Chores & Gathering

Just woke up around noon time. Almost couldn’t wake up but my phone messages were beeping non stop. I dreaded it might be a work phone call from boss. Prayed that wasn’t. Prayers answered.

Cousin sis is in Sydney right now and said she has bought ham and cheese. Told me to get my ass up and be ready to bake her some ham and cheese rolls tomorrow. What a glutton!

This is how a pile of laundry to fold just for one day in a household of 7 adults and 2 children. Endless chores.

I started the day late at noon. Ate breakfast/lunch in record time. Pop my hypertension pills and fish oil and started house chores.

In almost 3 hours, I managed to sweep and mop the floor upstairs and downstairs. Sweep 1x mop 2x. Followed by mopping with floor sheet wiper to get all the falling hair.

Word of advice. If you shed a lot of hair, it’s best to have this brown colored tiles. You couldn’t see the dirt on your floor and you can just wipe the hair off weekly instead of everyday!

Put another basket of laundry of baby’s clothes into the washing machine while mopping floor. In 30 minutes, dry the clothes. Ate second time lunch and now head off to shower.

I better not watch movies till wee hours in the morning to avoid waking up at noon tomorrow!

This little piglet went home for the long weekend liao. Her mom and dad had the Raya holidays off till Sunday so decided to take her home. Good luck! Not easy to take care of this boisterous baby. Was betting with my mom the parents probably will send her back tonight. Lol.

Mom said at least will tahan one night la. Ok la. Bet is onnnzzz!

Look at the food spread today! We had a potluck party at Jeff’s. As usual, we over did it. This is for 7 people. I brought my favorite.. the minced meatballs with potatoes and carrots.

There! Closed up of the meatballs.. or rather meat patties with potatoes and carrots. It taste better if it’s pork. But our birthday girl doesn’t like pork so my mom used minced chicken breast meat.

Lau Heong dishes will not be complete without the curry stingray. Hence, Alex over ordered this.. with extra tau pok.

Delicious kuah kacang. For a moment I thought it’s a yellow guacamole. Ha ha

Raya won’t be complete without lemang and acar buah.

It was a good makan day!

Note: I won the bet. Little piglet came home at 9 pm because she cried her eye balls out. Ha ha ha.
