School holidayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy

Today marks the last day of school. I went to this college for interview just now. I came to know about this college when i went to the new shopping mall nearby my place. It is just a coincidence that the manager is from the same hometown as mine. We are talking like old friends. It is not about the matter of getting the job or not, is the matter of getting to know someone doing something so hard here.

what a small world...

Tomorrow i'm going to Bintan Island for my ladies trip.

Shall blog again when i am back.

Yay!!! holiday holiday holiday!! please don't end so soon..... please.........

       This is what i had for breakfast just now in Hainan Coffee. One of my favorite breakie!!


ciao!!!

Obsessed with hair wash

I still remember my first time going salon for washing hair was when i just completed my confinement after delivery of my 2nd princess. That was recommended by my sister. After that, my washing hair journey has then begun.

I went to many salons in hometown and KL. At the beginning, i went to salon once in two weeks or four weeks, it then gets more and more frequent to twice a week now.  Why i don't wash the hair myself? simply because i suffer from hair loss problem after my 2nd princess was born, till now. (I started my hair loss treatment six months ago.) Also because i perm a bit of my hair in December last year. I always can't get the curl that i fancy if i do myself. So just go to salon and let them do the job. Recently i started my hair treatment as well. oh woman! has all sorts of treatment to do.

Well there are three parts of hair wash that i am particular at. First : the washing skill, second : massage skill and third : blowing skill. Each time the hair wash for my length takes about one hour. Average charge for hair wash and blow is RM25. The most expensive hair wash was in Mid Valley, RM 50, the cheapest is RM17 was in Batu Pahat Kim salon.

Last Saturday, as usual i wanted to go for hair wash after sending Z, my eldest princess to tuition, but every salon that i went is either full with people or short of staff. This is the first time i couldn't do my routine hair wash on a Saturday afternoon. I wonder why... Anyway, after dinner, i went back to one of my favorite salon (2nd time on that day),  but too bad they still have customers and going to close soon. I have no choice but to go BP mall for hair wash.

It is my first time going to BP mall for hair wash. I went to this salon, Booms, situated opposite the cinema. A young girl served me.
                         Took this photo in the washroom as i couldn't find any other better place :p
             Washing skill  - 75 marks, Massage skill - 50 marks,  blow skill - 50 marks. RM25.

老爸检查

星期天跟爸妈用完晚饭后,就载他们去隆因为第二天爸爸有做检查。这次的检查是radioiodine test and scan,是让爸爸服用这药,不过是很低很低的成分,来确认到底那粒东东是不是跟八年前的癌细胞同类。而在喝这药之前,爸爸的TSH 指数一定要超过30。上星期四爸爸在家乡验血,指数只是21.85,我们问了两个医生到底星期一可不可以去医院喝这个药?两个医生都说可以。

星期一早上7.50我们就出发去医院了。医生为了确认指数有30,爸爸又被抽血验,报告两个小时能拿。如果有30,那就能吃这药;如果没有就回乡,一礼拜后再回来。其实我们都很担心指数不会到30,因为距离星期四才几天,指数不会爬到这么高的。两小时后,报告出炉了,爸爸的指数是37,我们都很开心,因为我们没白跑一趟啊。

在喝这药前,爸爸必须戒口,不能吃也不能喝4小时。然后3点又回医院喝药,过后还需戒口两小时。为了做这检查,爸爸有很多东西不能吃,之前不能吃海鲜,但这检查却必须戒口面粉,蛋黄等等很多食物。 我可怜的爸爸。。。

喝药后就载他们一起回乡。一路上我驾很快,以前如果我驾快,爸爸会骂我,不过这次他没有骂。我驾快是因为我们要回乡吃,爸爸已经不吃不喝六个小时了。他一饿就会发脾气的。本来爸爸说他和妈妈从医院搭德士去巴士站,再搭巴士回乡,因为他担心那药的辐射会影响我和张郎的身体,说怕会影响怀孕。爸爸总是为了我们着想,怀孕对我来说不重要,重要的是你,爸爸。。爸爸再三向医生确认这药不会影响到我,才愿意让我们一起坐车回乡。

到乡后,跟爸妈吃了晚餐后,晚上9.30,我们和孩子们才回隆。

这一趟虽然很累,不过我很开心能为爸爸做点事。以前他毫无怨言的付出,我做那么一点点,他却觉得过意不去。。

明天爸妈坐德士来隆,因为要验那药对身体的反应。我就去医院跟他们会合。

爸爸,虽然你是个铁汉子,不过看到那针往你的手插的时候,我不忍心哭了。你和妈妈是我的宝贝。爱你们,我说不出口,不过我会尽心尽力不让你们辛苦。

me, myself and i

Today I got the mood to come to the newly open shopping mall which is about 10 minutes drive from my place,and have some alone time here. In fact, i came here for Mc D brekkie last Friday too with some quick shopping. Recently i am very lazy to get out from the house, don't have particular reason, just feel too lazy....

