Past Saturday have been good, Patrick Hubby suddenly got this weird feeling of doing up a small celebration with good food at home! He decided on fried chicken wings, fishballs, sushi rolls, spring rolls, curry puffs, fried prawn ball, etc... I asked our dear sis Chean Pin to join in the fun! Concidentally, she's suffering from serious loss of blood and stomach cramps since her aunt's visiting her for the month. Poor girl, anywhere I forced her to join in, we picked her up in our car with Bryan before going off to the supermart for mass purchase of all the necessary ingredients...

Over at the supermart, we went round with our trolley sourcing high and low for the ingredients. We lugged all the stuff home, with Chean Pin still suffering from her yucky symptons. Me and hubby proceeded with the necessary preparation once we reached home, we got Chean Pin to relax in our room with the kids screaming and jumping around her. Hubby decided to warm a bottle of chicken essence to give to her in case she faint, we still cannot figure out why she's so skinny. Whenever she goes out with our family, my 3 sons look overfed whenever they are standing together... people must be gossiping we are horrible dad and mum whom gave all the good foods to our sons while the daughter is deprive of good food and works like a cinderella at home!! She's alarmingly skinny to the bones, you could practically snap her hand in two like a stick.

Hubby was really good today, he took care of all the frying stuff while Chean Pin and I settle the sushi roll stuff. We had luncheon meat cut into strips / japanese cucumber / tuna / carrot strips / egg / etc. Chean Pin did most of the rolling up while I was in charge of the cutting part. I got her to pack some home for her dad and mum.

Finishing with the cooking, hubby proceeded to do food presentation, ensuring all food were arranged nicely on plates before laying them on the table. The kids were excited and started to gather around, we proceeded to gobble up the food. Great day, relaxing at home with your lovely family members round a table of piping hot food.

Chean Pin had to be packed off home at about 1830hours since she's not staying due to her visiting aunt! No choice, hubby and I drove her back home after we stopped over at Salvation Army's Family Thrift Store. Tons of stuff there and first time we visited, hubby is wary of that place which might be filled with fleas since most of the stuff are donated by people. But I assure him that the stuff are cleaned up properly and we are just going to take a look. Many stuff there, imagine a knee lenght winter jacket with lovely fur trimmings around the cap area, going only for S$30!!! Wow!

Sunday, lazy lazy stay at home day, hubby and I only went out of the house to buy breakfast. And in the evening, when we decided to go pack dinner home, the car wouldn't start! Agrhhh! Hubby was in a really foul mood, we proceeded to walk to the market and he grumbled away about what could be the problem and how is he going to be absence from work when it's a Monday the next day.... But by the time we are having dinner, he's starting to feel better, and he decided to apply for leave to stay home so the car technician guy could drop by to check on the car.

(The next morning....) technician came to check, luckily it's only the battery problem and not some costly faults! *sigh of relief*
