What Fever Can Do

When Sherilyn was having high fever several days ago, she was super cranky and whiny. One night at around 4am, when her body temperature was so high till her brain got a tad ‘out of sync’, she woke up and got real chatty. She wasn’t gibberish but was talking about things that made sense and talked non-stop for almost 15 minutes. Suddenly she remembered the new Barney stickers that daddy had bought for her from the pasar malam and asked for them. So I gave the stickers to her and she clutched on to them without wanting to let go. When she finally dozed off an hour later, I removed the stickers from her hands and placed them next to her on the bed.

Granny and Koong Koong Will Be Here

The gals are getting all excited as granny and koong koong (my parents) will be here on Sunday. The gals have not seen their grandparents for more than 3 months since we’ve not gone back to Ipoh since July and they miss them a lot. My parents will only be here for 1 day and on Monday, they will fly to China for a 2-week vacation.

Our Afternoon At Bangsar Village

We went to Bangsar Village for lunch today. Sil had wanted to try out Delicious since she has heard so much about the delicious food at Delicious but it was full to the brim and the queue was long too. So we went to Banquet instead. This time, I ordered a prawn vermicelli and I must say it tasted really good. The broth was thick and rich and there were 2 big prawns, though I didn’t eat the prawns. Hubby ordered a wagyu beef steak (very tasty), our maid had fried yellow noodles which was also very tasty, sil had a nasi lemak, hubby’s aunty had a mee jawa and we all had fruit rojak and mango salad as appetizer. For dessert, we had a yam cake (it’s not woo tau koa but an English cake made of yam and was very tasty), moist orange cake (satisfactory), Mocha cake (satisfactory) and a tiramisu with a scoop of vanilla ice cream (good). Overall, we had a satisfying lunch.

After lunch, sil and koo poh (hubby’s aunty) brought the gals to Toys R Us and sil bought them a toy, a HUGE one that is. Later, we went grocery shopping. Also bought Sherilyn a Barney pajamas from Toys R Us. We only came home at around 5pm and I didn’t get to do much blogging today.

High Definition Video Footages

Hubby and I have a friend who is a model turned actor and now he has set up a modeling agency cum production company. This guy used to work as a part-time waiter for my hubby during his secondary school days. He’s a very entrepreneur guy and is never afraid of taking challenges and risks. His latest project is to produce an advertisement with models from his agency. When we met a few days ago, he casually asked if I know of any place where he can get nice high definition (hd) video footages for his latest project. Since I’d earlier written a review on hd stock footage video, I told him to check out AlwaysHD.com and register himself as a member. I think my friend will find this website very useful as he can purchase the stock footage videos as well as sell his own produced stock video footages.

Off We Go To Bangsar Village

We’re going to Bangsar Village for lunch now and after lunch, will be bringing the gals to Gymboree. It will be their first time at Gymboree and if they like it, will send them for classes. Also need to get a new set of pajamas for Sherilyn as both the gals were fighting for the same new pajamas that I had bought earlier. Though I had bought them each a new pajamas, but both were fighting over the pajamas with the picture of a cat.

Maid’s Secret Love Affair

When I brought the gals out to the park yesterday evening, my neighbor who was inside her house rushed out from the house waving to me as she was making some gestures with both her hands. She had wanted to inform me that she had seen my maid and the security guard on patrol passing love letters a moment ago when my maid was watering the plants at our garden. I can’t believe how fast and professional my maid can do it without my noticing it as I was already watching her very closely from inside the house the whole day. I guess she must have jumped on the opportunity by quickly placing the love note on top of the pillar of our porch when I went to the kitchen for a short while. Anyway, there’s nothing much I can do as my maid has not done something really wrong. I just have to be on my guard and make sure she doesn’t run away with this guard or bring this guard home at 3 o’clock in the morning, just like what my previous maids did. She’s leaving in mid January 08 and I think I’ll just have to close both eyes to this hanky-panky business as long as it does not affect her performance.

Buying Auto Accessories Online

Hubby has 2 vans to run his catering business. If one of his vans are down, he will find it very difficult to rely just on 1 van as he normally has a few functions running simultaneously in a day. When one of the vans broke down last week and needed a replacement auto accessory, I told him not to go back to the car workshop that repaired his MPV.

If you’d read my earlier posts, you’d have read that hubby’s MPV was stuck in this workshop for almost half a year when he sent it there to get it repaired after the MPV was submerged in flood water last year. The workshop owner gave lots of reasons and crap to hubby when hubby kept asking him when his MPV will be fixed. I told hubby that he should try ordering his van auto accessories online from BuyAutoTruckAccessories.com as this online store carries a large inventory of auto accessories at low prices. I am also pretty sure he doesn’t have to wait for half a year for the accessories to arrive.

Pork Ribs Oats

Instead of cooking rice porridge for my 2 sick kittens, I cooked oats with pork ribs yesterday. This is a perfect meal if you want to whip up something that’s fast and tasty. All it takes is less than half an hour.

