Hammy, Sweet Sour Chicken And Pork Knuckles

The kids are so in love with the hamsters despite the fact it has been two weeks since we got them. I am glad because I mentally gave the kids about three days to get over the fact that they have pets. But they have been consistently looking after, checking, feeding and playing with the hamsters. Looks like the hamsters are here to stay. =)

The kids love to place the hamsters in this transparent globe thing. Honestly speaking, I love it too! Coz they are just too oofing adorable!! One son even tried to kiss the hamster through the globe thing. Go figure. Haha

Now, onto my other love...cooking. You'll see why it's so hard for me to lose weight...

Sweet and sour chicken. So hard to lose weight. Promise not to make this too often. And the funny thing is that the kids don't usually like anything sour despite me sweetening it up with honey. But this....they can't resist either. You can actually be very flexible about the ingredients so, since I had baby corn and carrots in the fridge...ah well. Otherwise, I would add pineapple, green pepper and tomato into the mix, but I didn't have that.

I am a very 'fresh ingredients only' kinda person.

And this is my other weakness....Dark Soya Pork dish with Eggs. Sigh.....I made some soup to go along with this as well and it was yumminess. Like I said, the kids don't like anything sour so, in their portion, there's no vinegar but I topped mine with vinegar. Yums....

Now, back to losing weight. Shaking my head now....almost impossible.

Maid Side-Kick

I was kind of a little sad when I read the news about this - there will be no live-in Indonesian maids in Malaysia anymore . There are pros and cons to having a live-in maid, as with everything else, but for us, we enjoyed more pros than cons. Back then, when my kids were little, we brought in a family of maids to help with...well, just about everything, and we were like two families merged into one. They ate what we ate, we sleep, they sleep, we shop, they shop, they joke, we laugh, we joke, they laugh...for me, the maid I hired was more like a sister and side-kick to me. For that few years, I was dependent on her to mind-read my schedule and when I need or don't need help. She picked things up quickly and we ended up having lots of moments whereby we were in sync. Today, two of them are on my Facebook and we were gleefully chatting over Facebook Messenger since they've just discovered the wonders of the Internet and Social Media. Since we were more like partners in crim...

Drunk People Cannot Make Comments on Blogs

OK, here's the thing with this image thing....you don't want people to design robots or programs or spiders or cockroaches or whatever to spam blogs and websites. I understand that. In fact, I am all for it. It's annoying to have spambots come in and post one liners like.... Can't get it up? Try this website. Top quality Viagra for low pricing. Value discount if bought inbulk. Or the most common ones would be.... Want a completely paid-for holiday with your family and coming home to a villa beside the sea before taking a spin in your luxury car. Then you have to read this! It's amazing! Within three weeks, you will get $32,000 in your account. Within a month, whether you like it or not, we'll bank in $65,498 into your bank account. Within six months, you're a f*%#@* royalty. I don't like that....and I assuming you don't like that either, right? If you have a popular blog, you get even worse stuff like hate mails, awful comments or people who ...

A Liberating Activity - Guess What Mine Is....

When asked what’s my one single favorite thing to do in the world, I would usually name a whole list of things that I love to do when my work is not screaming at me. Something that takes my mind COMPLETELY off of everyday tasks and relaxes me. Take a guess what it is…. If you say ‘ reading ’, yes, I love reading (especially soppy love stories with lots of sex scenes, please. Hee hee hee ….) and I also love mystery novels but it’s not the first on the list. If you say ‘ playing the piano ’; yes, I love playing the piano. Creating forms a huge part of my life and whenever I play the piano (as inept at it as I am), there’s this tiny little girl inside of me jumping up and down with glee, clapping her hands. It’s my childhood dream to be able to play the piano! And thumping on the keys gives me a sense of satisfaction when I hear the music. If you say ‘ writing ’; You’ve got to be kidding me! You mean I don’t write enough as it is? Case closed. If you say ‘ playing with my kids ’; Yea...
