Breakfast

Yesterday over MSN, WSL said she missed eating Chao Mien, the HK style. I told her can get from any cafe in KL but she claimed the one from HK style cafe is expensive and not nice.

Our topic moved to breakfast and she asked why I didn’t take my brekkie at home. I told her there’s only bread at home and I hate bread. Our daily breakfast menu is quite wide. Everyday,we eat $1.20 nasi lemak, lontang, soto, wanton mee, fishball noodle, porridge, fried economic meehoon, etc

So this is what I had for today. Fried meehoon mixed with mien (80 cts) with additional ingredient a fried half cooked egg and a fish fillet. One bowl of hot peanut porridge ( 80 cts) as well.

Puzzles Time

Kyrie is very into puzzles nowadays. She’s crazy and can play the same puzzles everyday over and over again. The new puzzle that we bought her, she took a day to master it and now can put all together within minutes.

 

Putting together her Ariel puzzle

Completed 2 sets, working on the 3rd

 

She can work on the 20 pieces Mickey puzzles rather easily and working towards the 5 years old, 40 pieces Snow White now.

Qun Zhong Restaurant

This is our favourite all time restaurant for Xiao Loong Pao in Singapore. Whenever we have guests from overseas, we sure bring them there to try.

 

Hot & Sour Noodle

 

My fav soup. I usually order the one without the noodle.

 

Cha Cheung Mee. (Minced meat with some thick sauce)

shredded pork with dunno wat veggie noodle

 

Both girls love the noodle above. In fact, they both share a bowl and managed to finish almost all of it.

 

Water boiled dumpling

Woh Tip - 1 of our fav and "must-have"

The Xiao Loong Pao. Juicy and tender

 

We ordered the 2 desserts as well but totally forgotten to take photo; therefore, I have to get the photos from someone’s else blog.

The above pancake is the best pancake I ever eaten. The redbean paste is not too sweet and the skin is crispy and just nice.

The tong yun with filling, peanut and sesame filling. The clear soup comes in 2 flavour; namely rose syrup or osmanthus  syrup. The soup is nice and not sweet. Hallie drank 1 bowl without the tong yun.

 

Badminton Training

I’m starting my kids young. Hopefully I can train one to become a “Xie Xingfang”

Gaya or not  my Xie Xingfang?

Sisterly love.

 

Ok, enough training. Let’s the real game begin.

First game, Singapore vs. Bangladesh.

Hallie pening kepala

 

I was unable to capture any photos during the game because all chasing after the shuttle instead of hitting it. After 5 minutes, both the Singapore and Bangladesh teams threw in the towels and decided to run around like terrorists around the corridor.

P/S: Did anyone notice that the Bangladesh player is wearing a cheongsum?

Happy Halloween

Kyrie woke up at 6:30 am this morning because she was excited about going to school to celebrate Halloween with her friends. Dressed her up in the Halloween t-shirt we bought from HK last year!!!

No Wonder You’re My Life Partner

Sunday, afternoon, home was like oven so we decided to go grocery shopping because supermarket has the coldest aircond.

Upon reaching Tekka, I told Daddy I need buy milk tea ( chan chu nai cha) because it was just too hot. Told him to look after the kids where I dashed over to the next block to the buy the drinks.

Came back with the drinks and saw Daddy and kids eating Old Chang Kee’s fish balls.

Me : Nah, your drinks.

Daddy: Thanks. What drinks did you buy for me?

Me: Your favourite lah. Sour plum green tea with pearls.

Daddy: Wah, you really my wife. I don’t need to tell and you know exactly what I wanted.

Me : *happy* Of course. So what snack did you buy for me from Old Chang Kee? What’s my favourite?

Daddy: Oppphh. I didn’t buy anything for you. Curry puff  is your favourite?

Me: #$%^&*@#$

Cough, Cough Go Away

Currently, the noise from my household is very similar to the TB Ward. The kids are still coughing non stop since the last 3 trips to the Paed clinic. This morning I brought both of them there again as Hallie has vomited 6 times last night. We ended up waking up changing sheets and pillowcase the whole night. *Yawn* I’m so tired now.

