Leftover KFC for Breakfast

Yesterday, I treated everyone at home KFC coz I got RM50 from my brother for helping to send and fetch his girls to and from kindy. Ya, ya, ya, I should use that money to pump petrol eh. :P Nevermind, petrol is in my budget already. This RM50 is extra so, must bless others with it. :)

Hubby was at work as usual and I still buy 2 pieces for him coz he loves KFC. Unfortunately he came home way too late to enjoy the KFC and now, I am eating it for breakfast. Got to look for best weight loss pills after this coz fried chicken is fattening!

Breakfast with Hubby

To some this is not a big thing but to me, it is a VERY BIG THING. :P

I lost count of how many times we go out for breakfast together. Not because it is too many times but because I can’t remember when was the last time we do that. I think it was my birthday 2 years ago; we went to eat Dim Sum!

We hardly go out for breakfast together because hubby is not a morning person. It is so difficult to find him awake earlier that 9am unless he wants to cycle to work.

Anyway, on Monday it was raining and hubby woke up before 9am. I was so happy coz I was thinking how nice it would me to eat hot, crispy roti canai and a hot cup of Horlicks/Milo on a cold rainy morning. I can’t remember when was the last time I ate hot, crispy roti canai too.

All our children were still asleep and I verbalised my thought and hubby agreed coz he can’t go online too coz it was raining. hehehehe. Off we went to a nearby warung to enjoy hot, crispy roti canai with a cup of hot Horlicks. :D

More Unclean Food Now

Looks like I got to start checking out http://www.coloncleanser.net. Wondering why? Well, since I resigned from cooking, we have been eating at my mom’s during the weekday and eating out during the weekend. My mom loves to cook sambal prawns, sambal squids, sweet sour crabs, sambal belacan and cencaluk. These seafood dishes are unclean food! It taste nice but it does bad things to our health. Hmm…looks like we need to do colon cleansing whenever possible.

Watermelon Irritates My Throat

For the first time in my life, I have watermelon growing right beside and behind my house. It is so hard to resist the red and juicy fresh plucked watermelon. I managed to enjoy eating and drinking pure watermelon juice for about a week before I came down with a cough. When I am coughing, just a small bite of the juicy water melon sends me coughing non stop! It irritates my throat badly. Do you think colonix can help?

Resigned from Being A Cook; Almost.

Starting this month, I have resigned from cooking lunch and dinner for my family; more for hubby actually. Reason being, my almost 1yo baby wakes up earlier now which prevented me from cooking. When he wakes up, he wants his nen-nen and 90% of the time, I will doze off again for about an hour. By the time, I woke up, hubby needs to leave for work already. When hubby is not around, no one is there to help me look after baby while I cook and I can’t cook with a baby hanging around me at the wet kitchen; let’s say that the wet kitchen is not safe for baby. ;)

Since my children and I have our dinner at my mom’s almost everyday and she always have left-over food, I suggested that she cook for all of us for lunch and dinner too. She can save money coz I will be giving her extra allowance for the food and there will not be wastage anymore. As for me, I have more time to clean my house, more time for my baby and more online time. I can even do healthcare job search if you want me too. ;) As for hubby, he is enjoying good food and more varieties everyday. :lol:

I said “Almost” because, I still need to cook for my children’s breakfast.

Peaceful Dinner

Just now I make my face thick thick and send all my 4 children to my mom’s so that hubby and I have can a peaceful dinner. We went to Malim food court to enjoy hot steaming claypot Bak Kut Teh. We took our time to enjoy our food which we seldom get to do when dining with the children.

