Relaxing Sunday

I am glad that I had a relaxing Sunday.

Even though we had guest last Sunday, we still woke up late. :P 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. :P Overall, it was quite a relaxing Sunday.

Interupted Saturday

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.

Walking Around Nekkid

Ahhhhhh! Finally we have privacy again. MIL and her maid went back to KL yesterday and I resume my duty as a Supermom TODAY! :D 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! :lol:

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. :lol:

CNY Cookies, BBQ & Carbonated Drinks = I need slimming pills!

*screams* I need slimming pills!!!

I put on 1kg in a month time!!! I am blaming it on the CNY Cookies, BBQ & Carbonated Drinks and also the presence of many helpers. :P

I am not going on diet coz I can’t coz I am still fully breastfeeding my 10mo baby. But I am determined to loose weight by doing more house chores like mopping the floor more often instead of once a week. Btw, I need to coz my baby is crawling most of the time. Once my baby can walk more steadily, I will let him play outdoor with his siblings and I can rake the leaves too.

These are the type of exercises that a SAHM like me can do. No time to jog, no time for aerobic. All these will begin this Monday coz this weekend all my helpers will be away again. This time around, I anticipate it coz I cannot stand the maid’s body smell. It sticks on all our clothings that she handles. Since last Thursday, I forbid her from washing, hanging, bring in and folding my bajus. Besides that, I don’t like the way she hangs my bajus and she does not arrange them properly in the drawers. Pakai sumbat saja (sign of laziness). I am very fussy eh. :P So, that’s why I do it myself lor. :P No heartache.

Super Hot Weather in Malacca

The weather has been super duper hot here in Malacca. It has been this hot since before the Chinese New Year. The grasses are dying and the leaves are withering. Yesterday, there was not a single cloud in the sky around mid day; clear blue sky. It did rain last night but don’t think it is sufficient for the plants.

We have been napping and sleeping with the air-cond on for about 2 hours almost everyday! I am really scared to see my electricity bill this month. I told hubby that since he can’t bring us to Genting or Cameron Highlands for holiday, we spend the holiday budget paying for the air-cond usage bill! :lol:

Is there any online life insurance for death by heat or dehydration? :lol:

I am making sure my children and myself too to drink lots and lots of water. Make sure you do the same too ya. If not, sure fall sick one.

Unhealthy

This is the first time I have been away from this blog for such a long time. Apart from the Chinese New Year celebration, I was sick and my 10mo baby had fever too. A few days before CNY, I had splitting headache, nausea, fever and sore-throat. After popping some paracetamol, supplements and iron pills, I was healed just on time to celebrate CNY. My baby caught the fever bug from me too! I had no choice but to let him have some formula milk coz my body was not producing enough milk for him.

On the 3rd day of CNY, the headache and fever decided to pay me a visit again! Baby had mild fever again too. The next day, I urinated blood! I had difficulty passing urine too. Kept going to the toilet the whole day. On Friday, I am sure it is UTI and head to the clinic to get some antibiotic. Well, obviously my body was too heaty and dehydrated. Drank too much carbonated drink too and abandoned H2O! Blaming the hot weather too. :P

As of today, I am better but my mom kept bugging me to stop breastfeeding coz I often have dizziness and nauseous right after menses. But I will not! Will visit the Singseh shop soon to get some “Pak Chan”. Is this the one to “poh” your body after menses?

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).

Slacking

Since the maid came back and took over the house chores, I have been so disorganised and slacking.

I have too much free time until I slack in doing my duty as a mommy and a wife! I cook my baby’s food late, I did not pack hubby’s food on time, I forgot to wash my children’s school shoe etc. Talking about forgetting, I better schedule my online backup soon.

Most of my free time was spent online (which I seldom get when maid is not around) and playing with my baby.

You know what, I like myself better when the maid is not around. I miss the “organised” me. I miss being in control.

But I am telling myself to enjoy this time as much as possible. Rest as much as I can coz she will be back in KL by end of this month until dunno when.

Bonuses

Praise God for His blessings. This year, I received bonus from 3 different bosses. The amount is not in thousands but as little as RM50 is a lot for a SAHM like me.

The first bonus is from Mr Google. I managed to get the minimum amount for payment exactly on the month I needed it the most. It took me 10 months to enjoy this Adsense bonus. :D I did nothing within that 10 months. No serious blogging.

The 2nd bonus came from my youngest sister. I think she received a lot of bonus this year coz she is the nursery Asst. Principal now and her boss sayang her a lot. hehehe. I guess that is also a token of gratitude for breastfeeding her baby girl and babysiting her baby when she went out for makan with my mom.

I just received my 3rd bonus this morning from my SIL; my brother’s wife. A small token for sending and fetching their girl to and from kindy which is not neccessary coz I am sending my own children too. Since she insisted, I take lar. :lol:

Bonus from hubby? Don’t think so. :P