Paed’s conclusion was both have sensitive airway that causes them to cough especially at night. Now both is on one month of Singlair tablets that cost a bomb as well as Bambec.

Hallie @ 19 months old

At 19 months old, she behaves like a 19 years old teen. Very difficult to handle and like to whack people. If you make her mad, she would hit you and if still not satisfy, she will pinch you hard. I tell you, her pinch is really painful.

She knows that when she did something wrong and send to the naughty corner, she is not suppose to move but to pull both her ears. Occasionally she will say, “tai pai mm kum” meaning “I won’t do it again” I wish she meant what she said. Most time is “NATO”.

Her vocab and understanding have improved tremendously. Now she can even string 2 words into 1 sentence. Current favourite words are, “I DON’T WANT” & “I DON’T KNOW” When you ask her to do something which she doesnt want, then the classic answer, I don’t want. Alternatively, if she’s lazy then the answer would be I don’t know. She is our current little helper at home. After her bathe, just pass her the dirty clothes and she will bring it to the kitchen area and dump it into the red bucket. If you pass her a little litter, she would bring it to the dusbin and throw inside. At the same time she is also our little menace who likes to distrub us when we do things. For example, when I try to turn on the dvd player, she will walk over and say, ” I DO”. Instead of helping, she will turn off the main switch / plug. Recently I bought a tupperware as a water container which hasa  small tap. Both girls love it. Kyrie would drink water non stop so that she can go fill water all the time. Little Menace, on the other hand, will go near the tap, exclaim, “I touch” and turn the tap on. Water would flow out and she would say, “ohh ohhh” “tai tai” ( beat beat)

Every morning she looks forward to sending her Jie Jie to school. The moment Kyrie is ready, Hallie would scream, “yeah” march towards the door and put on her slippers. We would go downstairs and wait for school bus together. After Kyrie boarded the school bus, I would ask Hallie where is her Jie Jie.

Me: Hallie, where is Jie Jie.

H: *think hard* Go skool. (Previously she would say ooi ooi)

Me: Ok. Then Hallie go where?

H: I go kai kai!!!

Me: No, so early cannot go kai kai.

H: go walk walk? hold my hands and signal I walk towards market.

Me: No, I don’ t want to go market. I want to go home.

H : I DON’T WANT!!!! ( Classic answer)

Food and milk vice, still same as previous month. Her skin is getting thicker or I don’t know if she is getting more stubborn. She used to cry abit when she had immunization jab but for the last 3 jabs, all she did was, “ouch pain” No tears nothing. I think she is braver than her sister or me!!

She just want to show off her new pearly!!!!

Popo Birthday

Yesterday was Popo’s 69 birthday. Since everybody at home still coughing, I decided not to buy a cake. I bought pandan cheese roll instead.

As usual Kyrie is the most excited one. She sang the birthday song in both version,  English and mandarin and clapped the loudest. In fact she was the one who blew the candle as well because Popo was too shy to blow candle.

My little Hallie as usual the grumpy look while Papa carried her.

Grumpy, Sleepy & Tired Look

Enjoying the cake

Kyrie’s verdict was the cake very very delicious. She wanted to bring 1 slice to school tomorrow to share with her Teacher Sonya.

Grumpy Hallie took a few bites, but woke up at night and threw up twice. Sigh..

Kids’ Fav Place

Every weekend you ask Kyrie where she wants to go, her standard answer is I want to go Seiyu. Last Sunday after our dinner at Putien Restaurant, we went to the new City Square mall. Sad to say, there’s nothing much to see and explore. We decided to go back to the girls’ favourite joint, Seiyu since they have the puzzle we wanted to buy.

Kyrie is very into puzzle these days. She is able to complete her 20 pieces Mickey Mouse rather easily and keep asking for new puzzles. The moment we got to the Kids’ level, she totally forgotten about her puzzles and went straight to the Kiddy Ride Section. She wanted to play some games which I said NO because we are here to buy puzzles and not to play games. She got upset and told me to wait outside while she and her daddy need to do something inside. Haha, sounded so serious hor?
