I think when the time I blog about this I must be very tire from the day work, because now I read again I feel like I didn’t write the below blog at all.

My mom had gone back to Singapore do confinement for my younger brother’s wife, she just gave birth to a baby boy, so I have to go back to the bakery to help my father, tag along the twins, I a bit breathless.
(The bakery suppose to close down, but no buyer yet, so still running by my parent without any staff. But already told the landlord will rent until end of next month, which is my SIL actual EED, but her son decided to come out one month earlier to celebrate the mother’s day, so everything not according plan liao, that’s why I am on ermegency now.)

Guess this month (confinement take about one month right?) I wouldn’t have time to blog as usual, but will still blog hopping, sorry if don’t see my comment (wah, cheh! Like my comment very important) (actually comment is very important, blogger know I did read right?).

Anyway…

10:00am—all woke up (reluctantly, mommy and Isabelle, Annabelle very on routine wan).

10:15am—all clean up and changed.

10:30am—all have their milk (twins, forgot to give them cereal, anyway there are a lot of cake and cookies in bakery, who worry?) and Milo.

10:45am—called MIL (who suggest mommy send the girls to BIL#2 house, was agree, now cancel, tomorrow still tag along the girls, and tomorrow have to make buns, I guess give them a dough to play with should able to keep them occupy until the work done, pray).

10:50am—all down stair, twins holding hand, mommy carry the bag fill with their milk, extra pants, and emergency diapers. Ah! Almost forgot, bring along a safety gate which took out from the corridor to washing machine (forgot to bring back the safety gate).

11:00am—ta da da…we arrived to our destination – my father’s bakery (the shelf rather empty liao, so as the store room, my father just buy few stacks of eggs, no longer buy eggs in thousands which can fill 1/4 of the store room).

11:30am—settle down the twins with cup of water and spoon (their fav. activity in the shop), plus some coconut bun (they only eat half of it, I have to finish the rest, that was my breakfast), mommy started to work. And the safety gate I brought don’t fit the door, so have to keep an eye to them most of the time (put the cake on the pinner then glance at the girls; apply cream on the cake then glance on the girls; few stroke on the cake then glance on the girls; so on).

12:30pm—mommy finished all the cake decoration, in between this one hour have to rush the twins to the toilet with my greasy hand, because my toilet train are too successful, they refused to pee in the diapers *sigh* and *smile* in the same time (every half an hour or so tell me they want to pee, and the toilet in the shop is the squat type, they refused to squat, and don’t know how to squat too, saw the hole they scare, so I ended up using a empty small bucket for them to sit, I’m so clever!).

01:00pm—Grandpa ta-bao back mixed rice, feed the twins and feed myself (go ta-bao too late liao, all dishes gone, only steam egg, fried egg, and tao-fu, still yummy because hungry ah…).

01:45pm—finished lunch, look after the shop with the twins while waiting for grandpa who gone for his afternoon nap (my father had gone to market early in the morning 5am, so he will nap after some work have done in the afternoon, and wake up continue again).

03:00pm—gave the twins their milk hope they will nap in the office, failed (actually they don’t use to the sofa in the office).

03:15pm—grandpa woke up, start packing slices of cake in the plastic container for tomorrow market. And at the same time entertain the twins with cake decoration item—figurine, miniature umbrella, flower etc (exhausted! almost want to give them some cream to play with).

04:30pm—work done, called daddy pick us up (*phew* luckily not 5pm yet, otherwise Old Klang Road will be very jam).

05:00pm—reach home, daddy back to office, mommy bath the dirty twins, and greasy self (Twinsdad said never see me so greasy like this for so long liao) .

05:30pm—the twins knocked out on the sofa while watching Richard Scarry Learning Song VCD. Mommy replied comment, and read some blog (I should have knock out as well then).

07:00pm—twins woke up, mommy cook dinner (fried a quick udon mee for evryone).

08:00pm—finished dinner (baru wash all the dishes).

08:30pm—daddy home, mommy blogging (sleep blogging).

bakery work is very tiring, even more tiring is with the two girls, have to watch out for them most of the time, don’t near the oven, don’t near the mixer (luckily the mixer place on the table, very high, my parent can’t bend down for long to mind the mixer), don’t poke hole on the decoration done birthday cake (which they did, have to redo), don’t go outside the shop, afraid of being snatch (read too much newspaper, very scary), don’t open the fridge take the cake or can drink out, don’t mess the merchandise etc.

but…when no other choice we still have to do it, so LETS DO IT!
If I can handle two babies without maid, I sure can handle two toddler in the bakery, so who scare of who? let the horse come (fang ma guo lai 放马过耒 ) .
