Sketches of Life|Life Lived in Simplicity

My eldest daughter asked, “Mommy, why your face has so many spots like Coraline?” Coraline has freckles but I have acne scars! Others have sporty look but I have spotty face.

Due to itchy hands and financial constraints, I now have lots of any scars on my face. I can only afford to seek for treatment after I earn my own money. By that time, it was too late to have flawless, smooth face.

I will not let the same happen to my own children. I will advise them not to press their pimples, spend money on home remedies for acne if needed and make sure they drink lots of water, get enough sleep, stay away from caffeine and unclean food like prawns, oyster, cockles and mussels.

I can’t believe it that I have not post about my Chinese New Year this year! Well, I guess nothing special really happened this year except for the lion dance and fireworks.

Like every other year, we washed the floor on CNY eve, then have family reunion dinner. On the first day we went visiting and on the 2nd night we had our BBQ night; no worries, it is asbestos free and no need to fear having to get the Mesothelioma treatment.

We had Yee Sang too this year but I can’t remember on what day. We managed to visit hubby’s favorite Geography teacher on the 2nd day too and enjoyed some Top Hats there.

Here is a few photos that I uploaded to my Flickr account…

I think this happened on the 3rd day of CNY.

BBQ.

This must be on the 4th day coz hubby is in his work uniform!

When you are busy, time fly in super speed!

This blog has really been abandoned.

To those that keep coming here for updates, so sorry ya. I am back to being a Supermom you know and my task has been added from just being a mom to being a tutor too.

I am now adjusting to doing house work and making time to teach all my children. When the baby is sleeping, I’ll be busy cutting out manila card for teaching materials.

Next, I need to plan and prepare for family devotion. This is very crucial coz my children are growing up fast and I can’t delay any further teaching them the ways of Christ and bringing them up to be godly children. I was telling hubby that I have bigger and more important task than him. And I am so scared that I might fail! Pray with me that God will give me the knowledge and wisdom to raise my children according to His way.

I am glad that I had a relaxing Sunday.

Even though we had guest last Sunday, we still woke up late. 2 of my kids were with my parents. Hubby went to church. I just chill out at home with my other 2 kids and guest. We had bread and banana for breakfast.

For lunch, we had KFC at home coz the weather is so hot, we decided not to go out makan2. I also bought a red, juicy, seedless and sweet watermelon, yogurt, jelly and lychee drink from a supermarket nearby.

After lunch, we just hang around under the rambutan tree while the children play with seeds.

For dinner, we went to a hawker stall at Malim Food Court.

No sweeping, no cooking, no washing, no folding clothes but before bed, have to iron uniforms lar. Overall, it was quite a relaxing Sunday.

To the boss: Is it SO difficult to just pick up the phone to call your staff to confirm whether he is working today or not?

To the staff: Is it SO difficult to SMS your boss to inform him that you can work today after all?

Gah!

My Saturday is ALWAYS BUSY. Got floor to mop, got fishes to clean, got shoes to wash, got porch and verandah to sweep on top of the daily house chores.

I will only cook if hubby starts working in the evening. When I cook, all the above chores will be delayed coz I normally wakes up 2 hours later on Saturdays coz no need to send my children to school. And on Saturdays, I will cook more special dishes for my family. So it will take longer time to prepare.

SO, I would really appreciate it if both you guys could lend me a hand. Just pick up the phone; SMS or call, PLEASE.

Ahhhhhh! Finally we have privacy again. MIL and her maid went back to KL yesterday and I resume my duty as a Supermom TODAY! I got the hang of it and I am actually excited to be busy as a bee again. It keeps me alive actually. Having helpers around makes me lazy and FAT!

Apart from it, I can walk around nekkid at home anytime. Especially in this kind of weather, you only want minimal clothes on your body.
