I AM THE MOTH....

It was such a good weekend for me and Monday and Tuesday being an extra holidays added to the fun. I didn't feel like going back to work but butter and bread have to be put on the table. My kids had an extra day off yesterday so I let them slept over at mom's so they didn't have to wake up as early as me.

I was pissed off with Ezra when he suddenly mentioned that he had not finished his homework. This was the second time; he rather lied than to spend his CNY break doing what he was supposed to do. Boys!!!!! I had to stayed up until nearly midnight just to help him. Believe me when I say their homework are so hard. I ever failed his math!!!!! and of coz he cried - I spanked him and although I felt guilty after that but I had to do it. I explained to him I love him that was why I had to discipline him. He is grounded for 2 weeks and are being refrain from going to Anddy's clinic which he and the sister likes to do every weekends.

He seemed to be able to take it and I am going to be more strict with them now. Lord, just give me the wisdom and the strength....

Alas; I am the Mother Of The House....

Happy Chinese New Year!!!

Let's welcome the tiger!!!!. Needless to say; I was also busy this new year - busy eating!!!!!! Today is the second day of the tiger year. I spent half of the day feeding the rascals (I am trying to be a good mother..) Of coz, woke up around 9am upon hearing the MOTH leaving the house to help the mother in Kampung. He decided to leave the rascals with me coz it was raining. Poor kids, they didn't have breakfast before the father left. So searched the kitchen for things that I can possibly turn into something edible AND nutritious. Ended up making scones!!!!! Kids didn't fancy it. By the time they had breakfast it was lunch time. Emmmmmm so tired!!!!!!!! and I haven't taken my bath yet!!!!

Searched the kitchen again. I decided to cook mee hoon goreng. I had dried shrimp blended with red onion and chili, I had dory fish and broccoli and egg. Everything thrown in and walla!!! Kids loved it.

The kids were promised a swim by the uncle at Four Points. So around 5.30pm we went over. It was quiet......

I went over to tHe Spring to meet up with old friends. Unfortunately the place was so pricey we decided to go to Top Spot for seafood. Being the second day of CNY the only stall that was open were the Muslims. I am not being racist here but it was a very poor service, they cut throat, greedy and you just name it; you got it. I guess it happens every way during this time of the year.

I am sorry for my overseas friends; Hsioa Fern, Edward and baby Gavin who came all the way from Seattle, Jo from London, Angeline and hubby and Florence from KL and Aimee from Bintulu. I should have been a more proactive host.

Next trip, I will open my home to you and serve you all the food you love so much and didn't get when you are all away.

Have a safe journey home and hope to see you soon.

Bon voyage!!!!
