More Than Two Front Teeth is Gone

All children have to go thru the toothless day but never a child experience the same process.  Eldest Princess is very fortunate to have the new tooth pushing out the milk tooth therefore she do not have to bear with the boh geh (toothless in hokkien) humiliation for long.  As for Prince, the new tooth is not seen at all.  To add on to it, he had 4 teeth drop all at the same time.  But beautifully!

Looks like some secret code there huh.  When he went for his routine check up, the Dentist had a good laugh at it. Other than running away from the camera, he really is enjoying the toothless day.  For example, challenging other people with clench-teeth-sticking-out-tongue! LOL!

Why No Updates Wan?

I know I so deserved to get my ass kick.  Too bad I have a mission to accomplish and I am some what almost there.  I can’t wait to show you my farm!  On the other hand, I have been pretty tight up with quite a number of things (family involvement i.e. Sis undergo appendix surgery, Mom undergo a minor surgery, weddings, kids exam, homework, housework, etc, 4396510) (swearing in numbers as my cap lock is faulty!) and next week, I’ll be travelling with my kids again.  Woot!  I think that makes me somehow not in a mood to blog.

Some pretty photographs I took during my Cousin Yun’s wedding:

The last photo shows that there are too many photographers around!  This is a good thing when you have lots of friend carrying a dSLR.  You get free shots but then, bad day for the official photographer (the one in green shirt) as he can’t get a nice shot without ‘additional’ faces in there.  I have never felt so uninvolved in my cousin’s wedding.  Seeing so many photographers around, I better kwai-kwai sit in one corner, yea?  I only sneak up when the official photographer is out of sight.  I know I am such an obedient dog.  Woof!

Nothing To Be Yucky About. Own Blood, Ok?

Sticky note: I have since upgraded to Canon 40D and need to disposed off my 18 months old Canon 400D (click link for info) @ RM1,800.00 (Original RM2,500).  And the worst part, my Crumpler 5 Million Dollar Home is too small for the new camera.  Yes, I’m disposing that off too @ RM200.00 (Original RM249).  Anddddddddd, since I am a light traveller, the Crumpler Keystone is of no use to me.  That need to go @ RM400.00 (Original RM569).  If you are interested, please drop me a note in my comment box.

Look!  The cloth pad from Mama Patch is so beautiful!  I can’t wait for my next menses to come!

I have  the night pad tailor made to suit my preference.  The original length is 11″ but I had mine tailor made at 13″.  So kind of Chinnee and she did not obliged at my request at all.

The fabric is very soft to the feel.   Among all the design, this is my favourite.

The colour was very matching and really bring out the feel, not the boring type.  If you want to find out more about the cloth pad, go to Mama Patch website.  All the information is there.

One Happy Family (Asif real farming is not enough)

This is our newest family photo taken in Cameron.  Yup, we are on uniform.  (You should see what is at the bottom!)  I’ve been wanting to get our family photo taken since ages.

On the other note, I have been tied up with virtual ‘harvesting’ ever since I came back from Cameron.  Among the clique, all we talk now is who’s farm to harvest, who’s land to plow, wanna hire me?, want to work in my farm?,  It is so addictive!  If you are wondering what it is all about, check out Farm Town in Facebook.  Ah… I can see your satellite radios is tingling.  What else can be addictive if not for game right?  Don’t tell me I did not warn you.  Once you tried it, you want to have more!

So, for the next few weeks, you will see me less in my blog.  And if you miss me, come be my ‘neighbour’.  Hahaha!

Bento #92 – BBB: Ben 10 Bento Box

Ben 10 is making a hit among little boys nowadays.  I have one mania at home too.  Not only Carlgene wants everything that is Ben 10 theme, his favourite colour now is G.R.E.E.N.!

O.o

Food from left to right:  Cheese spagetti with a dash of seaweed powder and carrot.  Further to the right:  unknown type of fishcake & octopus sausages.  I’m trying to create a sea creature theme here but they don’t look so nice.  Looks like I need some planning and more pond supplies.

This is his first Ben 10 bento box.  I like them, not because it is Ben 10.  I just like how the cutleries is neatly store on the top compartment.

I happens to be at The Mall the other day and was browsing BIG Bookshop and chance upon this box.  Priced at RM22.90.  A bit pricey but like I say, I was attracted by the cutleries compartment. LOL.

