed whisper in the trees
And the walls of doubt crumble tossed and torn
This comes to pass when a child is born

A rosy hue settles all around
You've got the feel you're on solid ground
For a spell or two no-one seems forlorn
This comes to pass when a child is born

(Spoken)
And all of this happened
Because whe world is waiting
Waiting for one child
Black, white, yellow, no one knows
But a child that would grow up and turn tears to
laughter
Hate to love, war to peace
And everyone to everyone's neighbour
Misery and suffering would be forgotten forever

It's all a dream and illusion now
It must come true, sometimes soon somehow
All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

All across the land dawns a brand new morn
This comes to pass when a child is born

When a child is born

妈咪，我不是在睡觉，我是在charge电。

妈咪，你等我起来你才出去，我先去charge电,我要没有电了。

妈咪，我肚子痛！我刚才吃了一些菜。机器人是不可以吃菜的。

等一下，我先去加油，你们去玩，我一下子过去。

我转一下这个音量钮，好了，我可以唱大声了。

creative bang-srei

came back from 15082010 Sunday school, I got this..





different ways of folding up my bed quilt by maid sister. I smiled when I saw this :) yup, it might not that special, but it is different idea from ordinary ways she did it. I like to see this, same case when I see my office cleaner use their own creativity to make up the pantry or deco to breakout area. I like to see creativity in daily routines. this inspired me!

my maid sister getting much better, started following out steps n daily routines. like her attitude n I hope this continues. work performance is not 100% but good attitude wins ppl hearts ^_^

simple thought

got this out from the busy but easy friday working hours..


ya I found my hair getting longer, n I always think to cut it short. in the office, few ppl tells me I look better with long hair. sis also tells the same, n she wants we to be in long hair in her wedding. so I make up my mind, no matter how itchy hand is, I will only cut my hair short after my sis wedding :)

that day when angel lay down next to me, 'mummy, your hair is long, you are beautiful' her voice soft n clear, it feels sweet ^_^ now royee likes to sit behind me when i watch tv or reading book, then he touches my hair, comb the hair with his fingers, smell it, trying to tight the hair. my maid always smile when looking this. my heart feels sweet n loved! how nice it is, when mummy is in the boy's eyes n heart. (hoh... if laogong can do this, how nice it is...)

today is a sweet Friday the 13th, I just feel good today. I am a Friday 13th baby, n today is my officemate doreen's bday. bought something for her, I always want to do this, now I have a chance to thank her. a caring auntie to me (she definitely will get angry for 'auntie' this word :p) I always tell my mama, Doreen in my mama in the office, a caring big sister to me ^_^




Doreen, happy birthday ya!!

Eva is pregnant!

got the photos from kinder fb, cute n funny!


my Eva with her big belly. when I look at this, I got the 'shock' feeling, ya pregnant at this young age can cause mummy faint :) just hoping my gal gal can protect themselves n get pregnant at the right age with right ma.


I love this pic, the gal is so sweet with the smile n feel as a happy pregnant mummy ^_^ like the idea of letting children feel how mummy feels when carrying the baby :)


time for the boys experience how papa help out n do in the daily life. cute children ^_^


I like thus sunny boy, cute neh! the main purpose I keep this picture is - look at the background gals, my Eva is sitting with her legs opened widely la @_@ adoi..

sometime I really wish I can stop my office work n be a kinder teacher. learn n grow with the children, they are innocent, simple, I go to the kinder n be a gardener, spreading all the happy seeds, fill the garden with laughter :D

October coming..

October is a busy n special month to my family, bbb bday n my wedding anniversary. these weeks I been thinking what bday cake designs for bbb, bday gifts? hmmm..



this is what Eva looking for.. she dreams about it by holding the toysrus promotion catalogue!



angel prefers this...



