Staffs are so friendly, helpful and alert. Will inform us beforehand if they know the cat’s behaviour changing etc..

Lil’ one is a happy girl today

Lunch is ready.

The one in yellow plate is mine. (But I think I lost my appetite now. Maybe I have that for dinner?)

The one in the pan is theirs.

Rest a while and then I want to start cooking dinner so I can clean up the kitchen and relax aka stare at the walls.

Sometimes I’m just so proud of myself

but still must wait for the 3 critics’ feedback. Ehh… actually the girls won’t eat vegetables so they have nothing much to eat from here except the mince meat

.

One more fried egg n steam dish with rice cooker and I’m done cooking dinner.

Then it’s time to clean the kitchen.

Wahhh…I look at the glasses already want to pengsang. But wait! If anybody can afford to live here means they can afford to have at least 2 helpers.

Can only see and build my own sandcastle LEGO house.

5th Dec 2019

This should be our last concert for the year.

5th Dec 2019

After 2 weeks of hiatus, (n still nursing the d#%* cough) it feels good to be back despite being slow n tired in catching up today’s class.

Left for PP as lil’ one meeting her friend there so decided I’ll slip in some shopping errands here n do their annual eye-check. Say I’m sick n tired of PP, still back here at the end of day. It’s the familiarity lah!

Initially asked lil’ one to bus home herself after her outing as I’m going for concert with che-che. Then hubby says he’ll pick her up on his way home 爸爸心痛心肝宝贝

. And figure che-che and I might just need to do a clean up n change our clothes n proceed to Esplanade from here. Asked her pre-concert talk timing and she gave me her trademark eyes and mouth wide open look. Guess what? She thought we were going out out and packed t-shirt n short!!

Looks like I need to go back home then. Sigh....this girl ah! Now that I go back home, I have no excuse to eat snake on housework today.

1st attempt in Cake Brownies. Let's see how it turns out...tho' I always prefer fudge brownies.

Footnote written in 2021 : I used to complain my oven is small, can’t bake bigger batch. Now that I have a bigger oven, I hardly bake.

Turns out nice but I'm too kan-cheong. Didn't let cool down long enuf n ...sob...sob...next time must buy another similar mold.

The kids enjoying their brownies

Footnote written in 2021 : When they still like bakes. Now they don't.

Took a bite, yup! Nice..but still prefer Pierre H's moist fudgy brownie. Meanwhile put the rests in a square pan. Hopefully turns out ok, coz was suppose to decorate it.

Sob..sobs...difficult to decorate leh! Told ah girl, but Ah girl not so disappointed coz..she's busy playing with the inflatable ball play. sigh!

Footnote written in 2021 : Ugly food tastes nice. Just some self consolation.

Ah girl's work. Hmmm...did these 6 only.

Footnote written in 2021 : Think this is one of the things I wanted to repeat Baking with the girls, but they’re not interested in this now.

Even when they do, they just want to bake n eat. Mummy prefers to decorate nice nice. I think I’m abit borliao

This looks really yummy, but I can feel my tummy queasy and churning in protest.

While the girls were out of the house, I spent my time getting this done. Then did a simple design on the labels and the results - a set of neater & uniformed looking spice containers. Now I’ll hv to leave it outside until I get the rack up. Pity, I would love to keep the spices out of sight but no place in their old location where they were previously stacked on top of one another and fell topsy turvy behind cabinet door if need to take sauce or whatever. #housekeeping#

Those were the days when the girls buay paiseh kind. Would dance around outside, nowadays it’s eyes on devices.

Christmas cards

Relationships used to be so intimate without technology. Letters used to take a while to reach the recipient and it makes us looking forward to opening the letter box. We reply the letter and seal the envelopes with our saliva and make our way down to the nearest postal office or postbox 📮.

Now we embrace with the times and technology. Although technology makes communication more effective, verbal communication is lost. Letters are unheard of, I’ve even had a mail returned to the sender just coz the sender didn’t know where to write my address on the envelope!!! - Gen Z kids!! Do we even need letterbox in the future? Now all we get are trash advertisements slotted into our letter boxes. Nobody has sent me letter for the longest time; very few people send me Christmas and CNY cards.  

Once upon a time I could get a box of 10-12 cards and could easily send them out. Then I got a box of 5 cards and could utilise all 5 cards. Slowly it got to the point where I’ll have one extra card to throw away coz I won’t be using one card for the next year’s Xmas - recipients are mainly the same people IYKYK what I mean. 

This year I got 3 (+1 more after this pic was taken) individual cards

And now with local postage increase, I can’t use the printed sticker labels at all. I used to have 50c stamps for local postage (when it was 31c) but obviously I can’t use it with that 1c increase. Duh! 

Isn’t it just sad that everyone just WhatsApp or put a post in FB now to send greetings? Soon, one day Hallmark can close down their physical stores.
