Day Off with Baby Boy

Took the day off yesterday cos my mum had to take care of her baby boy (HAHA) so I took care of mine :) It was the first time we sent him to school. We went to work cos I had to settle some slides even though I was on leave, and later I fetched him from school.


Junior was so bubbly and happy :) Love seeing him so carefree and enjoying life. After I settled work stuff, we took the public transport like he has longed wanted, so it was the bus and train!


Junior entertained mama's selfies hahahaha :)

We stopped by the Lego shop too to get more parts for his building Lego collection.


Waiting for the train to come! And yes I got the reserved seat woohoo!

By the time we reached our MRT stop, he was tired so we too a taxi home instead of another bus. He too said he was tired. Aww my poor little boy. Almost fell asleep in the taxi.

But once he reached home, he has a sudden release of energy and was off singing and talking again. We did his Lego set, sooo difficult to get his attention to find the pieces that I need!! Have to work on his concentration skills.


Totally awesome Lego set don't you think!! Only $28. Haha. My brother says my son is spoilt.

Later we baked a batch of butter almond cake with chocolate chips (half recipe, i.e. 113g butter only) because my little baker wanted to bake for abah :) As usual, he took out the butter, wooden ladle, sift and chocolate chips as a way of forcing me to bake. Since I love crusts for my cakes, I used my mini loaf pan and got 5 loaves. Not too much, not too little.

He's now very much into singing, though most songs I don't really know. But he can follow the e-i-e-i-o part of Old McDonald, and we feel so relived to hear him speak. He does speak but it's not clear, but me being his parent, it's totally cute. Had a really good time with my boy yesterday, wish I could do it more often and with The Husband around too. Simple things yet so much fun.

Oh! Bill is in since we've used the dryer. Seems like the bill didn't change much! That's really good to know. I've also bought for the family essential oils and a diffuser to hopefully get our health better through natural remedies. It's very expensive though, but good things don't come cheap.

Daiso Ramekins

Finally finally went to Daiso!! Wanted to go there for ages already! The first thing I came in, went to the cooking section. Found my ramekins! But they're not white. Oh wells. Can't be choosy for $2 ramekins! There were white ones, but super small white ramekins. And pie tarts too! Oooh so tempting! But I don't know when I'll make tarts hurhur. Actually I'm still thinking what I should bake using these ramekins. I remember having one of those "I wish I had ramekins right now" moments but I can't remember when. Maybe when I was making lava cake . Daiso is evil. It's so cheap you just feel like coming back again! Oh and did I mention there's a $2 weighing scale?! Measures up to a kilo but that's quite alright for baking isn't it! I mean, $2!! Dirt cheap lah. Not sure about the accuracy though. Didn't do much cleaning last weekend, very much spent lazing around at home just like what weekends should be like. I love being at ho...

Apam Balik

I love apam balik. The soft one, with lots of corn. So when @khairulaming posted this on his instagram, I bookmarked it. The recipe is not too much until you get sick of eating apam balik, but I do feel it needs some tweaks to get the pancake king version. But not bad for a first try. 2 cups flour 1/2 cup sugar 1 tsp baking powder 1/2 tsp baking soda 2 tbsp melted butter 1 1/4 cups water 1 egg Additional butter for the pan I do feel it needs some salt, more sugar and I shouldn't have liberally made it so thick HAHA. The pan is important too, I kinda burnt some parts of the pancake. Got them bubbles!! This recipe made 2 large pancakes. Also, the filling needs to be sprinkled with sugar liberally (read: 3 tbsp or so), my first try wasn't enough. Pancake was soft even for the next few days after that (kept in the fridge then reheated in the microwave). Husband found it to be acceptable, but I was kinda not okay with it but ohwells. I can tweak it ...

Junior's Development

Nothing on food today. I wanna talk about Junior. He's growing so fast. In a few weeks' time, he'll turn 18 months. He's grown so much, so tall. Junior pretty much understands most of the things we say to him cos he knows when to shake his head if he doesn't want something. But he hasn't learnt to talk yet. I am kinda worried about that, but then Husband didn't talk till after two and that didn't stop him from being a debater. I'm trying to console myself by saying maybe he's a little late, that's all. Not like he has some deficiency or something. Junior keeps changing his preferences. Like now he likes panda bears (he loved Kungfu Panda on okto yesterday!), he doesn't want to solat but he aminkan doa . Things that aren't seasonal are his love for fruits, climbing, biting me (yes, it's been going on for the longest time), and the most sweetest thing, helping out with housework. He will pull the laundry basket out of our room a...