So here i am, in Starbucks,  it is rather small but cozy place. There are 4 tables taken including mine. Two tables discussing about business (i don't mean to eavesdrop their conversation but the table arrangement is very near with one to another), another one lady also having her alone time just like me.

I am just wondering or imagining is there a possibility that a guy walk over and want to sit down and have a drink with me. hahaha... i am day dreaming i know... hahahaaha

Time to go, ciao

回忆母亲节

今年母亲节,我和姐姐带妈妈去吃韩国餐。当天早上,趁张大女学芭蕾舞,我就去做指甲。然后就等姐姐接完孩子放学,载妈妈一起来吃韩国大餐啦!爸爸没来因为他不喜欢韩国或日本餐。
大家都超爱吃的。


                                              我们去一间叫朋友的韩国餐馆吃。很好吃哦。。。

过后,本来打算带妈妈去洗头,她说她前一天才洗。所以我就带妈妈去做脚底按摩,就是在龙华的“大桶水”的足浴。忘了提妈妈之前从厕所出来不小心滑倒。还好没什么大碍,不过伤到了几根脚趾头和脚板。这里的按摩师傅妈妈非常满意,因为脚痛改善了很多。之前我星期六只要有空就会带她一起来这里按摩的。不过之后张大女的补习排得满满的,所以我们其实很久都没光顾了。那天其实张大女有补习的,不过我们吃韩国餐到很迟,误了补习时间,所以索性没让她去补。
 
我们按摩到傍晚,就叫老爸来载我们,因为我没驾车。过后陪了两老吃晚餐。后,他们送我回后,我就自己去洗头了。 然后又再陪张郎和孩子们吃,回家梳洗后就去看 The Amazing Spiderman 2 了。这次的戏很长,我坐到腰有点酸(不懂是不是按摩按过头)。还蛮好看的。

母亲节我过的很充实,第二天我包了个红包给妈妈。希望她天天都健康开心。

成就感

今天,补习学生告诉我成绩进步了。其实之前另一个学生的成绩也是进步了(这学生的妈妈"威胁"我,如果孩子的成绩没有进步那就不要再继续了)。我很安慰。

其实之前要开始在家收补习学生时还蛮抗拒的。因为一直以来我都不喜欢教小孩子的,我喜欢跟大人沟通。可是在家真的闷得发慌,而且还有一个更加见不得人的事实就是补习比教学院好赚。经过种种的考虑,我才开始收学生的。虽然现阶段不学生不多,不过只要他们的成绩有进步,而且听明白我说的,那就够了。

题外话 - 孩子们都很喜欢上次做的巧克力蛋糕,而且帮佣也喜欢。其实我自己不是很喜欢这类很rich的蛋糕,不过我很享受制作过程,真的帮我舒缓我的情绪。如果下次你也控制不了情绪,可以试试煮煮啊,烘培啊之类的东东哦。。。

Long time no bake

It is been a long time since i last cooked and baked something for the family as the water rationing been going on for almost two months. So i am back again with baking. I am making chocolate cupcake but different ingredient from last time.

Ingredient:
  • 120g butter
  • 100g brown sugar (this is a reduced amount, its original sugar content is 180g)
  • 140g HL milk (original ingredient is evaporated milk)
  • 1egg, beaten with fork
  • 60g plain flour or cake flour, either is fine
  • 30g cocoa powder
  • 1tsp baking powder

Combine sugar, milk and butter in a bowl over another pan of boiling water. Stir until sugar is dissolved and butter is melted. Remove from heat.
                      Add beaten eggs into the butter-milk mixture and stir to mix evenly.
 Sift the flour, cocoa powder, baking powder into another mixing bowl, then pour in the egg batter and combine until evenly mixed (cake batter is runny).
                                      Prep up the steamer and heat up the water till boiling.


                  Steam over medium heat for 45min (or 15min in cupcake (oven, 180 Celcius).

 Note:

  • I have also added some chopped toasted almond and walnuts topping right before steaming.
  • If you have extra that can't be finished, you can keep them in the fridge and steam them for another 2-5min before serving, they are as good as fresh.
 Let's pray it turns out to be a tasty one!! finger cross!!!

