Upgraded To The Grown Ups Table

This year a few of our nieces and nephews have been upgraded to the grown ups table. The nieces are excited because they are no longer the outcast. We have special table for the children, away from the adults table. :lol: But they get o eat first you know. The nephews are not so excited about this upgrading. I guess boys grow up slower and they want to quickly have their dinner and play rather than enjoy their dinner slowly with the adults and talk. I guess we have to wait till they are really grew up like when they started need the acne treatments, or when their voice “broke” then only we upgrade them to the grown ups table.

Cookies for Chinese New Year

MIL already made Kuih Belanda/Kuih Kapit, Kuih Ros and Bangkit Sagu. That’s all from her this year. Next it will be my turn to contribute some cookies to our CNY spread. With a baby around, I chose the simplest cookies to bake. They are the Nestum Cookies and Chocolate Chips Cookies. I will bake them on Tuesday and Thursday. The day I do not have to send and fetch my eldest girl for extra class.

Ok lar…I better go shopping for the ingredients now. Toodles! (8.29am).

ABC for Chinese New Year

Hubby was asking me whether we should just serve ABC during our CNY open house. We could do that but do we have the energy to shave the ice since out ice shaver is not automated? Looking back at our Christmas party, our ABC was a big hit leaving behind so much the sunmelon with sago drink. Oh wel, I guess I just start making the ice and let them decide later when the time come. Should I prepare some print out on the colonix reviews too? All the artifical colouring and BBQ food will surely make our colon screams to be cleanse. :lol:

S Size

I am so happy that I am able to fit into S size again. :D I can actually go into XS but must leave some space in case I put on weight again. ;)

Just bought a jeans and a sleeveless blouse for CNY. Going simple this year coz I have a fully breastfeeding baby who is still feeding on demand.

Since these clothings are for CNY; must leave some space for expansion. :D

Now my tummy is growling thinking of all the yummy food served during the CNY.

Organic Food for Baby

I wonder how long I’ll feed my baby organic food. He is eating organic green veggies and beetroot. The non-organic is the potatoes and carrots. His porridge consists of organic buckwheat, organic brown rice, organic millets and organic pearl barley. During pregnancy, I don’t even take any organic prenatal vitamin; the non organic ones also don’t have!

Well, as long as we can afford to buy the organic multigrains for him, he will enjoy them. Slowly but surely he is being contaminated with adult food especially at my mom’s place. I got shocked when she fed him french fries that day! As long as baby can chew and swallow, she will give. :lol:

After that, I quickly breastfeed him. Hoping that breastmilk can act like colon cleanser. hahahahaha.

30 days to Feasting

In 30 days time we will be celebrating Chinese New Year. Another round of feasting. Must standby natural colon cleansers after that. ;)

As little children, I look forward to Chinese New Year for the Angpows. As a mother, I look forward to count my children’s Angpows to see whether got pulak modal or not. :lol: Sure can pulang modal one lar; I got 4 this year. Mwahahahaha.

Actually what I really look forward to during the Chinese New Year is the BBQ night; the grilled lamb and chicken wings by our favorite Singh chef. ;)

This time I must eat more so that I have weight to loose after they left when the holiday is over. ;)

Fed-Up

Fed-up of eating my own food which I cook everyday. Coz, I am not a good cook. So, I ended up eating lunch at my mom’s and skip dinner!

Fed-up of eating all by myself. Eat with my children? Well, when they eat, I’ll be feeding my Baby at the same time and layaning them. So, I ended up not eating or eating bread in their presence when they are playing. I need someone to sit with me when I eat without me having to serve them at the same time.

Fed-up of swallowing my food. Can’t bear hearing Baby crying in his walker waiting for me to pick him up so, I eat as fast as I could. Not fun at all. So, I ended up skipping dinner.

Now I know the reasons I am getting skinnier besides getting less than 5 hours of sleep on school days.

Canteen Food Not Enough!

After 2 days eating canteen food, my eldest girl complaints that the amount is too little. I totally agrees with her. If I eat it arh….3-4 spoonful gone liau. She can easily wallop 3 bowls of it! Expensive some more pulak tu. One bowl of rice (chicken rice or nasi lemak) is RM1 and noodles, RM0.80.

So, she requested me to cook for her! Aiyoyo! Have to wake up earlier. :( But how could a mommy say “No” right? So, from tomorrow onwards, waking up time is 5.30am instead of 6.30am. The problem is, I am so used to sleeping at 2.30am! Looks like when they nap, I MUST nap too.

When can I do housework then? Hmmm…must re-plan my schedule or let baby chase me around in his walker when I do sweeping and mopping. ;)

Gee! Motherhood is getting more interesting each year. :lol:

Blended Chili

Time check, it is 8.13am now and I have been sitting here since 7.30am. I am not supposed to be here. I am supposed to be in the kitchen preparing lunch and dinner for hubby to pack to work but I can’t do that now. It is because I forgotten to thaw the frozen blended chili. :(

Another option is to cook Fish Tempra but we just had that yesterday. Ikan Chuan Chuan; I have no ginger. So, wait lar…hopefully in half an hour time I can start cooking coz the blending chili is soaking in hot water now. Meantime, I use this opportunity to update my blogs. ;)
