Ma Sei Lok Dei Hung

I am sometimes truly amazed with myself. For instant.. the cooking of the liver with ginger. I tell ya.. it would never have crossed my mind.. to cook it on my own.. if i were still living in Singapore. Afterall, why cook when you can get them at your friendly neighbourhood “cze zar” store.. right..?? for a mere few dollars too.

For someone .. who haven’t really learned how to cook anything at all..because my mom never like us to mess up the kitchen.. i think in my case .. it’s call ” ma sei lok dei hung” (in cantonese) .. meaning.. horse die .. you just get down the horse and walk. My cooking is still very limited.. but that’s only because i can’t find the ingredients here.. and secondly .. really have no time. But i’ve cooked chicken rice.. pineapple rice.. and yong chow fried rice.. and even made my own tahu-goreng.. 😉

Yes.. i’m not usually one .. who looked back and lament about things.. but i am truly, truly amazed with myself.. for making the best outta my current food situation. The food i make/cook may not be the best.. nor authentic in taste.. but like the saying goes.. “beggars can’t be choosers right..??

My brat is much loved by everyone.. be it a relative or friend.. and even customers. Look.. at what she got for a present.. from Aunt Verna.. ! Aunt Verna is 90 something years old.. and she lives in New Brunswick.. and yet.. she remembers Chloe everytime she visits… and this time.. it was Aunt Helena .. who was up visiting her. But she still got a gift for Chloe.. and sent it back with Aunt Helena. Isn’t she thoughtful and kind .. to my lil’ brat..!

PB Furious

Wow..!! i’ve never seen PB so furious. .and passionate about anything .. especially when it doesn’t concern him at all.

This evening at about 7.41pm.. he was at work.. and I was home with the brat… and he wrote.. “jesus christ wtf is wrong with some people.. a customer just whacked her kid in the mouth outside the store”. When he came home.. he again mentioned about it. And he said that no kids deserved to be whacked in the mouth.. no matter how naughty he or she is. Coz’ i had tried to defend the customer.. by saying her kids can be really naughty.. coz’ i’ve seen them act up.

But PB was quite adamant this time.. and kept insisting that it was wrong. So i let it be.. and didn’t pursue the subject.. afterall.. i wasn’t there. .and secondly.. it wasn’t my business t0 begin with.

Friendship So Rare

I was pleasantly surprised this afternoon.. by a phone call. Guess who called me..?? All the way from Hamilton, Toronto (still considered long distance call in Canada) . No.. not my family.. no .. not a friend from home who is visiting Toronto… and not Godma Lynn either.. !! Nope.. not Chumsymum’s brother-in-law from Toronto (i used to owe Chumsymum money lah..kkekekekeke!- she never tell you ka..?? )

True friendship is hard to come by .. and moreso .. when you haven’t even met the person. In this time and age.. when one is so far away from home .. the blogosphere is truly a life-saving technology. I don’t really expect alot from my blogging friends.. but let me tell you .. they have gone beyond and above many times over. Some have treated me so much better than my very own family in Singapore. My constant regret is i never have had a good relationship with my sister (she is crazy) !! , as much as i love her, i do not want to be sucked into her “dramas”. One example is she would call all hotels in Singapore .. to find out where i was working at that time and then will asked to speak to my boss. Yes.. that’s how crazy she was.

Anyhow, i rarely get calls .. because most ppl who wants to speak about business would call PB .. as for my family and friends.. they email.. or message me on msn. So when PB passed the phone to me this afternoon.. i never expected a call from Gene of Life As A Married Woman. I was really pleasantly surprised… and overwhelmed by her kindness. She called to wish me a good trip up to Halifax this weekend. We chatted abit .. and i had to let her go.. because it was a business phone.. and we only had one line… for both the debit machine and phone line.

I Salute All SAHMs

To all SAHMs.. i salute you ..!! Anyone out there.. who dare say.. SAHMs .. have the easiest job.. i will bitch slap you ..!!

Time and again.. i forget .. what it is like to just stay home with my brat the whole day.. without any help. Today i chose to stay home.. because the brat didn’t sleep good the nite before.. and i didn’t want her to crank up in the store… so i opted to stay home.. and also instill in her the consequences of not sleeping the whole nite.

I have had everything planned out.. what i wanna clean.. and what i wanted to cook for the brat. But in the end.. i only managed to shower.. with the brat in the bathroom with me the whole time.. and i managed to cooked just one meal for her… in the evening. The rest of the time.. was spent picking after her.. and attending to all her whim and fancies.. from wanting juice..to chocolate.. to candies..! NON-STOP..!! She had lunch for a good 2hrs.. and didn’t even finished all her food. I ony had my lunch at about 5pm.. because i need to cook my lunch. On top of it.. she wanted to read, play.. with her playdoh.. and draw.. and bounce around the couch.. ride her bike.. play the keyboard.. and insisted on going outdoors.. when it was cold. She didn’t let me do the dishes.. without offering to help. .and i had to let her.. so i can get some work done. And while i was showering.. she pooped..! so needed change immediately.

At 9pm .. when she finished up her dinner.. i was pretty much pooped..! i still had dishes and bottles to do.. and another meal to cook for her lunch tomorrow.

So I salute you .. all SAHMs..!! you are the GREATEST..!!! I donch know how you do it.. but i would be going crazy.. if i had to be stucked at home.. on a daily basis..!
