PTWM?

I’ve decided to stop working PT after my assignment ends on 14 Feb. It was suppose to be Apr – July but extended till Sept because the new staff came later than expected. Suppose to rest from Sept – Nov but I continued working because another staff went for operation and before the staff came back after recuperation, another one went on maternity leave! I was told she will be back after 16 weeks of ML, which is somewhere Feb. And then I was requested to come back as another staff will be going on ML from April – July.

I didn’t say okay to my manager but I think it’s time for me to put a stop now. I’ve been working close to 10 months !!!! Oh my, I need a break and Asher needs his mom. With the latest pay adjustment (equivalent to my current pay) and another one coming up, yes, 2 adjustments for this year ( how not to love 2012? ), daddy will definitely stop me from working part time(again), so I better act before he protest.

I was taking my shower and left the boys in the family room. When daddy showed me the maze he drew, I said,” you’re so mean, he is only 27mo and this is for 3-4yo.”

1st attempt

2nd attempt

Until i saw his 4th attempt (and recorded at the same time) Okay, it’s also for younger children.

Location : Simei

We arrived with Yusheng ! We are always excited when comes to visiting our sister and BIL’s place, there are soooo many types of goodies.

It’s steamboat ! Very nice broth with lots of very nice food. We don’t usually have steamboat at home so when I heard they are serving steamboat, we decided to stay for dinner. Our initial plan was to go T3.

Love the “黄金满满”. Cute and delicious. Wish everyone 口袋满满！

Really love the Yusheng ! I want more… Can we have another session again?

CNY @ ILs’

On our way to IL’s, Asher has his partial inclined seat, with entertainment on board.

Once we arrived, Asher asked for popo and yiyi, he was pretty upset when I told him we won’t be going to popo’s house for days.

But things went well as he got to ride his bike everyday at the front yard and we went to the mall for kiddy ride.

Oh, he even got the chance to mess himself

A very nice packing of 椪柑 bought by my BIL

Celebrating cny in Msia is very quiet. There isn’t any visiting at all because the rest of the extended families are located in Kedah. We woke up at 8-9am but the others were still in lala land as they slept at around 4-6am. No over eating as the food were pretty standard and they didn’t look like 年菜 to me, except the spring rolls and pig stomach soup. These are the hokkien’s 年菜。but then again this year, my MIL bought packed spring rolls. No prawn (哈哈大笑) and fish（年年有余）too. I kept thinking, should I buy and bring some back next year? Everytime before going back, I asked Ben if he wants me to buy any goodies back but he gave me the same answer – I gave them money to buy already.

No no, I’m not complaining. I’m glad I don’t put on weight during cny eating lots of high calories goodies. Only 2 pcs of Bak kwa and max 2 cans of soft drinks.

Our Reunion Dinner served at 9pm

大年初一的晚餐, a few “likes” at my FB and I wonder…

Some prayer after reunion dinner, Asher was awake around 0030hrs, he took the joss sticks and told me 拜拜.

That’s Asher’s new PJ from popo

Happy Lunar New Year

January 2012 – as Asher starts to go play group, he has been doing colouring almost everyday in the school. Barely 2 weeks there, I now notice that he spend longer time sitting on the chair to finish his colouring. He used to day dreaming, I was complaining about not focusing, then there was a period when he rushed through his work and quickly said done and got off the chair, now then I know that we should be spending more time instead of rushing. Lately, he likes to talk while colouring, like telling me the Colour of the cloud and then pick up the correct crayon and continue color. Oh, and he used to say No ( not all the time ) whenever I asked him if he wants to do colouring, he is so much better now. Keep it up !

Kluang Rail Coffee
Kluang KTM Station,
Jalan Station,
Kluang, Johor.

No way I will miss this place, the only thing I look forward is this whenever I come to Kluang! Many people said it’s overrated. To me, it’s not so much about the “delicious food”, it’s the mini packed Nasi Lemak, the environment that bring back so much of my childhood memory.

Chop Foo Chow
No. 2, Jalan Duku,
Kluang, Johor

I never bother to do any research when comes to food in Kluang, I only go to those restaurant or stall that look clean to me. Food wise : below average. I don’t recommend.

Gerai Makan Botak 摩达咖哩面
Jalan Paya 2,
Kluang Baru,
86000 Kluang.

Typical restaurant that serves morning breakfast. In Malaysia, curry noodles for brekky is very common and this one, I’ll come back again ! The soup is spicy, I ordered small portion, 加料, RM6. Ben thinks of my mommy again, he said we must bring her back to Kluang to try their noodle. I told him he must first able to convince her to come along with us.

Yean Kee Kluang’s Beef Noodle
Jalan Murni 2
Kluang, Johor.

My MIL cooks dinner at 630pm and the estimated dinner time is around 8-9pm. Ben knew I’m hungry so before 7pm, he brought us out. Yean Kee Noodle is just a stone’s throw away from my IL’s so we decided to have our dinner there.The noodle is very much different from the one we eat in Singapore. The sauce is different. The condiments are different and their noodle is so much softer. We will try the soup noodle next time. My mommy’s 24孝 SIL said next time must bring his MIL aka my mommy here to try the authentic hainanese beef noodle. No wonder my mommy sayang him so much.
