Hao Prep Graduation 2011

Times flies... we been here for almost 1 year.. Hao joined in 2nd term as we arrived on march 2011. And now.... he is graduated from his Prep Year class...Going to be Grade 1 next year...

He enjoyed a lot in the school.... I felt the environment here like more suit him... haha... coz here alot of activities... Visiting Farm (Myuna Farm), park (Enchanted Maze).... etc... is quite fun to study here ... when they learn about police... they arrange a policeman to their class to chat with them... prepare a police badge...real ambulance ....

visiting fire station...when they learn about that..

Here is the video clip i took ... he received his certificate from his principal... I will upload the DVD that prepared by his class teacher on their whole year events... :)

Housewife ...

Had some chit chat with a friend of mine over here... was wondering.. what is the expectation on a husband to his housewife's wife.??

Do they think the wife got PLENTY OF TIMES at home... ?? Shaking legs ...?? Mmm... just some little houseworks need to be done ?? Well.... I guess so....

As for me... early morning... till the minute i sleep... there are always things for me to do... esp with 3 little monsters/angels.. House never get tidy... always got cups to wash, plates to wash... thing to pick up from the floor.. Out of my daily job.... their meals... laundry... bath... Me only can on and off ... catch some 10 or 20 min in between to check mails or have a little chat with my friends over net.. i will be on and off 'disappear' during a chat.. (luckily my friends do understand my situation ..hhaha else will not want to chat with me )... Fetching kid to/from school... getting the kids to take naps... kids school homework... getting them to sleep... phew~~ do we really got times?? Mm... might want the 'husband' to try to exchange the role for a day to experience it...

Might gonna ask my own husband on this then =.=

Coffee and Me

This is my daily booster..:)

Not sure since when... I need a coffee for a day .... Even during my pregnancy..

1st kid : more strict... no coffee at all since pregnant..

2nd kid : mm..on and off 'curi' a bit ...

3rd kid : everyday 1 cup of coffee till my boss warn me whenever he saw me drink coffee "Eh. .. you want yr bb skin like 'kopi-o' ?"

I know is not really good to drink coffee... but I always make it a cup per day, not more than that.... I just cant stop missing the aroma of the coffee... the smells... well... my hubby said 'u addicted!' (always 'ngo' me whenever i drink it) :p

Especially now, a fully time homemaker ... somehow like lost direction in my life... or myself... taking care of 3 kids by myself is really not a easy job...i took it very serious at initial stage... make me so tense, as I want to make my 'job' so efficient... till a point... I know i need a break .. or somehow a balance between me and my 'job' ... I need to have space to breath... Coffee is one of the compliment i can give to myself everyday for the hard 'job'...

Wells... coffee and me... can't be separated...:)

Hao fell down from monkey bar... :(

I received a call from Hao's school office on 2 Nov.. around 11 am +.. Hao's arm hurt AGAIN!! I rushed to the school with my 2 gals.. heading to the office ... and see my poor little boy... sitting on a chair with the red eyes... left arm been hanged by a first-aid scarf over his neck...

According to the teacher, he fell down from monkey bar in school playground.. Bought him to see the Dr in the nearly medical centre, Mariana medical centre.. Xray and i called the father.. Dr asked to go Hospital emergency.. as xray shown clear fracture on his bone, near the left elbow.. Luckily hubby had reached the train station and i just go to fetch him before we go to Dandenong Hospital... If not, i really doubts how i can go by myself with my 3 kids :( (poor thing over here now, no body able to help if anything happen)..

In hospital, registered and waited...Asked to go for another round of xray as Dr concerned on the alignment of the bone position... as the xray previously done in clinic not able to show clearly. Result out ... not a good new... he need to go thru an operation to fix it. called K-wires. Putting 2 pins/wires to 'freeze' the alignement during the recovery... My tears was going to out from my eyes, but i tried so hard to calm down as Hao was looking at me, do not want him to worry... Hubby with 2 dottas waiting outside as the gals make noise.. i told Hao, dr will put him into sleep, as scare might make him feel pains if he not asleep, once he wake up , the arm will be 'fixed' and i will be there always. He is very steady and brave, he just say OK.

Only 1 ppl allowed to go into the operation room... before he put on sleep... there are few ppl in charge, Dr + some assistants.. They are surprised that Hao was so calm and not crying or making any noise...Dr asked me if he went thru any operation before. I said Nope.... He said he so brave and calm... that's my good and brave boy!!

After they put him to sleep, they immediately ask me out and bring me to the children ward... ask us to wait there... and wait for their calls once done.

