My second Bento...

Quite a failure because both Renee and Phoebe couldn't finish the serving... Guess I was too ambitious. Buahahaha!

Nevertheless, they love my apple soup (an attempt to reproduce 老火汤). Wuhoo! Even I was impressed by myself...

 

Baby Wayne can only smell and watch but not get to eat... Kekeke! ^^

Tired Yang

My sleeping child hit several milestones in these couple of days...

He managed to flip back to his back from tummy position, though he didn't manage to do it all the time but only a few times in his own baby cot.

He's been capable of pushing away milk bottle whenever he didn't felt like drinking... Tonight, I saw him staring hard at the pacifier above his head when dear was feeding him. Next, he stretched his hand to reach for the pacifier, while pushing away the milk bottle. Haha!

Tonight, he soothed himself to sleep again... As he sang his own mahbok* song, he looked around for his ever-dropping pacifier. Hee!

Remember our 打勾勾 promise, son ^^

不听老人言

漏屎在眼前。。。

昨天我们带着家婆一起去走街。回家前带了孩子们去吃雪糕。老公很渴所以买了一大杯汽水可是却没什么机会喝。我闲在那里就边吃雪糕边喝汽水。

喝完了才听见家婆不让孩子们喝太多汽水；说雪糕冷，汽水也冷。两者一起吃多了会拉肚子。有点太迟了，我都下肚了。结果7早8早在温马桶咯！

我以后不敢了。不过说实在的，便秘了几回，能这么Thunder也蛮爽的。哈哈！快变态了。。。

My First "Bento" attempt

It was a school holiday this Monday when I almost forgot to prepare dinner for my girls. After clearing some work, I decided to cook up a simple meal for them.

This was the first time when I cooked rice and dishes ever since my helper left on 11th May.

My first steamed rice, my first smooth silky steamed egg... The former turned out too moist, hence, I was carried by a whimp to mould the rice into balls... After putting 2 balls of rice in each bowl, they looked like a snowman already... I pulled out a few pieces of seaweed and cut them into eyes and mouth...

"Mummy, you are awesome!", exclaimed Renee when she saw her dinner was so special that evening...

"Yeah! My favorite egg egg! Thank you, mummy!", shouted Phoebe as she jumped up and down beside the dinner table.

I also made a "yucky" fish soup with carrots and black beans, using my soy milk maker... It tasted okay to me. Well, Phoebe finished all of her serving happily. Renee, however, only tried a few sips and concluded that it was not her "bowl of soup", and she couldn't finished the cheese sausage and rice ~,~

I was motivated to try other bento settings when I have time... Only if I could make them with Japanese pearl rice, though this Thai fragrance rice was good enough ^^

Our first family "trekking"

It was such a beautiful weather on Saturday that we decided that we should head somewhere outdoor during lunch.

Instead of heading to the city for malls, we headed to the Punggol waterway Park Connector. After a busy meal at Ah Dong, we took a stroll along the waterway to the Lorong Halus wetland.

The girls were very spontaneous towards this long stroll. This was the perfect weather for this relaxing exercise. We were just a turn away from the Coney Island and also a turn away from the other stretch of Punggol waterway... Not being too ambitious, we added that to our next to-do item ^^

视线不再一样了

自从网上流传了越来越多的屠杀工厂取肉过程的冷血残忍片段后，真相大白。

长久以来，人们把自己的快乐建筑在其他动物的痛苦上，终于浮上水面。

其实不难想象，就是大家都不愿意失去这般享受所以选择了逃避，自欺欺人。

酒肉穿肠过；为了那三寸之舌而种下不可饶恕的罪孽，罪过罪过。

放上网的都是现实，你不愿意相信但那的的确确就是真相。可怕的是，那只是开始。。。家畜一生的痛苦。

有了小孩后；人好像又坚强但同时又脆弱了。看了许多的食物处理厂的影片；我不是变态爱看残忍的东西；但是那种根深地固的思想真的不容易一下子改变。

第一次看，吓哭了。看了5分钟；先是讨厌那些“奸商”那么不仁道。

看第二次，还是哭了。看了5分钟；在想怎么那么多奸商？很恨。

再看，一直看；开始觉得不是奸商的问题；而所有人都是共犯！我没资格哭了！

接下来不多看了；不是逃避而是需要时间调解思绪。

不用一辈子来反省；要善待自己就是要及时知错；立马改过！看过了N次的相关视频与信息之后；我终于做了决定要改吃素。这不是容易做到的；所以我会尽量。为并肩求存的动物们的幸福与自由；我不能无动于衷。许多历史的大改革都是要改变想法踏出第一步。人类们得好好加油！

之所以说我的视线不再一样；那是无意间发现的。有人在网上分享了糯米鸡等佳肴的制作片段；当厨师用剪刀将烹调好的美味鸡剪开时；我看了不但没有垂涎三尺；反倒是看见了人类残酷地剪开一具尸体。恶心！在网上看见狗主人分享他们的爱狗有多可爱时；我看见了狗狗的眼神很可怜。我“看见”的不只是可爱的小狗；我还看见了她背后；为了配种而失去自由和孩子的母狗。残忍！

说真的，这些真的能原谅吗？或者说；只要做得再仁道一些；就没事了吗？祝大家好运。。。

尽人事，听天命！

随缘，顺其自然。

缘尽命我出走，必有成长机缘。

自然命我放下，必要扛起新任。

是福不是祸；是祸躲不过。。。

尽人事；听天命。一切都将是最好的安排。

Akan Datang

It's part and parcel of life when it comes to work... And work security...

This lazy afternoon on my weekly off day, I couldn't fall asleep despite the fact that  I was seriously lack of sleep.... Instead, I was browsing on the web...

I.... have to embrace changes... It's the matter of time. Just didn't want to have too much impact to my family. 

I believe that the path had been set ahead of me. Everything happens for a reason, and it will be the best reason... hoping that when the time finally comes, I'm all ready to embrace what it takes...

Pray hard for the best!

2 by 2 - Swim Shop Chill

It's been a while since the girls last went for a swim, or I should say a dip. So we went ahead...

In order to bring the girls to swim/dip, we need someone to babysit little Wayne. LIttle Wayne loves to sleep a lot so we made the decision to leave him at grandpa and grandma's house.

It's lunch after the dip, so we headed to Vivo for a not so fast, fast food lunch, followed by plenty of window shopping...

After picking up little Wayne, we proceeded to the Punggol beach for a chillax... Somehow, dear couldn't resist the push cart icecream... So I was forced to treat them lunch and desserts today. Wahahaha!

Dear, with durian icecream in a bread, girls with chocolate icecream in cones, me with $2 left in my purse... Love family time!! ^^

Hope Renee remember to do her homework tomorrow morning. Kekeke!
