Family

2014-06-11T05:43:00.001+08:00

Family.

Used to be a unit that consisted of my parents and siblings. Now, my husband and daughters.

I knew I would marry and have a couple of kids. Just never contemplated a messy house and never ending house chores.

Nevertheless, I am proud of my life so far and this will be what I will be working on for now: healthy lifestyle.

Shadows

2011-07-31T10:46:00.001+08:00

I took these pictures a few weeks back and had already posted on mt face book.

The morning light casted such a brilliant silhouette that I absolutely have to snap the pictures.

These show the great camera phone that I am having... Arc

And what brilliant weather it is in sunny Singapore!

I cannot stop laughing...

See what Darling No 2 had got herself into...

She was under my table and when I called her, after combing Darling No 2, I gave her a peek and saw she had hid herself at the far corner and still refuses to come out. It has been so for the last 15 minutes.

Hahaha....
Wonder what has gotten into her, she has always come running to me whenever I call her name

hahaha

4 June 2011

This is a day of celebration, my friend, SO, was baptized today, 4 June 2011, Saturday, 3.40 pm at the YWCA Fort Canning.

I am happy for her and happier still that she has finally committed to this step.

Did a powerpoint for her, she is at her one week church camp now, don't think she got time to read her emails.

I believe religion is the biggest and most important support one needs. It can affirm and bring out our innate beliefs, enhance our self worth, help us walk the path of righteousness; in short, be a better person from history.

Over whelming love

2011-06-03T20:15:00.001+08:00

Over whelming.

My mom really thinks I eat a lot!

This is like 2 extra portions of the recommended portion for a normal adult.

I did not eat the chicken that came with this lot, I am vegetarian, remember?

swell, I say (eat)!

Dead dogs

2011-05-31T23:15:00.001+08:00

My Darlings seems dead tired, even more so than me!

Every night, day after day!

Though I wake them up, yes, I do. And make them breakfast, cook their dinner, clean their pee tray...

Think they spend their energy barking only. Nothing else. Don't see them doing anything strenuous.

Dead dogs!

Xperia arc - Auto focus

2011-05-22T23:58:00.001+08:00

Wow, there is auto photo taking!
I am definitely loving this phone more now!

Just need to set the flash as auto and the capture as Smile detection and you are set!

See my photos, all taken by just pointing the camera at myself!

More favorite things

2011-05-22T15:41:00.001+08:00

More if my favorite things.

Taking pictures so that I can remember them. Clearing my stuff so that it will be easier to pack later.

I intend to clear away most of my stuff. My mission is life is to experience things and to help people.I have to realize that there are simply too many things to keep from everything that I do. It is enough that I have gone through the experience; hence there is no need to keep anything physical with me.

Enjoy the pictures! ! !

Remembrance

2011-05-22T15:32:00.001+08:00

Was clearing my old stuff.

This year is a year of changes, be out political or my work life or live life. and if you haven't got my new mobile number, let me know.

Anyway I took out my box and saw these 2 watches which I had kept from my grandfather's collectibles.

Brought me back to my younger days.

And here are some of my most favorite things.

The nice red hair clip that accompanied me in my junior college days, the sunflower in my dating days, my first pager. I got it with my second pay check.first went to this key pouch that was meant for my dad.which I am using now.
And the black phone pouch my Darling No 1 got me on his trip to Taiwan.he got me 2 actually but I kept only 1. The trinkets from my childhood, kindergarten days.

Oh, how time flies!

Bathing Time

2011-05-21T18:52:00.001+08:00

Took me a good 45 minutes to bath the naughty duo.

Their coat made it hard to wet them as their under coat was not stripped yet, for some months now.

And their frivolous nature made it impossible to get them to stay still.

And then, with my neighbor's walking around, and the noise from the playground below, they had a great deal to see and bark at!

They are still wet now and I don't have any intention to use the hair dryer as I just want to bath myself. Still sticky from walking them and exhausted from my yoga (brought them out immediately after I reach home from yoga), I need to clean myself up too!

Enjoy the pictures!

Check out these two ads on the Straits Times yesterday,20 May 2011.

The green ads came first, from StarHub.

Funny thing is, I didn't notice much about it till I turned the page and thought my mind is going haywire when I saw two of the same ads.

So I flipped back and noticed the different color and then the different companies/telco s.

guess now the telco s are hitting on this trends now, just now the I phone trends earlier.

Fire in the sky

2011-05-18T07:01:00.001+08:00

Guess where was this taken?

It was near a car park in the east. It stuck as very special because it was like a fire in the sky.

The nice thing about this is it was taken from my new mobile, Sony Ericsson Xperia arc :)

And, and, and, I am using Swype to do this post, so was my last one.

I wrote earlier about the Barley Drink and Snow Lotus Soup.

But I forgot to tell you how long to cook them. Actually I prefer letting the soup slowly mature so I always cook over small fire. that means you can simmer the soup over 2 hours. You can also use a Slow Cooker for this purpose. It makes the soup extra sweet.

Stay Home Day

2011-05-10T09:17:00.000+08:00

Today is a Stay Home Day for me.

Wanted to bring my Darlings out, but the thunder frightened my Darling No 2 so much that he had to take shelter in my lap. (He wasn't in any mood to go out, not that I don't want to bring him).

I then decided to boil some soup.

This is a $7 pre-packed Chinese soup from my local neighborhood shop - Shop & Save. I am sure you can also get this from else where. Normally the price ranges from $3.50 to $5. I got this as I had never tried this recipe before. And I always buy those soup that "cools" the body. That's the power of Chinese herbs!

