My Smoky Chilie Crabs Ala Me...

It was my first attempt trying to cook chilie crab. I had it before in some local restaurants but a good chilie crab can cost around 35 kg per kg. So, I decided to try it myself. Aaqil and I had this for dinner yesterday....with some herbal chicken soup and keropok melinjau and just a steamed chap chye. Although O is always not around during dinner time due to his workload...we both had a good time at our dining room early last night. Aaqil turned in to bed at 8 pm yesterday and I felt like a good achievement since he had been sleeping later and later in the past. I had my own ME time, chatting with a friend and watched my favourite soap opera till midnight. Being a housewife ...i can say sometimes is a beautiful mess..haha....

Smokieee...smokieee.....mommy....i see fire....Aaqil uttered...

Ladang Kambing di Singapura..

One of our favourite hangout in Singapore believe it or not is Hay Dairies located at Lim Chu Kang. It is a small goat farm and they are producing milk for sale from 1000s of mixed goat breed. According to the Hay Dairies owner, goat's milk is the next best thing to mother's milk. In fact, it is a good substitute to breast feeding infants as it is easily digested and assimilated by a infant's digestive system. I have no comment on that. Me and O find the fresh goat's milk delicious and different...Yalah....asyik makan fresh cow milk...We visit this farm once a month and last weekend we brought my brother who came all the way from Kedah to this place...hahah....He enjoyed feeding the goat and of course Aaqil..so busy feeding and petting those goats....

My bro...working in penang..still single and available...but he is a bit reserved!@

Aaqil feeding baby goat...He used to be afraid but now..he loves goat more than a cat...

Bapak is very natural with animals.....

Breast-stroke from A Breast-milk fan..

Aaqil has turned 3 years last July. I am super pro breastfeeding mommy so Aaqil is still a breastfed baby..oppsss toddler. I thank GOD for giving me supply and strength to breastfeed Aaqil day and night. I thank GOD for being able to ignore abt what people said in breastfeeding a toddler (budak dah besar katanye).

Disclaimer: This is not a bragging post...Just to encourage mothers that it is POSSIBLE to breastfeed your baby as long as you want.
