time : 10:43 AM

Finally, a little time to upload and post this up

Weeks before… Amabel already had been reminding us to attend her school sport’s day.
Not to disappoint her, though we never ever miss any school events or sessions in kids’school life that requires us, hus and I alway attend in pairs.

So again, we broke away from work to cheer Amabel on,
even though it was not a compulsory school event for parent.

Whilst waiting for her sis, we taught her again how to buy her own food from canteen
BTW, they will be in different primary school.
I hope I have time to write more about it next time.

Sis came down from class, she was complaining hungry so bought her food too

guide her sis returning the plates and cutlery on their own

Rest before we get started

Few students were there ushering the pupils
and we together with our kids were encouraged to take part in all sport activities.

The kids had so much fun,

Aisleyne was having fun too

you'll be surprised at the strength that is inside of my girl's petite frame

she has biceps, so don't play play

hahahaha

pain pain and ask me to blow...haha

my strong baby

Stamp was given when complete the sport activity.

One can then exchange the number of stamps collected for a gift at the booth

Can see that the school put in a lot of effort in planning the activities!

This Sport day event gets the children to participate with the family in sport activities, really provide a wonderful opportunity and quality time for families to bond with our kids whilst promote healthy living.

Most important was... we all had fun

title: A Parent's love
date: Wednesday, February 20, 2013
time : 1:57 PM

Mom and dad came last night again; they came to make sure I'm doing good a few days in a week as I need to cook all my meal at home so I don't have time to go over their place.

Mom have been very supportive in me into organic and being vegetarian for most meals. Erm... maybe she understands me too well, knowing that I know what I'm doing, and so that no matter what others said I will still be in my stand. So she rather being supportive, not against my thought - my doings.

Where else dad feesl that I should still take a bit of meat though he shares the same thought that having lot of vegetable are really good for health.

I understand his worries too, knowing that cause he did not ever read up the nutrient of each food so he don't know that the nutrient in meat I can easily get it from other better source in a plant that is even better for body system.

And every time they see me, they will ask me to employ maid. I'm way doing too much, worst than a stay-at-home-mom!

They alway see me in the house doing this and that, not even have time to sit down chit chat with them, comparing to their friends' daughter who is a stay-at-home-mom doing every single thing. They said I overloaded, too hard on myself.

They have been asking me to employ a maid to help out, in the past... I kept saying no, cause I hate having maid, the stress, having to supervise them. Then now that I in the need to rush home to cook every meals at home, they want to support me and asking me to quit my job, so I won't get too tired. I know they really love me and feel heartaching. But I can't don't work la and even shame to have parent to support me.

In the past, when I start working, wanna give them allowance but everytime they refused to take a single not to say when I married, they didn't even want to take any single $$$ from me, they said we got house loan to pay. Then after having kid, they even fight to pay our meals or things when we are out together.

And now they know my expenses will shot up high again agreeing to employ maid and the need to buy those organic foods, my dad even pushed bucks to me last night, we push here push there that he got so frustrated, scolded me he is tired pushing and I must take, is for me to engage the maid since is them kept forcing me to engage maid! Saying other days will pass me again! Me is like huh...😪😪, saying will accept this and keep in bank first then but don't pass me any anymore. They really love me and even my Hus that they don't want him to be too financial burden cause they knows me his wife really can spend a lot and for the best of my kids.

Mom said next time their $$$ will also goes to us brothers sisters, so just take la if unused just keep it in bank! Dad always mentioned wanna give me his stock shares. Me is like huh, I don't know how to play stock sia. So for?! Lol~

He is already retired so is like enjoying life now! Whereas, Mom chooses to continue work, she is super workaholic, she never work she will feel sick. Weird woman haha~

In law also came the few days ago when my parent also around.
Haha, look like parents meeting.
Then Dad offered to drive them back to Tiong Bahru then back to Jurong again, mom and 2 kids take the ride too to jalan jalan haha

Well that is the loves of a parent, always want the best for their children.
The care is always there, no matter what.
And I love them too, just can't live without them.

A parents love is whole, no matter how many times divided

Yesterday morning, having avocado.
Haha, the way I eat it in the office.

Brought bestie Sz to a Onaka restaurant, which served Organic foods

My Organic Pineapple Brown Rice, I pretty love it. Suit me!

Sz dishes, but she claimed that too salty.
Look good though

My organic vegen sandwiches. I love it too

Last night, the dinner I cooked, here the kids' portion.
Veggie (vitamins and minerals), cashew nut (protein), flax seed powder (healthy fats) , cooked with olive oil (healthy fats) served with Quinoa (complex carbohydrates and non-gluten grains), all necessary nutrient is in there and are high calories that we needed.

I am still learning more about the nutrition facts of foods and may slowly introduce more healthy food to them.