Is an 1/2 hr operation... and need another 1/2 hr to get him wake up... We were waiting in the children ward play room... 2 of my gals was enjoy playing there... with all the toys, blocks, art works, etc. My hubby get me to get some drinks at the other room.. 1 hr is really hard to pass.. I keep on praying since we reached hosp.. whenever i got time ... Please be with him...and everything go smooth!!

Thanks God. Nurse informed me to go to operation room, he was waking up... Nurse brought me there..and he still unconscious.. Dr said he is waking up... then when i was there, He keep on calling his name, i called him as well, and finally he opened his eyes... phew~~ make me so relief.... Thanks God!

It was 7pm+ He was pushed to his bed in the children ward and i was with him for 1 night in the hospital, sofa bed just beside him.. Next day everything seems good.. and we allow to discharge... and go to hosp for 1st wk chkup...Off to school for 1 wks + and now he is back to school!!

After 1st wk chkup, Dr said everything good, just go back hosp to pull out the wires after 5th week.. Phew~~ there will be another stage that hard for me to pass... I had watched the video from youtube on how the K-wire been pulled out... I dont think i wanna watch that on my son's arm... :(

hailing ...

It's been a long time i did not blog around... kind of down and busy with the kids and .... phew~~ houseworks and the routine life with kids is forever never ending ~

This is the 1st hailing i experienced in my life... it was last month/2 mths ago? cant really remember.. i remembered it was a heavy rain, while i was at home with my 2 daughters .. .suddenly i just hear something noisy... while i watch out from my windows... realised there lots of 'white dots' dropping down from sky.... checking my garden.... all over.. spreading around is like a small round ice stuff.... the size is just like the 'sat ku mai' (cantonese) ...

Well... me and my Qin are so excited.. snapping picture and watching and touching the ices ... :)

澔: 5 yrs 9 month

冲凉时,

Hao 说: "妈, 我选到了..."

妈: "选到了 ??"

Hao : " 我选到我的girl friend 了,prep B 的"

妈吓到: "啊!! 她叫 什麼 名字?"

Hao: "I not sure..."

妈 :　　 not sure？

Hao: "Not sure she is from Prep B or not?"

妈 :　"你知道什麼是girl friend 吗?? 就是你很喜欢她, 很...."

Hao 打断妈妈: '我知道, 我知道 girl friend 是什麼啦...'

妈妈額头冒汗,"是华人还是白人??"

Hao: "华人.."

.....................

妈 :"你今天有看见你的girl friend 吗?"

Hao : "有, 在playground 的monkey bar 那边."

妈 : "华人噢?"

Hao: "哦, 是白人来的, 头发是brown colour 的"

妈 :" 嗄??!!!" 才两天,这孩子是换了girl friend 吗 ????

Finally...

Finally... we considered as 'settled down' now :)

Me and my hubby had passed the driving test ... this is the 2nd attempts of test.. we both failed on the 1st one... a bit unbelievable that... we been driving for so many years but get a 'fail' on our 1st try... well... gonna take it easy sometimes..

It was so nervous for my driving test... yeah, for me, any test/examination will make me so nervous ... try to tell myself.. calm down... steady ya.... i got a young beautiful examiner.. we dont go for any driving instructor on 2nd time.. as is not necessary for our case... we rented a car , as our only car is 'van type' .. where the handbrake is not in the middle.. we need a vehicle that 'handbrake' in the middle of front seats... is much more cheaper ... we rented for 2 days.. (me and my hubby test separate day as 1 need to standby take care of kids) ... Luckily the weather was good.. pretty kind young examiner.. i try my best to obey all the rules and 'pattern' of driving style in victoria.. .. Ya... you need to look at the mirrors (back mirror/side mirror), before you put on yr indicator and make yr turn... we used to on the indicator first... only check mirrors... well, i just try to remember "Mirror mirror, indicator " :P End of the test, i got a cross on the test paper... that she explained to me, i pulled out too fast .... phew~~ luckily just one cross...

That's all, that's over... Thanks God!!

My hub will start his new job by end of sept, and is really for me alone to take care of 3 children from there onward... but i believe somehow thing doesn't go that worst as what we thought of.. wish me lucks... :)

电影: 非诚勿扰 2

我非常喜欢 "非诚勿扰" 这套电影. 都看了几遍.

前几天, 在youtube 找些资料, 竟然看到 "非诚勿扰 2".. 就当下开了来看...还是没让我失望的一套戏 :) 很喜欢当中的几个对白 ... 尤其是这一句 :

"一辈子, 很短"

每一个人, 在生命里的每一个阶段, 都在忙着计划该做些什麼, 什麼还没做.. 我门就这忙忙碌碌的过了"一辈子"...

