House Renovation - New Blinds & Painting Work in Our Room

 Ashley's Room - Dora concepts room

(Nippon Paint Odourless is my first choice for painting work in my house, and for roller blinds I choose color sandstone for roller blinds, because I afraid in 1 day my kids  tells me that she wants to change her wall color from pink & purple to light blue/yellow. Same as Ian's room too.... After consideration, I know wall paint is cheaper than roller blinds, and blinds can keep for longer, no matter what colors Ashley want to change, at least blinds can remain unchanged) Wonder where I can buy Dora & Ben 10 Deco Wall Sticker?

 Extension of Balcony to Study Room (Before)

 Our New Guest Room (After)

New Study Area (After)

After 4 years of staying in our own house, Hubby & I decided to upgrade our house, as parents & family are doing construction and ID works, I have to loan workers from them for 30 days. Neighbors called our workers "superman" because they eyed our workers from beginning to completion of work within 30 days, they are just can't believed that...hahaha.. ok ok, many of them ask me how much it cost me for this renovation... Market Price is RM80k to 90K inclusive of painting work for the whole house...as for my own cost, i can't announce here unless you are same industry with me then you will know how much does this renovation work cost me.! 

The very hard time has over, why say so? I hate the irritating sound of hacking, the dust, the mess of house... that is why, I encourage house owner better do their renovation in one time before you move into your dream home... 

Mee Hoon Ker @ 板面

星期天的午餐又煮MeeHoonKer吃了。。什么是MeeHoonKer？我们福建人所叫的MeeHoonKer 就是板面！而所谓的面粉糕！每当煮这道美食我就会想起我的阿嫲！

以前阿嫲每个星期都会煮她最拿手的麦片面粉糕给全家人吃，一煮就是面粉 2 kilo 供一家20 口！！ 宵夜才煮的！很想念我的阿嫲，虽然她已离开了我们有16 年，而那时我才Form 5, 阿嫲的一点一滴我都还记得一清二楚。虽然我们是一个大家族，但家规大顺女一定要学煮饭，听阿公，阿嫲的指示，爸爸妈妈为了尊重长辈，奉旨我一定要学烹饪！我很讨厌， 很讨厌这种生活，家里又不是没有工人，可以教工人煮的嘛！同学朋友都当我是千金小姐，所以我没有什么朋友，我很自卑。 其实我很想告诉他们我的生活不是那么豪华，我也是要做家务的，而他们才是不用做家务的！

然后爸爸告诉我，公公喜欢自己家人煮饭菜的，公公很注重亲情，我们一定要听！但公公又特别爱阿嫲，阿嫲不用煮！媳妇和大孙女一定要煮！

在我结婚了以后，我一点也不后悔，因为以前的苦练是给于我自己的。。 所以我很感恩！ 不然的话，我就不会煮MeeHoonKer这一道美食。女儿和儿子也独爱我煮的MeeHoonKer。。

Garlic Buns, Sausage Bun & Red Bean Bun

Wonder what your kids eat during school break? My daughter Ashley bring bun/bread everyday till 1 day I ask her.. don't you feel boring one meh? She said she is alright with it, because she has no time to line up to buy food and wasting her time... I did offer her to buy some sushi or buy mini burgers from Secret Recipe... but more on outside food is not so healthy too... and Ashley herself suggested me to make some buns for her to bring to school .. yea, what a good idea right... and she sure will bring few for her friends... and her favorites sausage bun and red bean bun I will make for sure, and my son whatever can put in his mouth he will eat into his stomach... I actually never worry on my son appetite but Ashley, she is very fussy on food... luckily she never blame on my cooks so far... (for kids, mummy's cook is the best ever)

Washroom @ Pavillion

That is why we love Pavillion, KL alot.. especially the washroom, clean, not smelly, even the cleaner also very friendly.... Pavillion is the most welcome place to hang out with my parents & kids on Sunday morning. After the very healthy and hearty breakfast @ The Loaf, the kids insisted to visit Pavillion washroom for "baking cake" together happily ....hahaha.. see photo to proof below..

沙梨

I saw this fruit in Jusco Supermarket... name 沙梨,(sa lei) in Penang I know people call this "umbra"...
It makes my saliva drops when I see so many in the tray... don't bother too much and grap 1 packet of Sa Lei back home... quickly wash with salt, then cut some chilies padi, sugar and dark thickened soya.... wow, yummylicious i could say...    

Health Report

Found my own immune system not so well since a year ago... I will fall into sick anytime ever since I miscarriage during CNY... the most worrying me is I loose weight alot from 50kg to 44kg to-date.. what's wrong with me? too tired? pressure? stress? NO.. I quit my PA job almost for 2 years and join my dad's company till now, i don't think i have any job pressure now (because i only go to work after settle down my kids work and i only work from 12pm to 4pm everyday)...

Especially my shoulder, backbone pain after I ate lot of prawns, eggs for almost every week... (if i eat little i won't feel the pain)... OMG, I asked myself, am I having high cholesterol, low sugar??Heart problem? and Can't breath smoothly.... How come so many friends visit me recently... I was abit panic, if I go for medical check up what if the report shown that my health got problem such as cancer? liver problem? IF I'm really sick, who can take care of my 2 kids? And, I haven't change my EPF, SOCSO beneficiary to my 2 kids... my insurance should Add-on premiums for my2 kids.. (I think I'm too lebih to think all of these negatives thing)

After a few months, I decided to go for medical check up because if I don't go for it, I will die faster for thinking of so many negatives one... till last 3 weeks, I went to one of the nearest clinic for medical check up.... Doctor asked me to wait for 3 to 5 days, and he will give me a call.. after 4 days, the doctor called me up.. when I reached the clinic Doctor informed me :" CONGRATULATIONS!! your report shown that you are 100% in good health, NO WORRIES!!"

