Updates...

I should have updated mum's b'day dinner here, but in fact ... I've done it in my other blog earlier last week. Feel free to drop in B-day dinner @ Umai for a peep. ^_^

I'll be leaving to KL this weekend for a friend's wedding function. Guess I'll be missing mum very very much, hope she'll be fine without me. Hmmm .... at least dad is still around!

Workout ...

I know … I should bang myself to the wall for this long-overdue post! These photos have been laying in my picture folders for weeks, but I’ve forgotten to blog about it! Ahhhh …. My fault!

Anyway, these are mum’s updated pictures during her workout time.

Therapist suggested mum to play balls, all difference sizes of balls to practice her hand & leg.

Dad throwing the ball to mum … to the left, to the right, mum has to aim properly in order to grab the ball.

The ball went invisible when they were throwing it … I forgot to change my camera to high-speed mode. *paiseh*

Besides, dad bought this paddling gadget for mum, it’s something like cycling, mainly to practice her leg.

Therapist suggested mum to practice at least once a day, she has to keep herself moving all the time … everyday, for better blood circulation.

We’re observing the development of her movement, getting better day-by-day. She can actually walk alone without any guidance now, just need to build up her confidence coz she’s not certain with her own ability.

Will try to snap some more new pix this weekend …. Stay tune!

p/s: It's mum's b'day on this coming Monday, took leave to accompany her at home. ^_^

I love my family ...

It’s been quite some time since I last update this blog. Been a bit busy & out of idea I guess!

Mum is a happy woman nowadays… she has a very patient hubby + a lovely daughter. Dad managed to make appointment with a new therapist in Heritage (strongly recommended by Anita, thanks!). Mum tried their treatment on Monday + Tuesday & she loved it! She said the way they teach her is very much different from SMC, they are more detailed, more specific. They even taught her how to squad down & somehow trained her way of balancing herself. Furthermore, they don’t charge as costly as SMC.

My dad is really a very enduring man, I admire his never-give-up spirit. Mum told me how patient was he in the therapist centre with her. From the start to the end (around 2 hours), my dad was there to escort mum all the way, stay by her side to support her. Therapist taught mum some simple workout that she can just DIY at home, mum was afraid that she couldn’t remember the steps, dad being so considerate …. paid full attention during the lesson and memorized everything for mum! Again, credit given to his enduring spirit. Mum proudly showed off to me how good was his hubby, how the people there admire her for having such a good hubby. And again … my dad jokingly showed me his arrogant expression which really made me laugh.

I just love my family so much! My mum always says dad’s patient character just nice to accommodate her bad temper … and me … being neutralize in between the two of the. This created a PERFECT family. To be frank, I’ve never seen my dad angry or get mad over something, he’ll always treat things easily with a calm mind. That’s what I called a perfect man.

Last but not least, let me show you guys what I’ve cooked for mum on Sunday. She needs to eat something really healthy and preferably oil-less and salt-less. So I made this ….

Ingredients:

1. Fresh fish slices
2. Hon Shimeji Mushroom
3. Carrots (cut into cubes)
4. Vegetables [Note: it would be nice if you can use Chinese cabbage a.k.a wong-a-pak]
5. Tofu (cut into cubes)
6. Dried scallop
7. Red date & 蜜枣
8. Chicken fillets (marinated with small amount of soya sauce + sesame oil + flour + 1 egg white)
9. Big mushroom

Boiled the soup with No. 3 + 6 + 7 until it turns milky colour, then pour in all other ingredients to boil together. Remember not to overcook the chicken fillet & fish slices.

As simple as aromatic! Try this out at home if you need a healthy meal to live longer! ^_^

Brunch at Delifrance

We showered mum with a contented brunch at Delifrance yesterday. She had not stepped into Warisan Square for 2 months plus, this is the first time after the incident. Aunty Janet, Kelly, Stanley, Kristy & little Cheryl joined us for another gathering session.

Cheryl is so cute … In fact, she enjoyed the meal very much. Not only the meal, she also enjoyed making friends there. She made friend with all the staffs in Delifrance, everyone hug her & played with her.

Look at all her funny faces

My cute dad & cute little Cheryl with her Sunny Beach Look!

We proceed to Yogur Berry thereafter. Each of us had a single scope of Yogurt. What a pleasure Sunday afternoon. All of us enjoyed it!

Just a little update, mum can actually walk alone right now. Last night, she showed-off to us that she managed to walk to the dining table alone, I only hold a little bit of her shirt. Well Done! In addition, with dad’s assistant, she walked up to her room on Saturday night. After 2 months + 3 days, she finally had a sweet dream in her own room …

Our new Indo maid started to work on last Saturday, so far so good. Mum & I tried our best to communicate with her in Malay. So far, she managed to catch what we’re trying to say. Muahahaha … with my limited Malay knowledge, I briefed her on our house’s rules & regulations. No doubt, she’s a great helper in the kitchen, appreciate a lot!

Mum's weekend ...

With the assist of my dad & I, mum managed to walk up the staircase last Saturday. Therapist advised her to walk & practice more, that’s what she does everyday. Her work-out time is usually 3pm to 4pm daily, follow up by a comfort bath thereafter.

Mum walking up the stairs, step-by-step!

A pix taken in my room. ^_^ She did walked up to her room too, after One and a half month, she’s back to her sweet room that she missed a lot. I’ve taken a pix of her lying on her lovely bed, but she warned me not to post that up. =P

She spent a little time in our guest room, soon to be maid room next week.

I made 2 special dishes for mum & dad last weekend, both with Celery and they LOVE it so much …

木耳小炒

A mixture of minced pork, minced black fungus & minced celery. Stir-fried all together with a little bit of soya sauce. A very nice dish for all celery-lover.
[Note: Celery & black fungus are good for high blood pressure patient.]

西芹小蛋卷

It’s something like Sushi, instead of Japanese rice, I replaced it with Omelette. It served with raw celery, another dish for great celery-lover. [Note: Again, celery & seaweed benefit high blood pressure patient].

Basically, I just made these for them, coz I really can’t take celery! Perhaps, next time I shall try the same cooking method, replace celery with other food for myself to eat … ^_^

Surprise for mum

4^th August 2007, Saturday

Dad suggested to eat out tonight, we went to Wagamama with Uncle Joe, Uncle Jason, Aunty Janet & Kelly. I guess mum feels happy because she has not eat out for almost one month plus. Thanks to dad for taking the initiative to bring her there.

We stayed there until 10 something, had lots of good food & fun. We all enjoyed it …

5^th August 2007. Sunday

Mum has been murmuring to Ah Hou that she wants to eat dumpling (水饺), but it’s impossible to get dumpling without pork & prawn in KK. I know how eager she wants it …

So, last Sunday I surprised her with this Creamy’s Homemade Chicken Wan Tan. Yes, I know, Wan Tan is not dumpling. But I couldn’t buy the dumpling skin last week, alternatively use wan tan skin to replace. Mum didn’t believe I made the Wan Tan at first, she thought dad bought it elsewhere. She felt so touched with this 忌廉爱心云吞!

Coordination & Focus

Mum played toys today ... so cute! It's really some small kids' games. I saw a little girl playing with those toys a couple weeks ago, thought it's only for kids, but in fact ... it's for adult too! This time, they're training her coordination and focus skill.

Let's look at her photo ...

She looks so enjoyable! GAMBADE ...
