Home cooked dinner

I cook once in a blue moon, Haha... Not bcoz i cannot cook, is bcoz lazy to cook.

Last wkend, decided to whip up a meal for ourselves... Went to supermarket alone to buy simple food while hubby helped with e boys at home.

Hubby said dun cook so much, so i only bought a few, n this time dinner, i did away with e greens n soup.


Hubby liked e fish that i steamed, well, small sized fish need ard 7-8min of steaming. N i changed to the biggest steamer, a present from my mummy! Haha.

Jaden loves luncheon meat, so i cut a few slices n pan fried it. steamed egg for them too. Hubby appreciated my cooking n will wash dishes after meals.

I dun really cook TAT WELL like a chef, but at least i can whip up a complete meal. Simple dishes still ok for me, n actually i do like cooking, partly bcoz hubby likes my cooking.

Though it is v common for all of us to eat out, n actually cooking takes time n cleaning up takes time too. But no matter wat, wives shld still learn n koe how to whip up a meal for hubby. Hubby can say he dun mind his wife not cooking, but if u whip up a meal n impress him, he will look at u in a different angle, finding us good that we give him another kind of different impression. He will b happy tat his partner actually can cook a meal to fill his stomach, tat kind of love is great. To b frank, men actually appreciate women who can cook for them. Tats y there is always a saying that, women shld cook to secure a man's stomach. But of course not all women who can cook can make her man's heart stay lah. What i mean is, i am sure hubby will b happy to see his wife cooking for him personally. Anything can oso rely on others, but e heart to cook for partner cannot.

Women, no matter how great u r, how pretty u r, how capable u r, how sensible u r, also must koe how to cook. Maggie mee not counted hoh thank u. Tat 1 whoever oso can cook. If u cook for your kids, they koe i am sure they will b v happy. Sometimes getting into e kitchen personally to cook for your loved ones is something happy. I dun cook everyday, but at least i can cook, n i will cook. Whip up a complete meal all  by yrself 1 day n impress your man. I am sure he will appreciate it. Spend some effort in preparing a proper meal, n u will feel good, really, trust me.

weekly exercise

2014, the year tat i started to exercise again... well, actually i try to make it a point to exercise once a week, be it swimming or jogging, or playing of badminton...

Last week, went jogging with my sis from home to NTU... wow, ard 4km... it was really tiring i can say. It has been YEARS tat i actually moved my butt to start exercising.

My sis bought me a new pair of running shorts! Blue colour! I like it v much n it fitted me just right. Now, i have 3 pairs of running shorts. I have 4 sets of swim wear too. Haha. 2 pairs of swimming goggles. 1 set is for normal swim. the other pair is have degrees one. If i wear lens, i would use e normal set. if not wearing lenses, which means i cannot see clearly, i would use the goggles with my degrees.

I koe once a week is not enough for good health, but at least i started. Better than nothing. I will try to continue to do it once a week. N i am enjoying it in fact. Haha...

Dinner date with pals at Southwest Tavern 13-02-14

Actually wana go eat dinner b4 my bday, but somehow we postponed it... N we agreed to meet b4 V day!

It is always great to meet up with friends, n have a meal, chat n chill, laugh together.

It's full attendance for this grp of pals again this time! Haha... I have another date with my other gang of PHPPS grp soon a few weeks later. Looking forward to it.

Well, i do have many diff grps of friends, or shld say diff gang. Haha. Friends r v impt to me, really. Even if change job, have family or watever, friends are always needed in human. 

Sometimes i do wonder, y some ppl have so few friends. We shouldnt isolate ourselves to family, or to that particular grp of frds. We must have diff grp of friends. Well, mayb some ppl are just so fake, that no many real friends in their life. Or, some ppl just dun have tat kind of popularity. We must  have diff patterns of frds, but definitely not fake ones. There r many fake ppl on earth, and i need to stress on this point that i felt fortunate. I have many good n real friends in my life. Isolate, have, i do isolate too. Just tat i isolate those fake hypocrites in my life, i practically kicked them out of my circle.

Luckily such ppl did not taint my life. I am so lucky to have many good friends surrounding me, not using me, not harming me. We had a great time eating, n catching up. 

We must keep in touch, coz frdship is v impt. Dear all, if u had not been meeting up with your gd friends, pls do quickly plan 1.

写给可可的一封信

快乐以及不快乐,往往只是一线之间。一方面,其实应该为可可感到开心,因为它已经远离苦海,远离病痛,向往它的自由,无忧无虑的日子。它在我们家庭已经仁至义尽,因为放手让它自由。但另一方面,我们都很悲痛,伤心,因为它不会再出现在我们眼前。看到它一天一天瘦弱下去,还要以一个老人家的身子去动手术,的确是辛苦它了。

人,往往很难取得平衡。我宁愿自己是个乐观的人,生活也会因此更快乐,但是可惜我不是。我一直往坏的方面想,所以只要一想到可可,我就觉得很难过。

当然,别人会说,它老了,这样对它比较好。我也知道,我又不是智障。但是不舍得,你懂什么是不舍得吗?一个家人,和你朝夕相对了11年的同伴,你说放就放吗?说的容易!当然,这种情感,不是每个人会体谅。毕竟,每个人对待生活的态度都不一样。

可可从来没有离开过家里超过1天的时间,这次是第一次。星期一就不在家里,今天是星期三了,已经是2天的时间了。可可,你会怕吗?不怕不怕,明天姐姐,大姐姐,哥哥都会去接你回来。你不会再离开我们了,你会永远和我们一家在一起。虽然已看不到你的身影,但我知道,你的心还是向着我们的。明天你就会回家了,不要乱跑,等我们来,知道吗?