First, marinate the pork ribs with sesame oil, light soya sauce and corn flour (so that the meat will be smoother). If you want, you can add a pinch of pepper. Keep the pork ribs in the fridge for at least an hour.

Cook the oats for 5 minutes. Since I made some soup yesterday, I cooked the oats with soup. Add in the pork ribs and cook for another 15 minutes or until the pork ribs are tender.

Result – tasted very much like rice porridge and very tasty. I loved it and my 2 fussy pots loved it too.

Getting Bored of Steamed Dishes

Ever since the gals were down with fever and throat ulcer since last Saturday, we’ve been eating very plain and bland food – plain porridge, noodles in soup, steamed fish, steamed tofu, oats and bread. I am getting really fed up with these food and today, I’m going to ask my maid to pan fry some pork chop. Don’t get me wrong, they are not for the gals but I’m eating them myself. My maid has cooked anchovies porridge for the gals and will be steaming a fish and they’ll also be having an organic siew pak choy stir fried with minced chicken meat dish. There’s also an ABC soup.

If Only We Could Be At Orlando

Hubby still has 1 night of unutilized free hotel stay at a hotel that he’s a member of. We had utilized 1 night free stay at Hilton Sentral recently and we plan to stay at Westin KL this December during Christmas. We celebrated our Christmas at Westin KL last year and it was such great fun for the gals. They loved seeing the white crystal Christmas tree at the hotel and swimming at the pool, not to mention gorging on all the mouth-watering hotel food. Though it’s nothing like going to Walt Disney World in Orlando and staying in a luxury hotel in orlando, but it was still enjoyable for the gals. Of course if hubby has enough money, it would be perfect if he could bring us all to Walt Disney World in Orlando and spend our Christmas there.

We Witnessed A Car Theft

Last week, hubby and I witnessed a car theft at our neighborhood. We had just gotten back from the clinic and were about to get down from the car when hubby saw a man behaving suspiciously at the door of a car about 6 houses away from our house. Seconds later, the smooth criminal opened the car door of a Proton Iswara Aeroback and sped away. We weren’t very sure if it was his car or he was the thief. Anyway, hubby immediately informed the security guards on patrol.

The next day, 3 young men came knocking on our door to ask if I have seen a red Proton Iswara Aeroback that was parked at the spot that we saw the man drove it away. They told me that the car belonged to their friend and he couldn’t find his car after work that evening. I told him what had happened and it’s true that the man whom we saw behaving suspiciously indeed stole the car. My neighborhood is really unsafe. Even with the presence of security guards patrolling the area round the clock, car thefts are still very rampant. Hubby’s MPV was stolen right in front of our house last year at broad daylight and the previous owner of our house had also lost his Proton Perdana to car thieves. Even our neighbour lost his Kia Sorento MPV last year. I think it’s high time we look for another place to stay. I would personally prefer a condo with tight security.

Streamyx Down Again

Streamyx connection was down for almost 2 hours from 12 noon. The ‘data’ line on my modem was blinking and all other lights were stable too. When I clicked on the Streamyx icon on my desktop, an error message no. 678 appeared. Called Streamyx and was on the line with the customer service guy for almost an hour but the problem wasn’t solved. Was feeling so down as I have 9 outstanding tasks due tomorrow and on Saturday. Thank God the connection was up again at around 2pm, otherwise would have to work at hubby’s office and bring the 2 gals along.

My Friend’s Moving Again

I got an email from my friend who’s working in the U.S. yesterday informing me that she’ll be moving again. Her hubby who’s working as an auditor will be transferred to another state. They will be moving from San Francisco to New York this time. Moving from one country to another or moving interstate is no big deal to them as they’ve moved more than 3 times within a span of 5 years. They have a list of good and reliable Long Distance Moving Companies with them and each time her hubby is given the transfer letter, she will hop on to MovingCompanies.tv to get the moving quotes and select the moving company. She has had good experience with the mover from this company when she moved from Seattle to San Francisco about a year ago. She will also get a 65% discount this time as it will be the second time she’s using this moving company. I wouldn’t like to be moving all the time but oh well, my friend and her hubby have no kids yet, so living a nomadic life should not be a problem for them.

A Very Sick Kitten

When Sherilyn had high fever and a big ulcer in her throat a couple of days back, she didn’t have the appetite to eat anything except for cool Japanese cucumbers, cool water and soup. Her temp shot up to almost 40 degrees Celsius and I had to sponge her body all the time with a damp hanky and gave her suppositories too. She was super cranky and whiny. Today is the first day her fever has gone done and she’s one very happy and energenic toddler again!

Tag : What’s My Breakfast Today?

This mummy would like to know what I had for breakfast today. As usual, I had fried vegetarian meehoon with a fried egg, something that I’m really hooked on from the start of my pregnancy. There’s nothing else that I really like for breakfast ever since I got preggers except for this, though sometimes I would have porridge or nasi lemak. Before I got pregnant, I would rarely have these stuff for breakfast. I only ate fruits, skim milk and hard boiled egg for breakfast. See what the wacky pregnancy hormones can do to your system.

Tagging time now. I’d like to know what you had for breakfast too this morning :
