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  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.

date: Monday, March 03, 2008 time : 12:41 AM Here pics with my precious, taken 2 weeks ago...   Photos taken at United square yesterday. Changing Amabel's diaper.
And we headed to AMK for the Mellben crab with Amabel's maternal grandparent, 大舅 + 二舅，姨姨, huihui 姨姨 + 姨丈 and Meiqi 表姐 + 表姐夫 + Ethan. See how famous their crab is. The queue is scary and we queued for nearly 1.5hrs. It is really yummy    And....Today is another busy day for me, though I laze at home till afternoon. Hubby woke up and drove us to Great World City for some food and cold storage to buy Amabel's foodstuff. At the neighbor corridor. Waiting for me and the helper.
 Hubby and my precious bel  She loves to visit the dogs at that particular shop On the way back. See i never lie. She will love to help us as much as she can    Haha wanna take off her shoes but she doesn't know what she should do with those bags. Amabel: Shall I put it on the floor first?  Amabel: Or bring it to Daddy or someone to keep Amabel will then open the shoe cabinet and keep it together with her other shoes. Amabel: This is our shoe cabinet. Mommy always scolding Daddy who always buying exp shoes. Total 8 shelve; I occupied half the shelf, Mommy one and the half shelf. Some other stuff in one shelf and the rest of course is occpied by the shoecoholic 'Daddy'  Amabel is clever, she knows which shelf is belong to her  And knows that she need to close it after use.

Hi eling!!:)
do you mind sharing how u make those healthy meals??
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 Eling
So in the end are u hiring maid? I though of hiring one too. Any good agency to intro?
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. :)
