Gadget and Greener Lifestyle

Hi folks!

Guys loves to talk about technology gadgets..whereas mommies, don't we simply love talking about kitchen gadgets :D

Recently my mil bought us this wonderful gadget! Biosafe, which can be used not only to clean the baby bottles, baby toys, cutleries, fruits, vegetables, grains etc...it actually said to be able to killed 99.9% bacteria. They have actually conducted test by putting in E.coli into it and run the Biosafe.

You gotta try it to believe it. So these days, I would use Biosafe to clean the bottles, the fruits and vegetables. Hooray for more salads(raw greens) in our diet with the convenience of this gadget :) Feel safer too...

So, needless to guess, today i had tomato salads with oven-baked tofu for lunch...(sorry lunch wiped out before i could take any picture)..more experiments to be done to create more meal-satisfying salads!




Will share more of my experiments in the future!
Cheers!

Happy Belated Teacher's Day!

Hi folks!

First of all, Happy Belated Teacher's Day to all teachers!

Who are those teachers whom you still remember? Can count with a single hand?

Throughout my studies there are a number of teachers which influenced me greatly, they are:
1. Primary 6 English teacher- Ms. Ng who built a strong foundation in English
2. Mrs. Thiang,my Form 1 English teacher who gave my first 3 Reader's Digest which started my thirst for books
3. Mr. Yap, my coach(sports), biology & Add. Maths teacher who taught us like Uni. Students. I remember how I would go to him to challenge the answers given on the exam questions and eventually won and got my well-deserved marks back :) and as he grad from NZ, an I used to revise my Biology in English(borrowing O level Biology reference book from the library as I find it easier to understand and makes better sense than in Malay which uses mostly translated terms from English)
Note: Please be wise and fair MOE, let our children study Science & Maths in English!!!

4. Mrs. Ong, my geography teacher cum 1119 English teacher who opens up my view on flowery & advanced essay writing

Phew ..all in all, seems that most teachers who affected me the most are English speaking teachers!

What about you? Who are the teachers which influenced you most?

Like to hear from you and meanwhile teachers you all are the greatest and you guys rocks as you guys gave us the strong foundation we need to face the real world!

Love you all and hope my dear teachers are all well & healthy!

Cheers!

Mother's Day missed and hit

Hi folks!

This year Mother's Day, it is a fruitful one(for me at least). I had my facial session as planned (although almost didn't make it as something happened in between that nearly made me lost my mood to go ; someone forgot i had the session...hohoho..anyway glad i did went at the end! And it was good! Glad I made it though I was 15mins. late). Now, when was the last time i had a facial session? Can't remember...DIY didn't count haha..it is a small little pampering time for myself on the eve of Mother's Day.

Then, on the actual day itself, hubby actually got the "wrong cake" or did not get the intended cake. But it was ok actually 'cos all the other cakes from that cake house taste great. Just that the Mother's Day theme-cake you will only get to try it during Mother's Day. Another communication breakdown sometimes but well...we go for the effort rather than the missed k...so cake-buying effort is accomplished by dear hubby (he asked me why some customer gets carnation, some don't, then i said to him, only those who bought the Mother's Day theme cake will get it. lolx..this shows when i showed him the leaflet, he missed it..anyway..no big deal! It's considered good enough as DH seldom buy cakes so cannot blame him for not being "alert" enough to read the BIG banner placed on the door and at the counter of the cakehouse)

Then on the day itself, DH was occupied the half day(morning)  left me & kids with my in-laws. So we ate, talked, talked and then finallly prepare lunch(yea, it isn't off day for us on Mother's Day, we still cook and eat at home). And the afternoon i spent my time catching on my sleep with the kids while DH chat with his dad and mom. Then again is dinnertime..and cake cutting session...overall it is a good Mother's Day allrite..we spent time with our family members..that's what all matters.!

So, how was your Mother's Day? Hope it has been good...and the good depends how we look at it...for mine..i looked beyond the "missed" and focus on the "hit"so I am happy!

Cheers and everyday is a Mother's Day k...let's take good care of ourselves as a mom and give the well-deserved break to chill out from time to time!
