Home Farming

I have started to set up a small farm at my back yard, and after 3 weeks of effort..i got something growing in my little farm..


Kai-lan, one week old



Thai Basil, i put the Basil stems in to the soil, and it looks so healthy after one week


3 weeks old spring onion..



Choi Sum- 3 weeks old, will need to replant into better position,these are all seedlings.


Ladies Fingers- 3 weeks old, need to be segregated into individual pots.


Hopefuly another 30-50 days, i can start harvest..

13 months old Gary

It has been long time i did not talk about my little prince.
Today he will be turning 13 months, another milestone achieved...

What is the latest achivement of this little naughty fella?

• Points to things when asked
"Eyes..nose...mouth..fish...daddy."
• Responds to my instructions very well
"give your chut chut to mame", he hands over his pecifier
"knod his head to reply me when i asked "You want this?"
• Uses a spoon or fork,but most of the time the food fall from the spoon
• Matches lids with containers, his favourite activites
• Pushes and pulls toys while walking, he still do not dare to walk on his own which i start to worry....(Kiasu mum)
• Climbing, Do not walk but climb...what baby is this??
• Imitate others...
• Put his palm togther to do "拜拜" when he see statues of prayers
• Show tantrums when he is frustrated, beat people face

I'm giving him Enfagrow 2-3 times a day and breakfast with Pediasure,he likes Enfagrow more, maybe Pediasure is thicker and he feels full with it.In order not to waste the milk (it's expensive)i normally pour out his leftover milk and add in some cereal for him,since he likes solid food more than milk milk.
Oh yes,i'm giving him Galactis as a supplement, this is recommended by a pharmacist. It helps to boost his brain development and immune system. This is kind of DHA+AA+SA..kind of fish oil...it's in liquid form, smells very fishy, i can't stand the smell, but Luckily Gary is ok with it. Phew....

I feel a bit sad when i left him to baby sitter every working morning,but he looks happy, can't wait to get down from his car seat.Heard from baby sitter, he starts to know the clocking is ticking....every eveing after bath and his porridge time, he starts to make noise to go out from the house, it's time to go home :)

Lately if time persists, i will bring him to the playground to mix with other kids, let him see how "koko and ceh ceh" walk..run...and play. Hope with the influece of other big boys,he will be brave enough to move his first step without me holding his hands.

Boy, you gotta be brave!!!!

Garbage enzyme

I came to know about this useful thing and yet natural some time ago from a colleague,only knowing the wonderful cleaning power last weekend. My ex-neighbour gave me a container of garbage enzyme to try out.After hearing so many good comments aBout this garbage enzyme, i decided to go for a try.

I diluted the enzyme in 1:10 ratio in a bucket to mop the floor, result is superb and comparable to those chemical floor cleaner that widely found in the shopping complex. This enzyme is safer as it's chemical free, good for those families who have babies.

Garbage enzymes have been proven to be powerful and effective natural organic floor cleaner, household cleaning liquid, laundry washing, cleaning cars and amazingly drive away insects!

Making your own garbage enzymes are easy and it can be done in at home with the rubbish that you usually throw away. below are the simple steps.





Some hints:

1. Only vegetables are fruits waste are recommended.Among all fruits, pineapples, citrus and papaya give the best smell.

2. Brown sugar or organic sugar results better, do not use normal white sugar.

3. Once a while (maybe 2-3 days) open the lid of the container to release the gas during fermentation process.

4. The longer you store it, the stronger it’ll be and once done, you can use it for all the following uses with the right dilution.



It is the ultimate organic cleaning agent and is totally chemical free, safe for everyone in your family.So, save money on cleaning agents while caring for the environment!

I attended my brother's marriage registration till 1pm,left Gary at home with my MIL coz foresee this would be long session. Luckily we can have little chat and snacks to buy time.

Maid

I'm having a maid with me to help out the daily house works as well as looking after Gary when i'm on bio breaks, shower time....etc. It's not meant to take care of Gary but i just need some one to help out as i'm always alone.
During day time when i'm at work, i sent my maid to a friend's house to help out, this suppose to be a win-win situation , i do not have to fear of maid runaway .
Things changed where this friend of mine is going to move out soon from where she stay now which is pretty close to my house, and she decided to have her own maid. The hassle of looking for maids, chasing agents, thinking of where to locate the maid during day times....etc..starts again.
I have been asked around to see if any of my friends want to have maid to help up during day time, even offer to my baby sitter. Surprisingly, no one is interested to have another pair of hands.....even if it's FOC!!!!
Well, i called my agent to cancel my hiring, guess what... i have enough for these stress out. My decision is either i keep the current one or i do not need one at all, will look for hourly maid for house work.The problem with thte current one wil need to send back to Indonesia due to some medical problem, but out of nothign this one will be the bet choice if i need one maid to stay at home.