当中有多少个可以活在当下, 活得自在呢?? 我真希望是当中的其中一位. 我不想我短短的一生, 就忙着烦着的没了...

话说的简单, 生活可是一门很深的哲學...

Pumpkin Huat Kuey

I came across this recipe from one of the blog... found the ingredients and instruction quite simple, i just try to make it.. but i replace the sweet potato with pumpkin as I dont have it in my fridge :p

I steam with my baking tray as I dont have my paper cup... it turned up to be quite nice... just some of the kuey does not smile on top ..

Here my pumpkin Huat Kuey

I had amended a bit on the original recipe...

Ingredients: (make about 7 - 9 cups 100ml size disposal cups)

250g Self Raising Flour (2 cups)
250ml Coconut Milk
1 Medium/Large Egg
1 Big Pieces Of Gula Malaka(Palm Sugar) - 200 gram - 1 cup
50 ml water
3-4 Small Sweet Potato/Pumpkin (about 300g)

Methods:
1. Wash and steam the sweet potatoes until soft, peel off the skin and use a fork or finger to roughly break into pieces then set aside to cool.
2. I used normal brown sugar. You can use gula melaka if you want(place the 50ml of water and gula malakain a small saucepan and simmer over low heat until completely dissolved). Set aside for it to cool before using.
4. Pour the self-raising flour into a big mixing bowl, then make a well in the center and pour in the coconut milk and whisk a few times before adding in the egg.
5. Kept on whisk until the egg is incorporate into the batter then pour in the syrup and whisk well.
6. The mixture will be sort of like a pancake batter, lastly add in the sweet potato/pumpkin pieces(reserve some for the topping) and stir till combined.
7. Spoon the mixture into a aluminium cup(100ml)/papercup/baking tray then top with some extra sweet potatoes and steam over medium/high heat for about 20 minutes.

朋友A 跟我讲, 在Australia library 你可以租好多本书和CD.. 我问我丈夫, 在KL 为何我们都没有去租书呢?? 而是去买的多... 他说 : KL 只有一间library, 塞得车去,塞得车回 .. 又没好书.. 唉...我们国家的悲哀 ...

我们就去了一趟, 有华文书哩... 租了几本书和一些CD... 泡书去啦...

用了两天的时间, 读完了一本小说... "男人疯狂,女人现实".....

里面的女主角, 在外辛苦赚钱, 下班后在家洗衣烧饭...

离婚时还被丈夫批为猪的肥胖阿婶 ...

近过三个月的减肥,

信者得愛~鄭秀文

My friend shared out this video via fb.. it took me 2 days to finish it... Well as my kids disturbed me ... I really appreciated on the sharing and I found something that 'touched' my heart... Prob shared in next blog ...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=H3P3Q-Dn0cc&feature=youtu.be

Bad example

Yesterday my son due to small thing, yelled to the father and talk impolite .... father tried to ask him to behalf well and do not talk like that and said will punish him if he continue like that..this make the situation even worst.. My son is the type of , if you try hard to him.. he will even more hard ... I tried to ask the father dont get angry, let him cool down first... father insisted is the 'right time' to educate him ... well.. son yelled even hard and said something that 'knock' my head ... "I very 'fan' now,very 'fan' of you ... papa and keQin, etc' As the sentense sounds 'familiar' to me... i felt upset... the 'words' came from my mouth.. and from the father as well... i yelled to them when i felt so frustrated with them.... fighting, noisy , etc ...

I asked the 'father' just leave him alone... i will talk to him once i done my cooking..(i was half-way preparing lunch)..

During the bath time.... i had a good talk with him.. i asked him gently 'Just now i heard you said you are very 'fan'... where you learn this word from? You 'acting' like me or your father?"

Suddenly, he looked at me with cheeky face.. smile a bit and said 'You, mama... i 'act' like you' ... I am glad that he telling me the true.. I continuously said 'Well... you all sometimes act too naughty and I cannot control myself to said this out, but promise me, dont yelled again like that and yelling this words out...And I promise you, i will not say so. If I accidentally forgot... you remind me and tell me that we had promised each other, okay??"

he said 'Mm... i wanted to say again, but i wont yell... i said very very soft and low low sounds like 'mmm... I ~~~~ fan' and he just laugh with this new idea of talking like tweety bird sounds ... phew~~ my son...

Mind our own language especially in front of the kids.

平衡点

近来生活很忙碌, 搞得我脾气很暴燥...

孩子的哭闹声...哇!!

要张罗一家大小的饮食起居 ..

还要打理文件...

还有一串串的 follow-up ...

我快要崩溃了...