对你,我是充满愧疚的。未能亲手送你一程,所以明天必定亲自来接你回家。我们一家都很想念你,会怀念你。这2天没有看到我们,你会想我们吗?不要紧,明天回来后你就会像往常一样,在家里住。虽然姐姐不是每天都过来,但心里都会有你。你不要怪姐姐好吗?你要知道,我还是很爱你的。

我知道我很坏,没有时常来陪你。我知道错了,你可以原谅姐姐吗?想你的心从来没有停过,但我知道日子要照过,我也知道你也不想我们一直伤心下去。但请你容许我们在夜深人静时,想一想你,哭一下,发泄一下,好吗?我知道你现在应该很快活,远离病痛的你终于脱离苦海了,但你心里一定还是放不下我们,对吗?你要答应我们,在极乐世界里一定要快乐。要学会保护自己,有什么不对劲的,记得告诉仙女姐姐们,让她们来帮你。可是,我坚信,你这么可爱,这么讨人喜欢,不会有别人想算计你,害你。你此时的生活是自由的,逍遥的。

你耐心等待,再过几个小时,我们就来接你了,高兴吧?哥哥特地请来半天假来载你。我们欢迎你回来。只不过内心很挣扎,希望回来的是你整个“人”,而不是骨灰。但我还认得现实,你的确是离开了我们,只不过是自己不愿接受现实。你放心,我们大家会为了你更好地活下去,让你不用担心我们。明天见,可可。

Coko Chin 24 April 2002- 03 Feb 2014

Coko, wish u r painless n happier at e other side of e earth.

A puppy when he arrived in our house, only a 2mth old Shih Tzu. Tat time he haven't even learn how to walk. I still remembered he would slide n fall when he was in our house. It was only when he's slightly older n more playful then he was able to run n even jump up to e sofa. He was so cute! He dun anihow bite or bark. He dun anihow lick people like other dogs. A very tamed dog by nature. A pure breed of Shih Tzu with pedigree.

He spent his whole life here in our house, a great companion. He's always in e house. It's somehow strange to reach my parents' house n yet not see him. He was still alive when we were here yesterday but from today onwards, we will not get to see him again. Jaden was still disturbing him yesterday!

He has seen us through our dating periods, me getting married, me getting pregnant, bro getting married. But a pity he cannot survive through his 12nd year of life. Just 2 more months, n he really had to go n we all had no choice but to give up n let him go. We had to spare a thought for him I know. He is suffering n in pain, we cannot keep him forever. 

He came to us as a great gift in 2002, n left us today on 3rd Feb 2014. As an 11-year-old dog, he is considered long life as a small sized dog. He has never been sick. Can u believe it? His only burden is his skin problem that had been bothering him. When he had his op to remove e bad tumor, I tot he can survive through this ordeal, but still, he cannot pull through. He is old n cannot fight e virus anymore. He needs to go. 

I felt v upset bcoz I wasn't there to see him e last time. He was put to sleep this morning ard 4am. Sis said it was a fast 1 n he left in peace. No pain no nothing. I didn't even have the opportunity to say goodbye to him. I didnt even have e chance to stroke him n say how much I love him too. 

天上的仙女姐姐,请你们多多照顾可可。它是一个单纯的小狗。它的世界里,就只有我们一家人。它的这个旅程只有它自己一个。它会迷路,会彷徨。请你们多费心,特别看着它,保护它。它这一生除了我们,就没有其它朋友了。请你们务必帮它找几个好朋友陪它玩耍,陪它度过在另一个世界的时间。不要让其它的狗欺负它,因为它是真的很乖。若不是因为它老了,辛苦了,顶不下了,我们都不会舍得把它交给你们。请您帮我们照顾它,守护它,爱护它。请你们每天记得给它吃它最爱的水果木瓜。

I know small breeds like them dun live tat long. I read b4. Breed like Coko can only live longest til 14yrs old. He has always been healthy. He doesn't eat human food. At most plain bread n papaya. Y can't he survive til e maximum? It's all bcoz of e tumour. It's killing him. I really cannot bear to let him go. All of us r just as heart ache. We need to face e reality. He needs to go n he has left. He will always stay in our heart. We had decided to keep his tablet at home so tat we can see him n talk to him at home. N I'm sure he would want to b at home too n not with e other dogs. Would need to wait for e clinic to call n inform us of e collection of his tablet.

Rest well Coko. U r free from pain n suffering. U r now happy I am sure. Will u miss me, miss all of us? Pls listen to e angels ok? Do not wonder off by yrself. Pls watch over us. We will always remember u.. we will not forget u so pls do not forget us too ok? Although u had left us physically but u r always in our mind our hearts. Our hse door is always open for u. Pls come visit us when u can but make sure u follow e angels' instructions ok?  Your stuff is still ard... u can smell it n come back. We will b waiting for u. Jie jie is leaving for msia on Sat night. But I will keep u in my mind ok? I miss u Coko. Pls take care of yrself ok? Jiejie n big jiejie r not around to protect u animore. Pls b a happier dog there ok? We all love u. We do n always do.
