It was a tough week the past 6 days with the onset of my youngest son's complications due to partial bowel obstruction. Thank God at this time when I am typing this, he is getting better and has started to drink and eat orally. We did not go to Aunt's house yesterday, but instead, we attended my eldest son's school's Sports Day and Entrepreneurship Day.
Saturday be like...
Sports Day & Entrepreneurship Day
This will be the last year my son will be here at his primary school, next year he will move on to another school for secondary school. We thank God there is no more restriction like the past few years, this year, all parents are allowed to join the events. Yay! We were thrilled. Since my son was not chosen for any Sports competition, he got appointed to be cashier and in charge to sell drinks at beverage kiosk.
It was an encouragement to see students having the eagerness to learn how to sell things, calculate the money and then counting the earnings.
Besides drinks, there were other kiosks too, selling egg tarts, stationeries, corn in the cup and tomyam fishballs. Everyone was doing their part and being responsible.
After walking around the kiosks, we walked to where the sports day was held because my niece was participating in running relay. Go go my niece in blue team!
My youngest son was feeling extra tired because he yet to eat properly yet, in fact 4 days of insufficient food. Luckily there is a mamak nearby in 3-minute walk, we got to sit down awhile to rest while waiting for the events to be done. I was hungry by then, so I ordered a 'roti telur' aka Indian flat bread with egg's filling and lentil curry and fish curry for dipping. Super delicious. I shared this with my husband.
Lunch at Lai Lai Ong
Finally, at about 12pm, the events at school were done.
We walked back to school, and saw the students clearing up miscellaneous rubbish as well as flatten the aluminum can for recycling purpose. Great job to all teachers and students. So proud of them!
At another coffee shop called Lai Lai Ong, we had our fast lunch due to I have tutoring job later.
I ordered for myself a bowl of noodle soup with preserved vegetables. This was most suitable one because my tired body was craving for something super tasty. The sourishness from the soup somehow opened up my appetite. A very satisfying bowl of noodle.
We ordered an apple juice and bread butter kaya toast for my youngest son.
Husband ordered a fried noodle mamak which was surprisingly very wok-hei fried and flavourful. Maybe a little too salty for taste but overall delicious.
My eldest son ordered Thai-style fried rice which came with super delicious fried chicken bites too. This was one of the highly recommended one from this stall.
Sunday be like...
My eldest son woke up feeling tired and a bit runny nose, so I decided to skip church so that the children could rest at home. Felt abit weird of not attending church because going to church every Sunday is our routine and joy.
Quickly, I cooked a minced pork porridge with carrots and potatoes for the boys. Super simple to cook actually.
As for myself, I want to avoid carbs today as I ate a lot on Saturday, so I steamed a bowl of egg with minced pork, seasoned with soy sauce. Yummy!
I pray that everyone be well soon, especially all the children. I heard from my brother that his daughters are not well too. Bless them to recover soon.
