Weekend. Food.


We didn’t do much this long weekend. Just stay home and rest, eat, and play. We went home to see mom in P.Klang, I made her two bracelets for mother’s day. She was very happy. Bb had great time with his cousins after such long time. He even said he doesn’t want to go home. *shake head*.

Later we stopped by at this “Ba-Kut-Teh” near the old Rex cinema in Port Klang. It was okay la to me but hubby loves this particular shop. The owner’s name is “Ah Chai”. His shop does not have a signboard, Hah! So no name. What is special about his Ba-Kut-Teh is he has added dry fried sotong (calamari) inside the soup; it makes the soup smell and taste good. However, I think he has added a wee bit too much of Ajinomoto. Bb was there with us for the first time. Usually we leave him with mom but this time round, he wanted to come along. I grabbed some “Kaya Kok” beside the Ba-Kut-Teh shop. Just love it; the skin is so crispy and fragrant. Bb had a few bites too during teatime with me at home.

For dinner, I cooked some Spaghetti in Olive Oil, garlic and dry chilies at home. Daddy loves it but he cannot really take spicy, so I have to reduce the chilies portion.

Meanwhile bb had his porridge I cooked earlier for him. Later, hubby and me played parachutes (Flipping the blanket up and down and let him catch) and read two of his favourite books before urging him to sleep. He had been a good boy.

Dinner. Stranger.

LAST NIGHT was MIL’s birthday. We went for a simple dinner at Mt. Kiara, a Taiwanese restaurant. Bb was excited to be out as usual, trying to show off how to operate his Bob the Builder’s bottle to uncle Jo, Bil. He has been sipping water from that bottle ever since daddy purchased it, which is good, no more bottles in public. He also created rapport with waiter and waitresses there. There was a fat uncle got so fond of him and present-ed him a chopstick holder. (Like that also can. Hah!) Bb showed it to me, it was in the shape of a Japanese koi fish. I told him to return it to uncle, Sri told me he returned but uncle insisted he kept it. UR! Okay! “Well, then you can keep it” I told him. Later, he came to me telling he was scared. I asked him why, he told me the BIG BIG uncle scary. Actually according to Sri, that uncle wanted to carry him, he got scared. Mil told me this - Once a stranger offer to carry bb, he wanted to go with stranger, mil threatened him that if he goes, he will ne

Update

Gosh! He is still crying after 2 weeks. I spoke to my sister a couple of days ago telling her my concern over bb’s behaviour. When ask by daddy or mil whether he cries in school; bb’s answer is always “NO! I never cry”, uttered with confidence. In fact, he cries furiously when I drop him to school daily. His excuses before leaving with the teacher are either, “I want to go back or I want mommy or I want my kakak…”. Sis told me to boil an egg and keep it in his school bag; he will be okay in 2 weeks. Err…I have no idea why, it was a myth she heard from elder woman to soothes kids from crying to school. Has anyone heard of this tale before? Does it work was my immediate question to her. Well obviously, she said it worked for her 3rd child. I am very doubtful la but still I asked Sri to boiled one this morning for bb to bring to school. I am keeping my fingers cross. *counting- 1,2 3, 4, 5….eggs need to be boiled b4 he stops crying, wah, who is gonna eat those eggs???* Of late, I have bee
