I foresee that this year is going to be a challenging year for me. I am kind of excited to see how well I can cope this time.

Firstly, 3 of my children is going to school. No.1 to Primary School and No.2 & No.3 to kindergarten with different schooling hours. Yours truly is going to be their driver.

No.1 will be studying in a Chinese school and I know no written Mandarin at all! I have no idea how can I guide her with her homework. I also understand that there will be no English taught in that school until she is in Primary 4. So, I must continue to polish up her English at home.

No.2 will be in 6yo kindy class and she still can’t recognise all her ABC, let alone reading books. My No.1 knows her ABC when she is 2yo and started reading at 4yo. No.2 is going to Primary One next year and I have one year to teach her to read. This is going to be a tough job coz I failed miserably before; not enough patience.

No.3, I am taking easy with him coz he is only going to be 4yo this year.

No.4 started crawling yesterday. Soon he would not want to sit in his walker any longer and wants to explore the house on his knees and palms. When this happens, I can no longer mop the floor once a week and close one eye on the mess lying on the floor. They must be crawling baby-proof!

I am not not expecting the family maid will be back that soon coz MIL’s eyes are still not healed. How to heal coz she did not pantang (abstain) from eating unclean food like seafood and certain kind of fish; everything she eats.

Drive more, clean more, cook more, teach more, run errands for hubby whenever possible and blog too!

Since hubby can afford to take over the household expenditure, I am planning to save my online income for family vacation. I pray that soon, God will provide an honest full time worker to work at hubby’s shop and by that time, I will have saved enough for a holiday destination locally; maybe even buying medical travel insurance for the whole family.

Both hubby and I have worked so hard last year and we deserved to take a short break soon. If God says so lar.

Praise God that hubby went to work later today. I did not have to wake up early to cook for him. I did not cook today coz I forgot to thaw the blended chili last night. I wanted to cook Nasi Lemak actually.

So we planned to eat out and maybe bring our children to circuit city but we received a phone call from my mom that save our money from eating out. My mom cooked Nasi Lemak too! So we head to my mom’s and enjoyed her Steam Nasi Lemak and hubby pack some for his dinner then head to work.
