Andrew being here doesn't help much either. His medical chek up was due again and as usual he'll take a week off for last minute excercises before going for the review.
The problem with not blogging anything at the right moment is that you tend to forget what really happened and much of the feeling when it happened were gone.
That was how it was with what went through these few days of mine.
I remembered saturday was spent ( as it was a school day for the girls) going out with Andrew for breakfast before coming home and going out again to pick up the older girls for their bowling training .
It was suppose to start at 12pm but their class only finished at 12.30pm so we were there only well after 12.30pm. I've asked mom to get Lydia from her teacher's house as her class too finished at 12.30. Timing wasn't right for me to do it myself. It was the best solution too as I would still have to send her at my mom's sometime later. It was weekend and 'popoh's' house is her home during the weekends.
My dad had actually wanted to take her since yesterday but didn't because of the extra school day.
Pity him . He'd missed her since his last trip back from KK. I was told he would leave again for KK on sunday morning.
Dad is rather busy nowdays as he's building another house (much to my mom's annoyance and disapproval) back on inheritance land in Papar.
He says he is making a house with an underground room..... daa!
That is somewhat of a dream to make come true for him I think. He had made a room halfway underground ( Lydia once asked...' is that a pool?") with the house in Beluran.
That was I think an on the spur of the moment project then or else he would have made it a full underground room.
I have yet to stay in that room which he insisted as... 'sejuk'. I have not infact been in that house more than once. It is after all a two hour trip to Beluran.
I wonder what would happen should there was a sudden flood and we didn't realise it....???? then it sure would be a pool just a Lydia had said.... hhmmm
I woke up early sunday morning because the 'babies' were making so much noise.
Andrew was also up early as he had an appointment with the dentist to have his teeth fill.
The appointment was in town so I took the free ride to 'jalan jalan' at the sunday flee market.
We went our seperate ways to do our seperate 'things' and by the time I thought he would be done, gone to the clinc to meet up.
He wasn't done. Not for another two hours.
As I was already there I decided to have my teeth checked as well.
I found out I needed fillings.....four fillings! ...aahhhh
My appointment was made for 1st of May.
We went rushing back to get the girls as they were told by their coash via sms they would have a bowling competition with the Telekon team that morning.
We got there right on time and they bowled four games to determind the eventual winner.
Where Tisha bowled brillantly it wasn't the same case for Yona.
Tisha came in second while Yona 11th.
Afternoon was spent as a family thing.... lunch on 'Indian's pizza' and napping in the dining room .
This was too cute to pass by. I found this adorable hamster at the flee market. It cost me just RM2
Mondays have actually always been my 'day off'. Not this week though as Andrew was still around. He had gone for his blood test appointment earlier but was back by nine. That would mean today I would have to cook lunch.. and dinner.....eehhhhh maaalllaaaassssssss....
The 'on-off' of the electicity situation was still an on going thing here. While yesterday it didn't happened, It did today.
Exactly at 7pm it went off. A three hour of darkness and warm endurance which Andrew was unwilling to take. We 'escaped' to Giant for some cooler environment.
A bad choice as that thought was shared with hundreds others. The place was fully packed and it was really cooler just to be outside.
It suprised me that we spent almost RM400 with the 'this-that' things at Giant. I added another RM129 for two giant bottle of @180 primrose capsuls from guardian.
An expensive option for enduring a little 'heat' at home.
Probably because he'd spent money the day earlier, Andrew didn't want to go out today. Not that I have much problem with the idea. Just that I will now need to cook his meal for him ........aahhhh....again.
I had been itching to get my hair trimmed so I went on by myself.
Before that I did some more shopping for bakery utensils..( hehe.. more spending) .
Took my lunch alone ..... at a open air shop!
It's been a while since anyone seen me dining alone. Infact I felt a bit out of place myself. It was kind of too quiet for confort.
After a short afternoon nap I was into my 'now favourite' past time..... baking.
I've gotten the ciffon tin I wanted at Giant so I was ready to try out my cheese chiffon.
I tried a new recipie for carrot cupcakes as well.
Anyhow...I did take some photos.
I made the girls my guinea pigs... to try out ( and 'getting rid')of my 'products'
Not a problem with Yona and Lydia as they too have the same passion for cakes as me. Tisha on the other hand, packed her share and had her school friends tried them.
Not a bad idea as I do need outsider's reviews. My girls's?... don't bother asking cos I already know what they were going to say....
This is a portion of the cheese chiffon that I bake using a regular round tin
While this is the one that I baked in a real chiffon tin that I just bought for RM26 at giant
The carrot cup cakes that I tried. Results were ok but personally I think it was a bit sweet and heavy
Wala... this is the almost end product carrot cupcake with glace icing... I have not fully decorated the cake
