All in a day
This morning, I didn't cook for my boy and girl. Why? Cos the boy wanted me to get to the shop earlier as he wanted to get his hair cut for the new year.
I just managed to fry a few pieces of bread dipped in beaten eggs with brown sugar. So off the boy went to shop first while the girl went out for badminton.
Without wasting time, I quickly made some 'bak kean' for the new year.
Just 8 and three more longer ones
Keep them in the freezer.
But I needed to prepare my own lunch. Thus I fried some rice and tapau to the shop. I had some leftovers fried chicken so I steamed them.
After my bath, I quickly hanged clothes and zoomed I drove to the shop. I was late 15 minutes.
Upon reaching the shop, I quickly had my lunch. Otherwise, I would never have the time to do so.
I noticed that there was a plastic bottle of pineapple tarts for me.
Yummy! My favorite cookie.
Thanks to my boss's friend.
After a short while, a salesperson came with a delicious butter cake. It's for the shop. So I cut it and distributed to all my staff and workers.
I gave some to one of my favorite little customer too.
After all the excitement, the boss asked me to prepare ang pow for his staff.
I had calculated the amount beforehand.
So I just needed to get the boss's approval
and started getting those fat ang pows ready.
Given to the staff and they were happy.
I made sure that they thanked the boss
and said some well wishes.
Apart from the above, I also received a full moon gift which had the salted chicken, eggs and the ang ku. I myself ate the 2 ang ku and 2 red eggs.
Kept the salted chicken for dinner. Didn't go out for our usual Friday dine-out as it was raining heavily.
Tomorrow, my other kids will be back for the new year. I still need to work tomorrow but I won't be at the shop on Sunday which is the eve of the Chinese New Year.
