23rd February, 2009 - My maid is having some rest days ... sent her to the agency for counselling and so I had to deal with all the house chores and taking care of the kids' needs ...
Today, I cooked dinner for the kids, a simple 3-course : fried fish, mixed vegetables, pork-rib soup ABC style ... Jasmine was my little wok-helper, Dash was my little veg-cutting helper and Bob was my little set-the-table helper !! Ha ha ... we had a wonderful dinner actually, with the kids ended up telling me : Ku ku, I give you 10 marks :-) and I went : 10 out of how many marks huh? Jasmine beamed and exclaimed 10 out of 10 ! Wah, so nice and knowing it came out sincerely, I felt kinda proud ya ^_^ Bob said : I give you full marks ! Then, Dash said : can I deduct marks for the soup being too hot ??? He he he ... they made my day ^_^
After dinner, it was dish-washing time, then laundry and ironing ... before I retire to bed at 2 a.m. !! Phew ! At least, I retired to bed happy and satisfied :-) Dozed off almost immediately ! Actually, reflecting on the event of the day, I counted my blessings that Mom had taught me well ... Mom made sure we girls are trained to do all the house chores such as cooking, cleaning up, sweeping, mopping, dish washing, laundry making and sewing too. Thanks ya, mom !!! You saved my life in times like this ^_^
