I am not the chef

Recently i have done a lot of cooking (to be precise, not i cook). Yesterday i cooked seafood curry with Madam Lee's curry paste. The outcome is good but too bad the paste is too little. I will store more paste at home in the future.

My family has a more healthy lifestyle recently. As the medical report shows bad result on certain areas, Mr. Teo finally agreed to have breakfast before leaving for work everyday. But i will spare his weekends, else i think he will get bored very soon with such a plain but healthy meal. I hope we will maintain this healthy lifestyle as long as we can because money can never buy us health and our precious time.

Do you think your living and eating lifestyle is healthy? For me, happy and healthy is too good to be true.

打回原形

整整两个礼拜的学校假期过去了。过去了， 再也回不来了。现在只好期待八月的假期。到时我会很忙一下。其实假期的生活很没有规律。除了可以晚起身外，还可以自由自在的颓废，好不快活啊。这学校假 期，没有带孩子去游玩。唯一的活动就是在家，在店玩闹，完全没有补习或任何关于书的东西。孩子好享受这样放纵的生活，他们的老妈我何尝不是呢？

这个假期，爸妈去了南非游玩，他们说不想再去第二次了， 因为治安不是很好，所以整天提 心吊胆的。还好旅店和吃方面都安排的不错。就当潇洒走一回好了。而我家老大也去了一趟美国回来。好羡慕哦。。。所以这个假期一半的时间我就是窝在家里，哪都没去。不然我想我也会带我老妈到处趴趴走了，或去找我老哥也。

上星期六是大女儿的家长日。老师说女儿还是会处于dreaming状态，不过已经改善很多。还有老师强调说她很喜欢多做功课，让老师不解。哈哈哈。不要说老师，老妈子都不懂啦。。 难道她遗传了我？喜欢做功课?喜欢上课？拜托不要遗传到我的直，我做人太坦白，太直，太不婉转。

看来我又要开始闲着了，兼职教书已经教完了。现在就在家里等电话响，赢巨奖了。哎，希望电话快快响，那我就不用闲着了。

Batu Pahat Getaway!

For the last few days, i have been busy doing things: hair cut, facial and spending times with kids. I wanted to clear all my things before the weekends because i already have plans. Before that i was planning to abandon Mr. Teo and enjoy my ladies trip with my friend, and it was so happened that he was having his business trip. So it was really a perfect timing.

My friend J works in Kuala Lumpur and she is from Kuantan. We knew each other during college time and she actually wrote a story about our college life. We become even closer after graduation. Although we are from total different background, basically there is nothing similar between us, but we are both very close friend.

J reached Batu Pahat on Friday late night, we planned to go Johor Premium Outlet and Kukup on the next day. While i fetched J from bus station back home, she noticed a signboard that reminds her of a place, Tanjung Piai. She mentioned to me while we were discussing on our itinerary of Saturday, but seriously I never come across to this place before. I didn't even google it because i am quite confident the place is very far from either JPO or Kukup. After she pointed the signboard which has been long standing somewhere in Batu Pahat town which i NEVER noticed it as well, i know what is in her mind and i prepared to bring her there.

On Saturday, we set off at around 10am after having breakfast in Batu Pahat. We spent about two hours shopping in JPO and we continue our journey to Tanjung Piai which is very near to Kukup. It was a very HOT Saturday and seriously i didn't really enjoy the heat even i was in an air con car. I thought Tanjung Piai is kind of a beach, and we could just sit inside the car and drove around. I WAS SO WRONG!!!!!!!

When reached there, (we thought we reached), we get down from the car and walked towards a cafe on a bridge under the HOT SUN!!! It was a disaster when i knew the place was not where J wanted to go. After got the information from someone there, we drove further to explore the place J wanted to go. After we reach, it was not as bad as what i thought but it is just the SUN. After purchased RM5 entry ticket per person, we started our adventurous journey on our feet. It was a reserved jungle, with bridges that lead us to a few places. With a dress, a slipper, i was on wrong attire for this kind of outing. But seeing J was very excited after we finally found the place, i do not want to disappoint her. So i just followed to walk on the bridge to the destination that J was really interested to see - the globe of Tanjung Piai.

For your information, Tanjung Piai is is a cape in Johor which is the southernmost point of Penisular Malaysia and thus the most southern point of mainland Euroasia.From there, we are able to see the island of Singapore and Pulau Jawa. In fact, i received an SMS from Indonesia telecommunication company. 

While we finally reached the globe, it was another disaster to J because according to her, it was a real globe with maps on it, but the globe in front of us is just an empty globe with the word Tanjung Piai only. I wasn't really enjoy the "scene" because it was very super windy and i can hardly walk without using my hand holding tight on my dress. While worrying about my flying dress, J was busy taking photos around. After several shots, we then proceed to Kukup. J was hoping to go to Kelong to see puffer fish but we are too late for the sea transport to the kelong. After walking around, we had our seafood dinner there and then headed back home. We played wishes lantern bought from Kukup in front of my house. It ended our wonderful one day trip.

Seriously i enjoyed everything except the SUN, the heat and the sweat. Afterall, i was happy as J was satisfied with all the things she want to see and do. It is a life happiness to be able to travel with family and friends. I look forward for my next trip.

毒隐发作了

从今天起，我将跟张郎分开十天。因为现在是学校假期，所以我和孩子留在家乡度假（好像很悠闲哦），张郎就自己去吉隆坡做工啦。他今天才出门的。通常他星期五会回乡，可是他星期四要去越南公干，星期日才回马。然后就直接留在吉隆坡做工了。我怎么可以忍受这么多天没有他呢？太没志气了我。。。本来想说星期一我自己去吉隆坡会情郎的，可是星期三我要带我妈妈去马六甲做进一步的检查，我自己也是要做检查。所以最快也要等到下星期四才能会见了。呜呜呜呜。。。

今天才第一天，他出门不到几小时，我就开始想他了。不知道是不是上了年纪，我越来越依赖张郎，深怕他有一天会先离我而去。一想到这，我会很伤感，晚上会落泪的。。。我不是悲观，更加不是胡思乱想，可是看到的例子太多了，很多人，没有预言，没有交代，没有通知，就这样离开了。 我有时会突然想到，如果发生在我身上，我该怎么办？我只希望我能够让自己随时做好准备，不然我想我真的会崩溃的。没办法，我中毒太深了。。。说到这样，又好像有点悲观噢。没事啦，过几天习惯了，我想我会很享受“单身”生活的。 哈哈。。。又在骗自己了。

我很难想象那些远距离爱情是怎么维持的。说真的我没办法接受。所以当初张郎说要去吉隆坡做生意时，我想都没想，就很坚持的要带着孩子一起去。不论路有多难走，至少我们一家人在一起。间中我们为了这件事吵得很凶。他有他的道理，我有我的坚持。最后，他没办法，因为无法说服我，而只能随着我的意思做。 在这里我要对他说谢谢，我会证明我的坚持是为了你，为了这个家，而不是单单为了我自己。

我们为了对方做的改变，没人能理解，只有我和他知道。我们不能去计较谁付出的比较多，谁改变得比较多，因为爱情没有比较，只有愿意默默的付出。真心的付出，是不需要去炫耀或特意说出来，而是让对方感觉到，然后接着就是感动。如果说一个人不会变是骗人的。我们随着时间，地位，处境和所接触的人都在改变，只是自己没察觉罢了。如果有一天，你觉得我变了，请你一定要告诉我，所以我才能分析那样的改变是否是好或不好。
