Say it and Mean it.

Remember the incident that Jayden refused to put on his socks and I ended up being very upset with him and he was very upset too cos I left him in his principle office without any shoes on? (i brought his socks and shoes and left it there with him). I told him to put it on or I'll leave him in his principle office without any shoes. So he tested me and I meant what I said and I did it.

So this morning it happened again.

Jd: Mami. i dunno how to wear my socks.

Me: Baby you can do it. Just put it on like how you do it every morning.

Jd: But my eye is painful

Me: eh do you use your eyes to put on yr socks or you use your hands?

Jd: But my hand painful....

Me: Painful? then how come you can hold your Thomas?

Jd: ...i cannot do it.

Me: okay.. no problem. Later I'll bring you without any shoes and leave you in Teacher H's office and I'll ask her to put it on like that day... remember?

Jd: *total silence*

Me: baby?

Jd: Yes?

Me: So how? Can wear your socks now?

Jd: I put my socks and my shoes on edi.

Me: Good.

Jayden what can you draw?

Are you still designing?

Yeah, sometimes. But lately I really have no mood to draw at all. Cos I am so busy with my sewing monster and also the time spent on designing is really too long for one project and I need to do so many research for it and still people think "not from template wan ah?"

Anyway, I am still doing it realllllllyyy sloowwwwwwly. Only when I am taking a break from sewing then I will stare at my Mac and draw. Recently I have finished 2 projects. First, was a brochure for My Cheeky Boo.

Bonnie's a great customer to work with and purple is one of my fav colour. So its much easier for me to work on her brochure. Check out her site now cos she is having some same going on there!

The next one was the follow up from my Poot Poot Car Header. Shir Lin finally found the pic that she like and send it over to me. My duty was to basically chop the head, crop it nicely and animate it. Voila!



Shir Lin is also a great customer to work with and since it's my as-it-is header, It's much easier to work with :)


Thanks y'all for your support and your trust in my work. But I think I should take a break from designing and wait until Mr.Lingkum (inspiration) to come along then I'll zap my mouse out and start drawing again :)

What I have been doing lately

Been sewing like mad to fulfill orders.....

very tiring, eyes very blur,

^_^

but loving every moment of it.

Lazy Mum's way to cook porridge using rice cooker

My Part Time maid come every wednesday. By 1 hour time after she leave my house, the upper living room already look like tornado came and left. The next day, all the rooms also will be messy. And 3rd day the living room downstairs and the kitchen is all messy. How come I never clean eh ? I clean Fridays and also on Mondays. Fridays is not that bad but Monday is disaster day. Cos I have 3 guys to mess the entire house during weekend O.O

So most of the time, I won't be on on Mondays. I'll be busy from 7.15 am until 2pm. By then I gotto catch up on my work.

I still cook lunch for my kids and  Mondays are usually porridge day cos I cook it this way.

I double boil my porridge together with their snack in the rice cooker. Why double boil?
1: my rice cooker doesn't have the cook porridge function
2. the water will boil and it flows out and its everywhere. Porridge water is very hard to clean....
3. the cover will be filled with the rice and its very hard to clean
4. I'm lazy to wait for it to boil and then open the cover for the porridge to cook.

So how to cook the porridge using a rice cooker?
step 1: You place whatever ingredient you want in your porridge (mine is the peanut, corn and siu yoke porridge) into a big bowl
step 2: you add rice with enough water to cook porridge
Tips: you can even use left over rice to cook porridge. My aunt who live in NZ told me she used to freeze left over rice and then use it to cook porridge.
step 3: add salt or leave it bland for lil babies
step4: fill yr rice cooker with some water. How much water? double of your "water level for cooking rice"
Step 5: cover and go n do your own stuff. The rice cooker will set to warm mode once the water is gone. By then your porridge is done.

There, this is how a busy lazy mum's way to cook porridge.
