When I am hardworking

This is what I came upon and got me laughing non-stop...non-stop....kennysia.com: Pinku

My day starts like any other day but something horrendously funny happened.

Out of no reason, I was hardworking. Hardworking on cleaning up Seth's sterilizer with citric acid. So I did. Pour in the mixture of citric acid with 200ml water into the sterilizer and boiled it for 1-2 minutes. Leave to stand for 30 minutes. After that, poured away the mixture and sterilize the sterilizer with one cycle. Wipe away any residue. Voila, the sterilizer looks as good as new!!

So again, kay khiang, thinking that the electric kettle needs some sterilizing too, I did the same. I was doing the process while mom was taking her afternoon nap. I went out at 3pm to meet my friend for tea. Came back home at 4plus. Mom was awake. While I was again, hardworking, packing Seth's clothes drawers, mom was playing with Seth. Hardworking till mom finished her cooking, bathing and came into my room, I am still packing.

She said,"How come the electric kettle's water taste saltish?"

I said," HUH?? OH MY GOD!! That water cannot drink!!"

She said,"I used the water from the electric kettle to cook tomato fish and vegetables for dinner!"

I said,"Jia Lat! Cannot eat liao!"

She said,"I even took my medication with the water...."

I said, "......."(dumbfounded)

You have no idea how panic she looked when I told her the water can't be consumed. You have no idea, how I was "whacked" with words on my carelessness by leaving the water in the electric kettle and not pour it away. End I was blowing my top and ranting at Olive Tree (called him to get dishes for dinner since the fish and veg can't be eaten). Hiaz Hiaz....

I was really apologetic but at the moment, I am angry. Angry that why mom never use the tap water to cook vegetables and fish. Angry that I have filled 2 big flasks of water for her consumption and she drinks from the electric kettle. Angry....at my mistake for not pouring away the citric acid mixture. End up, wasted her efforts of cooking dinner and the delicious dishes she has whipped up for us.

Ain't I toot???

So much for being hardworking......

Captured on the night when we had our very first dining experience at Top of the M . The occasion: celebrate Jon's Birthday. It's Seth very first experience, but obviously to him, it's just like any kind of dinner. As for me, I've to wait for 3 decades to be able to have such an experience! bwhaahhaha....what a funny thought. The restaurant has such a quiet ambience and at certain times, Seth was bubbling so loudly that we were so embarrassed. The waiters and waitresses were so nice to come over and play with Seth. One even offered chocolate truffles filled with mint ice cream for Seth! Too bad, my darling son don't know how to appreciate and those went into our tummies instead. (**,) You can see he enjoyed himself loads. Playing and being entertained. He was even entertained by the live strings group (or whatever you call that) with "You are my sunshine" and "Twinkle Twinkle Little Stars". That amazed him! We had a dinner set for 4 of us.

Long Time No See/Hear

Yes, neglected the updates of Seth, what's going around at home, at work. Quite a fair bit has happened. Close friends would have known and I really thank God for faithful friends and sisters whom comforted and encouraged me during the time of trial. The episode starts off when I start falling sick frequently, worse came after March 18th, when I had a period of high for a week! That's terrible, felt aching, fever just simply to go away and not well to assume anything. Being out of office for a week proved to be disastrous I guess. Till date, I still have 322 mails not read in my mailbox! HA! The body has taken a toll, mentally, i am weak. Got to admit it, maybe the stress at work wasn't for me. I went back last week to complete outstanding tasks, (too many!!!!) and also trying to cope with so much requests from customers, traveling around, delivering documents. But I wasn't well yet, had diarrhea and vomit so nightly since last Wed till Friday. Boss, was picking on sma...

What have I been doing?

Yes, I've been really busy. How did all these started, the digi SB, the addiction, the hunger for more ideas and all this equivalent to more time spent in front of my lappy. (I shall give my lappy a name....Let's just call it MoS) How does it sound? Aiya, anyway, it's my lappy, how I wanna name it, my prerogative. BB Seth was doing CIO training for more than a week already. He is still crying in the nights, we kinda of give up letting him cry in the wee hours and I continue to give him 1-2 times feeds. SO much of crying, that his double eyelids for his left eye popped out already. Poor guy. The routine now is, he'll cry a bit till he dozed off at 9-9.30pm. So, we'll have free time to do what we need to. (chores seems to be the utmost priority) However, I've been such an addiction to the board and SB(Scrap-booking) , I didn't do much and poor Olive Tree got to do it. Anyway, I did sweeping and mopping yesterday and have contributed to the house chores. (**,)...