This is how the package looks like: Snow Lotus Soup. I did not use the claypot to cook my soup though, I use a normal metal pot. And I just found out there are other Lotus Soup out there too!

Click on the pictures to view them in larger size

Well, if you can see, here are some preparation guide and picture of what the soup is suppose to do:

When I tear open the packet, you can see that all the ingredients are packed individually. There's also this white thing that's wrapped in the plastic white protective sheet, normally for fruits.

Here's a closer view. I think this is the special lotus thing.

And last night I soaked some Chinese Barley and you can see the bubbles forming on the top of the water surface. From Wikipedia, Barley also can be used to make beer. Thus I deduce you can either drink beer or barley to cool your body! ;p Well, since I can't feed beer to my Darlings, I choose a simple Barley Drink!

Well here are the simple ingredients:

1 Cup of Barley

3 Cups of Water (may be added to taste)

3 Pieces of Winter Melon

3 Pieces of Rock Sugar (may be added to taste)

*Water must cover the ingredients

Well, it is a rainy day after all :)

Hope the rain will cool down the Earth and my fiery heart!

Today is a special day. It is the Election Day for Vote2011 and it is the day I get
special stuff for my Darlings!

Got these for my Darling No 2 because he seems to be really itchy these few
days.

There's the whole thing!

See how Darling 2 and Darling 3 is now.

And how I got them to sit so still?
With all the treats, of course

Funny analogy about Singapore 2011 Election

2011-05-03T21:09:00.000+08:00

Saw this from RenoTalk (Link is here http://www.renotalk.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=40298)

"I need your urgent advice about employing a maid. As a busy mother, I need someone reliable to help out at home.
My maid is from Profits Agency Pte (PAP) and she has worked for me for a long time. Her mother worked for my parents and did an excellent job, so I had faith in her. For several years her performance has been very good, but recently she has become arrogant and insensitive, and is making lots of mistakes.

For example:

1) She flooded my kitchen – she told me that the drain pipe has blocked (she was supposed to clear it once a month but didn’t). Then she assured me that it is very rare and won’t happen again in the near future. Guess what? It flooded again within a year!

2) She didn’t close a window and my terrier dog escaped. I was so worried cos he is dangerous and could bite lots of people. After the incident, she didn’t apologise and just shrugged her shoulders saying “What to do, it has happened.” Fortunately my neighbor found the dog and we locked it up again.

3) Without consulting me, she has been bringing in strangers for my house's maintenance work. She says they charge low wages and keep costs down, but they eat my food, make a lot of noise and rest on my bed. I think they even tried to seduce my husband. It stopped feeling like my home, more like a cheap hotel, and I don’t always want to come back at the end of the day.

4) When she first came to work for me, I instructed her to clean the different parts of the house at least once a week. But for some time she has stopped taking care of the bedrooms of PP and H; they are now dirty and messy. I asked why and she told me that the kids had been disobedient, so she was neglecting their bedrooms as a punishment (she has forgotten that she is paid to clean all the rooms).

Even though my maid has worked for me for many years and I value what she has done in the past, I think she is now getting complacent. Her attitude is imperious and dismissive. She ignores my comments and basically treats my feedback as "noise". I wrote to the agency about her behavior; they assured me that they are the best agency around and all their maids are “Commited to Serve” – but I think it is just rhetoric and I don’t see that in her actions. Her salary is much higher than maids in other countries, but the agency say this is to keep her honest and stop her moving to another employer. They say there is a limited supply of maids, and Singapore isn’t big enough for more than one good maid agency, so I should not trust their competitors.

I have to decide whether to renew my maid’s 5-year employment contract. When we discussed this she said that she is now part of a team, and if I want her I must also accept her friends doing part-time work for me. One friend is very inexperienced, can't do basic tasks or explain what she intends to do. I suspect that she is actually underage. When interviewed, she only seemed interested in her days-off and visiting Universal Studios. When she couldn't answer my questions she stomped her foot and exclaimed, "I don't know what to say!" But I am still expected to pay her a high salary.

Now there happen to be a few other maid agencies - Workhard Pte (WP), New Solutions Pte (NSP), Super Personnel Pte (SPP) and Star Domestica Pte (SDP) - that offered me some helpers who seem sincere, genuine and intelligent. They are keen to work, willing to assist me and have a good attitude. I know that they may take a bit of time to learn how everything works, but frankly I am inclined to give them a chance.

People say that the devil you know is better than one you don’t. But I feel that I can’t tahan my current maid anymore. Do you think I should sack my current maid and try out a new one? Appreciate your advice.

Footnote: I live in Tanjong Pagar GRC and it seems like I have no choice about my maid agency afterall - I will have to stick with my current maid. For those of you who are fortunate enough to have a choice, celebrate your blessed privilege and exercise your choice wisely. My best wishes to you

Gastronomia

2011-04-20T21:36:00.000+08:00

Darling No 1 knew I wasn't feeling too good and gave me something nice!

He didn't buy it but he gave me anyway!

Wow! I thought it was just a chocolate cake but the texture was really nice! And it is sweet with a bit of the dark chocolate bitterness that I love so much! It really turned my mood!

Too bad I couldn't share with Darling No 2 or Darling No 3. And it is all for me *grins*

It came in a microwavable box for easy reheat.

And once I opened it, you can see the glistering chocolate just waiting to melt in your mouth!
When I lifted the cover, Darling No 2 came running to me! and he never does that except for really nice food!
But I have never fed him chocolate before, so imagine that, he knows!

And this is after a few bites. I just couldn't stop at one!
And it motivated me to blog about it! haha

It is really a mood enhancer... Girls, go for it! and Guys, this is something you have to get for your girl friends :)
