NeW GolF SeT

Kayden received two golf sets today - from his beloved father. He gave his father a hug and said ' Thank You '. I was so proud of him at that moment. It made me realized he is now a big boy...

His new golf set

His many poses...


Ball not in position

Placing his ball properly

In position

Getting ready to swing

And swing...

A FamiLy OuTinG aT tHe BeaCh

Reminiscing our previous outing at the beach, we decided it would be nice to gather once again and this time, Di-Kim, Jacq-che, Ah An, Benedict and Vanessa joined us. The location is still the same - Tungku Beach and even the food is the same - fried bee hoon, curry, bread and rice. Haha...

Trying out his new juice ;-D

I love his smile...



Burying my foot with the sand

Running away from the tiny waves



Wearing a hat for the very first time - normally he doesn't want!

DiFFeRenT DreSS CoDe

Today is my first day of work at St. Andrew's School and I was surprised to know that we, teachers, are not allowed to wear long slack pants to work unless it is part of your traditional costume. During my years in Chung Hwa Middle School, there has never been such a rule except that we can't wear mini-skirts or skirts whose length are above the knee cap, slippers, transparent blouses nor sleeveless blouses...


So I had to go make some baju kurung and baju fashion to wear to work. Luckily I found a tailor who charges cheap and his workmanship is quite good. I also have to teach Physical Education which means I have to wear a track suit and long pants when teaching PE.

Sigh... $ has yet to come into my pocket but now, it's going out - on clothes and school stationery...

NeW DisH ThouGhT by JacQ-cHe

Yesterday. Jacq-che discussed a dish with me, which I found quite creative - hard boiled eggs with the egg yolks being replaced with salmon fish ball.



As it was quite a dry dish, I suggest pouring tomato sauce with big onions on top of it and the end result is as follow:-
What do you think? ;-p

As I have mentioned before, lately I have been trying out a few recipes for Kayden to taste. I can say this for sure - it's not an easy task but someone got to do it... I ran out of ideas and decided to browse the net for simple toddler soup recipe and this caught my eye... I am not a vivid fan of western cuisine and I have rarely drink this kind of soup too. However, after reading through the ingredients and preparations for this dish, they are cheap and easy to get as well as to prepare. So here's is my mushroom soup for Kayden...

He finished the whole bowl !

WonDerFul NeWs ToDay

Ring!!! My phone rang at 7:00 a.m. early in the morning. Looking at the ID caller, it's the call I have been waiting for... My hopes soared once again. I answered the phone and was given the good news. My job application has been approved by the Ministry of Education and I can start work on 5th March 2011. I was delighted to hear the news - I have been waiting to hear it for one month!


I have to go over tomorrow morning to meet with Mrs. Kang so she can allocated my teaching schedule and guide me on how to proceed with it. However, my interview with the MOE is on Monday, 7th March, at 2.30 p.m. If this interview is somehow like the previous one I went before, then I am glad because it only takes about ten minutes! Hooray....

Tomorrow, Kayden's school is holding a Messy Play Day and I am thinking to volunteer to help out. I want to do some mother - and - son activity before I start off work on Saturday. I want to make this very special day memorable for us!
