Packing sauce
The other time (when I made pasta sauce) I just sealed up the bag and I spent another day cutting up the bag, rebag and re-vacumn seal. Somehow I didn’t take note the number of bags I initially sealed, months later I found one pack dropped in between the meats there’s freeze burn on it 🤣. So yah still struggling to find ways to vacumn seal or I can simple just use ziploc bags and …maybe another struggle somehow …coz I’m quite dumb doing all these 😬.
But I love how neat the blocks look when I did the soupe a l'oignon gratinée so used the molds. Just giving myself additional work only 😬. I couldn’t wait to see how the packing will turn out, will it be as messy as before?
I can only pack one mold, the pasta sauce in the bottom mold (in the freezer) wasn’t frozen at all.
Didn’t melt as fast as before coz the weather is cooling today 🌧️ + only one mistake made as I put in the smaller bag. It was dirty at the top of the bag. Once I knew which bag to use, the bigger 25cm x 20cm bag, packing was easy and fast. A teeny weeny bit of water was sucked into the machine 🤭. Double vacuumed them.
So now knowing how forgetful I am with items in the fridge and freezer, I need to figure out how to bag all into one bag/box to organize in the freezer. Need to do a stock-take on the fridge door also.
Doing myself, the forgetful person, a favour by labelling on the bags
Aw…. tomato stain !! Tried with sodium percarbonate and didn’t manage to clean off. The second attempt (this pic) with baking soda + liquid detergent did remove a little.
Soaked these 3x in total. The last with baking soda and vinegar.
Still have one more tray in the fridge. Sigh…. the cleaning.

“I told ya”
I told ya that I’m not giving you anymore breaks. Boiled x2 chrysanthemum drinks
Using the fan to cool the drink, before transferring into the container. So troublesome but no choice when I always need to finish work faster.
@ 2pm - finally after washing Ms Thermie it’s time to cook lil’ one’s pasta sauce
Smells good. She’s been looking forward to her pasta
Each cube is 100g, I put in 824g of tomatoes so I get exactly 8 cubes. As for the tomato juice it’s 80g each. In the bowl is 161g of juice which I will freeze them next time when I empty out this mold.
Thinking if I should get one more similar mold? Honestly I prefer to seal up with the vacumn sealer but it’s so difficult to suck the air out with liquids inside.

Need to go back to tuina again. #cannotfalldownwhenold# #daijiliaoliao#

She saw this in the Japanese mart and wanted to try and cook.
Presenting.....
Che-che's okonomiyaki with no cabbage. Suddenly wanted to eat so couldn't thaw pork belly in time, she replaced it with luncheon meat 😂. Can lah! Luncheon meat is also meat 🤣
Note to her : please clean the showroom kitchen well after use 👍

@ NTUC. Suddenly the people around me have their recycling bags with them.
Depending on the bag I carry out, I didn't have my recycling bag with me today. anyway I need the plastic bags for trash so l'm not environmentally friendly and 5c won't stop me 🤭 from rejecting a bag

Spent backbreaking 3hrs just cleaning n packing these 5 packs of peanuts roots.
Lil' one Aricia Ting miss drinking this, requested to brew this for her. Haiyah! Backache also must do it lor....
Can only last her for 5 weeks before I do the next round of bulk cleaning.
#ineedkoyoknow#
Footnote written in 2026 :
Haven't been able to find fresh peanut roots online now. And I'm lazy to go to market in the morning.
Lil' one refuses to drink without peanut roots, says just the herbs alone taste different. Sigh...

Oh my! I didn't know that i have to go down to Service Ctr to replace Casio G-shock battery.
Needed to change her broken strap (dunno how this girl use her watch), and then the moment the guy opened the watch (assumingly to take out the strap)
- my battery died when I only changed it a month or so ago before her SA1
- rubber thing is a little crooked. Apparently the guy at the watch shop didn't do a good job in capping back the backing
So it's an important lesson learnt.
Next time just make her bring an alarm clock with her, only need AAA battery . Anyway, she'll be happy if her watch spoil lah, she wants to buy another colour BUT coz mummy says why need so many watches just use until spoil then change #stingymom#

The joke is on the lil' one.
She wet her bed at 3-4am this morning. And so I asked her in the afternoon why did she wet her bed.
Her reply was "I heard the thunder and I ...
"And it rained on your bed before it rained outside?'
🌧️ 💧 💧 💧
Must remind her not to rain on her bed again tonight.