.. or this. now we can know these 2 gals like n dislike ^_^

seen these pic from kinder Facebook, love them so much!



busybody gals :p cute hands


posing.. love to see the sisters attach together naturally :)



this is interesting! wonder what was happening n these 2 gals ini macam :p

angel told me 'cecelia's bday cake is a hello kitty cake'



'my cake is barbie doll cake' hmm this hint is so obvious huh, I need to buy them barbie doll cake? :p

royee said this when I was companying him to do his homework 'mummy, my friend is so pity. his papa didn't buy him a birthday cake, he came to school no cake no gift, very pity' did u all sing birthday song for him? 'ya, we sing birthday song, but in his bag only books n pencil case n colour pencil, no cake no gift' maybe his mummy n papa busy, forget about his birthday? 'how come his mummy can forget de? mummy u didn't forget our birthday de ma' maybe the papa n mummy celebrate the birthday at home with cake n gift ler 'no.. he is pity, he has nothing, he is poor'

hmmm.. I got 2 points in my mind after this conversation. 1st, to a child, remember children birthday n celebrate is a must. royee just can't accept a mother can forget the children birthday; 2nd, bday cake design n celebration in the school is a child wish list n they are waiting for their turn to cut the cake.

i remember this answer from royee, when I asked him what bday cake he wants on his bday 'mummy bake nice cake for u ok?' 'har? your cake the small small one each one get one de ar? don't want la, I want a big cake with cream de, I want to cut cake, I want long long train de'

because of bbb expectation, mummy is busy thinking how to wow the children on their birthdays n keep everything within my budget. don't want to disappoint them, n don't want to spoil them too.

time

时间,

真是一件最奇妙的东西,
对小孩而言,时间就是关爱;
对年轻人而言,时间就是知识;
当你堕入爱河,时间就是浪漫,
当你投身社会,时间就是金钱;
当你步入暮年,时间就是生命……
时间,
就如同身体内的杆细胞,
随时适应,随时配合,
随时为我们服务.
没有它,什么也变得毫无意义.
珍惜每一分每一秒.

got this message from my mama. hmm true very true, 'time' brings different meaning to different stage of ages. what we can do is, treasure each moment.

this morning I got a thought that I have decided to make it as a plan n then habit. I want to set invisible time table, to train my children to live in a healthier lifestyle. from there, parents get benefits too by practicing the balanced life.

I want to include exercise time slot, outing program, travel plan, indoor activities, quiet moment, spiritual time.. in children daily time table. if we as parents don't give up n don't be stingy to share the time with children, guess that we can have more positive mindset bbb. I really hope for that. when the time they don't want to follow papa n mama, I hope that what we have done for the children, will bring good influence to them.

as a mother, I am learning new experience n knowledge everyday :) more creative ideas to guide children, personal parenting tips, to think of ways to keep nice childhood memories for them.

ya.. time.. what I need is time n LOVE!

by angel n eva

yesterdays..

wonder why, I non stop thinking back my old days. I feel to read back my primary n secondary school autograph album. those private published diaries n books, so eager wanted to read them. want to go back my banting'80 small room - my private paradise, recall my yesterdays memories.

now, I wish to read back my school time Chinese essay n Malay karangan - I want to read what was my opinion on 'pendatang asing' the advantage n disadvantage. feel to see photos that I wore my school uniform.

many many more... those letters from my best friends, from closed guy friends, from special friend, from oversea net friends.. I want to look back my 1st day cover collection - msia sepang f1 opening n UK 2000 millennium collection. my stamp albums, my bookmark collection, my school time annual book that edited by me n a group of ajk.

the feeling is so strong, till I can't fall asleep, till I want to get all these things stay in front of me now. till I.. feel to take a day off from working so I can walk along the journey.. memory lane.. this strong feeling, worried me. why? why all out of sudden.. why? I am feeling scared now.. hmm

the below post is 1 of the posts I post in chc co-blogs few years back (2006? 2007?) got this in my fb mailbox yesterday. chc asked 'can post this out?' thanks him for reminding me about this post, I love it much. I repost it in my fb. feel to keep a copy for all the posts that I blog in his blog. the posts in the blog, is more to my feeling deep in my heart, I love them - a place for me to voice out my inner me. maybe I can get chc to send me a copy :)