我非常须要找寻我生活上的平衡点 .... ><

Think Positive

Just before i come to Australia, i had tuned my mindset as try to think positive for all the stuffs around. As i believe the power of words.. after i touched down here... kind of pressures of all kind of thing to settle within the deadline.. negative thinking arises ... loneliness, unhappiness... all follow closely that made my mood getting even worst.

This morning while i put on uniform for Hao... i was chatting with him, suddenly like a 'blink' in my mind.. i told him ...u need to talk about all positive stuff, as our words very powerful... when you said bad thing, it really 'come', so we need to talk all the positive stuff... as good will follow us as well.....suddenly i like awake... yeah... where am i heading these few weeks?? why I become mentally so weak? Just becoz of my own mindset.... phew~~ settling down definitely needs times..... and I need patient and more positive thoughts on top of EVERYTHING that will only keep me moving forward!!!

Mom... you got more friends now...

I was telling Hao that... 'Hao, you got so many friends now.. even more than mom... i so pity, i got so little friend here only... i only knew Adam's mom... Clayton's mom and dad... Chelsea's mom.. '... he said 'ya... i got so much now, more than you...'

Last sunday evening, we went to our nearby park ... i chat with a lady... with her 2 grandchildren.. She is from china... helping the dotta to take care the kids while both the dotta and son in law working...They moved from Spore ... been here for 1-2 yrs... Very lovely friendly lady....

Yesterday morning ... i was chatting with an old Ang Mo lady ...Pam and her hubby, Barry.. playing with their grandkids in the park... Same as us, they just move here for 2 mths +.. She told me the kids from 'farm' area.. so they are noisy.... haha.. all the kids are 'noisy' when they at playground.. no mattter where they from.....

on our way back by paddle... Hao in front and i am back following.... he said 'Mom...... you got more friends now.... '... this boy really put my words in his little mind....yes.. hopefully i will know more friends from now onwards...quite miss my days in KL with my friends...colleagues.... so lonely over here ** sob sob........

Mum... i felt like going back KL....

I had a chat with my son, Hao ... while both of his sis had asleep ... i started with "Do you miss KL? or yr frens in KL?"

he like 'emm... i felt like going back KL"...

I asked 'Is it becoz u miss yr frens there? or ah ma?"

he said 'nope.... you guess'..... he started to use his finger to count ...

i said 'mm... Henry? ' he like 'mm.. nope'...

then i try my 2nd attempt... 'Lo Mai Kai??" he said 'yes... 1, then?" put his thumb up... for the 1st item i guessed corrrectly... then i said 'mm.. apung that i bought for you from Pasar Malam...?" .. he like 'correct... what's next?" 1 more finger up.... "Ha Peng?" "Roti Canai", "Bak Chang", "Chic Rice"... YES YES YES!!! his eyes blinking.... more and more fingers up....phew~~ this boy... missing all the food from KL.... just like the mum.......^_^

looks like i need to start 'picking' up those skills to learn how to make all those food....

"Why No English"??

It's 2 mths + we been here.... initial stage we had been running up and down to do all kind of stuffs.. then we slow down our steps to take a breath... now we continue for the remaining issues...

Yesterday we went to city to bring my mom for the health assessment - chest xray, which is one of the procedure to follow in order to extent her visa stay for another 3 mths ... took number, wait for the queue, got it...paid and complete everything then wait for the queue for x-ray...

The radiographer is a 'ang mo' lady... she is very friendly, i accompany my mom to go in... i translated to my mom on what to do... she is very friendly... she do thing very gentle ... then done... There is another chinese young man colleague with her... after mymom turn, i guessed she wanted to take a break for lunch, etc. She informed the chinese guy that he is taking over the job ... i was waiting my mom there near the dressing room, so i can hear clearly on what they said... xray area is at the same area...

The next is a indian girl, done... then a chinese girl done, he did very fast.. then a chinese man, about 50 i guess... he cant speak english... normally the radiographer will ask 1 questions, 'Your birthday?" The man didnt answer, the young man repeated again "Your birthday?" ... silent again... The young man is not patient and said 'Ai...... your birthday?"..... after a while, i guess the chinese man said 'no english' (means he dunno english)... i heard the young chinese radiographer talked very loud , as i can hear cleary 'WHY NO ENGLISH???" ..... then he started to talk a bit impolite .... " if i say 1, do a deep breath in and hold, like this ' he do the deep breath veryloudly... and so on... said loud 'do you get it? do you understand me? ah??" ...

