On the second day of CNY, FIL asked us to get the hydraulic cartridge for him if we manage to see it at any of those hardware shops. Oh boy, it was just a second day of CNY, why was him wanting it hurrying? He could still get it after the 5th day of CNY, what’s more festive season is for celebrating, gathering, eating, playing and any of those blasts. I just can’t understand why my in-laws like to do something irrelevant to this festive season, my MIL even scolded us not mopping the floors and not washing the toilets on the first day of CNY. Her complains been annoying me a lot!

I was shocked when the man told me that his sister’s family is going to move into our empty house. The news was like giving me an inform but not in any form of discussion. I could not voice out any of my disagreements because it is not my house although i have my name on the S&P, so i didn’t have right to say “why didn’t you to put this matter to me before you agreed her to move in?”. I knew her family has been having hard time, but moving to my house is just like taking our advantage. I asked my man about her given reason why she wanted to move to our empty house, he said because her hubby’s shop has closed for good and now got himself a new job working at material handling company and since her and her hubby’s working area are nearby our empty house, so they decided to move to there for the sake of saving transportation and toll fees as well as saving time away from road jam. I was so speechless after listening those funny reasons, the feeling was simply like we’re giving our house away…

Finally i have settled my packing. But, good fortune is not with us because the kids started falling sick one by one. First, the elder boy had fever and diarrhea 2 days before his final exam. I was panicked and worried, luckily he still managed to attend his exam. Then came to the second boy, he had diarrhea and vomit, well, he has recovered. Last, the girl turned to down with fever, a day before we are going back home. The fever subsided after taking Ibuprofen, but who knows the fever will strike her again or not later in evening? When i thought of taking a peaceful rest after my lunch, the elder boy came and complained that he has sore throat and cannot swallow his saliva. Oh gosh, my heart sank to bottom right after he finished his sentences, sigh, how come all these sickness like to visit everyone at one go. And why at this time when i am so ready to go back home? Shit…sien!

I am going back to my home country very soon, in another 15 days. So before leaving, i have to clear the stock in my fridge. Found the Land O’ Lakes butter and Philadelphia cream cheese has almost reached its expiration dates, so off i made the cheese cake topping with strawberries and kiwis, and also cooked a pot of butter rice together with screwpine leaves for my kids. The kids loved the cheesecake very much especially my little girl. She could take a big bowl of it.
As for the butter rice, my 2 boys loved it but not my little girl. The boys could finish a big plate of butter rice without any dishes served. Wow, the butter rice is just like fried rice! I still have 3 and the half sticks Land O’ Lakes butter sitting in the fridge, think i can make it again for tonight dinner. The steps of making butter rice are simple, what you should do is, fried the finely chopped shallots and garlic in butter and also the washed rice for a while then pour everything in rice cooker, add water and some chicken powder and salt then cook the rice as normal. You can omit the salt if your butter is salted butter. After 30 minutes, you can have a bowl of butter rice, for best and yummy result, take the rice with chicken in any flavor. For myself, i like to have stew chicken in oyster sauce.

I just found out something fascinating to collect, it is coin! Now, i am thinking to keep such meaningful collectible coins for my kids. I can create their funny faces onto the coins, even better to have the coins of their each age respectively. Having such collectible coins are definitely better than getting toys on their birthday. Now i seriously thinking to order some. But before i made for my kids, i would like to order some challenge coins for my FIL. He loves to collect challenge coins since he young, so nothing beats to get him some as meetup gift for CNY.

Christmas is just around the corner, so, have you got your presents prepared for your loved ones? As for my case, the presents have been sitting under the Christmas tree for a month and actually my kids have been asking for unwrapping the Christmas presents. Of course being a mum has her brilliant ideas to stop the kids from unwrapping the presents before the Christmas day. Now the time has come, very soon i can see the smile on the kids’ faces and so do my smile too. I knew what my man has bought me because he forgot to keep the receipt secretly. It was a watch but not the plus size formal dresses that i have been wanting for. It’s fine because i can get the dresses for myself later on and i am fine too as long as i can receive before CNY!

The man bought a surprised Christmas present for me from HK last Sunday. He kept the present secretly without letting me to know but he was so careless that he accidentally misplaced the receipt on the Zara’s paper bag. He bought a down feather jacket from Zara for my girl and the present was on the paper bag too. He took away the present with Zara’s receipt before he handed the paper bag for me. So, the jacket with the present’s receipt was on my hands. See, how rushing was him to take away the present and how could him mistreat the present’s receipt with the jacket’s receipt? Thus, no more surprise after seeing the receipt. I still felt happy deep inside although i don’t really like the “thing”, at least something for me is better than nothing, right? As for his Christmas present, i have ready the leather briefcase for him few weeks ago. So, all presents are ready and now just wait for Christmas coming.

I asked my hubs how is he going to use his bonus this year the couple of days ago, he answered that he would get a good quality bluray home theatre system. Oh gosh, my jaw was almost dropped when i heard what he said. Be honestly, i have never thought that he would so big-heart to spend on luxury item, but good to hear that indeed. He should learn how to be generous to himself because he has been too stingy for himself!

We never have chance to ride horse, unlike my friend who is staying in New Zealand always goes riding. I just so envy him. He comes from a rich family who has no working experiences even he is already at his mid 30. Everyday for him is fun day, having buffet, shopping, riding, playing golf and all sorts of rich man’s fun and games. I was even told recently he just spent a huge sum amount on horse equipment for his friends. Oh gosh, what a rich man’s life there.

My friend who is currently pregnant has sleeping problem, so she was suggested to get the white noise machine which it helps people to fall asleep easier. I had never encountered sleeping problem for my previous pregnancies, so i could not give her more helpful solutions. Hopefully she can get back her normal sleeping pattern otherwise i believe the lacking of proper sleep will lead more bad tantrum and less appetite which are not good for her and also her little one.
