Weekend Outing - Collection of Award

Last weekend we were at Singapore Science Centre sebab my DH dpt recognition for being a blood donor for 25 times so dia dpt bronze award lah and we got free entry and as usual lah yang fully enjoy our time was my little princess it was here 1st time there and she got lots and lots of question why this why that and whats this and whats that and she excited says can we come here again ibu please, pretty please, so i say ok lah why not but not so soon after the school holiday sebab during the holidays the place is so crowded so my little girl don't quite get to enjoy the exhibit fully.

And as usual my little girl pantang kalau nampak air kalau tak main or touch memang lah tak sah. There was a designated place for water play at the science centre but the weather was cloudy last saturday so i don't want my little girl to have her water play. But when she saw the area she excitedly say ibu can i play with water but both my DH and I say no cause the weather looks like its going to rain so we promise her next time so i thought selamat lah dia tak main air but i thought wrong, outside McDonald ada pulak air pancut habis lah my little girl tak leh nak tahan godaan and habis she is wet from head to toe. Nasib baik lah i brought along baju extra for her cause i know my daughter well, she just luv water.

Oh ya my boss is back from his holidays and he bought me presents.

He went to Prague, this is my DH and I nya dream destination, memang lah kita nak gi sini tapi tak per simpan duit dulu. The green colour T-shirt with the butterfly is for my little girl and the white colour T is for me. Sayang juga eh my boss towards me, apa tak yer i kan perkerja contoh, ha, ha, ha Thanks Boss!

A Mix of All Thoughts

Ok 1st part, cuti sekolah dah bermula, dah masuk hari ke 4 to be exact and last week both my DH and I dah meet up with my girl's teacher and her progress report has been good and positive and my girl is able to understand all lesson thought by her teachers cuma satu perkara jer yang i musykil. My girl teacher ask me if my girl understands English and whether she has an English speaking background, huh terperanjat kejap both my hubby and I. As far as we are concern my girl understand and speaks English very well in fact her vocab is so extensive and she does not speak broken English like for eg kalau org slalu ckp this is my one she does not she will say it's mine cause i make sure that when i speak to her i speak to her in proper English not a broken or singlish in terms. I ask her teacher why and she says that when her teacher speaks to my girl in English she will answer in Malay, whereas her classmates speaks English. I bukan nak look down upon my girl nya classmates but when my girl speaks to her friend in English her friends normally does not understand her. My girl once told me ibu why my friend don't understand what I am trying to say and judging by her look she looks fed-up so i told her its ok sweetheart talk to your friend in malay i'm sure they will understand u. Ok back to her teacher i go on explaining that my girl starts school when she was only 2 and she came from an English background school so last year when she start Nursery class she had a culture shock cause her friends mostly speaks malay and she doesn't so both my DH and I encourage her to speaks more malay instead and we did see an improvement in her malay even my relative that came to our house did comment her malay improve so much. So i tak kisah lah kalau her teacher thinks that my girl does not speaks English that much cause she does when she is at home and out of school. So when the session is over both my DH and I ask my girl:
Me : Sweetie why don't you want to speak English to your teacher
Darling : Because I want to be different Ibu
OMG she is only 4+ and she is able to tell me that she wants to be different from her friends. Ok lah both my DH and I no hal if she want to be different from the rest.

2nd part, tuan besar i pergi bercuti for a week so i ingatkan dia tak ada senang lah hidup i sikit. Rilek nak buat keje-keje i yang lain especially my filling yang berlambak sangat sampai sakit mata i nak memandang but i thought wrong, ya ampun keje i makin memeningkan kepala sebab boss tak ada, phone call banyak asking for answers then i nak buat macam mana!! Pening and bingit, semalam one of our client call me sampai empat kali and asking the same question and i have to give him the same answer that i have to wait for my boss nya reply and there is nothing much i can do and i almost menjerit and tengking that man yang dia dah tak faham bahasa kalau susah sangat nak faham in English meh akak terangkan dlm bahasa tamil! mcm lah i boleh ckp tamil he, he, he so due to my stress sangat i balik semalam terus i bake a cake! Orange Blended Cake! my DH terperanjat apahal u buat kek, i just look at him i stress lah so nak release ni. But my little girl luv it she keep on saying Ibu can i help please so i say ok lets do it.

It is so easy to make and taste good too, append herewith the recipe:

1 orange - cut into small pieces including the skin
2 cups of flour } sieve together
1 tsp of baking powder }
2 cups of sugar (but i kurangkan sebab i takut manis, i use 1 and half jer)

Blend all ingredient (using normal blender) except the flour. Once all mix, pour into a bowl and mix in the flour bit by bit till finish. Then pour into a 9 inch baking tray and bake for 40 mins to preheat oven at 170C. Dah senang kan the recipe. Thanks to Kak Fida yang post and give this simple and delicious recipe.
