Gathering @ my place

Last Saturday was the yearly gathering with the girls (maybe should say auntie). This year choose my new place (not that new anymore actual fact) so everyone can be more relax. Especially for Geraldine and myself...coz we have kids mah!!! Initial plan is to cook some dishes for them but end up with potluck..pai seh!

Geraldine and me were getting excited about the gathering, not so much of meeting up but towards the food!!! This is the first gathering we are inviting all the husbands and kids, the more the merrier!!
As Matthias loves crabs so do everyone else, Geraldine has bought 3 GIANT crabs from No SignBoard. One of the chilli crab is about 1.8kg, the "kong" is so huge lor..We were teasing Helen that the BEST part of the chilli crab is the gravy, the "kong" is not so fantastic . I have steamed 24 buns for the chilli crabs and almost finished all of them, can imagine how nice it taste?? YuM yum!!! End up the sushi brought by Helen are still lying in the platter. Luckily we cancel the pizza and drumlets, everyone is almost lying flat..FULL!!!! Oh ya, still have the cookies baked by Geraldine, the taste is fantastic!!! Worth the money both of us spent with the chef in Ritz-Carlton

Good thing is Jazzel is quite well behave so i still get some chance to chat to Helen and Geraldine. I am quite surprise she is very shy with the uncles and aunties. Most of the time, she just need a while to warm up and start to be very chatty. She and Kyran also don't play together, think they are still young and don't know how to interact with each other yet. And little sister Ashlynn might feel bored playing with di di and mei mei also...End up 3 kids just play with their own preferred toys..hahahahaaa..

Really had a great time gather together, looking forward for next year gathering at Shangri-la...THE LINE!!!!

2 hours

Yesterday daddy was out for 2 hours to get some food for father's day potluck at MIL place. So left with mommy and Jazzel at home for that 2 hours, it seems pretty long..weird!!

As I want to restrict the time Jazzel watching tv (I find she is watching too much tv), so must use food to distract her. Started with vitagen, she shared abit with me, also dun allowed her to take too much. Then she asked for her recent favourite snack- seaweed. When she saw me eating durian, she also asked for few bites..she likes durian!!!
It's enough of food, must put it a stop. Since daddy is still not back yet, mommy and Jazzel were playing in the toy room. She will be sick of the toy after a few minutes, so keep changing from one to the other...sigh!
It came to Jazzel's napping time, give her a bottle of rose juice and put her to sarong..after a few songs, she fell asleep :)

p/s: while i was busy washing some dishes at the kitchen, this naughty girl secretly took the magic clean..only realised when i out to the living room...HAHHAHAAAA...

SAHM

It's always my dream to be SAHM (Stay At Home Mom),so took a few days leave last week to be SAHM (but some days still send Jazzel to the nanny). I know my character cannot be SAHM, so I come up this new idea and tell dd..

me: dd, think i prefer to stay at home rather than work
dd: hmmm...then Jazzel how? no need to go nanny's place?
me: no lah, still go nanny's place
dd: then what you do?
me: i will still do housework, but not take care of kids
dd: .....

Even mom said I very "cruel" to have this thinking..hahahaaa..

Anyway, during the few days, it kind of bored to stay at home...so bring her to causeway point. She enjoyed the ride so much and refused to get up

She just want to help
