I'm a full-time mummy

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..

Top part of the picture is the ingredients all ready to be cooked on 10th March 2015. From top left (clockwise): A bowl of anchovy base soup, chicken slices marinated with sweet soy sauce + sugar + salt pepper + baking soda (to tenderise the meat), a small bowl of anchovy base soup, few slices of ginger, a bowl of scallions chopped, a plate of spinach (clean, rinsed).

I like to bring our kiddos to the playground whenever situations and weather permits. One morning after dropping off our oldest kiddo at kindy, I brought our girls to the playground and it was bright and sunny in the morning so the place was just nice and bright and the playground equipments are dry enough to be played with.

As usual, our girls stomped around at the playground and something caught my eye and I called the girls over to check out what mummy discovered. Some unusual bugs and very interesting insects indeed! I took lots of photos so that I can show to our boy later on as well and teach him what I taught our girls earlier.

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

* I get to teach our girls about insects and its' body parts (antennae, body, legs, wings).

* I get to teach our girls to be gentle with other creatures.

* I get to teach our kiddos how some insects can camouflage themselves to protect from being eaten/hunted.

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: I'M LOOKING FOR...

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!
