My Mini Conversation with Oscar (lost count on the number already)

Haha, yes, mommy is getting old Oscar, so mommy actually lost count on the number of these little conversation I had with you.

Last week when mommy went to fetch you from school:
Mommy: Hi Oscar. How was school today?
Oscar: Ok fine thang q.
Mommy: What did you had for your snack today?
Oscar: Hmmm.... soup soup.
Mommy: What soup? Mihun soup?
Oscar: No No, Mr Bean Soup.
* Now, can you readers out there guessed what type of soup Oscar had in school? Yes, he had Red Bean Soup... Not Mr Bean Soup....

This evening before you go to bed
Oscar: Mommy carry you (me)
Mommy: Mommy busy with work la... wait ah.
Oscar: Cannot wait... carry you (me) now.
Mommy: Why so manja one...
Oscar: B'cos my eyes cannot open and my leg cannot walk... I so tired... carry you(me) to bed peeas....(please)

** I Love You Oscar **

F.R.I.E.N.D.S

Tonight was one of those lonely night cos hubby got to work late and also got to go entertain some customer. Oscar slept super early today cos he kept on telling me he is tired so I tucked him in early tonight. So, the whole house is very quiet and as I was doing some office work, I recollect last Saturday's event.

I had a gathering with some of my very old ex-colleague. These bunch of peoples are the very first colleague I have ever had. They are from my first job in Bandar Sunway. These are the coolest people I hang around with (not that now I hang around with non cool people) but these are the super friends I have and I treasured the most.

I started work at a very tender age. I work part time and also study part time cos my dad wants me to learn the hard way of earning money and spending it wisely myself. Not that my dad can't afford my edu fees but he just asked if I want to do part time in both my work and studies... Of course, he still provides for me in terms of my school fees and my fat pocket money. I always have enuff to spend last time.

While I was working at this company, I am very close to few of the staff. These are also very young talented people whom I enjoyed hanging around with after work every Saturday some 10 years ago. See, I just told you I started work at a very tender age and I have known them for 10 years! Gosh!!!! Time flies. These are also the people I need not ask for a lift but will always be offered a lift after late night work (Overtime) and also supper is provided. Haha, I guessed, I was the little sister they never had that time. And whenever I am down, they will cheer me up with their drawings and little sweet notes. And whenever I called in sick, the next day I turn up at work, they will be get well note and sometimes, nice warm breakfast for me... No kidding, they are the bestest of the best friends I ever had.

I have not meet these people for almost 2 years as we are all busy with our lifes. Me married with kid, they busy with their new career path and some of them busy with their family too. So, its really hard to gather all of them together. Not many of us, just these 5 precious friends I have. We had dinner and then dessert and we chatted and laughed and most of all, the strong feeling of friendship is still there, despite of us not seeing each other for so long. On and off, we just drop each other a note of hi / bye via text message. That's all.

You see, I dont have a lot of friends. Its not that I am not sociable but I just dont know why I dont have alot of friends.... sei ler... is it me or what! But with them, you feel like you have tonnes of friends even there is only 5 of them. They dont blog and they dont read my blog either... so, I really dont know how can I express my gratitude to them for being my friend.

*sigh* Really look forward to our next gathering. Hopefully, I dont need to wait for another 2 years.....

Just for laughs

Got this from a friend:-


"Dear Ah Lian,Thanks you for your letter. Wrong time no see you. How everything?For me, I am quiet find.You says in your letter your taukeh soh want you to chain your look?Somemore you must wear kick kok soo, hope you can wok properly.

I got a surprise from this lady...

Thanks.

Masak Masak

Can someone pls tell me the exact name of this vegetable? My mom told me its called the smilling face gourd (siew hau gua) and my friend told me its called 'jit gua' but I tot 'jit gua' is suppose to be long minus the funny looking 'smile'/'lip'.... Looking at this vegetable makes me laugh. Looks exactly like me holding my fist together funnily.. and the vege sort of like asking 'helo, wanna eat me tonite?'.... So weird!

