1608 Thursday ^^

blank for few seconds, 'today is what date ar?' time flies, just a blink of eyes, our Malay friends almost done with their fasting month. this year bulan Ramadan, I consider myself is a good girl :p coz I went to pasar puasa for 1 time. then no buka puasa hotel buffet this year coz I was on holiday for my sis's confinement. then because of my sis is in her confinement, then we do not go out and look for those attractive Ramadan meal sets :D save quite a lot and intake lesser unwanted calories hehehe :D



raya starts by this weekend. this year, am too busy in the office, tonnes of super urgent workloads coming in everyday, so today only realise, I haven't designed any raya greeting ecard as I normally do. see if I can do one in today or tomorrow to join the festive joy ^^



my yesterday steamed herbal fish is too salty. this is very seldom happen in my cooking :(



my sis make it as noodles soup, but it is way too salty, so she gave up - throw away all my morning effort :(



when I try it in the office, even I washed the fish with hot water before I heat up my lunch box, oh~ the combination is not ok.. the rice is too dry, the fish is salty, and no gravy to mix with the rice @_@ a failed meal I have to admit it :(



dinner time I brought royee to the food stalls. he ordered lemon chicken rice and I took prawn noodle. I enjoy the bonding with the boy.



I can strongly feel he is very happy to have me with him in this month. everyday he does all sort of silly dumb actions to make me laugh :D obedient boy to do whatever I instructed him to do even though he is sleepy.



he wanted to company me to sew my homework project with his half closed eyes. hmmm what a boy :)


very soon we gonna stay together everyday with angel and Eva too :)



my sis started to feel the responsibility of a mother, sacrifice for own baby. she has done a good job in fact, she handles her baby quite well. this is unexpected. since my sis is a 'baby' too :p gambatte to her, very fast, baby shyuan gonna grow up to the age of having boy friends :p



baby boy we worried they become naughty, becoming bad guy, or lazy.. baby girl have other worries too. not easy to be parents, but the joy and touch to be parents is precious :) when I receive call from my girl 'mummy~ I am angel~ I have poo poo already, no fever le' I smile in the office ^^ I am in my children hearts :)



happy Thursday! reaching station. will go for breakfast then starts my hectic office work till the evening ^^

home remedy syrup

I want to do this home remedy for coughing. look at the ingredient, we can at least control the sweetness and we know what is in the syrup. laogong is always having throat discomfort and dry cough. and he takes all this coughing syrup like drinking water @_@ so with this recipe, hope it to be more healthier choice.





5 pears, 1 lo han guo, rock ice, old ginger, 100ml honey.


add the pear and juice to clay pot, add in rock sugar and ginger


add in smashed loh han guo. boil with high heat then small heat.


after 30min, filter the mixture. the juice boil again in low heat.


when the syrup became thicker, stir it with wooden spoon. off from the fire, mix it with honey when it is warm.


take a spoonful and mix it with warm water and drink it ^^

my sis can do this, so she can have better voice to sing lullaby for baby shyuan :D

1408 tuesday

I am in mild wet. walking in the rain in the morning ^^ most of the time, I don't use umbrella in rainy day, coz not many chances for us to walk or run under the rain :)



waiting for the train. see many Malays carrying big luggages, bringing babies.. Should be back home for raya :) the feeling of family bonding is good. and of course, the traffic on the road is smoother :D



this morning I cooked bah kut teh - chicken + fish + mushroom. there is no logic in my cooking, I mix everything which I like :p



lunch box for me and royee. today I remember to get him a spoon :p



last sunday we went for sunday service in the morning. now we have new church, so the new route made us to walk more and climb more. you can take lift too. but I told my bbb, come, let's jogging before we worship God :D


'city on a hill. the community of disciples' with this mission, the church urge parents to bring children along to adult service as part of family event besides listening to the sermon ^^ as I know, children get more than this, they learn togetherness and think broader with more info they listen to.


last sunday was youth sunday too.



we have 1 pic, 1 story, 1 church project. I like this creative idea.


got to see very meaningful old photo and very precious moments captured.


see happy faces..


self acceptance and appreciation..


togetherness in God's blessing ^^


after the sunday school, while waiting for royee gogo.


ok, you got to see pretty girl not so pretty side.. angel is a messy girl @_@ laogong told my mama, when angel grows up, boys see her pretty face photo then date her out. but see her eating style and dirty faces, then there won't be the 2nd date ^0^


Eva been checking her belt or panty or don't know what..


I went to royee's class.. he was helping the teacher collecting all name tag.


yo! at last we can go back le..


there is one colleague always teasing me 'come to my house la, as long as there is a tree then your children can be monkeys there' :p


big boy and girl le.. I can handle 3 of them with no problem..


but without a man to support, I feel the missing part and loneliness..


left from the church, I brought children to the shopping mall. to buy them shoes and movie tickets..


meal before entering the cinema..


we watched ice age ^^ nice one, children got a good laugh there.. rm41 for 4 of tickets..


tired le.. from morning till the evening.. i was quite enjoying the simple outing. bbb were quite obedient :) am thinking, possible to bring them to travel farer? ^^

---
well these are the reason for the colleague teasing..






hehehe bbb like tree climbing :D



ok.. this is meant for my sis :p guess now she is snoring as she can't get any sleep at night..



'what? yi ma telling the whole world I am a naughty and cranky girl?'
