Last day at AST

A good breakfast before our "graduation ceremony".

I'll miss this awesomely spacious nursing room!

Cooking frenzy

Whipping up a simple meal.

I cooked ABC pasta for big girl and myself.

Packing goodie bags for baby's first birthday.

I made ice cream using orange juice.

I cooked porridge.

Happy Mother's Day!

Asked my mum where she wanna enjoy a good meal on mother's day. She said, "No, it'll be crowded. That'll be difficult for you with your two young kids. Just come back and I'll cook for everyone. We'll enjoy a simple meal together and the kids can play and we can just hang out without braving the crowd. We'll dine out another day."

That's why to me, she's forever the best best best mother in the whole wide world!! And I'm forever thankful for being such a blessed daughter.

Count my blessings

Sigh, I think I sprained my right ankle. It started with a mild pain in the morning and it's getting worse throughout the day of walking on flat grounds plus going up and down the stairs. 

What perked me up was when I reached home moments ago, to see my girl dancing around in front of the baby's high chair entertaining her baby sister and laughing away at her own silly moves. My girl has just finished her dinner and mum-in-law's still feeding the littler one. I'm counting my blessings everyday, to have such lovely daughters and wonderful support at home.

Added 2 days later: MIL is a gem! She rubbed my foot with medicated ointment and gave me medicated plasters to apply on my foot overnight, and my foot felt better on the next day. *thankful indeed*

Babies' playdate

Today my parents-in-law brought my big girl out so I can bring my baby girl our for a babies' gathering with her peers.

Since we're meeting after lunch, I decided to cook lunch for myself using the electric lunch box that my mum gave me. She has passed it to me for some weeks but I haven't gotten a chance to use it. When baby girl fell into deep slumber during her morning nap, I quickly whipped up a simple meal with some of the frozen stuff that I bought.

I put rice with chopped mock balls and cherry tomatoes to cook with the brown rice in the main compartment, and steamed some kimchi dumplings in the top compartment. And while waiting for the food to be cooked and my girl to wake up, I had a tub of the yummy ginkgo nuts, beancurd skin and barley dessert that my MIL cooked in the morning. As usual, she cooked a huge batch and portioned them into tubs to bring out for her friends. My big girl who joined their gathering enjoyed the dessert too!

When my girl woke up, with had lunch together. Her porridge was already put inside the Hello Kitty Thermos by MIL before they left, and I had my first electric lunch box meal. I popped some mock soy nuggets into the air fryer and enjoyed the quick lunch.

After lunch, I washed up and changed, and we went out for a playdate with her peers at Tickle Tickle. After many shots, I realized that my girl's always looking at other people's food! In fact, she goes after anyone who has snacks for her. Such a foodie, just like a sis! Oops, and her mum too. :P

I thought this piccy's so cute, I added the speech balloons after laughing over my girl's pose.

I brought her dinner out and fed her the porridge while we were still at Tickle Tickle. Then we headed home and I decided not to make a pit stop for food, so I went straight home and cooked dinner for myself.

And yup... I used the same 3 frozen food again for dinner. This time, the sides on the plate were dumped in the air fryer while I also topped my extra spicy curry Maggi with a slice of cheese. ^^

May Day

It's May Day! My brekkie was two kosong prata and MIL's home-brewed kopi~

Hubby's on an overseas job assignment and I suggested to my parents to visit Waterway Point. Met my parents with my two girls, one in the carrier and the other holding my hand. After strolling around the mall, my big girl got tired and fussed, so we decided to have a coffee break at PappaRich.

Coffee break was so filling but that didn't stop us from having a good dinner at GroVe, which has become very popular and is brimming with people. It took us a while to find a place to sit down and ordered our dinner.

The portions are huge and we were all filled to the brim! In fact, we couldn't finish the 2-in-1 fries and my girl couldn't finish her creamy mushroom pasta, so we packed them home and had them for supper.

It was a great day spent with my parents and my daughters. We took a cab together and my parents drop us off at our place before heading home themselves. Thank you dad for treating us to dinner! ❤
