The hungry pangs can be so scary at times ya?

Some days feeling like a monster constantly looking for food, some days just dun feel like eating and wants to sleep. And all the time thristy. — that’s me during my milking period =p

Hey, just came across your blog. The photo with the penguin is classic! You can actually touch the penguin?? I’ve always wanted to touch a penguin they look so cute and huggable. Quick question - is the fur soft?

Rachel : hey daphne, nice to have u dropped by. We were not allowed to touch the penguin, the handler was there to remind the kids not to touch the poor little guy

I love his hair, adorable!

I too find my #2 is so much easier as compare to my first born. doesn’t panic like a 1st-time mother anymore.

since your option on going for #3 and #4 is open, go for it! handling babies will get so much easier after one comes along

Rachel : hi Rachel, I think a large part got to do with the baby’s temperament and personality and I m just luckier this time

Yes, I can totally relate to that. You needed that me-time to express your thoughts in words, you needed me-time to just breathe ‘kids-free’ air… yet, the motherly cells in you just find it difficult to stay away from them for long….

Maybe can consider making stew or soup with LOTS of ingredients in it.
All you need is the slow cooker. Dump everything in and Ta-Daa, you are free to roam…. *giggle*

Then again, when the little one is cooperative, fry an additional dish or two as a form of celebration. *wink*

Aifang, coz I used to go to sch full time during my 1st trip here in AZ, but still need to cook, the experience has allowed me to learn how to ‘pre-prepare’ many things to cut down cooking time..(esp now with Samuel saving 5-10 mins is better than none right!!) I would buy loads of garlic, ginger and red onions(shallots are too time comsuming) for garlic n red onions, I would peel/wash then grind them real fine mixing in veg oil when I grind them.. For Ginger, after grinding, I would cook it too remove excess moisture then add sesame oil in..With these 3 in my fridge ready (they can last 3-4 mths..no prob)…cooking is really faster:)On a really busy day, thaw a piece of fish, rub salt, rinse off, a tbsp of ginger…steam it..DONE..:).never will u need to chop garlic fine too!!..heat ur pan, tbsp of garlic, veg in…DONE!! My onions are usually used for dishes like curry, fish soup..tbsp of onions, tbsp of ginger, add ikan bilis, sugar, dash of salt, water, boil, add in your fish cake, tofu..blar blar, lastly sliced fish..tadah..FISH SOUP..(I cook this like almost every alt day now that hub is at tdy and Samuel still milking me..I add evaporated milk too) I call them my ?? hope it helps

Rachel : thanks Dawn! I ought to try out your fish soup recipe one of these days…and thanks for the tips!