I just 'tembak' on the cooking method cos mom said she never bought this vege before. I sliced off the skin of the vege. A hairy vege I would say. After slicing off the skin, I find that this vege emits some kind of sticky sticky stuff... dont know what is it. So, I cut it into strips (is it called julian?... haha Julian the blogger) oh where am I? Ah yes, then I also cut some carrots into strips. Then set aside. I did soaked some dried prawns and some 'farn si'.

Just heat up the frying wok and throw in the soaked dried prawns and let it fry till fragrant. Then throw in the vege and carrot then put in some seasoning. I put in some fish sauce and also some sugar to balance off the saltiness and last but not least, the 'farn si'. Voila! Done. Hubby told me this dish reminded him of his mom's cooking.... and he ate alot! I think hubby really misses his mom... and her cooking. Will try to cook more of MIL's style of cooking when I have time.

Sacrifice

Tot of doing a short post after dropping off Oscar at mom's place.

Was picking Oscar up from school for the past one week cos hubby not free. Actually, I can't blame him cos after school is like mid day and sometimes, mid day is the start of hubby's day. He works from home in the morning sorting out mails, designing artworks, running to the bank and afternoon is the time he goes out for appointment and also back to his proper office to work. So, I have to understand him more and try to take over this picking up biz myself.

Why I say sacrifice? I mean, I have to sacrifice my lunch time wor. Not that I eat 1-hour or what but this 1-hour is the only time I can take a break and eat slowly in the office and take my mine off work. But lately, I have to go off extra early (slightly before 12) and head to the school to fetch Oscar. And knowing our office area, its a hell-break loose situation whereas cars are all double parked and when I am in a hurry to leave, there is always a car behind me (no no Amah, not talking about you ok). After picking up Oscar I have to rush back to mom's place and get a quick bite. I have been eating like super fast at mom's place cos I have to rush back to office... I know I have an understanding boss but the amount of stress has really taken a tol on me already. Oscar, if you are reading this in future, pls remember mommy goes through a lot of stress daily in sending you to school and also picking you up daily.

I know this person also goes through alot of stress in sending and picking up her kid from school. I hear it from her everyday. She also sacrifice her lunch time to do all this. See, look at the great lenght we mommies go through in this issue. Not that we want to be so calculative just because of this silly 1-hour lunch time but trust me, driving in KL and PJ IS MAJOR STRESS!!! I think I aged 10-years already since the day Oscar starts school!!!

Others might just say we can just leave our kids with the bus driver but could not do it. At least, not at this moment. I dont trust my kids life in other people's hands.

So, anyone of you out there who care to share yr experience with me? Any of you out there who sends and picks up yr own kids like I do?

Nothing to do weekend

No weekend post cos my weekend was spent mostly at home walking up and down and picking up a fight with hubby... hehe, joking oni la. He tried to irritate me but not successful wor...

My boy is not well again and today is his first day he 'ponteng' school. He was a little bit not himself yesterday but we still took him out for dinner and right after dinner, it got worst. His flu was really bad and also starting to feel feverish. He insist to be carried all the way in MegaMall... and just imagine hubby got to carry a piece of rock for 2 hrs! Again, stroller was left lying at home... Hubby got no mood to shop so I just went and look around for some stuff but also, end up empty handed. Head home and gave Oscar some medicine and we all go to sleep early.

I hope Oscar will be ok tomorrow as he will need to go to school tomorrow. He is so clingy to me and I also pity him cos he has to breath through his mouth and he wants to eat his pacifier at the same time.... like that how to breath la!

Wow, can sustain for so long...

