Ordinary

A post before the upcoming holidays.

Many people I know are already making plans where to go, what to eat, where to eat, even where to go for a short day-trip. But for Princess Ribbon here, it makes no difference. Still another ordinary day. Means, I'm staying at home taking care of the kids again. Boring?

Back to the kids, if they don't fight, I am happy. It's tiring to be alert and keep an eye, especially after what happened to G. But well, am not complaining, this is what I have to do, as parents, comes together in the package if I want to have kids. 


G's not interested with toys or the TV. When Kz is playing with something, G comes and attack, and vice-versa. So, they fight - all the time. Here's their rack. Would you be interested with this? Do you find it impossible that G doesn't even like one thing from this loot?


Ok, now come lunch. Lunch when I'm alone is simple. I only cook simple food. I will be making something like this - again. Soupy noodles with egg and assorted balls. Boring?


After the kids nap, my turn to eat. No, I don't sleep when the kids sleep. That's the time for me to eat and do house chores. I don't eat instant noodles all the time, but if I want something fast (so that I can start doing my house chores) this is the easiest thing I can whip up - Mamee Chef tomyam instant noodles! *Slurp*


Yep, I'll be eating this in my smelly pyjamas, oily face, messy hair, oohh with a stinky mouth too. *I only brush my teeth when I shower in the afternoon after both of them nap*

So dear readers, I guess this is how my holiday will look like - from this Saturday until next Wednesday. Happy holidays!

    Morning, Louiz! Frankly for me, I would rather stay home during the holidays. The roads will be jammed and any places of interest like resorts would be full of people and crowded. I don't like crowds and I am happy staying at home doing my chores (I love housework, Am I mad?) and gardening and reading and blogging. Don't worry, when your boys are older you and hubby can take them on short vacations. For time being I think most parents with young kids have to make sacrifices lah.

    Your noodles though simple is actually quite tasty, no? Eh, no vege? I like having vege in my noodles and I like the hardboiled egg in there too. Ah, are those square things fried taufu? I love taufu in soup. I don't really fancy fishballs but I do eat them.Your soup look reddish. You put tomato sauce?

    You only brush your teeth in the afternoon? hee..hee..I cannot tahan like that. I have to brush my teeth even before I eat breakfast and then I brush one more time.

    It is no pleasure to travel within Malaysia during holidays as the traffic would be scary in highways and the hotel rates might scare me off. Better to travel overseas though slightly more expensive. I won't be going anywhere yet as I am paranoid with flying now. Another 3 planes down over the news.
    There are lots of nice places to bring your kids to in KL! Happy holidays to you and family next week.

      Wah, TM so the early today.. Yep, I know it's not fun at all to travel during festive seasons, but imagine this - I (think) I'll be staying at home from Saturday-Wednesday! Work starts on Thursday.. Ooohh, by the way, Wednesday is a forced leave, everyone must apply leave, what a drag !!

      Hotels more expensive during holidays? Didn't know that. Air fares, yes. Many would take the last day of school off to fly, very much cheaper as they jack up the prices the minute the holidays start...and one would take a day or two off after school has reopened. Sibu-KL can be from around RM100 to RM400 or more, per person.

    The Joys of Parenthood. Been there, done that. It may not seem much at the time but when they've grown up and flown the roost, you would think back on these times...and miss them terribly...and wish you could turn back the clock.

    Sad but the fact is children don't stick around and stay with their parents anymore - some do not even bother to come and visit, always busy with this and that. When that time comes, you will be grumbling that you have so much time but you have nothing to do...and you feel so so so alone and lonely - especially when while the kids are growing up, you break all ties with your friends and grow apart, not close anymore.

      Very very agree on everything you say.. Yeah we break ties with friends, and we don't go for gatherings anymore coz we have to take care of the kids and its not convenient to go out.. Very true indeed.. At times I wish they grow up faster, especially when they are sick and all.. But at times I wish they don't grow up so fast, haha.. Life..

    I learned after I had Cass that babies and toddlers do not like their toys. They like what we adults use! So for Cass, I hardly bought her toys. I gave her my old handphones, the pots, pans and kitchen accessories and she loved them all, but only for a few days. Then I kept those things and brought out 'new' stuff from my drawers and then the process went on. :D
