Hubby told me that once he had a conversation with his colleague:
"Is your wife working?" colleague asked.
"No". Hubby answered.
"So, she is a full time housewife?"
"Sort of."
"She looks after the children?"
"My mum helps to look after them."
"So she does the housework & cooking?"
"We have a maid, she doesn't cook."
"So what does she do?"
"I don't know, but she always complains that she is busy."
Things that I have been busy with recently:
Mum's hospitalization:
Mum's leg has been swelling since early Aug. Have been sending her to GPs, Chinese doctors to Polyclinic couple of times. But no improvement. With her food poisoning incident, she ended up in SGH, to treat her leg as swell. She was discharged, but the leg swell again the very next day. Now, she was back in the hospital 2nd time. I have been to the A&E for 3 times within 1 month, each time spending not less than 6 hours waiting. When she was warded, she disliked the food there, so the heartache daughter tried to ta bao nice food everyday and visit her at noon time.
Son's birthdays:
Aron's 4th birthday - 30 Aug
Asher's 5th birthday - 17 Sep
See how much they have grown.... Many people says that I am a lucky mum, cos I have "easy" boys, as they are not the hyperactive type. Indeed, I agreed. They are also the lucky children, as they don't have super strict and fierce adults to discipline them. They are given a lot of space to grow in their own ways. With patient talks & communications, and only occasional screaming from the mummy, they have grown up to be the gentle and sweet boys.
On this year's birthdays, luckily, hubby and me have decided NOT to throw a party this year, otherwise, I would have been DEAD BUSY.
Well, even for class celebrations and home celebrations, that would add up to 4 celebrations in half a month! From sourcing of goodies, self design and packaging to sourcing of 4 nice birthday cakes. Only mummy think is worth spending the time and effort.

September School Holidays:
The first 3 days of holiday were normal school days - the school prepared special programmes. We left the last 4 days free. The boys had been asking to go Genting. Well, they had been there 3 times already. The adults are tired of that place. So, for a change, we went to Sunway Lagoon in KL. Its a convenient place for everyone. The hotel, theme park and a big shopping mall are just located next to each other. So no travelling is needed for the 4 days stay.
Baking Class:
I have taken up the cake baking class at the CC near my place since early Aug. There are 5 stages altogether, each stage has 8 lessons, and I am currently in stage 1.With the endless things I need to settle, I didn't have much time to try out many recipes at home, but still manage to try a few.
My latest project is the mooncake. I have been buying lots of mooncakes to give away to relatives every year. Since I had just attend the mooncake class, I decided to add some "personal" touch to my gifts this year. My mooncakes may not be as good as those professionally made by the chefs, but at least I think I can give myself 3 out of 5. Hope my relatives give some face, don't throw it into the bin without tasting it.
