Snow Skin Mooncake

Last saturday my sis came to Melaka, and I grabbed the chance to ask her to teach me making the snow skin mooncake. We bought all the ingredients from a bakery shop and started the fun session at nite :D As promised, we started to do it at 9pm. Then my sis so busy there weighted this weighted that, haha... she said she is the first time using that recipe =.=" Her bf and I were starting to worry as she looked so cincai in the volume of the ingredients... Then my sis shown us how to make it into the mooncake. Her bf and I were helping too, it was so fun!

haha, for the new learner like me, I was excited when the mooncake was done by me :D Please see the pic haha. It tastes nice and I had sent some to my neighbours and my parents in law. The rest were all in the stomach, haha. There are still ingredients left, maybe tomorrow will do it again, then will bring to my frens to test it :D With the condition, i will not feel lazy tomorrow, hahahha.....

Alfred's tea time

Always go to fetch Alfred from nursery at 11.30am. Everyday I will bring a snack for him to eat during tea time later in bbsitter house at around 3pm. Last few weeks, Huan jie jie made few muffins and sandwich for Alfred as his tea time snacks. In the photo above are the three different flavours of muffins. Alfred likes them very much. :D

Huan jie jie, thank you~~

Shy Shy Shine~~

Alfred went out for a walk with all his little frens and teachers. He was hand in hand with a girl, haha. I asked him who is the girl. He said jie jie. :D

Children's world is so simple yet natural. A simple thing can make them laugh. Full of laughter, full of toys, full of food, just that simple. Wishing that my boys can enjoy their childhood happily, no stress, no sadness, no suffer.... Just that simple.

30 Aug.. Forced leave.

Our president has declared that 30 Aug is a public holiday in MMU which in the response to support the Green campaign. By doing so, they are able to shut down the chiller plant (aircond) from 28 till 31 Aug for 4 days. In another words, can save a lot of money.

But did MMU aware that the sudden announcement really mess up every academician's life? For those who have class on 30 and 31 august, we need to do the replacement class... and they are so many classes carried on during these two days... Everyone is rushing to grab a slot for the replacement....

I was the unlucky one who scheduled the labtest to be held on 28 aug. So after the announcement, I planned to reschedule it so that everyone could sit for the labtest in air conditioning environment. But badly, i failed to do the replacement on 1 sept, 2 sept and 3 sept as there are many exams will be organizing in each of these days. Many of the students can't make it. And worst is, I can't make it on the study week, as it has declared that whole week has to be mandotary leave (forced leave again).... sigh... then after the study week, the final exam week comes.

So no choice, I will have to stick back to my original plan which is on 28 Aug. I don't know how many ppl will curse me for having such arrangement. No aircond for a labtest. I know everyone will be sweating a lot then. I had told my students about it. Keep saying sorry to them today. They didn't have any strong objection. maybe after the labtest, they will curse me for letting them to sweat like hell? haha. Feel very sorry for my colleagues as well, they are the unlucky one to be picked to invigilate for me; and yet they are the unlucky one to invigilate a labtest without aircond....

This is the first labtest which made me a sleepless night yesterday. A very difficult situation and feel so sorry. Stupid forced leave!

猴子过马路

狗过马路，牛过马路，甚至蛇过马路都有看过。昨天才跟朋友聊起四脚蛇过马路。谁知今早我却遇见猴子过马路，吓死我。

话说今早出门还有点睡意。。 途中经过一个只剩７秒的红绿灯，所以便踩油，不想错过了便要等一个１分钟多的红绿灯。当我过到一半，哗！有只猴子过马路，印象中它那四只脚前后前后，我的车又好像要靠近它了。。幸好它快了一点，过了。。。

但，我却被他吓醒了。 嘿。。乱乱过马路是很危险的。

Gardening ...

Finally, we had the motivation to tidy up our messy garden... The plants are wildly grown... and the grass is long enough to hide your feet when you step on it... Have been thinking to tidy it since few months ago, but don't have the time? energy? mood? or other excuses to excuse myself from tidying it.

So on last Sunday, thanks to the weather, it was nice for gardening. I had unplucked all those wild plants and trimming my flowers and also green leaves. Francis was then used the grass trimmer to trim the messy grass.... See? Alfred was offering his help when he saw me sweeping the grass after cutting. He was excited and ... hmm... I think addicted to the joyfulness of sweeping grass =.="" Last two days he kept asking me to let him sweep the grass... luckily it was raining in the last two days evening... :p

Great Saturday

Today is a great saturday. A good day begins with a good mood, I believe.

