the raya holiday

long weekend is over @_@ after 4days of non working day, am now looking for another long weekend. for holiday, I always craving for more ^0^
the 2 highlights for this raya cuti are outing to the klcc bookfest and engagement of my bro in law and his gf :)



brunch at kl convention center. children are always excited @outing ^^



when you have more children, eating outside might be a headache - choices and expenses. 1 prefer fish, 1 want rice don't eat noodle, 1 non stop asking for noodle, 1 want spicy, 1 want vege.. order too many, end up parents to clear the plate. for expenses, rm10 for each, 5 of us gonna spend rm50. if you go for more luxury foods, then it is more costly. so, conclusion is, parents non stop working hard to maintain the cost of living :p



waiting for papa to buy entrance tickets. done with tickets, 'mummy, I want to go to the toilet' now royee always speaks English when he wants to go to the washroom :p so before we can start entering the book fest, we need to settle many things, including the safety briefing 'if you get lost, pls come back here, see this red sign? if not, pls ask any uncle or auntie to call mama. do you know mama's number?' 3 little birds speak out my number loudly.



1st stop is the children comic. my children now likes to read this comic. the purpose of angel and Eva to this book fest is to meet up with uncle you-li - the author. we queue up. long queue of children even before the uncle author was there.



finally, we got our autograph and photo shooting. angel and Eva are happy! now I understand how my officemate feels when she always company her daughters to follow those 'stars', parents want to see children 'smile of satisfaction' after few hours of queueing up? :)



well this is another author and fan meet up. this time is royee. he bought the comic book for story of our national badminton hero dato lee chong wei. this one, no queue needed. we can get the drawing and for 2 books - royee bought 2 books. we got other goodie bags with comic posters and files. now not easy to be a comic author I guess, especially for those are just entering the market.



just a colourful board, children can spend minutes there. 1st we snap pic for angel. then we left. walked few stalls away, then see Eva in her moody face 'I want to take photo too :(' aiyo, never tell, always keeps quiet only. so we went back to the board, to make sure no return, get royee snap the pic too. macam macam ada hmmm.



when we about to start 'papa and mama books shopping' we have Winnie local singer performing the songs of theresa tang in winnie's beautiful voice. my gals are fans of all sort of in stage performance. so they sitting together with adults for the free show. papa can look around peacefully. I bought the cd too, coz I like the songs :) 2 gals got the cd signed by Winnie.



when we are leaving the book fest, we saw this Astro booth. the guy approached me, said 'you fill up this form, then we will snap a photo of your child and email the photo to you' this is interesting!



so I fill up 3 forms. there are questionnaire on the children programmes, so 1 by 1 I read and ask bbb 'do you like this program?' wahh children know all the programmes, and can tell if they like it or not. in another word, they watch tv everyday! can even tell the showing time too hmmm...



after photo shooting, children got goodie bags from Astro - notepad, stickers, pencils.. can play word games there, then get extra stickers and don't know what ting ting tong tong.. I just sitting there and wait for them to finish.. tired!



the wall stickers on honda environmental friendly car. like this advertisement. cute! can you see angel showing 'the earth'? :)



last stop at KFC. fast food only serve to my children for special occasion or not other choices situation. this time, I let them choose the big apple doughnuts or KFC. then bbb said 'long time we dont eat doughnuts.. I want doughnuts.. pls..' ok, decided to go for the big apple. suddenly, laogong asked 'so, kfc or doughnuts? who wants to go or KFC raise up your hand' guess what? 3 of them jumping up high with both hands for KFC! till now, I still couldn't explain why they beg me so pitiful on the doughnuts at the 1st place @_@



this is the posing with the malay house at suria klcc. selamat hati raya aidilfitri ya :D

well, everything seems so fine for this outing with 3 little monsters. in fact we have heart dropping moments too. children got lost @_@ 1st were angels. before that I still seeing them sitting on the floor to read their pinky princess story books. then i walked and looked around. laogong came to me and said girls were missing. I told laogong confidently, gals were reading book there. later on, again laogong came to me, 'seriously I couldn't find them!' then I walked around.. and around.. and around @_@ I asked laogong to go out to the entrance red sign, what if the gals waiting there. then I again searching for the girls, larger area to a a hall.. still couldn't find. I called laogong to inform the organiser for announcement or anything that can be helped. in my heart, other than looking around and praying for the gals safety, holding the phone tightly.. I don't know what can I do actually.



then I got call. normally I don't answer call which I don't know who. but now, each call gives me hope! I picked up the call, a lady asking me 'have you found your daughter?' this question is scary.. you are holding my girls and like asking for something.. 'I haven't found them, are my girls with you?' the lady said yes 'where are you now?' so they were in hall3 information counter. well, from hall5 to hall3 I walked quickly. at the same time I called laogong. half way walking, 'how many girls are with her? 1 or 2?' hmmm...

when I reach the information counter, I heard 'mummy~~~' thank God, I found them! 1st thing they asked me 'where are my princess books? 1 choose 3 ma..' then started crying. come on, missing not crying, because of the books they cry @_@



we got royee missing too at suria klcc when I bought cakes. he went and played else where without informing me :( in my heart 'again?! why make us so tired?' hmmm..

lesson from this incident, what I can share is, make sure your children know your phone number by heart. then brief them not to be panic when they get lost, so people can easily help them when they get missing. parents don't get panic too. and don't play the blaming games - laogong looked at me 1 kind when girls missing :(



overall this is a gold outing for bbb. for parents, we save quiet a lot of money, coz no time to look for our own books. so I bought nothing for myself ^0^

u-hu~

yes! today is a BAGUS Friday :D although there is lots of urgent - die die mush finish by today work, and I am going to be a one man show coz partner gone back hometown for raya celebration.. am still having relaxing mood! going to have 4 days holidays, and I am going to get bbb all together ^^

before start bla bla bla for today, now am in the train, a girl sitting opposite me with her short skirt..


and I can see her panty! not only me, the guy besides me can see it clearly too hmmm... next time I need to be cautious too when I wear short skirt :p



btw, an angel baby is sleeping next to me, in her mummy's cradle ^^ this morning I don't hear baby shyuan crying, I guess she has slowly adjusted her sleeping time to suit her mummy's :)



at 1st I thought of skipping this year book fest. stay home and rest in the raya holidays. then I plan to go there on my work day, to buy stationery stocks for bbb. then I think of bbb likes comic books, go to the book fest maybe I can get more with relatively cheaper price. then since i go there to buy their books, then might as well I bring them there. ya! this is what in my mind - bringing 3 children to the book fest with lots of books (tend to spend much more) and lots of people (time spend to look for my missing child?) hmmm.. shall I make myself that tired? but if I bring them go to the book fest, they may have chance to see authors of their favourite books? hmm still considering this holiday outing..

4 days holidays. day1 bbb have weekend classes. day2 sunday service. day3 bro in law's engagement. day4 no plan yet. if I want to go book fest, go on? I feel to go outing in nature. thought of travelling to national park, but I don't want to be in the massive traffic jams. hmm see how, maybe I just stay at home and do nothing :p



start working on my sewing homework..



tiring but enjoying it..



hopefully I can get 1 purse done in this raya holiday ^^



am hungry now. this is my yesterday breakfast.


this kaya butter toast too! :D I like this. coz of the butter. I like butter with bread ^^


this is my last night dinner. see the kaya butter toast? hehe 1 day twice orders of toast :p but I prefer the one at the chicken rice shop compare to this. shall I go for the breakfast again? :D

well pen off here. the sleeping angel now is very cranky, eh eh eh for don't know what. reaching station, want to start my happy Friday!



cute!

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
