DOing the HULA

My mama is super amazing!
She can cook,she can sew, she is knowledgeable about everything and she certainly can HULA!

She likes to do the hula hoops whilst watching her favourite cooking channels on AFC.
Notice that she has bound 2 rotan hulas together...and that may i add is very very heavy to twirl!

mum can do it more than a few hundred times at one go....and if she concentrates hard enough about 25 minutes!

I am very proud to say I can do two! haha! the rotan hula is darn heavy.

Goodness gracious n Chap Goh Meh

Just as we despair over the troubles at the Gaza strip, the hopelessness felt in the razing fire at Victoria, the animosity around the world,
floods n droughts n loss of jobs n securities, and just this morning I had to come across some rude n in considerate people at the gym,
a Malay patient Sofiah turned up at my clinic yesterday afternoon n gave me a fruit cake.
" Hope you have a good CHinese New Year, doctor."
that simple gesture absolutely blew me away..and totally made the day for me.
there is a HOPE in this world!
yo! PEACE!

after work, I made use of a birthday voucher for a body massage.
it was bliss....except my body was super tired this morning as the lady gave me a deep tissue massage.
I realised i had quite a few kinks n knots in quite a few places. HA!
anyway, the muscles feel better now.

Lat nite ,Denise n Jayden came for Chap Goh Meh dinner.
Jayden wore his new rugby outfit...somehow i think he looks more of a boxer.

Mum spent the whole afternoon preparing dinner....but all of us were still ill from the weekend's food poisoning.
loss of appetite is a rarity in our household, but that was what we felt last night.
The fish ball soup somehow eased the stomach bugs.

Cold weather

Denise bringing cheers to dreary weather.....in fact it has been so cold in KK, I had to sleep without the aircon and wear a cardigan everywhere i go ,to avoid getting sick.
At the clinic, i wear 2 or 3 threeply masks to keep off the germs....patients have been turning up coughing n with blocked nose which is scaring me....i hate getting ill.

I have been cleaning up my bike after every ride....but recently it has taken me extra long minutes because the rain has brought alot of smuck under n all over the machine.
Razani introduced me to the brand Kit . the ones i use are called Car Kit Wash n Car Kit Wash n Polish.
they are good quality washing liquids which cleans off the most stubborn grime.

tomorrow is chap goh meh. which brings the CNY to an end.
it was on the whole a great CNY ,with lots of family gathering with brothers n sisters , and also cousins from Australia.
Speaking of which, Lorraine n I have booked ourselves a holiday trip to Brisbane n Sunshine Coast in March!
Well....not exactly a holiday cos i have a few job interviews in Sunshine Coast.
I am so looking forward to it :)

My mama's bread

Breakfast is my favourite meal of the day... cos we have an in-house bakery!

Mum bakes us fresh wholemeal n raisin bread loaves on alternate days.
I like to cut mine 2 inch slice! tastes alot better when it's thick n chunky.
Dad likes his with peanut butter n honey.
Mum usually favours her raisin bread.
I like both , toasted raisin bread with a dab of butter....or wholemeal with vegemite n flaxseed oil .
