3-D week

Channel 4 lauched this week as 3-D week and was showing some shows in 3D. So we had some glasses so we could enjoy some 3 dimensional entertainment. It was ok… I guess if the TV was bigger we might be able to appreciate it more. But guess who enjoyed it most…. 

Well, the little man did not watch much of the 3D shows but he just likes playing with the glasses…

muffins again!!

Same story as last week, Kev’s at work again this time working nights!!!

So here goes…chocolate muffins with a cream cheese filling.

Altho’ I mentioned cream cheese filling, you can’t really taste the cream cheese, not a disappointment tho’ as it tasted really really good. It’s virtually fat free…apart from the cream cheese (but I used the LIGHT version). No milk, no oil (if replace with apple sauce), no butter…. I repeat highly recommended.

Eeeeerrrrmmm, I did frost some with chocolate icing tho’ as it was too good to be true hehehe…

1st layer

cream cheese mix layer and then another layer of chocolate

taaaa daaaa!! Done

creamed!!!

My Popo Kota Belud

Yes thats what me and my sis use to call my mother’s mum… popo Kota Belud. I guess it was because she was from Kota Belud. My popo KB is with the Lord now and its been about 14 years. That was a long time ago and yet at times I still think of her.  

She was a real character :) When we were younger we would get really excited when my popo KB comes to visit. We know she’ll always bring goodies (food) to Tenom everytime she visits. I remember eating lots of kuihs, I especially remember eating some round kuihs brown in colour sweet, tasted like gula melaka…

She would then bring us (me and my sis) to the coffee shops and we could order whatever we wanted and if we asked she would buy anything for us. We would have the luxury to drink cola and eat keropok (by the way not to my mother’s knowledge as we were never allowed junk food when we were kids). Popo KB would give us 50cents each and we would walk round the shops with money in hand to buy whatever we fancy. I remember once me and my sis really fancied some pop pop guns. Its a small plastic gun where you have to put a roll of red paper with black dots on and everytime you pull the trigger it would make a pop sound and sometimes smoke will come out of the gun. So when popo KB took us out, we asked if we could have one and of course she bought it for us hehehehe. We would then play with our new toys and eat our keropok while popo KB chats with her friends. Aaaaaaah those were the good old days.

Oh and popo KB likes to hug and kiss kiss, I remember she’ll come over give me a great big hug and a wet wet kiss on the cheeks which I’ll wipe off quickly after. 

When I got older, I stayed with her in KK. She enjoys cooking for us and every morning she’ll make us breakfast, sometimes fried eggs, sometimes fried mee, fried mee hoon there’s always something to eat. If you ever mention you like something… she’ll cook it everyday or she’ll buy loads of whatever you fancy. Yes thats my popo KB.

I did say she’s a character didn’t I… well my popo KB swears *smile smile* Yes and she’ll say things like ‘tan ta lao’ *lol* and other obscene stuff. She pronounces library as ‘bibary’ or vacuum (for vacuum cleaner) as ‘cofuum’. She likes to shout too, my oh my she can shout… She’ll stand by the door and shout for me to come home if I’m at my friend’s house 3 blocks away and yes I can hear her ‘Liiiiiiiiiiiiissaaaaaaa sit fan loooooh’. hahaha

Oh thats my popo Kota Belud…..

The 5 senses

Ever since Dylan was born I realised that I’ve improved tremendously in all my senses… Let me explain, 5 senses hear, sight, touch, taste and smell.

Hear- Always on high alert listening for sounds of crying or movement. I found that I’m really good at it, I would be  watching TV with Kev and all of a sudden he’ll see me running up the flight of stairs to the rescue!! Or I would be listening out on what sounds he make in the living room from the kitchen and I would know exactly what he’s doing…like having a mental CCTV hehehehe

Sight- Always on the look out on what the little master is doing!! Sometimes I feel as if I have eyes on my back as I can tell what he’s up to with my back facing him. I can see in the dark through a tiny crack and be able to see if the young man is sound asleep.

Taste- Always tasting milk to determine if its stale…and taste testing every single food before it goes through the master’s mouth.

Touch- I’ve mastered the skill of leaving a room in complete silence, I even know which steps on the staircase to avoid to prevent creaking noises. 

Smell- Always on high alert on ‘strange’ smells, usually means someone’s done a poo!!

Well folks… these are SOME of the side effects of owning a baby!!
