These pictures were taken at the Westin Hotel today where we had buffet lunch. That’s me with Alycia and Sherilyn at the dessert counter. Alycia’s eyes were fixated at the pralines and when I was busy carrying Sherilyn, she managed to stealthily popped a few into her mouth without me noticing. Daddy saw but kept…
This pic was taken 2 hours after the flood water came gushing to our neighbourhood from a river. A few hours later, the water level was up to my car window. Neighbours’ cars all submerged in muddy water. This is a back-dated post. When our house was almost destroyed by the great flood last year,…
My sil recently got a cool gadget for the gals from Hong Kong, but mummy and daddy can also use it. It’s a anti-mosquito device, specially designed for babies. The device operates by emitting ultrasounds within a range of 3 metres which annoy mosquitoes without causing any undesired effect to people or animals. It operates…
Chinese dumpling bought from the pasar malam (night market). My mil makes one of the tastiest ‘hum yoke choong’ or chinese dumpling. Her dumplings are bursting with ‘hum’ or fillings inside the glutinous rice. She stuffs her dumplings with generous amount of pork meat, chinese chestnuts, beans, salted egg yolks, mushrooms and a special dried…
Earlier, I had written about how obsessed Sherilyn was with her nappy. It’s been more than 2 weeks now and Sherilyn’s obsession with her nappies is becoming more intense now and she has even rubbed off the obsession to her cheh cheh. This morning, both gals wore a nappy cape round their shoulders and ran…
Pine nuts and pumpkin seeds. Sherilyn counting her pine nuts away as she pops each nut into her mouth. I always stock up boxes of healthy snacks in my house for the gals to munch on when their little tummies rumble or simply to use as baits to stop a toddler’s meltdown.Alycia and Sherilyn’s favourite…
This is what we have for lunch today : A lung-nourishing soup…. ‘loh hon koa’ (a brown black dried fruit with seeds inside) boiled with snow fungus, ‘mutt zhoa’ (dried honey dates), some red dates, ‘kei chee’ (wolfberries) and kampung chicken (free range). Stir-fried yee meen with diced chicken breast, tofu pok (tofu puff), vegetables,…
Before Alycia and Sherilyn came along, daddy would sometimes carry mummy to the bed like a white knight sweeping his princess off her feet. After the both of you came along, daddy complains of backache to mummy all the time but the pain seems to have miraculously vanished when you both asked to be carried….
My lunch menu for my maid to cook yesterday was a wholesome one. This is what the gals had for lunch yesterday: Oat meal cooked in ABC & sweet corn soup. I added some homemade chicken nuggets (leftover from the previous night’s dinner), chopped french beans, cheese and sprinkled with some pine nuts. I use…
Alycia drawing a birthday cake, balloons and popsicles. Eversince Alycia attended pre-school early this year, the artistic sense in her has been uncovered. She loves writing, colouring and drawing. I guess daddy’s artistic genes have rubbed off on her coz daddy can draw pretty well, really damn chun wan. That was one of the reasons…
Alycia and Sherilyn have never been easy feeders when it comes to medicine. Thankfully, they rarely fell sick when they were younger, maybe once or twice a year. When they were younger, there must be at least 3 people around in order to get them to swallow their medicine and those sick days were full…
Sherilyn has always loved music, singing and dancing. When she was a baby and cried each time, singing and playing soft music had always comforted her and lulled her to sleep. I have recently discovered a new way of teaching my 2 gals. Since it’s really difficult to make them sit still classroom style with…