I actually felt very upset on hearing all these.... i felt shame on the young chinese radiographer... First, he is not professional enough to carry out his job... Then i felt he bit of 'look down' the chinese man... Actually there are a lot of chinese whom 'look down' on those chinese that cannot speak a proper english, and they forgot they are chinese... if you are chinese and you cannot speak your own mother tongue, i think he more shameful (I dont mean to all ABC , jsut for those got this kind of attitude problem) ... This young man, he can either speak politely in english if people dunno english .. but not in a impolite tune... really felt upset on this...

phew~~ time to stop as tons of household stuffs waiting for me... a bit late today :p

Settling down in Oz

It's been a month + upon our touched down to this country... Thinking back all the stuffs that happen during this period, it just like a dream.... sorting out all the stuffs... arranging ... stress...phew~~ is all over...

Hao started his school at 27 april.. the Education rules a bit different here... 6 years old will need to enter to Year 1 in primary...but you must be 6 yrs old by 30 april... Means.. if your bday fall beyond this date, you are considered 5 years old... sounds complicated?? hahaha.. so Hao end up in Prep year ... next year only enter to Year 1, as he is a December baby!

He started on 2nd term... for the last 6 days of his schoolling, everyday i got to wake up early to prepare his lunch box ...they started at 9am, finished at 3.30pm. He got his swimming class started on 1st day... last for 8 days.. is kind of intensive swimming course.. so parent can follow but drive own car... to the nearby college (Haileybury College) and watch from audience seat ... so i sent him to school at 8.45am and back after his swimming session, reached home about 11am ++ ....phew~ cooking... serviing, laundry... bathing them... thats a day for me...

still try to arranging sometimes for myself for surfing net, posting blog...uploading photo (a lot pending ....) prob the best time is after they sleep... BUT i sleep Toooo!!!! hahhaa...

now is autumn... quite cold...daily temperature is about 11-17 now...

Our next mission is getting Oz driving license...another study for us... 2 computer test + 1 on the road... Australia recognised spore driving license but NOT malaysia :(

not sure how it will become when my mom back to Malaysia,... prob i become a crazy woman yelling the kids along the streets..... hahha...

new start up ....

I arrived in Melbourne on 18 march and had moved to my house on 8 April 2010 at Patterson Lakes ... It is already 1 mth in oz and 2 wks in my new house.. And I had started my new role --> Homemaker (Housewife in Oz is called Homemaker) ... :)

My channel still not tuned to be a homemaker yet... haha.. my timetable still not up, but need to make up soon as Hao going to start his schooling on 27 April 2011 ...next Wednesday...

For the last 1 mth, we had kind of settling whatever we could ... centrelink, medicare ...kids enrollment, house settlement issue. Finally, still left 1... wait for Hao schooling started and to get the driving license...phew~~

Unpacking still on going... mostly on cloths stuff.... here is getting cold... those cloth need to put aside and get them thicker cloth ... winter is coming....

See....still got a lot of stuff..... will tell more in my next blog on the groceries shopping here... everything is quite new to us... still a lot to find out here.....

Here I come, melbourne

Its my 4th day in Melbourne.... only have time to sit in front of my laptop and 'online'..... :)

1st day a bit messy.. as car rental took some times.... end up ... we

a. late to delivery the rental car ... luckily we manage to find a free parking for rental car overnite, as we do not wish to drive 2 cars to our resort (which is 65km from city - 1 1/2 hrs) phew~~

b. late to check in kyneton bushland resort. Well... resort receptionist is not operate 24 hrs like msia.. we reached about 10.30 pm, they closed at 9pm. We tried to contact emergency no provided by the brochure... well.. end up we drive back to city and rent a nite there at Preston...

Good thing to think about is.. we stayed in Preston, we do not need to rush for returning the car before 10am as the rental office just walking distance from the hotel... and we got times to shop for groceries before we check-in the Kyneton resort...

End up, w/o enuf sleep and water, me having sore throat now... and some cough... luckily my kids all well taken care...

Today, we went to Bendigo to register with the Centrelink and Medicare, everything go smoothly.. luckily my mom is here.. helps a lot !!

I still got no time to snap the pix...prob started tomolo ... snap some kangaroos photos then... Good nite!!

2011 dream

It's been some time I did not update my blog...

2010 ... quite a challenging year for me...

There are some major stuffs happened in last year (now considered last year)

There is a new family member :) my super cute chubby lil daughter.

There is a big moving plan for my whole family...

Well... there is no guarantee on there is always turn up to be best of changing the new lifestyle ..

but at least... if there is opportunity given.. no harm to give it a try...

Moving forward is still always better than remain unchanged. I always believe that.. and have faith that thing will go smoothly as planned or as wished.. (something is really not able to plan out).

Everyone has dreams.... passion of life... I do hope my friends do not forget theirs... :)