Thanks god that they are not a fussy eater when come to meals.
Maybe yes at the initial but they don't dare to say NO to me.
Ever since they born, whatever thing I serve them. They have to eat, even they don't like.... I will want them to slowly finish up. Even if they don't like it and eat until like wanna vomit, they still got to slowly finish it. Well after sometime they learn to eat the food they dislike. See~ they now like it!
They shouldn't be picky on food!

No snacking always for my kids la, even more particular now.
So unhealthy....... I thought parent want the best for kids?
Instead I giving my kids healthy snack like natural pumpkin, sunflower seeds, or brown rice cracker etc
I hate seeing kids one hand ice-cream, one hand chocolate bar.
Look cute?!?! what for!!

Once in a blue mood ok la I won't say no, don't wanna be that EXTREMELY STRICT mommy too.
Sound too kelian
But at least I should keep it at minimum. Once a month if they really long waited for? lenient enough?! :D
I know Amabel is in primary school, can easily eat it in school without telling me.
So I will be particularly strict on her diet at home definitely.

Anonymous said...: Hi Eling,

By the time you reached home to prepare meals for the kids, will it be too late for them? Usually you serve the dinner at what time?

Can share the recipes and how to prepare the soup while i have to work during the day.

Thanks.; Thursday, February 21, 2013 3:48:00 PM

So in the end are u hiring maid? I though of hiring one too. Any good agency to intro?; Thursday, February 21, 2013 4:20:00 PM
Unknown said...: Hi Kairis,

Didn't manage to catch up with you before you left. Hope you are doing well in USA now :D

Aiyo I think you are much more better cook than me. Mine is all simple dishes.

Actually healthy meals is very easy for you since you can cook pretty well. Just remember introduce more veggies for every meals and minimize or totally omitted the following and substitute with better one:

- Refined carbohydrates (white flour, white rice)
- White sugar
- Red meat and fatty meat (if can avoid this for dinner, as the protein in meat take too long to digest, instead cook nut or seed dishes or fish for the protein needed)
- Processed and fabricated foods

You may want to check it out here
http://mypreciousangel.blogspot.sg/2013/02/update-my-healthy-diet.html on what you can substitute with, for more you can search online too :)

Will post more on the recipe if I managed to find more time
Hope this help! ;); Friday, February 22, 2013 10:23:00 AM
Unknown said...: Hi Anonymous 1,

By the time I reached home is about 7pm already, so done with cooking is about 7.30pm and is really depends on what I cook. That's why I need maid to help, cause it really not good in long term to always eat that late.

For soup now I usually prepare organic chicken stock, vegetable stock or fish stock and store it in the fridge for next day use to make soup, vegetable pasta or noodle soup.

For very fast fish soup, I do try this which take about 20mins one; white fish in chunk with broccoli, carrot and apple to boil and Spring onions(scallion)for garnishing.

Else this if you prepare the stock before hand

homemade fish stock
2 tsp dried wakame (Japanese seaweed)
fish fillet (I used threadfin)
silken tofu – cut into small cubes
2 tomatoes – cut into wedges
Ginger slice (peeled, cut 3-4 thin slices and finely shredded)
Spring onions (scallion) or coriander leaves for garnishing

Seasoning:
Salt (I usually omitted this else just add abit) and pepper to taste

Marinade (for fish fillets)- most time I even omitted marinade the fish:
1½ tsp light soy sauce
¼ tsp sesame oil
A few shredded gingers
Spring onions (optional)

1) Wash and pat dry fish fillet. Prepare a steaming plate, place fish fillet with spring onions underlying it. Marinate with light soy sauce and sesame oil. Top with some shredded gingers. Steam for 8-10 minutes until the fish is cooked through (flaked easily). Set aside to cool. Flake fish finely or into small chunks.
2)Bring stock to a boil. Add in tofu, ginger and tomatoes. Simmer for 2-3 minutes.
3)Bring stock to a boil again and turn off the heat.
4)Add in fish from step(1) and dried wakame. Season with salt and pepper.
5)Garnish with chopped spring onions or coriander leaves and serve.

Hope this help. You may find a better recipe online too. Cause for the food I prepare for my kids, usually i go for natural taste from the food itself, so I don't do marinade for most. :); Friday, February 22, 2013 11:09:00 AM

Had a sumptuous lunch with my family at Neo Restaurant on the 1st day of 2013. A treat from my parent again, they loved to bring us around to eat.

We always called for their buffet for occasions and now we are in their restaurant. Nice dishes they served.

Whilst waiting. Aisleyne insisted to sit with my mom and my mom was busy entertaining this missy... lol~ mom always said this missy was so difficult to handle

Parent knew that I love Peking duck crepe roll, so ordered for me.

We have many more than the above dishes, but I were then too busy eating so never take the photograph of the rest of the dishes that came after.
