Korean dinner

Today, hubby and I went for a walk along cottosloe beach. We walked for 1 hour on path and on the sand. Almost wanted to give up while walking on the sand, is really resistance and endurance training. I m so proud of hubby because he is quite determine on losing weight. Where else i m the lazy one. But i told hubby that if he lose weight, i will be motivated.

While walking, hubby says he has craving for korean BBQ, and we decided to DIY. After exercise, we drove to the supermarket, we bought beef, spring onions and capsicum. In less than 30mins, we finished preparing. We used the portable stove(the house provided ceramic stove) and normal cooking pan, it actually does a good job, dont need to buy those special one.

We had a really satisfied meal. :) 

Darling, xoxoxo 

Mr Oink's cooking and In the making- House Part 9

Hello. Today I like to share with you some photos. Firstly, the top two photos are dishes cooked by my beloved hubby. He is improving on his cooking. Recently, i had to work till quite late, so Mr Oink volunteered to cook for me with love... So sweet.. 

Can you tell the similarity of the photos? haha, is all the same colour! :p But I loved it. Muack!

Yesterday, we went walking along the beach. Beautiful sunset and quite a pleasant weather. We walked on path and sand. I think walking on sand is a good training and less harmful to the knees because the ground is soft.

The photos below are the recent pictures of our lovely house. The ceilings and the cornering is up. Windows and doors are installed too. Cant wait... 

oops!

Today, as usual I went to work. I went to this old lady and i suppose to shower her, give her medication and make her a cuppa. She let go of some gases when we are in the shower. So she ask me to open the door, she says she lost her smell of smell and taste, but wanted me to get some fresh air. After that, i did the same thing i did the last time for the coffee, i put coffee, sugar, hot water and milk. Today, she says that the coffee taste weird. 

In my mind, i was thinking, i thought you lost your sense of taste. Anyway, I said i did the same thing as last time, nothing unusual. But she said it it really weird and i decided to make any cup. This time round, i got suspicious of the jar of sugar, i decided to taste it. Oh no, it was salt! My, my, i feel so terrible for being so blur. Finally, she got her real cup of coffee(which mean the last time was with salt too).

Another client asked me to scrub her bathroom, you know when the grouts get really dirty. I tried my best but couldnt get the stain off. I tell her I will try on Wednesday again.

My favourite client, Mr OA, is admitted to hospital. :( I really hope he will get well soon.

Feelings...

We have been trying... Yet, there is no good result.

We have been spending heaps n heaps of money on it.. Yet, what did we get?

I m losing hope, i m discourage... Why is it that we have to go through this?

He says, "Dont give up! This is a test.". I said, "maybe is enough."

This might be the last time I wanna try... I will not spend more on it.

We spend a few thousand already, we are very tight with all the oncoming things.

Maybe is now or never...

about my job so far..

Yoyo. I think I got a pretty interesting job as well as depressing job. I decided to give aged care a go. So far I m enjoying it. I got a number of clients, age range from 70 to 95. Most of them live by themselves and they are very lonely people.

My job scope includes, domestic, personal care, shopping and etc. I enjoyed doing grocery shopping for one of the lady. So far I got no luck to get jobs that bring the old to go out and play or have tea. 

My favourite client is Mr OA, he lives with his wife in a huge house and at a expensive estate. He has dementia but most of the time he can remember my name. I see him like 4 times a week, I need to shower and shave him and also help the wife to clean the huge house. I provide respite as well so that Mrs OA can take a break from looking after Mr OA. Mrs OA ask me to encourage Mr OA to go for a walk. I told Mr OA that I need to lose weight and he happily went for short walk with me, sometimes up to two times. Every time as we walked, he will give me ideas to lose weight, like jogging, cycling and brisk walking. And he told his wife that I love to walk. Haha. 

Few days ago, I went to attend to him, but he was pretty weak, he couldnt stand properly and was pretty wobbly. My heart just sadden, I m so sad to see their health weaken as days go by. Yesterday, the wife told me that he got some infection and now on medication. I prayed that he will get well soon.

Another client of mine(actually I m helping a colleague for 3 weeks), Mr JS, I have to shower him alone. When i first got to his place, the house stink with urine smell. I almost faint. He is quite a nice guy. The second visit to his house, he started to say something weird and not pleasant to my ears. and the third visit, i told myself that it is going to be my last visit. He didnt do anything to me, is only that the things he said was very strange. Anyway, my co-ordinator understands the situation and tells me not to go back.

Mr MJ, he is 93 years old. Every time i visit him, he will tells me that he misses his wife(who has pass away). I can understand how they feel. Imagine living alone in a big house, nobody to talk to and nothing much to do. They usually wake up around 5 am and sleep at 9pm, it is such a long day for them. I enjoy going to Mr MJ because i need to cook for him. I think the life of the aged is really simple, he basically has steak, potatoe and peas for dinner everyday.

Well, still got lots more to tell, but i m getting lazy.. ;p That's all for now.

Nicole's baby shower

Nicole is going to give birth to a baby boy, Reuben, in 5 weeks time. I went to the baby shower last Saturday. We have delicious food and a few games. I m not a very sporting person, so i tried escaping the games by being the camera woman. haha.

Anyway, I only know a few people at the shower. I think i m quite shy when i see new people. (haha, actually i think I m more antisocial.)

The first game is to guess the waistline of the pregnant woman. And guess what, her waistline is similar to mine and I m not pregnant. 

Second game is to guess the flavors of the baby food.. i didnt try, but those who play the game say they will never feed their baby with the processed can baby food because it simply taste yucky! I think natural food is better!

Lastly, rhymes crossword! I totally failed it. No childhood. My mum tell me those rhymes in mandarin leh...

When will it be my turn... *pout*

BBT and Bread

We went for bubble tea. The bubble tea here is expensive and pearls like very little. Anyway, better than nothing right? We manage to find a bread shop that is quite similar to Singapore one.

Pork floss bun and delicious looking cakes... Yummy! How to lose weight? Watever!

I think is a trend now to take photo with a pout. 

My brothers birthday are coming.. I miss them... sobs..

In the making- House Part 8

Blogging isnt easy for me. I couldnt think of what to write and I feel that everyday is like the same to me. But, trying not to disappoint my best friend, I think I better scribble something. haha.

Jason and I went to look at our baby. We are so excited that we need to visit every week. It is so excited to watch it grow(like real, more like build). Anyway, that's right, our cosy little cottage on the way to completion. Hopefully will be ready by December.

So, new photos of our house. They cemented the walls and the ceiling boards are up. Good job isnt it? 

In the making- House Part 7

The roof is finally up... And they done the cement too. :) But of course, they asking for more payment now. 

Was Disappointed yesterday that Aussie Dollar went down. Now Singapore Dollar is higher...

Hope things will be better before my trip back to Singapore. heehee

Movie Night

We went to the movie "WALL.E" with a group of young friends. Nice show and it is really romantic. Eva.... Walleeee... Haha