We had quite a show during lunch today. After church we brought the children to McD to enjoy some ice-cream. After ordering 2 Sundaes and 1 Sundae Cone, my son insisted that he wanted Sundae Cone and not Sundae. The cone was for my 2nd girl and she refused to share with him. After a good 15 minutes of crying out loud by my son, my 2nd girl finally gave in. It was quite a show. :)

On Time Healing

I really thank God that he healed me just on time to celebrate Chinese New Year. Today, I gladly announce that I am completely healed. No more headache and no more sore-throat. I also got back my appetite last night. I ate a packet of Nasi Lemak topped with one hard-boiled egg and a piece of fried chicken. I will surely need the weight loss pills if my appetite continues to be this big. Furthermore, tonight we will start feasting till the 2nd night of Chinese New Year. We will start of with the reunion dinner, then steamboat or satay celup on the first night and BBQ on the 2nd night of Chinese New Year. Come join me! :D

Oily Lunch

Today we were served with the most oily lunch ever! I can’t believe they let HER cook all our reunion dinner food last night. Nyonya food must be cooked by a Nyonya. No matter how good is a Chinese cook, they can never cook the Nyonya dishes like the Nyonya does.

The Pong Teh does not taste like Pong Teh at all; even my 6yo girl agrees to it! The Itik Tim lacks the sourish taste. The Sek Ak/Bak; I see the amount of oil floating in the bowl and the thick layer if fat on the pork, I don’t even dare to try. I am sure I would need the epiduo to prevent breakouts of I eat them. The Ayam Buah Keluak is way too oily plus other dishes also oily.

Our Indonesian maid cooks better Nyonya food that HER.

My First Lunch on 2010

Praise God that hubby went to work later today. I did not have to wake up early to cook for him. :D 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.

Wedding Dinner in Holiday Inn Melaka

dinner

We had a wedding dinner in Holiday Inn Melaka last Sunday. It was great meeting with relatives; mostly hubby’s side. I love them coz most of them are super friendly. =D One of hubby’s nieces adores my 8mo baby and due to it, we were relieved from him for a lil while during the dinner. :P

And the best part was we were served with a 8 course vegetarian dinner. Our tummy was not full the brim but it was just right. All of us went home “slim”. :lol: If not, none of us can go through the motorhomes door!

On Hubby’s 37th Birthday

us

The 6 of Us.

Hubby has to work but we managed to get him to come home when his part time came in at 7pm. :D

His niece; Hilda prepared Bolognese Spaghetti for dinner and I bought a Chocolate Fudge cake from Yee’s Bakery. Unfortunately, hubby did not get to enjoy the cake coz he was coughing due to the cold weather. Looks like I never get it right when I buy birthday cake for him. :(

Help! My Daughter is Fat

After 10 days staying day and night at my parents’ house and being fed my mom’s yummilicious dishes every day, my eldest daughter is fatter. Even though I reduced her rice portion and she eats fish only, no more a meat eater like before, she still put on weight. Is there any diet supplements for a 6yo??? :lol:

Apart from food, being immobile most of the time is also the caused of it. My mom’s house is smaller and my children is not allowed to play outdoor for the fear of getting bitten by snakes. So most of the time they are indoor, sitting or lying down playing or watching TV!

I can’t go home with my health condition now. One more week I’ll be able to bring all of them home if the maid is not returned to us this weekend. Then I will make sure this daughter of mine jogs around the compound or play catching with her other siblings.

Staying At Home

Looks like I would not be able to go out for any party invitations for the next one month. I’m praying hard that I would be able to recover fast after the operation. There would be a lot of restriction or “pantang” on the food that I can eat. Well, in a way, that is good for my body and for my baby too. Have to eat all the healthy and clean food. But I do wish that I can get a taste of the party food too. Hmmm…maybe that one can wait

May and June is a Birthday Month

We have so many birthdays in the family for the month of May and June but 2 days ago we celebrated those born in June. We had so much food; birthday cake, cupcakes, fried chicken, satay, spaghetti, chocolates and honey dew sago drink. If I am not breastfeeding my newborn, I will surely need the ephedrine!

