C is for chocolate

Meescha, Kristen and I love chocolates. I always tell them, "I wish chocolates are healthy than we can eat them for breakfast, lunch and dinner", wouldn't that be great??

Meeting and Japanese

While hubby was busy in a meeting yesterday, I took the girls out for a Japanese dinner...eh what was the restaurant's name again... something Ki... We were at this new shopping complex called Tropicana City in Damansara and there were lots of nice looking restaurants but Kristen pointed to Japanese so Japanese we did. She ordered sushi set, Meescha ordered Soba soup and me, Fish Tempura. Meescha said her soba was yummy, Kristen said "that was a good dinner mum", she really managed to eat them all, oh she only passed me the soft shelled crab. Later in the car I told her that her dinner consists of octopus, eel and raw salmon... her replied was "eeyuuuuk, why didn't you tell me mum?" But, they were yummy right?" I asked. She nodded her head.

What did hubby grab for dinner? aah rice in his office..... And so the three ladies went to bed with smile on their faces......

Feel the adrenaline

This took place on Saturday between 10.30am to 12.30pm.

In the car driving Kristen home after her music class:

Me: "Jie Jie xxx has invited us for a swim at her condo"

Kristen: "Oh"

...The end of that topic, I presume that she was not interested and we talk about other things, the new road, neighbour's dog, until we reached home.

Me: "You go in first, I need to get some groceries from the Fresh Mart, remember we are making Kuih Seri Muka today"

Kristen: "Yeah! Happily walked in to join dad and Meescha at home"

I came back after half an hour and Kristen came running out...

Kristen: "Mummy, Meescha agree to go"

Me: "Oh! to where"

Kristen: "Swimming remember"

Me : "I said we were invited but I didn't agree to go today"

The end of conversation. They went upstairs to join dad and I went to the kitchen to prepare lunch. While waiting for the food to cook I move to the living room to watch TV. Then the 2 girls appeared again in their swimming suit.

Kristen: "Let's go mum, we are ready"

Me: "Huh, did I agree to go? I am planning to make the kuih and you know at 4pm I have a meeting"

Meescha: "We know about your meeting mum, that's why if we go now, we will be back on time for your meeting"

Me: "........................................................."

Kristen: "OK mum?"

Me: "NO, GO AND CHANGE NOW"

Kristen: "AaaaaAaaaaAaaagh"

Wah not only they put words into our mouth, they even tried to put vision into our sight. By the way, the Kuih Seri Muka was marvelous.
