Our Sunday – 22 March 2015

Everyone started their day early today. By 10am, we left the house for KL Sentral station for the mil to check in for her flight to Hong Kong.  Once that was done, we hurried to Mid Valley Megamall to have breakfast at Han Room, after which hubs bought nyonya kuih from Nyonya Colors for the mil to bring to Hong Kong.  Hubs then hurried back to KL Sentral station to drop off his mum.

In the morning, Sherilyn asked her grandma to prepare some dough for her to make tong yuen (rice balls). The ever indulgent grandma quickly whipped up the dough and kept it in the fridge.  In the afternoon, the 2 sisters rolled tong yuen and have them filled with peanut butter and Nutella.

I was actually very reluctant to have these 2 troublemakers play dough rolling on a day where our part-time maid is off, knowing that they will not be easily satisfied with the small fistful of rice dough that grandma had prepared. I knew that the drama queen would have something up her sleeves eventually and true to what I had anticipated, this fella poured more flour into a bowl to whip up more dough!   Needless to say, you can already guess the mess they created.  Flour was blown around the house and bits of hardened dough were everywhere — stuck on the chairs, floor, hair and clothes.   So…. there goes my rest and relax Sunday, which I thought I could have. I have always wanted a Sunday where I don’t have to wash dishes and do much chores but I ended up doing everything today.    Oh well, since it’s their last day of school holiday, I thought I’d just let this be their last school holiday activity.

 

 

 

 

After the girls were done with rolling the balls, I boiled some ginger water with brown sugar and pandan leaves.

 

The tong yuen came in all shapes and sizes, as you can see here….

 

Today marks the end of the first term school holiday.  Tomorrow my slavery and zombified days will start again. I. Hate. Waking. Up. At. 4:45am!   Tomorrow also marks the commencement of  my days slogging and sweating in the kitchen… for the next 5 weeks!

    1. Hi Irene, I sleep by 11pm every nite. I take 1 or 2 power naps (15-20 min each) everyday, but still not enough. I need at least 7 hrs of sleep everyday to feel fresh but sadly, the most I can get on school-going days is only 5 hrs **sobs**
