eventful week of 5-11 Dec
what an eventful week...wrapped up 5 orders this week, which is a big load for me considering the girls r on school holiday and I take care of them alone when D's at work. Thank heavens my sis Surifah Tweevran was able to help me babysit the girls n cook some meals when her schedule allowed it...super big help. On a sad note, my uncle Wak Man took his last breath yesterday...he was our non-judgemental, funny unique uncle who always bought us sweets n snacks when we were little kids...will miss him n wish him in a better place :(

happy 3rd birthday Shirin & others!
cutting cake with family & siblings on 6.8.11
sisters hugging mode on 7.8.11
wearing red & white for s'pore national school celebrations at school on 8.8.11arrgh! just realised my last post was in end May. that means we have been settling down at new place for 2 months now...i'm always on facebook & thus have been ignoring this blog of mine. sorry if i have been keeping u waiting so loooong!
so shirin has turned 3 two days ago, 6.8.08. she's had her share of five cakes (3x celebrations, first celebration had 3 cakes as i needed 2.5kg cake....2x1kg cake & 1x500g cake!!) they were store bought as i was too busy to bake my own daughter's cake!!! also, now we are in the 8th day of fasting month....busy with handling matters at home w/o anymore maid in tow...kids sleeping later, we have more housework to do & house is never completely clean (too tired & not enough time!!) & i'm still taking baking orders here & there when i can spare the time. D has been a good help...ironing clothes, washing dishes...doing laundry..helping with anisha's weekly homework (this takes up quite a lot of time in the weekends)....yeah...so just trying to keep things together & stay sane in this crazy family of ours, hehe! ;)

settling in slowly but surely....
we moved to our new place on Monday 16th May.
we've had a few mishaps since moving in the new place: on Tues 17th May, shirin got quite sick & we had to send her to A&E KK hospital since it was a public holiday (Vesak Day) & all the clinics were closed. she had a mild bout of pneumonia but luckily there it was not neccesary to admit her. this had happened 4 days after mom's passing & the day after we moved to new place. that same day, Is had sprained her right foot when she had walked too fast & stumbled in a pothole on the way to the provision shop! i only knew abt it when i noticed she was limping while walking! she didn't tell me (typical of Is style). later that night Mimi helped D send Is to the KTP A&E hospital to check her foot. thankfully it wasn't fractured or broken & it healed soon after after an injection & few rounds of painkillers + anti-swelling medicine. that same day, we had mom's 3rd day passing religious gathering so shirin went to hosp before the gathering & Is went after. aya & D got sick too...i had to send aya to baby bear & she got similar prescription like shirin & D managed to get 1 day MC...as for me i had to battle the virus best i could by taking paracetamol & my telfast....for that first few days & nights at the new house i had to be strong....to take care of the kids since my helper Is was down & D was overcome with his cold.
this is the second week at the new place. thanks to Mimi, Ipah & Seri's help, we managed to unpack about 90% of our boxes. we still have some things left in the storeroom of the old place...but we don't have to rush as Mimi won't be selling his place yet.
thank you for the condolences you've given us. we are slowly coping with the loss of our beloved mother....last saturday 21st May, we had another religious gathering to offer prayers for mom's 7th day passing. it was a good closure for me to be with close family members & it felt good that i was able to help with packing of the food etc.
p.s. abt the new place, there are still touch ups to be done. and i still haven't started baking yet. will jumpstart in June: i already have a few pending orders.
pp.s on a good note, the girls are in love with the swimming pool because it has this big yellow slide & the kids pool is shallow enough for them to splash around in.
ppps. everyone is on the road to recovery (touch wood) from their coughs, colds & sprains. hopefully.

goodbye to our beloved mum (14.5.11, 07:31).....
i remember how super talented she was: she was a great cook -she cooked all the food all by herself for her nasi padang stall her whole adult life & also cooked amazing food for the family (she made the most wicked Assam Pedas!!!!) that was how she supported her children all by herself.....she made crafts like flowers......yummy desserts...(i feel blessed to have a smidgen of her talent). she always had an easy friendly smile for everyone. she never went to school but she was always clever in her own way-she had a good business mind-good with numbers!!. good with the chinese dialects also-she picked them up fast!! she never gave up supporting us even when the going got tough. it must have been an unbelievable weight on her shoulders for her, a super huge burden but she's not one to complain but instead to WORK ON IT & get on with it, to MAKE IT WORK. i really admire her humility, perseverance & strength. she's a SUPERWOMAN WITH A BIG HEART in my eyes. Goodbye mom, rest well. you are amazingly loved & appreciated & we'll miss your sweet sincere smiles & warmth.....ILYSM :_(
Mum with her granddaughter Shirin, who never failed to bring a smile to her face with her antics...