This morning took a photo in car before sending the two monkeys to bbsitter house. Everyone was in good mood.



Francis and I went to Dreambox to sing k during lunch time :D Long time never sing k with only us two ppl... sing for two hours, i nearly lost my voice... it seems like the voice is difficult to "come out" in the daytime... Anyway, it was really great for singing nonstop... ^^

Then we went to buy Donashi at the Big Apple donut shop. I was thinking to buy donashi long time ago when it was newly launched to the market, but "heart pain" with the money and also diet reason, I didn't buy it... Today I don't know why I dare to buy it... close my eyes to buy it without second thought, haha.... 18 pieces costs RM20; 28 pieces costs RM25. I bought 18 pieces. I was really excited... The donashi were packed in a bento-liked box, and they looked like cute sushi staying quietly in the box :p fat? biar I habiskan them baru say.... hahhaha...

Blog Layout

Recently don't know what happen to my blog template. The very first template which i used was disappeared.... only see the background color is green in color but the background graphic was disappeared! Then i downloaded and uploaded it again to my blog, but still it is having the same problem.

So, i downloaded and uploaded another type of template. it looked nice and in the order of what I wanted. But just after a few days, this time the background is fine, but my gadgets dunno y moved to the bottom of the page.... >.<""" Then i again, redo the similar steps, but still the same.... However, today I opened it using the lab pc, it looked nice. But now the gadgets moved to the bottom whenever i used my home labtop. wonder is the resolution problem... sien.... how to make sure it will be in a normal mode whereever i open it? Anyone?

A Sunday Afternoon

Francis is coming back to Melaka in another 2 hours ^^ that's so great! My war with these two monkeys are going to end very soon, haha. See the picture above? haha, I had finally conquerred them ! They are sleeping now... shhhhh.... I was quietly taken their photo and is now quietly uploading them XD

It was a tiring week, but nevermind, it is going to end soon... A fren told me 小别胜新婚, maybe she is true. Alfred this morning told me that "我想爸爸，我要抱爸爸".... That is so sweet....

Thanks to you guys! thanks for your gambateh and support... and yes, 我渡过了这个考验 :D

Alfred's first water playing in nursery

Yesterday Alfred had his first water playing in the nursery. He called it swimming and he was excited with it. The nursery has the water playing session on the first friday of every month, but I am so careless that I forgot about it. I didn't bring towel for Alfred yesterday morning, luckily the nursery can provide one for him.

After Alfred back from school, he told me he sat inside the pool and splashed the water, and like this that swimming (he moved his hand while explaining). He said he wear only underpant to play the water, haha.... so sexy. Anyway, he explaint all these to me only after i had asked several times =.=" He won't automatically tell me one... >.<

But I wonder what would be the proper attire for the water playing session, coz he said only he and another fren were with underpant. The rest of frens are wearing shirts.... hmmm... have to clarify with the teachers later...

Anyway, he likes it :)

深呼吸

深呼吸，告诉自己今天一切会很好。

Setting a good emotion and step out of the house, found that everything is not that hard, everything will be nice soon...

Sometimes thinking taking care a bb is hard coz need to wake up in the midnite to feed him and have to carry him, etc... But I have another point of view now, yes, it is tiring to taking care a bb for all these reasons, but the tiredness is just for physical.

I think it is harder to take care of a toddler. I have to care for his feelings, his behaviours, his emotion etc.... Although it is easier to physically take care of a toddler, as he can play himself, can do everything by himself. But taking care of a toddler's emotion is somehow a difficult question to me. When he is naughty, should I hit him? or should I advice nicely? What if I talk nicely and he refuses to listen? What if he behaves naughty due to some other reasons and doesn't mean it? There are a lot of questions in my head everytime I face this situation.

Every mother will hope that her kids to behave nicely, to be a good boy, etc. I hope my sons can be a disciplined kid and everyone likes them. Before that I thought this is not hard as long as I teach him from young. Of course, he will be disciplined in some but not all. Sometimes I feel this is out of control, even though I put so much effort. Maybe this is 身为父母的彷徨吧?

深呼吸，告诉自己一切将会很好。

Not a good start of the day

I am feeling energy-less now.... physically and emotionally tired...

