Happy Mother's Day weekends...

Special Home cooked Dinner , Friday, 11 May

Yesterday when i fetched Anthea and Anders from childcare, the teachers passed their Mother's Day presents to me.


Anthea's Artwork

It was very sweet and knowing that it is handmade (with teacher's help) by the children, i was really touched.

Anders's Artwork.

Been another busy week, both at home and at work. So far, domestically we are doing quite well. It's not easy and at times, can be very tiring. But at the end of the day, the satisfaction and self-fulfilment just write-off everything.

Anthea has been on her best behaviour since Siti left and i am really glad she is listening to our instructions most of the times.

Anders is still not as well behaved as Anthea. He has been crying and whining alot to get things his way. Adrian even caned him this week when he did not listened to my instruction and created a mess in the kitchen. For a 3 years old, it is not easy, especially Siti has been giving in to him alot when she was looking after him.

So to understand his emotional needs better, i went to library to borrow some books, hopefully, i will be enlightened after reading.
This weekends we celebrate Mother's Day. Last night, i had requested to eat western at Lao ma's place. As usual, it was a very sumptious dinner,menu included Roast Beef, fried chicken wings, vegetables, mashed potatoes and soup. Lao pa made great western meal and he cooked very delicious Hainanese Chicken rice.

After dinner, we da-bao some food back home for adrian as he went for his usual badminton session at Bishan Sport complex.

Household chores routine , Saturday, 12 May

In the morning, i went market to get some ingredient to prepare for lunch. For today lunch, i managed to cook a nice soup - Black chicken with Black bean soup recommend by wokking mum. I steamed a fish (ngoh yu) and had spinach. Also, there was roast beef from yesterday dinner. Another simple and enjoyable home cooked meal.

As usual, i went around with my weekend chores - sweep and mop the house, washes the 2 bathrooms, do the laundry and prepared children lunch. Now time is fully utilised and sometime, i even asked myself "Time not enough"...hee : P

For tonight dinner, we are meeting our extended family to dine at Sze Chuan Court at Swissotel the Stamford. Looking forward to another nice chilling out session with the family.
