ARGH!

14th May 2011

Sleepy! Not good idea to put their replacement class at 8.15am. Can hardly wake up. 

14th May 2010

lil' girl has been yakking non-stop since we stepped into the house.

HELP MEI!!!

R we going 🇯🇵 Japan ?

Che-che asked if we’re going Japan while I was ironing coz she’ll be so bored in SIN. Say not fair went holiday with Aricia 3x (2018, Vietnam n Bangkok) so I’ll need to bring her for a mother-daughter trip. 老娘怕怕！Seeing how she spent in Japan, I’m so afraid the expenditure will be a lot and I’m not going to pay. Why don’t she go alone at least she’ll manage her own expenses, not enough she won’t spend it without any thoughts. 

Said she will only come out $500/-. Daddy can come out with the rest of the money. Wah……. very unlikely he will allow her. “Never earn money want to spend so much money!” With their medical - eczema jabs and eye therapies and now the renovation, she thinks her daddy prints money? 

Told her July is very hot, why must go Japan? Hubby went on my FUK flight in July and it was so so so hot. We wanted to go back into a mall everytime we step out for less than 10mins. 

She wants to see the Itsukushima Junja Otorii in summer, she wants to see it in water. We saw tori gate in Yufuin what?! She can go on her own another time I told her, “the gate will be there. What can happen to the gate?” 

“You never know. You see that time we went to that church in Paris. Then it was burnt the next year. Then the other church in New Zealand, earthquake now cannot see.” 

I found the humour in her reply so told her “So the point is we can nvr go anywhere coz places will collapse the next year!” Haha 😂 

She burst out laughing and started sulking “that’s not the point …..”

She even asked why can’t we drive? Omg! Just the 2 of us leh! Drive not worth it at all, train rides will be cheaper. I don’t want to spend extra money on parking fees and all that, there’ll be so many extra hidden costs. Dowan …later spend too much money must row a boat back to Singapore, no money to eat there also.

5 sleeps since, place is still 60% to complete unpacking.

Some portion of reno work had to be delayed so my kitchen is still in partial mess. Whatever I could unpacked n organised was already done.

The girls still have some books which can't be unpacked coz... work incomplete in their room. So, on their floor are 1 box for che-che's room /4 boxes for lil' one's room. I thought I asked Ah-lao to help me put up some stuffs in their uppermost cabinet?

Did I mention the high ceiling? I ordered ladder online, should be able to unpack on own tmrw. 2 more boxes in my room, 1 contained my bags, goldbars, diamonds (haha!) which can't unpack coz they need to paste something over our master room balcony door as our walk-in is there.. Enticing them right? Another box is for living room display which is also not done yet.

My baking box is still intact at the yard area. No space to place in the kitchen yet.

For 2 short mornings, went back old place to pack somemore stuffs which we couldn't pack when we moved. Movers came on Wed, we officially moved on Sat. Still needed some stuffs, that's why picking up after everyone else.

Wow! Seems like a lot of work undone.

Tired! Seen 3 docs so far, 1 X-ray done. I've been sitting to sleep for the past 12 nights, can't lie down otherwise cough n get breathless.

And I think I've grown a little braver. I dare to catch millipedes (with tissue of course!). Maybe gimme another few more months I dare to kill cockroaches.

Yeeks!!

A question posed by older girl. Why do Malays like cats?

My answer was prob it's linked to the cats n Egypt - always hear of mummified cats and not dogs, something abt cats are sacred animal??!? And Egypt's a muslim country. But also coz they can't touch dog saliva so they can keep cats as pets if they want to.

Friends, what's the answer?

Was craving for laksa last night. And this morning messaged to "chope" their laksa. They don't cook a lot per day that's why. Came down for my order (lunch n packed for dinner so will be easier for me before tutor comes in).

So yummy! Messaged hubby if he wanted for dinner n packed one for him. Not sure if he'll like it but it's nice to me. Chilli is nice too!

Great! Child labour! Now I'm relaxing.

The same muffins (again) coz I need to clear the buttermilk. And cookies. That explains the kitchen is so messy.

==== AKAN DATANG ====

😢 😢 I spoke too soon.

Che-che spilled my vanilla essence and I don't have any extra bottle. I really have to run to NEX. Or maybe ...I should call for help from neighbours.

"Knock knock! Ehh…... Hello ..

..hello .... Anybody

there?"

==== A FEW MINUTES LATER ====

Yah! Seriously I had to go out lor!

When it comes to baking is, I want to try all recipes.

Then I get feedbacks from girls and mom will tell me

"the previous one is nicer than this etc." Now, the problem is ... I forgot which recipe I used previously and like I don't bake daily to rmbr.

So now I definitely have to make an indication; start discarding printed recipes n have a "to keep" recipe.

This recipe today is TO KEEP. It's moist.

Oh well, sooner or later, I will end up giving away the rests of my baking recipes books in the bomb shelter.

My Che-Che is one of the 2 girls in her class to get the Super Reader. I had a good laugh when I asked her how many books did she borrow from the school library. She said "2!" The other girl too!

"What abt the rest of your class? 1?" "Yah 1 only.

They usually bring books from home."

Massaging her ponytail and head. Hahaha! Little Miss Shortie is so funny! The SAs laughed at her; the guy sitting next to her tried to control his laughter. One

SA came and tried to pull down for her but still reaching her ponytail

She saw us (adults) sitting on the chair trying, then exclaimed “I want to try..” Sat herself down and this is the  scene 😂

11th May 2012

Her first trip to the optician. It's confirmed that she IS DESPICABLE MISCHIEVOUS!!! Optician said she can see. He had his way of finding out if kids were lying.

At one point he made her write down. (phone batt went flat couldn't take pic of her doing that).

He kept shaking his head and I suspected he tricked her. Ok, at least she sat on that chair. That should make her happy already right?

I asked her if she really can't see. Days ago she kept saying "I cannot see." Today, I asked she gave me that sheepish smile and said she could see. @-@!!

11th May 2012

Seeing the girls eating their ice-cream is tempting me to get the ice-cream maker attachment for my KitchenAid…. but I'm only encouraging them to eat more cold stuffs. *cough cough*

Footnote : actually I feel buying ice-cream attachment then Cuisinart maker was such a hasty decision. I can count with one hand how many times I actually made ice-cream 😬.  If I were to make a normal portion nobody can finish it. And what lil’ one likes doesn’t mean che-che likes it too. I can probably only make my keto ice-cream? Got rid of it in 2022 to make way for Thermomix. 

ARGH! My passport!

Hubby suggested to go JB the Mother’s Day weekend. Aricia dowan to go coz said she has HBL on Monday

When che-che heard the convo from her room, shouted “if aricia dowan to go she can stay at home. I want to go “I’m bored!” Then next minute she exclaimed “but I don’t have my passport. I just submitted my passport today!” 

She talked and answered herself. Haha! 

Her USA 🇺🇸 Bound Journey in just 3mths!!
