Use Your Heart

Was at shichida with Justin and there was this section where there are 3 cards, you turn them over and mix it up. And your gotto to try and locate the special card by guessing. This is to build the confidence for the kid and the intuition of guessing.

So he tried to find , failed. He told me "mami, i found the wrong one".

I said "it's okay. Try again. And maybe you should close your eyes and use your heart to feel the card that you wanna find".

And he said "okay".

He closed his eyes, and put his hand on the middle card.

He flipped it and it was the right card.

He was super happy and excited.

And he said he wanna do it again.

So I mixed the cards up, and he closed his eyes and found the card again.

I was kinda emo that day because I was in doubt over some matter and couldn't decide. And then I told myself, just follow my heart and decide. So I said the same thing to Justin and he did it. And guess what, I followed my heart and I was right too.

And after I did that, I overheard the parents next to us whispered to the kid "You cannot find ah? Nevermind you close your eyes and use your heart to feel okay?"

haha

Sasha Cook: Lemon Coke Chicken Wings

I suck at cooking.

Seriously.

No Joke.

So I told myself, no more cooking the same crap everyday. I need to explore more recipes and make dinner more enjoyable and not just merely making my kids full.

So I went to google google and I stumbled across a recipe, Lemon Coke Chicken Wing. But I didn't save the recipe.

And then I went to the wet market and stood like an idiot in front of the chicken seller and she asked "yes? nak apa?" I just pointed at the chicken wing and bought 5 chicken wings home. Totally forgotten what the recipe ingredients are, I just simply hantam the recipe.

I marinated the chicken with lemon juice , pepper and also some grated lemon for about half a day in the fridge.

Then I pan fried the wings till its cooked and then I poured in some coke (of course), some brown sugar and some soya sauce. Let it simmer and the sugar and coke will caramelised into thick sauce. oh la la...

Jayden said "mami, this chicken taste like coke and lemon" and ate 3 drumlets. The tiny one had 2 I think. I , myself like it. I asked my hub he said "okay ler....". Okay so here goes something new for myself. Now, I gotto go and think of what to cook next. tata

Pull Along Basket/trolley with chair

Now that Govt implemented that Saturday is a non-plastic day, I can see many people started bring mini trolleys and pull along basket out to shop. That day we're in Metrojaya, looking for a pepper cracker and then Justin was complaining that he was so tired. Then I saw a chair not far from where we're standing so I just put him on the chair. Then only I realised that it was actually a pull along basket with a chair.

So cool right? If not mistaken its about Rm69.90. Look at the stoned face, dead tired and mom is not going home yet. Now we know what is the chair for. haha

Got Bitten By A Wolf

The Big Bad Wolf that is.

All these (plus a few more of daddy's collection in the toilet) costs us Rm114.

We brought the 2 of them along. They had fun walking up the hill, sitting at one corner, fighting over the same book then both let go of the same book, and then the last bit was the bus ride to the carpark. But the best part was when I met with my blog reader *wave wave - you know who you are :) *, she called out their names and they got a shock. Even I got a shocked cos I never thought that I still have readers although I blog less and hop less too now. Anyway thanks for your support and encouragement.

When I saw this book, immediately I took it. So suitable for my kids. Mess Monsters. Thats what they are. That night, I turned off the lights and used a small reading lamp and read to them. I read it really slow... with a very scarry voice and by the end of the page, Justin asked me immediately accompanied him clean his playroom. *lol* I'm a terrible mother, I know! Anyway if you like to read, the BBW is the right place to go. Buy and keep for Christmas, Birthdays or whatever cos it is really cheap.
