Homecook

Last year, when we started the year of 2013 with a brand new togetherness - one family finally staying together under one roof, 3 children going to primary school, half day care, working mummy rushing back for the family, non stop housework, school homework.. Most of the time, we packed foods for weekday dinner.


This year, with one year adapting to this hectic schedule, now we are settling down. So children have time for tv, comics.. Mummy has some time..


..for church ministry..


..trying new recipe..


.. grow plant too


Trying my best to prepare breakfast for children, sometime it is just a cup of hot milo/horlicks with oat/nestum. For weekend, I prepare some fancy breakfast - to attract laogong too! :p



This is breakfast for my children and lunch for myself. We have salmon spread + black olive sandwich in the baguette - a long thin loaf of French bread. Normally we get the baguette at rm 2-5 in hypermarket, for the round, I got it at rm0.25. What a big saving huh! Lately I do my grocery shopping at tesco with laogong and children, normally we drop by the bakery section to grab the special promotion bread varieties :p wise wife right? ^0^

So normally I do next day dinner preparation after I wash all the dishes and clean the dining room.


For the next day dinner - eg taufu porridge


Keep this in the fridge. The next day morning, set the timer to cook porridge/rice to cook after 11-12 hours.


So when children reach home, take bath, mummy get the dinner ready..


Sometime if mummy take longer time to prepare the food, children eat some junk stuff too >_<


Prayer together and eat together ^^


Sometime sis and baby shyuan join us too! Not all the meal sis joining us, although I prepare for her too. Sometime sis wants to go out have a quiet moment with shyuan for nicer food + dessert to gain more weight. Oppss! To release stress and reward herself :D


Sometime, I bring some simple stuff to the office as lunch too. Enjoy the quiet moment in the office :)

Today is 20feb, been cooking dinner for most of the weekday since new year of 2014, although sometime it is just a tin mackerel fish in chilli sauce, often we have soup to drink, hot meal served and harmony dinner hours :)

Hope this can be continued so we can have more happy moment together and eat what we feel to eat and try to eat healthier by adding in more natural food ingredients to the meal :)



'I love you, you love me, we are happy family~'

Magnetic love

Just got a gift from my officemate
Souvenir from korea.





Been not picking up this souvenir for months. Just now when I got it, attracted by the red packing bag :)

Feel happy with the though as we were not so closed officemate.





I got this from the office mate from the previous japan trip ^^ feeling is great when you were remembered.

Today, I got this.





"God is Love" came in my mind when I saw the gift! Seldom see people prepare religious gift unless you are sure the receiver will like the gift as well as the religion.

This is from a muslim's colleague. God's love make us respect people's believe and belief.






Will continue to look for a nice heart catching cross ring for myself in my upcoming travel trip ^^ gambatte!

Simple moment

Last sunday, we went back to sgbuloh to dc31 and my in law house.



Main purpose for this trip was to send the ceiling fan to dc31.



My boy helps much in the household stuff now :)


Hopefully very soon I can sit down and relax goyang kaki (day dreaming :p)


Grandchildren of my parents in law ^^


Like the flower background


Royee loves baby! Especially to nephew Jen eu and song song


Royee didn't want to let go the little brother once he got the boy. Hope royee can be a good father in the future with his caring heart :)


Royee had a walk with grandpa in the evening..


When dad in law came down from his room he asked me 'do I look smart?' Hehe my reply was 'wah~'


We dropped by 2nd brother in law house too


They shared the calligraphy art piece that brought back from china. Laogong was trying to read all the words ;)

1 big family went out for dinner. Sitting with my mum in law and we chit chatting. Simple gathering that made up quality meet up. Love the smile of satisfaction on everyone faces ^^

Feb updates

Hi good day! How are you doing? Today I am feeling good! Many things are in my mind, many plans are on my hands, many wish list in the record :D


Got a hair cut last Saturday. Somehow I prefer short hair. Less feminine but feel easy with this hairstyle ^^



With the new commitment and ministry in the church, simple hairstyle make me more cute! Hahaha above pic shown myself and my class - Joy students. We just got new name tags, 6 students for standard2 chinese class, 1 was late not in the pic. You can see my angels are in my class too. We have 3 teachers in this class, most of the classes having 2 teachers.

Day in day out busy with office work and housework, so when I get myself serving and involved in Church ministry, feel recharged ^^ upcoming I will be together with other teachers prepare Easter Day celebration and mid year school holiday vocational bible camp. From the children and activities, we learn too. Learn to smile more, more aggressive, brave and the best, stay young! Hehe

When I go to the class with my children, when we do Sunday school homework together, when we have more common topics to chat about, I see my relationship closer with my children. I know more about them when I see them hanging around with friends or I receive feedback from their teachers.


I got more photos in action..


I can see my children world..


I can see my children growth :)

Don't you think this is the great present for a parent? :) I thank God for this blessing. Upcoming we will learn guitar together, we will attend Tambourine and dancing classes too! Looking forward for camping together, learning together ^^



Today is Monday. Will maximise time slots for this week, at home and at work, then I can take 'whiteout'! Yes, will be on my 1st flying for year of 2014 ^^



Wearing for syiok sendiri photo snapping only. Parka jacket and luggage in purple for my mum :)



Have a flower blossom best week ahead!

Siblings

At pavilion, suddenly children stopped at the walkway after watching the lion dance.


I stopped them from blocking the walkway but they ignored me..


Then I got to see angel's beautiful smile


I heard their laughters ^^


I said you were smart, knew who to carry. If you carried royee gogo then 2 girls hands would be broken ^0^


Then enjoyed it. Angel's hand weakness became the good point here.


See trustworthy


See the siblings love


For this view, I feel 3 children are not many :)


They are triple blessed gifts from God ^^

Child of blessing, child of promise, love's creation, love indeed! Fresh from God, refresh our spirits, into joy and laughter lead.

Child of joy, our dearest treasure, God's you are, from God you came. Back to God we humbly give you, blessing you in Jesus' name.

Child of God, your loving Parent, learn to know whose child you are. Grow to laugh and sing and worship, trust and love God more than all.