Today, BIL and family from Ipoh is going to visit the Melaka Zoo. Must get hubby to bring the kids along because they need the exercise after all those feasting. ;)

Fullmoon Baby

My baby is one month old today and I feel like going out to celebrate. Let’s go MAKAN! Since I can eat as much as I can now and not worrying of putting on weight, I should enjoy eating my favorite food while I can. Once I stopped breastfeeding, it will be a different story all together. I must watch what I eat or else, I need to resort to weight loss pills to keep me slim. I am so happy that my tummy is smaller than hubby’s now. When I am pregnant, hubby was so happy because someone has a bigger tummy than his. :lol:

8th Wedding Anniversary Dinner

It was our 8th wedding anniversary and like every year before we went out for a special dinner, just the 2 of us. This year, this can’t be done because my newborn is fully breastfeed. We need to bring him along. So our choice of places to eat is very limited; furthermore, I am still in confinement and there are a lot of food I still can’t take.

steamboat

We ended up having our anniversary dinner at Seoul Garden; BBQ Steamboat. The place is very clean and not many people too. For the first 15mins, my newborn slept soundly in the stroller and I have an interrupted meal. Unfortunately, he poops and then he wanted to latch most of the time when he discovered that he is not at home; feeling insecure I guess.

As always, hubby felt that it was not value for money because we only eat one type of food for a quite big sum of cash. He said, next time around we should just eat a lil bit here and there and get to try more varieties of food.

Ok then, for his birthday, we shall do that. :D

Wedding Anniversary - Where To Go For Dinner?

My wedding anniversary is approaching and as usual the choice of fine dining and places to go is mine. Every year I wish hubby would take this role and surprise me but he worried that his picky wife would sulk if the restaurant is not in her favor. :lol:

So I was thinking that since I have to eat a lot now (I just discovered that the more I eat the more breastmilk I have. I want that so that my baby will be well fed.), let’s go for buffet dinner. It will be value for money. This is for hubby’s sake. I go for good food; set aside the price but as for hubby, it must be value for his money.

A blogger friend who does a lot of food review recommended EQ or Holiday Inn. So I went to check their buffet dinner price. If I am not mistaken, I saw RM70++ for a buffet dinner in EQ! My eyes almost pop out; since when they added RM20 to it?

So I told hubby on Gmail chat. “KENSEL.” (cancel). His replied, “LOL.”

My budget for both of us is only RM100. Call me cheapskate but we don’t have the luxury to spend so much for a dinner that we will poop out the next day. :P I think I am turning into my hubby already; everything must be value for money. :P

Btw, I can’t simply makan (eat) any food coz I am still in confinement. No unclean food. Don’t think I can take beef either. :(

So now, where can we go? What can I eat?

No 2nd Serving

I love my eldest daughter very much. I will try to fulfill her every wish. I seldom say “No” to her. It is because she is such an obedient girl and listens to me. But when it comes to food, she does not want to heed my advice. She has her daddy’s appetite and low metabolism rate just like her daddy and this leads to overweight problem. If this continues, she will surely need to through some weight loss supplement reviews to find the suitable weight loss supplement when she become a young lady. As for now, I have to say “No” when she asks for second serving.

Ending the Confinement Earlier

Looks like I will be ending my confinement earlier by 4 days because on May 12 is our wedding anniversary. I don’t want to miss celebrating it again. But then, we can only go for dinner and no movie because my newborn will be tagging along. What to do, am fully breastfeeding him. For dinner I am going to indulge myself with beef steak and ice-cream which I am supposed to have on my birthday and before baby pops. I wonder whether I need a colon cleanse after it! :lol:

Fat after CNY!

2 weeks ago, my weight was 57kg. Today, my weight is 58.9kg; that’s almost 2kg increased in 2 weeks time! Even though I am pregnant, I doubt it is my pregnancy weight. I blame it on the BBQ, the steamboat, the CNY cookies, and the fizzy drinks! My old stretch-marks are itching now. I sure need Decaslim after I give birth if I want my old slim body back.
