In His Time

Happy Independence Day!

What does Merdeka means to me?
1. Holiday!
2. Holiday!
3. Holiday!

Hahahaha…

BTW, how many years already ah?
Let me count… 2005 - 1957 = 48 years.

This year is the first time I have the Jalur Gemilang (Malaysian Flag) on my car. Got it free when we (hubby, belle and me) dine at Mama Chops Papa Grills last Monday.

This year I don’t see many cars with the flag. No many free flags given out I guess.

Hubby got his hair cut yesterday.

The moment hubby step in my mom’s house, Belle said, “Daddy BOTAK!”

And she repeated that a few times. Hubby looked at me, I said, “I did not say a thing to her and did not teach her to say botak okay!”

*botak = bald

It has been quite sometime since the last time I brought Belle to the school where hubby plays football and badminton every Sunday.

So, yesterday, I sent Kiki to my mom’s and drove Belle to watch her daddy play football.

When we arrived there, half of the field was filled with half naked man. Not a sight to remember. The youth are too skinny. Can see bones sticking out from their fatless skin. The married man, what can I say, they are full of flesh, EXTRA flesh. Sign of happiness and prosperity??!!

Belle: Where is Daddy?
Me: There (pointing to her daddy), the one without t-shirt, running after the ball, kicking the ball.
Belle: (shouted) Daddy!
The above was repeated a few times.

Me: Belle, there is an ant biting Mommy’s foot.
Belle: Where?
Me: There (pointing to the ant). Help Mommy!
Belle: (bend down and squash the ant with her finger)
Me: Thank you for helping Mommy.
Belle: Mommy, come over here, don’t stand there (pushing me aside).

I’m such a baby! Hehehe.

Antibiotic is so expensive! 7 tablets for MYR21.00, that is MYR3.00 per tablet. They better make me feel better FAST.

Well, I was on medical leave yesterday. Went to the clinic in the morning then accompanied hubby to do his banking. Slept the whole afternoon after taking cough, flu, anti-inflamation and antibiotic pills. Those pills makes me sleepy. Have not pop in any this morning as I do not want to be sleepy at work.

Anyway, I am so much better today.

Hello My Dear,

So, which one is tastier? The lizard shit or the bird shit?

Next time, when you know how to read and write, you leave comment in this post okay? Mommy wants to know which one is tastier.

Meantime, if possible, please ah…don’t try any other shit okay?

why Kiki is Super Active after she takes her medication. The sugar in the cough and flu syrup! I noticed that after taking it, even if it is her nappy time or bedtime, she will be wide awake and wanted to crawl, climb, walk and play non-stop.

Unlike Belle, Belle will fall asleep half an hour after drinking cough or flu syrup.

I think Kiki’s body reacts differently to sugar. Must remember not to let her eat so much of sweet stuff when she is older unless I want to be thinner chasing her around the house (i do but i need rest too hor). But ah…that will only be a few hours since I am work most of her waking up time.

So, I reminded my mom, if you want more exercise, you let Kiki eat sweets or chocolate next time lar. mwahahahaha

After feeling better from resting on Saturday’s afternoon, I have the urge to bake muffins. So I tried for the first time to bake savory muffins.

The recipe:

(A)
1 cup Self-Raising flour
1/2 tsp Baking Powder
1/2 tsp Salt
(Sift the above)

(B)
1/2 cup Mince Beef
1 Onion, sliced (big ones)
Some finely Chop Garlic
a lil salt
(stir fry the above)

(C)
1 Egg, beaten
1/2 cup Yoghurt
62g Butter, melted
(mix the above till creamy)

(D)
1/2 cup shredded Mozarella cheese

Pour (C) into (A), mix it then add in (B) & (D). Bake for 20 mins at 190′C. Makes 10 small muffins.

Note: You can use Cheddar instead of Mozarella. Instead if mince beef, you can change it with bacon. Then no frying is needed.

Pix? No pix this time. I was too ill to think of taking pix. Next time round, when I am much better, I bake again and post it in this blog with pix.

Update: Baked some yesterday (25.08.05)

It is my turn now! Ya…like what hubby commented, I always fall sick. Since baby, my immune system has not been strong. I easily fall sick. So, I have to be extra choosy with my food intake and the environment I am in.

I had a mild sore throat yesterday. After drinking some mint chinese tea, I felt better but I ate the wrong food for dinner, Maggi Goreng. Fried and oily stuff. Now I am suffering the consequences.

Earlier hubby wished that God will transfer Kiki’s pain to him. In his own word “If only God can take the sickness and put it on me so that Clarissa would not have to suffer”.

Dear God, you got the wrong person lar. My the other half, not me.

Feeling Cold

Thank God that we brought Kiki to our family doctor who is one of our church member. Get discounts for the medicine. All together 4 of them. Fever, Antibiotic, Flu & Sore Throat and Cough & Phlegm. If we were to bring her to the child specialist near our place, sure bankrupt one.

Her fever was very high 39.5′C and the doctor insert a pill inside her anus to bring down the fever. Told us that if she has fever again today, must bring her back to check whether she got dengue fever. *shudder*

On the way home, we went to buy the cool patch (bye-bye fever) to stick on her forehead.

After giving her the medicine, she became super active. Crawl here and there, climb here and there. And that happened again at 2.50am. She refused to sleep and wanted to play. So we took turn to accompany her to play. Me until 4am, hubby till 5am!

This is Kiki with the cool patch, eyes swollen due to crying and runny nose
