Saturday

Was the day to gather at Meidera with my extended family for dinner and a monthly birthday celebration. It’s a potluck style of food preparation and I’m in charge of seafood this month, that’s why I need a vehicle. I’m going marketing without hus… scared. I got Deroy to help me cos I have the intention to buy live seafood and I’m really scared of moving animals.

in the end, I still dint get the moving ones, I was too scared. So we got the fresh ones but not the fighting-to-survive ones. *timid* Deroy helped me a lot in the kitchen while I prepared the 2 fish and prawns. I fried fish served with sweet and sour sauce. 2 types of prawns: cheese prawn and garlic butter steam prawns. All done in 2 hours, all thanks to Deroy. *kudos to man in the kitchen*

We arrived at Meidera a little late but dinner hasn’t start bcos there’s a no. of late-comers. Jarek was playing with the children again, he’s a very tall sec 2 brother of mine. He always plays with children as though he’s really interested in their not-so-interesting games. But he would do it to make them happy.

[my 2 brothers]

I love my 2 brothers, they’ve never hesitated to help me or be nice to me. When they were young, they will always say that I’m their favourite sister; maybe I rarely scold them and they thought I was pretty. Now there’s no apparent difference in how they treat us, we’re all princesses with them around.

I’m not so much a disciplinary role amongst the 3 sisters, which I’m thankful the other 2 were. If not, I would have naughty and defiant brothers. My 2 sisters have higher expectation of their conduct and performance. Now the 5 of us are really really close cos of how we were brought up and how we stood for each other during “storms”.

The 2 men-in-making are big boys already; they’re tall and stronger so they’ll carry the heavy things while the sisters shopped. Ain’t we so blessed with them?

Back to the gathering, my cheese prawns was popular but the garlic ones weren’t. Deroy and Jarek became table policemen to catch the greedy ones who took extra servings without giving others a chance to taste one… haha.

August was Chai Yi and my birthday month, we had carrot and walnut cake… *yum yum* but that turned Hus into a Fart Monster… his stomach reacts badly with nuts!









I'm one lucky GIRL with such loving family... and farty Hus
