DIY Korean BBQ Party

Its been long since my last up dated post in this blog. Life has been pretty busy with the kids. Everyday after office hours, I have to beat through the massive jam, pick up the kids, cook for them, have dinner with them, took bath for them, teach and guide them with their homework, put them to sleep, then did the laundry every alternate days and the list goes one. It is as though I am going through a war every single day! At one point of time, I am thinking to get a helper / maid but all the kanasai Cambodian maid tak  boleh guna according to my aunts and colleagues. So I hold back because I hate staying with stranger unless I don’t have a choice. Sigh…

Anyway though I am busy, but still managed to steal some quality time to spend with my group of Ci Muis friends. I have been chatting with my good buddy Sammi almost everyday. We talked about work, gossip about people and the most entertaining part is talking about K-drama which landed up into the idea of planning for a DIY Korean BBQ party about a month back. Both of us really crazy about K-drama, something that can release our stress and cheer us up!

So after the planning and coordinating, finally the night has come, the DIY Korean BBQ Party! We had lots of great fun that night. The most funny part is, the whole night we “An nyoung ha seh yo “ the whole night long. Hahaha .. kind of drunk d. So, here you go the food preparation from…. ahem… me off course.

Safety Glasses

I walked to the manufacturing office today and before entering the plant, I got kicked out because I am a high heels and I am not allowed to go in with a heels. Have to make a U turn and go one big round to get into the R&D office. I see the manufacturing plant has started to practice staff safety in the plant and each factory worker are given protective glasses and an ear plugs for those who work at the tin making side.Sigh… sometimes I do pity them standing in front of the heat and the noisy can running through the belt for 8 hours. If its me, I think I will give up this job.

Mini Micro SD

Dearie Suki came back yesterday with a mini micro sd for his GPS device. The IT technology is so advance today and the micro SD is as small as the 20 cents coin. Can you imagine how small is it and its 16GB storage. With such a big memory space, I was thinking to get one and get him to download more songs and store in it for my handphone. Wonder how much does this memory card cost?

Ding Dong Ding Dong

The door bell at home went K.O.ed last Friday. I didn’t know till Sunday morning when my neighbour came to my house and asked how come I didn’t respond to her thought she pressed the door bell so many times.  I felt a bit embarrass and worried she might think I don’t welcome her. Today itself, I went to the DIY shop to get the door chimes. It is easier to install a door chimes because it is wireless and the installation is as easy as 123.

 

Acne Wash Products

There are many types of acne wash products in the market nowadays. There are so many brands and how are you going to choose? It is important to choose the correct one for your skin types because our skin is just so soft and supple. Hence the best acne wash is highly recommended. I am looking for one now but I need one which is effective but yet a gentle acne cleanser. Any recommendation out there?

 

Durian Overloaded

Durian season is here and we had durian at home for the past 3 weeks. We went to the durian orchard twice for the past weeks. Aunty AB and 6th Kor owned a fruit orchard and we were called up to go to her orchard to take DURIAN with Dearie Suki 4WD. Wow.. happy, happy, happy for the kids and Dearie Suki because they love it. Furthermore, he loves driving into the orchard and that is the only place he will go without any doubt whether to go or not!

Anyway, we had too much durian at home  and ended up falling sick. Ee-Thern fall sick yesterday, and today looks like  it is going to be my turn.  I still have few containers of durians in the fridge and in the freezer. DURIAN OVERLOADED. Not only that, the whole house is overloaded with duku langsat and rambutan though I’ve given out most of it to the in laws.

Hmmm… I am browsing through the recipe book now, and perhaps I should start baking this weekend … Durian Cheesecake? Durian Pancake? Durian Cupcakes? Durian Chiffon Cake?

Planning….

Whether yes or no for baby #3, I really don’t know whether it will happen or not either this year or next year. I wonder will it be so easy for me to conceive after stopping for 6 years. As both my kids grow older, I started to felt it that 2 kids at home is just not enough. I love kids and so does Dearie Suki. But before we plan for anything, lets start with all the prenatal vitamins and be prepared. Wish me luck!

Diet Tips

I really needs some diet tips from the expert. I gained 2 kg  in just 2 weeks. I wonder is it I ate too much of durians for the past 2 weeks that contributed to the weight gain. Gaining weight is just so easy but losing weight is the hardest part in my life. I can never achieve the ideal weight that I want. Never! Can someone please tell me, if you tried any diets that work for your before?

Acne Treatment

The weather is pretty hot and dry lately and my face…. Oh dear, breakouts. Didn’t know it is so bad till my neighbour asked me, is it I am having chicken pox. Hahaha… I think not only the weather but it is the late night sleep everyday. I have been watching the Korean drama almost every night till wee hours in the morning.  I think I needed to sign up for extra acne treatments at the beauty salon. I really couldn’t stand to see the acne on my face. Sigh…

Happy 6th Birthday

Back to the blogging business after 2 weeks of missing in action. I have been busy with kids recently and furthermore, my dear Sis is back for a holidays with her kids. I have been hanging around with my Sis for most of the weekends. It is better for me to start to blog here  before this blog get rot.

2 weeks back, we celebrated little girl birthday at Critterland, Heritage Mines. I must admit, this is the most expensive birthday that we’ve planned for her. Dearie Suki sounded me, with that money we can order 2 tables at the Chinese restaurant for dinner. Hahaha… ya ya he is just so right. Anyway it is a birthday treat from me since she got good result for her mid year test in school. We invited few close friends and off course my bunch of cousins, nephews and nieces.  The kids are having so much fun there and play and jump for hours. Even cousins like Joe and Faye also join in the fun.

Little girl certainly the most happy girl on that day. Played the whole day and then sleep over at Ah Mah’s house because she wanted to follow Gladys.  My little boy also requested his birthday to be held at Critterland *faint*.  I told him, if he get good result ,wherever he want to have his birthday party, I am OK with it.  Kids at times, really needs to be motivated.