Last nite didn't manage to sleep well. I wonder why Bernard kept waking up after a short naps... He seemed to be very energitic... I couldn't count i woke up for how many times to feed him and to swing him to sleep... maybe 4? 5? or more? Just like usual, I put him in bed at 8pm, but last nite he woke up at 9pm and smiled to me... since he didn't feel like want to continue sleeping, so i put him into the walker. He just stared at me and smiled =.=""" for quite some time. His face.... is so happy, I dunno what happened to him or mayb he thought i am funny with a sleepy face? gosh.... then after an hour i put him to sleep, then woke up then sleep then woke up the whole nite in this type of routine.... kill me... my physical is tired.

This morning Alfred did not want to go to school... coz he wanted to watch cartoon. Then after I "tam" him, he willing to go, but he did not want to wear shoes. I know he was just trying to find an excuse to throw his temper. eee.... triggered my fire... again, kena scolded by me and as usual cried then be good boy. I did not understand why he knew the ending but still behave so. I have no energy to think anymore. I just know I drove them to bbsitter and school with black face. I don't feel like want to talk at that moment. My emotion is exhausted.

People said "Start a day with a good emotion, everything will be fine on that day"... but seems like I had a worst morning... am i managed to continue? ... X.X

Day 3 - Let's Continue

It was so glad that everything went smoothly this morning. Both kids woke up at 7am, so I had to wake up too... While I brought Alfred to brush his teeth, Bernard was rolling and "biting" toys on the bed. After that I helped Alfred to change his Kinderfit. Then brought two of them to downstairs so that Alfred could take his breakfast (a gardenia choco bread, haha, easiest :P ) At 7.45am, we drove to bbsitter there and Alfred's nursery. :)

Oh suddenly remember that this morning Bernard rolled down from the bed... Don't worry, haha, he didn't hit any hard surface, coz he was falling to Alfred's bed. That time I was making milk for Alfred, while Bernard was on the bed rolling and Alfred was lying on his bed (which is on the floor) waiting for his milk. When I was making milk, I turnt over to see them, wah, shock me =.="" Bernard's body was on Alfred's body and Bernard's legs were on the bed..... =.=""" Then I quickly ran to him and he was smiling at me when he saw me.... bomb.... and Alfred did not dare to move, haha, was "pressed" by Bernard on top....

Today is the 3rd day. Yes, hope this week can pass very very fast... "I'm waiting for you~~~" (lyris from dunno wat song, which sang by my student yesterday while waiting for me to open the lab for the tutorial class, haha, now pinjam to sing to Francis).

Home Alone with Kids

Today is the second day Francis went to Germany. Last nite I was alone to take care these two monkeys.... luckily everything fine. Just that Bernard woke up at 12.30am and 4am.... I am a bit sleepy now, wonder is Monday blue or becoz lack of sleep last nite...

Tonite would be another nite with them alone. haha, i feel like i am having war now... have to conquer them :p Let's see tonite i manage to settle them o not. Of coz i hope i could... I wish myself a sweet nite today.

I rememebered possibly two years before I wrote a post in friendster blog saying that I would rather be a small lady to be protected by my half, instead of being a brave woman to face everything independently. Frankly, til today I stil have this feeling. But having two kids, no matter how, i have to learn to be independent which will make me tiring most of the time. Sound sad? but that is life. Just hope that no matter how tired I am, they can grow up happily and healthily, and my friends and families around would always love me so much as i love them, hahaha....

Yes, gambateh for another few more days before Francis can come back to join my army team, haha... I need some strength before I really collapse :p

Alfred's first day to school

7th June 2010 is the first day of school (toddler in kindergarten) for Alfred. I was worried that he would cry. Surprisingly he didn't! He likes the school, i was so pleased. At first, i was worried and everyday keep telling him I will send him to school then i will be going to work. Then i will come back to fetch him and send him to bbsitter there. This was somesort my promise to him that I will come back to fetch him. Luckily he understands.

However, according to the teacher, he didn't finish the food given, a bit choosy. Today is the second day, and teacher told me he managed to finish the food. Maybe he likes the food today but not yesterday, my choosy boy.....

Hope he is able to cope with the life in school and learn something. Hope he could able to communicate in English which is not his mother tongue. Hope he will learn to take care of himself and be a good boy.... :)
