title: To a better place...
date: Friday, November 07, 2014
time : 11:18 PM

This is so precious...my last pic I took with my mom-in-law.

 
We lost her a few hrs ago, 6.45pm.
She left peacefully... days after fulfilled her last wish to witness her precious daughter' solemnization that was held at home beside her bed. We've been chanting for her for the past 2 days round the clock, and she looked very peaceful when she left us to a better place with no suffering....

My dearest mom,
you will always be missed and remain,
in our hearts,
in our souls,
in our thoughts,
in our lives
and in our prayers.

I love you, mom!

3rd November 14,

went up to in-law' house again after work as MIL condition was deteriorating,
wasn't good.
She has been in unconscious state and been nurse at home due to the short prognosis, 
cause nothing else the doctor can help her except to give her medicine to relief her pain

 Many times, we were told by the doctor that she won't be able to survive for a given period 
(not months but weeks/days),
but each time she surprised the doctors.
It have been for more than 9 months now since she's unconscious.

from breast cancer 9 years back to brain cancer...
is all her willpower and determination to live and miracle again from God. 
sis-in-law and helpers really take great care of her round the clock throughout this 9yrs of her battle with cancer

God is good  to us and have been showing mercy to mum 
but yet seeing mum suffering is really aching for all of us too who love her so much.
Everyone knew where her strong determination from... her family, her grandchildren, her siblings. 

 her mind is keep going strong for everyone, 
but....
her body can't!

Now we have accept the fact that she's gonna leave us soon
her milk intake is getting lesser and lesser, 
diaper change is also became once a day now since few days back, 
no more poo for days already despite the use of enema, 
the drawn out of fluid is also black (blood) for milk feed.
her fingers, nails and palms all turn blue and pale 
her organs may have failed

Now, we wishes she will be able to wait and fulfill her last wishes,
....her youngest daughter marriage on this Thursday
yes, they brought forward it

so please hang on there....


what we can do now is to spend more time with her







29 June14, that's the last pic Aisleyne took with 奶奶, with her eyes opened slightly.


Doze off...

and we trying to stay overnight as often as we could, morning waking up...

I can't hold my tears everytime I update my parent over the phone about my MIL condition, that's the time where nobody will get to see me cry.

I may looks strong...but I weren't when I'm alone.

FIL has been crying every single day
only her grandchildren can make my FIL smiles more

God please give her strength to hold on this time again

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.

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.

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! ;)

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. :)

Hi Anonymous ,
Yes am getting maid, gonna do paperwork tonight for the transfer. For my past 3 maid are all from Crislo Agency http://www.crislo.sg/contact.html in Chinatown People's Park Complex. I always go there cos I preferred indo maid and they have more maids for me to choose compare to other agencies. And they having training centre in indo so their maid are all trained there at sg standard. But you know la is still the basic one so don't expected too much also. But I do feel there maid standards are pretty good. For the past 3 maids I engaged are fresh and they learned very fast. :)

Well, my current one that I gonna engage is not from Crislo cause is a transfer maid; is my mom's boss current maid, she said is very good and willing to transfer to me. :)

We didn't realise that my passport is expiring in another 6 more months. Until the day we set off for the trip, Hubby realised it. I got to renew it soon.
On the tour bus, the way to Genting

I like the weather there soooooooo much... not too cold and hot, 365days cool weather. Shiok ah! Amabel likes it too, so good to sleep in such a cool environment. No wonder, she keeps sleeping. We just couldn't stand Singapore super HOT weather.

I HATE HOT !

Think I am only the one dare to wear so little at there. To me the weather there is just cool, not cold. I rather 冷死 than 热死. Haha!


With grandfather and grandmother
With our helping, Rasiti

In our Hotel room.
And I requested a baby cot for Amabel
A buffet dinner at Genting Hotel

The Chew family, Ah Kiat and his fiancee also set off to Genting the same day with us by cars.
Here Chew family's room in Resort Hotel


3 days 2 nights, is really enough. I can't imagine if I were to live there for more days, I will be bored to death. Nothing much to shop (still I bought 3 tops) and the food is expensive (except for the Ah Yi Abalone, we could eat it at very cheap price of nearly SIN$400+ only, compare to S'pore it is really cheap) .

And couldn't play the Theme Park games except Merries-go-round for Amabel.


and Velerie bring Amabel and her son for a train ride
Indoor Theme Park.
And we had an picture whilst Hubby having his foot massage
Hubby bought for Amabel a mobile Lame Toy and she got a soft toy gift from Veleries too.

Then the last day pics -->

Showing off her 8 pearly white tooth
Walk as much as she could before boarding the bus


Amabel is enjoying the baby biscuit, on the way back to Singapore.
Casino? Yes, I did play the Jackpot for awhile and I lose abt SIN$100 in just half an hour. Nvm cause is Hubby's $$. Haha! But my parent-in-law really enjoying. Their main purpose of going Genting is just for casino.
