I'm a full-time mummy

Was planning to go grocery shopping and decided to turn it into a teaching and learning moment. Got our 6 years old boy a piece of paper and pen for him to write down MY grocery list hehehe...

As I said out the words, I paused and wait, making sure he knows how to spell the words and writing it correctly.

Now why this falls into the 'Teaching & Learning Moments!'?

* I get to expose and teach our kiddos to help out with some housechores.

* I get to teach our boy to practise their handwriting skills.

* Our boy gets to practise his listening skill.

* Our boy gets to practise his spelling.

* I get to instil a sense of responsibilities in our boy as I entrust the list to him to strike off the items we managed to get during our grocery shopping trip.

* I get to boost his sense of accomplishments for being mummy's little helper!

Win-win!

Ever since I started kindergarten at 6 years old, I have been attending public schools (main language is Bahasa Malaysia) and during my earlier years, I mixed around with a lot of Malay friends and even spoke Bahasa with my elder brother at home (he also attends public schools), even to this day. So Bahasa Malaysia used to be my main language other than Cantonese and later on English (brushed up more when I met my hubby then boyfriend through snail mails, I had to practise and brush up my English as he doesn't speak Cantonese) Anyway, I think it is fun to be able to practise back and sharing what I know with those of you who are interested.

And so, here goes our next lesson: SON / DAUGHTER...

For those of you who are more often on Facebook, you can also find the tutorials on my Facebook fan page. I have created a "Let's Learn Bahasa & Cantonese!" album to store the phrases. Enjoy learning!

Last year, I wrote about a look back into my home-cooked journey so far. Then shortly before the end of 2014, I wrote a post on my preparation when cooking. Then I thought, "Why not snap a picture of before start cooking and the final results after cooking?"

So, here you go..

Left part of the picture is the ingredients all ready to be cooked on 31st March 2015. From top left (clockwise): Choy Sum (washed, rinsed, chopped into inch long), a cup of sliced garlic (about 7-8 cloves), a bowl of sweet soy sauce + water + sugar, 2 eggs, a can of red beans, Asian sea bass (siakap).
