Been busy

These few days i have not been writing my blog as Joe was not feeling well and I had been busy. He probably caught stomach flu. He is now feeling better and able to scold the kids already. When he was sick, he was too weak to discipline them and the kids were very well-mannered. They tried to keep their volume down when playing.

On thursday I went to buy mooncake for him as he was supposed to bring to office on Friday. He and another colleague had volunteered to share the mooncakes with their non-chinese colleagues. In the end, I bought 2 boxes as kids were saying they wanted to eat too. Joe said no egg yolks for his colleagues and the one we had had one yolk inside. The mooncakes were really delicious. Made in Hongkong and they were not really sweet. 2 boxes cost us $28 so it's really not expensive. In singapore, 2 boxes would probably cost us $50.

On Friday I sent Joe to his office and then we came back home. After fetching kids from school, we went to Art lesson. Marrickville was near Joe's office so we went there to see whether the left overs were kept probably. To Joe's surprise, there were no more left and the knife was left unwash with the empty box. See! All over the world there are uncivilised people who never know what is consideration means.

After Art lesson, we went to a new Korean restaurant for dinner. we had eel rice, pork chop with fries, stonebowl vegetable rice and dumplings. I find the food here not as tasty as the Korean restaurant at Woolworths. The meal cost us $57 and that is considered quite cheap la.

On Saturday, the day was really warm. We spent the day at home. Children played in the backyard till lunch time. After lunch, they went for their Chinese lesson for 3 hrs in the afternoon. I told them I would cook special dinner for them so before we fetched them, we went to woolworths to buy the ingredients. We were going to have western food so we bought potatoes, steak and other stuff. I sent the children to the park with Joe and rushed back to cook dinner. children enjoyed the dinner very much and we still have some leftovers.

This morning I cooked pies with the leftovers. i put beef chunks, mixed vegetables, mashed potaotes and mushroom in the pies. The outcome is really nice. The pie machine is well -used at home and kids love having pies.

After lunch,we decided to go out to the National PArk but before we could get there, it started to rain cats and dogs. We made a detour and went to Ikea instead. We had meals there and bought a few items. I bought the meatballs back and so we had meatballs with baked rice for dinner. Now feeling rather tired after all the walking.

Okay that's all for today now wanna go rest already.
