Ever since we came back from my Grandpa’s funeral, I notice that Didi has been crying most of the night, in the middle of sleep. It got so bad and so tiring for both hubby and me, until I have to apply eye cream for dark circles below my eyes. Although hubby does not believe in asking the Chinese medium at temples, he still voiced out this suggestion and asked mum to go seek for medium to ask for advice. True enough, the medium said that the boy had been frightened. Hope the prayer helps to soothe him down after this. Poor Didi

Since there are so many celebrations at this month (Lunar birthdays, English calendar birthday for the kids and hubby), I thought of getting a jelly cake instead as they are really pretty and tasty too. But QQ and hubby just dislike the idea of having jelly replacing cake. They said, jelly cake ain’t cake at all. So we will end up with at least 5 cakes, for this month for this month. I will obviously be needing adipex to help me flatten tummy by the end of the month again !

Edible printing is getting more common these days. For those who can bake, but can’t decorate well, you can send your favourite images to be printed out on icing sheets. Just apply some butter cream on your cupcakes or cakes, and peel the sticker-like icing onto your cake.

Some online shops even have template of an A4 size so you can mix and match the shapes you want, all in one piece of A4 (price per A4 piece ranges from Rm17-Rm18). Once printed (usually takes less than a day), it will be sent out (by courier) once payment is made. Easy isn’t it?

Some local bakers that do edible sheets are:

The kids are getting older each year. We haven’t been planning much for the kids future, except hoping that they could do well in government school, and goes into the local university. On investment wise, we know we should be doing something for the kids, such as taking up an investment policy for the boys. In fact, it is a good time now to investing in gold, as it is not likely to deplete in value. If we buy gold coins now, they might appreciate over the years, even better than keeping the cash. At least, when my kids are in need of the money, we can sell the gold at a better rate. Definitely a good choice for a solid investment.

It is the month of June again. Instead of baking, we will be getting cakes from the shop for everyone instead. More nicer and tastier, I think. However I am still going to personalised by printing some edible images for the kids’ cake so it look more special. QQ will have a Diamond Castle theme birthday this year, while the boys will be having Thomas and friends. Can’t wait to see the outcome of the cake soon.

We are going to Genting again soon, with the free tickets from our share investment. Hubby decided to keep that share and will not sell it. Hubby thought of the idea to buy gold coins as investment for the kidstoo. Unlike share which is just a piece of paper, we know that investment like Gold is a good investment as price preserve and increase over than years. Although it is getting more pricier to invest than many years back, it is still definitely better than keeping cash in the bank that depreciates, I think. So, we might as well grab this chance now to invest, before the price goes up further.

Asthmathic kids? I am so afraid that QQ would have such a problem, since she is having quite a serious sinus. Her nose is blocked almost at all time. There is once she almost could not breathe and doctor had to give her some gas to relieve her breathing. If her situation gets serious, I might need to standby a portable oxygen concentrator at home in future.

Initially we thought of going for a short overseas vacation with the boys this year. But after calculating the fares involve, I am surprise to find that short distance vacation to a neighbourhood country can be expensive as well. If there is not much saving, I would rather travel further, say to a place with Disneyland such having a vacation in Orlando. More worth it I think, since we are planning to bring the kids.

We chosed a glass dinning table for our home, as hubby thought that having a modern furniture makes our home looks more spacious and clean. But on second thought, we would like to have a coventional looking teak in future for our home. Although old, it somehows makes a home looks warmer, I think. Which would you prefer?

Hubby complains of tiredness everyday when he drives back from work. It is indeed dangerous to drive in such a drowsy and sleepy condition although our car is subscribed to the extended service plan. Probably his condition is due to weight gain or lack of exercise. I have gained a lot weight myself too, in the recent months (due to stress with work and kids?)