** Happy Birthday to 'I Blog for Oscar' **

** Lots of happy memories were jotted down here and

lots of un-forgettable events were noted here too... **

(Pic courtesy of DQ)

My Week'N

** An up-date on my previous post. Thank you all for your valuable comments. I guessed, it will take Oscar sometime to get use to proper schooling environment. I mean, this is a big step for my little boy whom he is always so well protected by his AhPo and Grandpa. this is a growing phase for him.**

I spent my weekend well but not enuff rest cos too much activities. But the most worth mentioning thing I did last Saturday is throwing LaundryAmah and Annie a B'day Party. Hmm, not like a huge B'day Bash but its like B'day Party cum Bloggies Gathering. You can view photos here (nobody is blogging abt this gathering meh?) It was supposed to be some sort of a surprise but then due to some problem here and there and due to my carelessness, it didnt turn out to be some sort like a surprise... hehe, solly ah Amah and Annie.

* This cake nice ah?

The food was yummy and I was like so so full after dinner. Went home straight away made myself a cup of peppermint tea... ah.... bliss! To all who attended this gathering, thank you so much for coming and I am very happy to meet you all. I know I didnt talk alot with some of you cos me busy eating and yakking with other mommies too... Next time ok, I promised, I will organise another round, not so havoc one ok?

As usual, Sunday was spent sleeping at home but this particular Sunday was different. I woke up like super early and did some house chores and then when Oscar woke up, we went to have brunch and groceries shopping in Carrefour, Subang. Wow, they have already put up Chinese New Year deco and playing 'Tak tung chiang' music. Haha, like Amah, I bought Oscar a piece of cheongsam for boy. Haha, good deal, not bad but I kiasu, bought the size too big and only to realised it when I reached home. I tried it on Oscar when we were there but somehow, it looked very over-sized on Oscar when I tried it again at home... Shiats! Have to go again by this week if not no exchange is honoured.

And I bought this for Chinese New Year. Last year, we bought the 'Mui Fa' and the 'Pussy-Willow' (is this how you called them, those white buds sticking out of branches wan??) The dangling stuff is from Ikea, haha, left over from my X'mas tree... So stingy la me!

Really looking forward to Chinese New Year cos its the time I go visit all my aunties and uncles, and each and every year, I will see them aged gracefully and I always count my blessings that my family members are always united as one. And of course, my mom will be the most happy person cos she is like 'lepas penjara' like that. Gallivanting till late night at my aunty's house yakking and eating... Ok, got to take out my weighing scale to watch out those kilos. Many many years ago when I was with my ex-company, times like this are times that I dread the most. The suppliers, customers will come flocking my office with food stuff and lunch and dinner invitations. And my boss will always ask me to be his 'shield' and ask me to attend on his behalf @#$%^&*%#@$ My ex-boss is always travelling between our Guangzhou factory and our Msia factory. Oi, I got to watch my weight too ma... Like those food but aiyoh, every other night is mental la... not that I am so teruk, ppl invite also I dont go right??!

Ok... want to do some office work now... (but very sleepy la) I think do tomorrow la... hehe.

A Week Ago

A week ago, it was Oscar's first day in school. Daddy and Mommy accompanied you to school and you were so happy and mommy noticed you enjoyed yourself.

A week later, today; Oscar decided to cry on our way to school... Don't know why but all of a sudden, our little friend started crying when he saw me turning into the school compound. I tot he had a stomach ache or something. But he told me he dont want to go to school. I parked my car and un-strap him from his seat and took his bag and walked slowly to his school. The nearer we got to the school the louder he cried. I had to carry him in and help him to take off his shoes. He stopped crying when I told him I will stay with him for a little while. But I have to work, so I have no choice but to leave Oscar with the teacher. He was holding on to my hand so so tight and when I let go of his hand, he quickly held on to my shirt. Broke my heart maximum. Oscar was pleading me to take him home "Please mommy please" "Please take me home" "Mommy, please..." I have to run to my car cos I can't bear to hear my son crying for me. Poor boy, he could have been traumatised by some event that happened yesterday at school but still have problem in speech in relating the incident to us. I felt so so bad...

