wow.. so it's today..
I love the traditional type too with gula melaka.. Here noone will make for me.. hahaha..

ypg,
kueh lapis need alot of work.. need to bake 1 layer by 1 layer.. I used to bake but I cant have it myself as I smell till sick.. hahaha... love to taste yr homemade cake.. yummy!!
 


JJmom,

Oh yes, how could I forget how hard little children try to differentiate their own creation so as to taste their own works after that! Hahaha, so cute!
 
I love to roll tang yuen too. Too bad, my granny old liao... and my mum cannot cook. Sigh... i miss those days where we all gather round to roll tang yeun, wrap rice dumplings, make wanton, make love letters for CNY etc.
 
Wow, seems like most of us did get to enjoy the good old days of rolling out the traditions!

My poor children,
Thy are the deprived,
For your mummy is lazy and inept at cooking.
 
I want to ask you all:

The Eelyn who ordered the food is not Eelyn Chua ah? Then who is she (the Eelyn who ordered food) on facebook?
 
<font color="119911">XY,

Cheerbear,

Yap, as long as u bo hiam my kueh lapis. I am gladly making it for our CNY gathering.

Envy u all got grannies. My mum's side granny pass away b4 I am born and due to my parents divorce, I din get much chance to see my father's side granny. So we dun have such fun times. Onli can remember the tang yuan tat I help my aunt make once.

Maybe next yr when Kai Tong bigger, I can plan for a Tong yuan making session for her. As for dumpling, no one in our family know how to do. Wasted!

Ladies, dun worry about the loss of tradition as long as we have the heart to maintain it.

XY,

Yap, thanks for ur thoughtful gift. Also, please help me thank ur hubby for cutting up the chicken n lamb for us to eat. I am so impressed with his skills.

<font color="aa00aa">Went to city square mall this afternoon. Like the place cos it is very spacious. Good to do shopping on a week day as it is not so crowded. This shopping mall has many restuarants. Mummies who like to meet up may want to consider this place esp those staying at the NE side. </font>
 
bluey,
if ur hb dun agree then meaning that he dunno u r a bao (treasure) at home :p

mousebb,

to be honest, my work hrs is v long... if i live far and just travel to my parents and ils, think i will be seeing my bb for just a few hrs before he/she goes to bed... to me, maybe not really time well spend... so i rather pick him/her up on friday and return her to parents/ils on monday...but i may make it a point to actually go home to c bb regardless if i can
 
<font color="aa00aa">cheer bear
My hubby is on leave most of the time in Dec so he can drive us around. This is also the reason I dont log in often nowadays.</font>

jts, i was a weekend baby/child as well. i stayed with my grandma till 8yo and i go hm to my parents during the weekends and i must say, i hate going hm w my parents cos i miss my grandma
happy.gif
 
purple,

Why suddenly ask about this question? U intend to go back workforce?

Me now at Polliwogs. It is great to be a SAHM but I dun think I can do without my job. I will die if I dun work.
 
jellypurin,

Me too! Hate going back to my parents place during weekend. Then always got this feeling tat my mum dun want me tat is why dump me at my aunt place.

I have a hard time adapting to my mum after I move back to stay with her when I am 10.
 
jelly,
i'm a wkend bb/child too... stayed w my grandma until i need to go pri sch.

i'm considering the options now as I'm planning to go back to workforce... and taking into consideration on the norm office hrs and my hb's shift work hrs.

Maybe becos i think too much ba...
 
I was also a weekend child.
Stayed with my granny. My parents divorced when i was 7. Thereafter, my mum would come take us to my other granny's place which i hate.

When i got older... i'll go out before she comes. Then she cannot take us. So... totally not close with my parents. Love my granny to bits!

just to share. I'm a weekend parent. But i do visit my boy at my mum's everyday after work on weekdays. The reason why I dont bring him back every night and send him back the following morning is firstly, the distance. My mum stays in Toa Payoh and me in Sengkang. Though not exactly very far but I will need to wake him up at around 7am if I want to send him back to my mum's everyday, while he can sleep till 8+am if left alone. So I find that kind of disruptive for him... shuttling to and fro everyday. I thought its gonna be tiring for both myself and him.

So I'll rather visit him everyday but leave him at my mum's. Then fetch him back on Friday nights.