2天1夜马六甲游

其实已经向往很久要跟张郎去一趟马六甲“度蜜月”了。近期爸爸的事和张郎生病,我根本没心情想这个嘛。。。如果还没提的话,张郎上星期也是去了两趟医院,因为之前的咳嗽伤风都没好,所以医生建议做 CT Scan 因为鼻子最里面有粒状的东东,两边都有,而且很大粒。当时我真的吓坏了。上星期三是最难熬的一天,因为在等爸爸和张郎的报告。

阿弥陀佛还好爸爸的报告还好,而张郎的被怀疑是鼻痘炎。医生开了两个星期的药,如果两星期后还是一样大粒,就要开刀了。

星期三中午爸妈搭巴士回乡,而我们晚上才启程回乡,决定让孩子们星期五逃课一天。。在车上我建议张郎星期五去马六甲,星期六回乡,然后去住我们两年前住过的旅店。原本他不答应,不过在我不断的给他应该去的理由(例如星期六张大女只有一个补习,平常有四个;我们很久没有二人世界啦,等等等不是理由的理由),他答应了。哈哈哈。。。

把张大女交给姐姐和安顿好张小女后,我们星期五中午三点就启程去马六甲了。一到了酒店就小睡一会儿,八点才去吃晚餐。这次和两年前一样,去吃lut lut。万里香lutlut



吃了后,还是跟上次一样去吃水果(上次是打包回酒店吃)。这水果挡的水果超好吃的。跟lut lut 同条路,只有晚上有卖哦。。。

本来要去酒店的顶楼听歌的,不过男生一定要穿长裤,张郎没带,我们就没得上去了。。。我们就呆在房间。

                                              这里的房间很舒服,舒服到我很懒得出门。

                                                            这只是个厅,房间在里面

第二天(星期六)我7点多就起床了,不是应该睡得更迟吗?孩子不在,没人吵我们啊?? 我想我的脑已经被制约了。。。我们到顶楼享用早餐。环境是一级棒的,食物方面就有待改良。。原本我们打算11点多出发去吃鸡球饭。不过被楼下的卖楼计划吸引,用了1小时多了解整个计划,然后12点多才从旅店出来,鸡球饭外的长龙是吓死人的长。就改变计划到Parit Jawa 吃 asam 鱼。

到乡后已经傍晚五点,把孩子都接回家,然后再带张小女出来陪爸妈吃晚餐。

虽然没做什么特别的事,不过我们还蛮享受的。希望以后在能够多点机会和时间跟张郎有二人世界,没人会嫌多的。哈哈哈。。。

更新上个星期的事

之前,老大去马六甲拿了爸爸的报告给老四,因为老四认识一个肺和心脏的医生,想让这医生看看。上上星期五,我,老大和老四就去了隆区一所医院见医生。这医生的建议是要让爸爸做一个PET CT Scan,是一种能够显示出身体任何一个部位的癌细胞(如果有的话),他是要确定是什么后再做合适的治疗也不迟。之前那医生直接推测90%是上次的病例一样(完全没有做什么检查或化验之类的东东,只是根据CT Scan),但是这次是在肺部,上次是在扁桃腺。他建议爸爸五月多吃药后,三个月后再做PET CT Scan。

星期一早上载爸爸和妈妈来隆,到家后张郎打点孩子们,我就跟老大,嫂嫂,爸妈去隆医院了。医生详细解释后,爸爸也赞同他的建议。星期二验血,星期三做PET CT Scan。这个检查是爸爸会喝大量的葡萄糖,因为癌细胞会吸取糖分,所以如果有任何癌细胞的话,报告就会显示点点在癌细胞的位置。

星期三爸爸做完检查后,就和妈妈搭巴士回乡,而我是晚上才回乡的。爸爸住不惯隆区,又是塞车,东西比较贵,就连等我到晚上回乡都不要。算了,老人家是这样的,说不定以后我也是这样?星期三傍晚,老大去拿报告,阿弥陀佛没有癌细胞,不过肺部确实有小瘤。星期五老大和老四拿着报告看医生,他说这小瘤可能是癌细胞(即使是也是初期的),也可能跟上次扁桃腺一样的,或者没有危害的。

现在我们希望是那瘤什么都不是,或者是跟上次一样的,因为可以吃药治疗。如果是新的病例的话,那就比较担忧了。。。

明天爸妈一早搭巴士来隆,老大会接他们去另一间医院,找另一位医生做更进一步的检验。希望一切没事。

题外话,昨天刚收到一个坏消息,朋友的妹夫刚被证实有血癌,35岁,有个两岁的儿子。我知道后很伤心,他们夫妇很恩爱的。。。怎么会这样呢?希望他们能够顺利过难关。。。阿弥陀佛。。
