My mailbox was vandalised!

It has been quite a while since I last blogged. I definitely miss blogging. My computer was down and is now dead and my hubz will get a new one probably over the weekend. I'm using his notebook at the moment and fortunately we could get internet connection.. and here I am.

There were so many things that happened over the last 3 weeks..just so many.
(1)A low key eat-out Mother's Day celebration,
(2)my grandma fell down,
(3)lost some documents I have typed when my computer system crashed,
(4)my daughter's new milestone - rolling all over the living room,
(5)my son has started to string and speak two words like (1)see (2)abah and getting to cling more,
(6)someone looked down on my degree - 'just Arts..what's so good about it?',
(7)my husband's birthday last weekend,
(8)encountered irritating people in my baking class,
(9)family outing on Vesak Day
(10)getting a meagre pay for my part-time job - grateful but wondering if it's worth it
(11)baked cookies
(12)The icing on the cake - MY MAILBOX WAS VANDALISED!!!

It has been such a roller coaster ride! I just don't know where to start. But the last one really gets to me and my hubz..

He is the one who normally checks the mail but just now we went to the mailbox together because we were walking home together from my in-law's house. What a shock we got! Guess what... my mailbox was covered with cartoon stickers and when my hubz opened it, there were pieces of twisties in the mailbox! Somehow the locking mechanism is spoilt and so anybody could just throw anything inside there! Who on earth would do such a thing I wonder. According to my hubz, there were other occasions in the past when he found sticky foodstuffs thrown inside our mailbox. My hubz is suspicious of some people but I told him as long as we don't have proof or we don't catch this people red-handed, there's nothing much that the police can do - if we were to make a report. So I told him to take a photo of the box with the stickers as an evidence of what had happened.

I wish I can go on and on but really I am tired over all these. I'll blog again very soon.

Durian Puff and Chocolate Eclairs

I've never imagined this ever before...but it happened! Just now I went for a Pastry Class and guess what? I made my very own Chocolate Eclairs, Durian Puff and two little not-so-distorted-but-edible swans! I told myself, I must learn to cook/bake what I love to eat so that's why I enrolled myself in this class.

My baking teacher is that famous lady who supplied lovely cakes for Selamat Pagi Singapura and who is the constant contributor in Warna's and Asmah Laili's recipe books. She looks good in person just as she does on TV and in photos.

My hubz is of course so excited about me being able to do such things...knowing that I'm not very good in the kitchen.

I have another 4 lessons to go. I hope I'll be able to practise what I've learnt before the next lesson. Once I'm confident of doing on my own, I hope to let my family and friends try the fruits of my labour :)

Mothers' Day is coming

Been busy lately with designing activities for the workbook...and of course, the flu,

toothache...took time away from blogging. Extracted my wisdom tooth a week back. The excruciating pain is gone as well as hard-earned cash. I'm not sure whether dentists make lots of money or the supplies are just expensive. Have to go for root canal treatment soon. Anyhow, glad that the dental episode is over for now. Mums' Day is coming...I'm getting really sentimental about it. Who could've ever imagined...Seven years ago I got married, remained childless for as long as I can remember...and this year will be my third year celebrating Mums' Day. When I look at my children, I am so thankful to God for giving me this chance to taste motherhood. When I see my boy doing silly things like laughing his head off over his own tickling, I thank God for giving me the experience. Life was much quieter and lonelier when I was childless back then...Just hubz and me and the empty house. But now, family life is really much different....for the better, I think and I hope.