After the report, I force myself to double boiled red dates, tong sum water & bird nest for my hubby, 2 kids and myself every week.... after a month, I really can see our immune system improved a lot, especially myself...

That is why, mummy plays a very important roles for hubby & kids. Kids are still too young, I really don't want to leave 2 kids without me... as a mummy of me, I must take good care of myself first... agree?

星期天

一大早：

星期天如果没有回娘家，我就是奉旨要连续三餐下厨给两个宝贝吃， 就是要他们享受mummy的味道！也不会到外面吃，除非有特别的节目或我真的懒惰煮咯！两个宝贝一早就会问，今天有回婆婆家吗？如果我回答说，今天公公婆 婆要开会了，不用去，又或者我说，你们两个坏蛋不能回婆婆家，他们就会大哭，然后自己打点给婆婆说：“婆婆，妈咪坏蛋！，不给我们回bungalow（婆 婆家）你们现在来载我们！我要公公驾ｖｏｌｖｏ来！（我的两个实在给我爸妈宠坏到！！！）如果我爸驾着ａｌｐｈａｒｄ　来我家，我儿子一定会问咯，“公 公，我叫你驾ｖｏｌｖｏ为什么你驾ａｌｐｈａｒｄ来的！！？？为什么架蓝色不要驾白色的ａｌｐａｈｒｄ？（我爸还是故意买ａｌｐｈａｒｄ载两个宝贝孙 的！）很够力宠坏！！　好了，话题越说越远了。。。

如果星期天不回娘家，两个宝贝就会要求我煮ＡｍｅｒｉｃａｎＢｒｅａｋｆａｓｔ在ｇａｒｄｅｎ吃。。很会享受吧！！　

第一次买了近来很红的Safe Egg，打开壳的时候，蛋白很奇怪，蛋白不是透明的！　以为是坏了，但又没有臭！应该是这样的吧！照吃！




















午餐：太累了，出外打包算了吧！

晚餐：特地煮了几道菜等大宝（老公）outstation 回来。。　

松茸灵芝汤

超喜欢这家的药材，干净，方便又够味！一盒四人份，刚好我们一家人！

















两个宝贝的最爱，鱼肉蛋卷！

















Maggi牌子的AyamMerah,　味道不错。。　够辣！



















Asam 马友鱼（还是妈妈煮的最好吃！）
















这样又一天了！吃饱后，又到jusco supermarket去，这jusco实在太方便了，不用５分钟就可以到，，天天我都会报到的！！　

书法班 Calligraphy Class

Her certificate & work

I think she wrote very well after few months of class... can't believe that a 7 years old girl can write so well... too bad, she gave up after her 1st level, and her teacher also advised her that do not give up easily... after spoken to her teacher for 30 minutes.. my daughter told me :" mummy, i go into the class awhile, you wait for me ah"

Then I saw her talked to her teacher, and the teacher was so happy... guess what, my daughter told the teacher... "teacher, i will absent today for level 2, please wait for me next week, i will be back for level 2, i really need to rest and think properly, please don't forget me to attend the competition this year end"

(when on the way back home, i asked her, "eh what about your piano class and art class, i thought you said you don want calligraphy class and you want to go for piano class and art class"... she answered me," I really don't know how to decide and arrange la mummy, you decide for me la, i won't unhappy one as long as mummy happy whatever decision i also accept one"... )

自制薄荷巧克力 Ｍｉｎｔｓ Ｃｈｏｃｏｌａｔｅ

这巧克力是特别给老公的公司新开张而做的。全场都叫赞！！当天，只是简单的ＢＢＱ，两百罐的啤酒，不知几多支的ｂｌｕｅ　ｌａｂｅｌ，　和红酒。。　这个开张很特别，来的人只需要穿上ｔ－ｓｈｉｒｔ和短裤。。　什么公司来的？？其实我老公是一位潜水教练。他放弃了接近ＲＭ１０，０００的经理职位，而转码头自己当老板！身为另一半的我，无话可说咯，当然是要ｓｕｐｐｏｒｔ他呀！其实，现在还好赚过拿ＲＭ１０，０００，现在有时间可以呆在家里陪陪我们。喜欢去那里就去哪里，不用在周末和一大堆的人挤来挤去！哈哈！人很矛盾的，老公每星期四到礼拜天都要出海！我又呱呱叫，但如果老公每天在家就代表没有收入咯！想怎样？！　

红醩酒，鸡

红醩酒

红醩鸡

顺便也upload， 两个月前，我亲手熬的红醩酒。足足等了它三个月！！噔噔！实在很好味道！！　

Pasar Malam

这里的pasar malam 不到10分钟就可以回家了！又快，又省钱，因为没有东西卖！连最基本的asam laksa 都没有！sien 到！

没有变，回家只好泡奶给两个宝贝喝，眼看两个宝贝喝着的，转眼回头看，哈？睡着了！！ 才8pm! 很好，我可以写blog了。。 写完后，是pps时间！哈哈！

久违了部落格

好像有半年没有写blog 了。时间过得真快， 我女儿好像就快上二年级了。我儿子也快要报名上一年级了。说到这样子，我是不是应该全职在家咯！（其实我差不多好像是全职在家，真不好意思每个月都有粮出给我，这么好的老板和老板娘那里找？！ 嘻嘻！）

一切由现在开始，得强迫自己写blog，那样我的两个宝贝才会有我最有价值的财产！

天啊！时间不早了！两个宝贝都还没冲凉，还没煮饭！想还是去pasar malam 解决吧！

哟！！ 怎么我的小宝贝没有穿衣服的！！！ 待续。。。
