Holding on

 Life goes on.

The MCO, CMCO, RMCO that implemented on us since the beginning of the month. Every day we are bombarded with stats and news of the pandemic, locally and internationally. Indeed life has changed since 2020, and the pandemic does not seemed to slow down. Our fight isn't over yet.

Putting this aside, we also have to brave ourselves with our own problems and dilemma. 

Work-wise, hubby has a new boss to report to this year. More demand, more pressure from this new boss. It isn't easy to work at such dire time.

At home, the kids are holding on well by staying indoor most of 2020. And for the first time in history, 2021 schools are conducted via online classes. So more staying at home for students this year. I don't have much worry for the 2 older kids as they are independent and able to manage their own time and schoolworks.

Jamie on the other hand has been a handful, both in academic and health. He is not so into books and study but I do not pressure him much since he was in Primary 1 last year. Of course there is always concern at the back of my mind on whether he can catch up this year since a lot of hiccups in 2020.

We brought him see Chinese physician last month for his eczema and skin problem. We are at lost of how to treat him as his condition does not seemed to improve lately. 

However thank God that his skin improved few days before schools supposed to reopen. l brought him to skin clinic in nearby government health clinic on 15th. After taking the necessary medicines and applying creams, his skin is getting much better. Follow up early February at the skin clinic. 

This 2 months we have been busy cleaning and clearing up the downstair room for my mother-in-law. We are preparing a room for her when she is coming to stay with us.

The room used to be hubby's study room so many stuff and collection in it. Some we moved to our upstair hall, just outside our bedroom. Others we threw away or gave away.

One Sunday we went to Boulevard mall to hunt for her bed and wardrobe. The kids were at home. We spent some times at Boulevard supermarket and then SSF. After that, a quick lunch in Boulevard restaurant. It has been months since we came here for dim sum breakfast.


But no, both of us did not have dim sum that day. However we did ordered a few for takeaway. Both of us had roasted duck rice instead. Tastewise, it wasn't that good. The rice was tasteless, not fragrant and oily like other places. I prefer the roasted duck rice from Hong Kong Noodle House and Imperial Duck.

  1. The rice looks like a lot. Too bad it wasn't tasty. Must be a lot of work to prepare the room for your mother inlaw to stay. Will she be moving in with you all permanently?

    1. Up to her. Maybe stay few weeks, few months and go back Kapit. But now because of CMCO, she can't travel. So this year, only us in Kuching.

  2. I ate at Hing Kong a long long time ago, the outlet at Wisma Saberkas. Was very good then, dunno now. Saw the one at Padungan, did not get to go. Heard a lot about Imperial Duck, never went. What you had looks a lot nicer than the ones in Sibu - maybe roast duck not a Foochow thing. They usually cook ang chao. I like it phak lor.

  3. Hope everything works out well for you and your family. These are terrible times, so depressing. I am used to not going out but the terrible news every day does get a person down. Doesn't look like it is going to get better.

  4. The rice looks like plain white rice no wonder it is not fragrant and oily.

  5. I like roasted duck when the meat is tender. I don't mind eating plain rice with roasted duck if the duck meat is nice.

  8. There are so many SSF outlets here in KL and I love to look at all their items. Their prices are very expensive and everything is imported from Guangzhou.