Ms Thermie
A follow up from my previous blog entry
Ms Thermie’s hospitalisation on the 10th, Friday coz that’s the only day I’m in to hand her over. The earliest they could take her from me was on the 7th which was considered fast after reporting this to D on 5th night. But I wasn’t in so … I informed them that I threw away the box so they came with a box and styrofoam. Just glad that I didn’t have to send it down myself coz I wouldn’t know how to support Ms Thermie in the car.
On Monday 13th they WhatsApp me. On 14th a quotation was sent over. $125 is considered not that bad already. No choice also, I had to service it otherwise it won’t work.
It's been 9 days and I'm feeling so handicap without Ms Thermie.
Have been eating porridge with dishes until so sianz just coz I'm lazy to bring down my rice cooker.
Anyway don't think we're used to eating rice cooked in rice cooker now 😬. The rice tastes lighter, different.
Finished repair on Thursday, 16th and earliest delivery they can do is on Saturday. I requested for them to deliver on a weekday coz I do not want to commit staying at home waiting for Ms Thermie on a weekend when it’s our family time, time we have our meals outside.
Discharged on 20th. @ 1.27pm my baby is home!
Oh no! They tore away my blue blue sticker 🤣, I should have written a memo to them not to tear off the sticker. Now my baby looks different.
Checking that I still have my bookmarked recipes inside. But it seems whatever I had cooked is not shown in my ‘recent cooked’ 😢. First thing I did was to run a pre-cleaning, the step that didn’t allow me to go further before I sent in for servicing.
Pomfret prepared, egg prepared, rice prepared. What I love about having a Thermomix is the ability to stack and cook, apart from making sambal (avoid oil splatters in kitchen). Just 15mins and rice + 2 dishes are ready. Tonight’s dinner also consist of a soup and two other dishes (one packed veggie from economical stall, one ready made honey chicken. I popped these two into the convection oven)
I miss rice. Got so sick and tired of porridge just coz I was lazy to bring down the rice cooker. Anyway we’re not used to eating rice cooked in a rice cooker now.
💕💕Ms Thermie, welcome home baby! But I’m sorry I need to make you work hard tomorrow coz your MC was too long and I’m short-handed. I need to make lil’ one’s pasta sauce and boil chrysanthemum drinks. Have a good rest now.

Always lots to talk to S when we meet or don't meet 🤣. It's nice to once in a while meet at our
usual place and enjoy each other's company.
Thank you for taking your precious weekend to meet me.

The look on girlfriend's face when she saw the size of our luggages. To think that I was going to show off how shocking our 5 days only trip and I came back with 3.
(It's mainly all her favourite snacks! Now one can understand how much priority over her Japanese snacks she had when she had to go back US in Jan.
She told me, "I still had to ration month by month so l don't finish everything at one go." 🤭)
"Torlong lah Lily. So small your bag! Can you please get a bigger bag?" Haha! Goes to show how I really hate to travel with huge and many luggages. I mean if only I can & if there is such thing. I hope there is disposable top, disposable pants, disposable this and that. I believe I can just travel with my haversack? 😀#thoughtshewillbeshockedhowmuchwebought#

Told you somebody just loves her noodles. But she forgot to mention ネギない。She's the ネギない、やさいない person which left the lady cooking okonomiyaki baffled 🤣

Short lived happiness when instructor Dawn messaged us yesterday that class would resume.
Then today, new regulations.
Revoke the KTV licences, throw all the humsup men together n they can hug each other (with no medical attention given to them), to that boyfriend who sponsored his "girlfriend" over (tho she may not be the #1 source), I hope u know she's not faithful to u... or perhaps you're her pimp?
Torlong can everyone just do your part?!
Complacency gets u nowhere.

Last Tuesday lil' one told her tutor

The know how to siam (dialect) aka evade Queen
lioked with tutor that she h.
Let her rest today, just mild fever at 4am. Thank goodness it's PH today.
Lil' one told me a lot of absentees yesterday, and it's a valid reason to miss school after her jab in the morning. I really didn't know until I checked with another tutor. (g) #howwouldiknow#
#我的小算命师＃
Anyway, it's expected lah! Everyone gets the same after reaction. I just need to be extra careful with her everytime she has fever.

Hairstylist partition her hair bit by bit, said her hand tired. Haha! She hasn't seen the even thicker Che-che's hair. Which reminds me Youli Song last time still want to re-tie her bun for her.