Blah-Blah, Blah Mood

Do you ever have days when you just feel blah? There is nothing really bad going on but you just feel kinda…. lousy? For no reason? Yep, it was one of those days.  Nothing to do with PMS.  And when that happen, I feel so blah to even update my blog.  But it’s a good time to do some quiet reading.  Especially Twilight Fiction.

Till then… have a good weekend and say hi to your Mom for me.  Ciao!

Bento #91 – Crops From Cameron


Top to bottom: Onigiri rice, stir fried organic slim lily bud with hae bee (dry prawn), emperor pear & longan, deep fried chicken wings and unagi cawanmushi.

Our fridge is stuffed with so many veges we bought from Cameron!  Time to clear all of them before the once “fresh-vegetables” turned into “no-longer-fresh-vegetables”.

For the soup, we boiled together some anchovies, beetroot and carrot for an hour.

This is how my Son eat his meal.  He discard the carrot and beetroot.  Add in that two pieces of onigiri rice to the soup and finished up the whole thing!  This way, I save my energy forcing them to drink soup.

A Day As A Farmer

After a few trip up to Cameron, we started to fall in love with the place especially the weather although at some days it can be hot and some days the wind can be very strong making the weather so pleasant, so suitable for outdoor camping or even rent a rv towing. This time, we plan to let the children explore with nature.  I have been planning this event since 5 years ago but the timing is always not right whenever we are in Cameron Highlands. So I die-die also must go pick my own vegetables. While driving around looking for the vegetable farm, ‘ssssssssssome’ people losses their patient and we get comment like this:

“Aiyah, just buy some carrot and stick them in the ground then ask your kids to pull lor.”

“Veges from the market don’t want to buy. Come and pluck veges and do all the farmer’s work. He must be laughing his way to the bank!”

Thanks to BIL & Daddy. That is such an encouragement. Not!

Lots of pictures of Kharsyn & Carlgene as he enjoy getting himself dirty. Kharlette is ‘allergic’ (*rolling eye) to mud and has been staying at the cemented floor most of the time.

The first one we attack is the carrot patch!

This is the only proper picture of Kharlette at the vegetable farm


My Nephew, Jonathan looks like a dwarf holding a bunch of mini carrots.  Cute!


Raddish


Unearth the potatoes


Beetroot


One can tell that the cabbage is really heavy by looking at Kharsyn’s facial expression!


Cherry tomatoes.  They are so sweet!


Fresh carrot, anyone?


I’m loving this place.  Will be back again next time and many times more!

Strawberry Overdose

Short Talk: Yesterday, I bring along my 4 years old to enrolled for ballet lesson.  Told the teacher I am enrolling my 9 and 4 years old daughters.  She look at me and said, “… but you look so young!” I know, dem perasan right?  Make my tail stand and whistle like the Kettlebell.  Woot!

Back to Cameron Highland post.  Last May when we was in Cameron Highlands, we didn’t know strawberry was a seasonal fruits.  Since all the strawberry hasn’t ripe yet, there is none for us to hand pick.  But this time round,  Strawberry was everywhere.  This is how the charges like.  Two person is allocated to one basket and you must pluck at least half kilo of strawberry.  A line was indicated on the basket to roughly tell you the weight.  Half a kilo of strawberry is RM20.00.  I saw somewhere selling pre-packed strawberry at RM12.00. ( >.< Just close one eye).  Prices could varied from farm to farm.  We don’t want to waste time stopping at every farm comparing prices.  Most of all, we was doing this all for blogging fun and experience.

We took 2 baskets.  Dotter and Son one basket and my Sister and me another basket.  I sneaked Little Missy when the guy was not watching.  Sheeshh….

Dotter and Son happily and excitedly dash off harvesting their crops.  I have to remind them to “CUT ONLY THE RED ONES!!!”.  My Sister and Little Missy paired up so that leaves me all the time I have to be a photographer.  The two team was going their separate way so you can imagine how I ran the whole place like a mad girl.  No good.  After a while when I look into their baskets, I goes, “CUT ONLY THE DARK RED ONES! NOT THE LIGHT RED!!!!” LOL



This is my favourite shot.

Next post will have more farming involved.   Stay tune.