I really dont know. After fetching him from school, I asked how was his day and he told me the teacher beat him! I asked him why and he told me cos he cried. Hmmm, do I believe my son or what? Is this the trick kids used nowadays to get themselves off something they dont like to do?

I told hubby and hubby was furious. He said he want to go confront the teacher. I mean, for all you know, Oscar was trying to tell a lie; so that he dont need to go to school ma... So, anyone can give me any suggestion to tackle this matter? Pls...

Week'N post

I am supposed to post these pics earlier but well, better late than never betul tak?

* 1st day @ school. Q-ing up to go home.
* Oscar's first day @ school. Wearing his own shoes after school.
* Oscar's school bag courtesy of Ah Poh.

* Oscar miniature school shoes. So kecik la...

Was working on Saturday so didn't managed to do much cos after work I went to fetch Oscar home to zzz and then later in the evening, I took mom and dad out for dinner. Only four of us; mom, dad, Oscar and me as my brother is not free and hubby has got badminton game. We went to have crabs for dinner... yumm. But no pics cos in my previous post alot of food pics (Sasha marah la... said cannot loose weight wor... hehe). However, this restaurant served us a handicapped crab! Why? Cos we ordered two fatty crab and its supposed to come with 2-pairs of claws (is it called the claw??) but these two crab comes with only 3-pcs of claw!!! Cacat or what? Price was ok and food was yummy. Oscar liked their claypot tofu and mom and dad ate the crab till they can't move from their seats hahahaha.

My poor boy was ill after few days to school. LaundryAmah said I too clean la. OK, from now onwards, Oscar, go pick up food from the floor to eat... no la just joking. Amah asked me not to be too protective only la... Hubby also sakit liow flu and little bit feverish. Was sneezing non stop so I have to confined Oscar in a room and separate these two babies of mine!

Went out to some shopping on Sunday (today) and bought some groceries and some t-shirts for Oscar. Had lunch and balik rumah to zzzz. Can't sleep la me so decided to cook some porridge and blog. Sigh, suppose to be out shopping the whole day to compensate my 4-days wasted last weekend! But, hubby sakit liow so must go home quick to rest.

Ok, hope to do more post on Oscar's development in school. Will post Oscar's artwork in my next post. He he...

The First Time...

"The first time, I looked into your eyes I cry...."

that explains my feelings today when i sent oscar to school today with hubby. i woke up very early in the morning; in fact i couldn't sleep well cos i was thinking hard about oscar's first day. its his first time with new friends and its his first time in a proper schooling environment.

woke my little boy up and dressed him up in his school uniform. couldn't help but felt so proud of him cos he looked so matured in his uniform and his new school bag. ah po (my mom) bought him his fav character school bag ; The Cars. in fact, mom called me several times yesterday to remind me this remind me that... she is also very kan cheong, just like me. ah po bought the school bag long time before school starts. hehe....

arrived at school on the dot. oscar was very shy at the beginning as he refuse to get down and insist that daddy carried him all the way into the class. hubby and i accompanied oscar a little while and hubby got to go meet his customer a little while. that left me with oscar in the classroom amongst his new friends and a few mommies and daddies. then i got to excuse my self to make some calls back to the office and i left oscar alone in the class for almost half an hour. i took a peek at him and he was doing fine; realising that i am not there. he is my little champion.

after school hubby came and picked us up and we sent oscar back to my mom's place. oscar was very hungry then cos he didnt ate the bun the school gave... my boy very selective in food. mom made lunch for him and he ate all of it.

"oscar, you made mommy proud today."

Another Food Post

Just want to do a quick food review on this restaurant we ate during the holidays. Its called Siu Siu Restaurant and its located along the Old Airport Road. Its funny looking signboard with crab and prawns all lighted up is a prominent sign.

We went there with a couple of friends to have dinner and were surprised that the crowd was so so since its a highly recommended place by both hubby and friend. This restaurant was originally located somewhere near the Tean Hou Temple (on the way to this temple) but was moved to this place sometime early this year.

Environment wise I'd say this place is comfy. The high ceiling fan and spacious sitting tables and chairs. Lots of luscious tress and they also have their very own fish tank (very huge) which Oscar insist of going there to snap pics (lazy so I didnt upload). We ordered the Free-Range Chicken cooked ala Yim-Kuk-Kai. Tasted ok but quite bland. The chicken is fresh but since its supposed to be Yim-Kuk-Kai, it should at least tasted like one! Then, we had the Kam-Heong Juk Tann, tasted heaven! So so highly recommended but just remember to ask the chef to lower the salt if you dont like salty food... We also ordered their seafood tofu clay pot which is a very normal dish; yumm too. Another heaven dish is the Guiness Stout pork ribs. The taste of the ribs with hot piping white rice is so so yummy. The ribs are deep fried till perfection and then tossed in some very yummy sauce - Lip Smacking! The steam fish was the most expansive dish I think but it didnt lived up to its price cos the portion was a little bit small. Taste wise, I'd say good.... not excellent. We also ordered their famous Spinach Soup (I whacked before any photos was taken!) Overall food rating for this restaurant is 7/10. Could be better, so the next time we visit, we will drop off the kids somewhere (my mom's place la) and eat in peace and this time round, we will order their signature dish; Ham-Dan Crab... The table next to us ordered and the smell is like.... ORGASMIC!!!

Zzzzz

My little boy likes to take his naps on our couch in the living room... Dont know why but he always dooze off there... These are some pics I took a few days ago... Zzzzzz...

* Look at my lazy boy...

* So peaceful... Hehe, I pulled out his cit-cit...

* Look at his hand; so big ledi, and his leg; bruised ankle from a fall from the stool. Dont ask me how but he kept on complaining its painful before he dooze of.

I like to watch him sleep. So serene and peaceful. Sometimes, he'll sleep-talk. Sometimes, he'll give out a loud cry then go back to sleep again (dont ask me why??) and best of all, when he sleeps, he snores a bit sometimes. Haha, inherited this from daddy I guessed. But, I read in some articles that if little boy snores, it means that their air-breathing passage if blocked. Is it true? Can anyone enlightened me on this?

Food Food Food......

Lazy to do post by post, so I did a whole bunch of pics all lumped into one post! Food that we had during the holidays and food that I cooked... yumm!

* Tung-Jit dinner at my mom's place. Mom and dad cooking a feast! There are more food but I only managed to snap these cos the later when other dishes its served, I whacked liow. He he.. The duck that I bought tasted HEAVEN!!! And of course the intended pork chop I made turned out to look like tiny pieces of pork slices.... blueh.... but tasted yummy! Mom made soup, another vege dish and also chicken... so much meat we could feel our self gained an extra 10lbs after this meal! Serious!

* Belated Tung-Jit dinner with 2-BILs at Wenworth Hotel, Janbo Restaurant. Erm, dinner was so so only... the first dish yumm, the sharkfin was like MSG broth, steam chicken tasted weird (some herbal chicken), steam fish tasted ok ler, the prawns I didnt eat so cant comment, the LorHon Chye ok ler, had the lotus wrapped rice, tasted nice but too salty (I like!) and look at these very porn looking buns! Ha ha...

* Made Stir-Fried Noodles on Boxing Day. Taste wise ok ler, not as good as mom's cos I dont know what did I missed in the recipe... somehow tarak oomph! Made Sharkfin Melon soup too to go with the noodles. One bowl with lots of melon and the other lots of pork ribs and bones for hubby! Burrpp! Solly...

There is another restaurant I would like to do a food post but blogger is loading the photos like so so slooooooooowwww..... so me go oi-oi first. Do tomorrow okie!!! Happy New Year 2007!
