Mother's Day 2012

12.05.2012 Saturday

I have a great mom..she has been taking care of us by herself since Im at the age of 6yrs old. My dad left us to another woman..so you can imagine how tough for my mom to take care 3 children all by herself.
My mom is a good chef (on typical chinese food etc hakka & nyonya style).
She can cooked most dishes and good soups for us. . Even her grandchildren love her cooking .
So I was thinking, what to cook for her during mother's day. I want to cook something special and something that she never cook before. So I came up with this menu.

1) Prosperous Pot (Shanghainese stye)
2) Otak-Otak (Thai style)
3) Okinomiyaki (Japanese pancake)

What i did on the Okinomiyaki is we fried it using the electrical multi cooker whenever we want to eat . So everyone kind of quite enjoying to fry the pancake themself and less work for me..kekeke.

I'm glad that my mom , enjoying herself and she likes the food a lot. ..hehehe.

Happy Mother's Day !

An Unforgetable Old Friend

 

 

This post has been drafted for quite sometime as I was wondering should I post it here or not . Anyway, decided to post it so i can read it whenever i feel like reading it.

Recently, someone found me in FB and his appearance make me recall back a lot of our past which are really happy and sweet moment. Here is the story about myself and him.

I met him at my first working place in Singapore and Im just a QC there and he was a technician in workshop dept. I really don't know how he started to notice me. Myself as usual serious when im working ..suddenly someone pull my ponytail and give me a smile. The fisrt impression i got...oh who is he and he look cute and friendly. So, i just response back a smile to him. Thats how we started to know each other by just smiling when we happen to see each other at factory . I realise he do peep on me whenever I walked by his dept same it goes to me will peep to see whether is he looking at me ..i guess this is a very natural reaction when you know someone likes you and you dont hate him either..

At that time, I already had a boyfriend which he is more cool but caring type of man.

I can't remember when and how we started to come out together. At that time, my existing boyfriend has been transfered to another place and probably thats how we started to see each other. I was only 20+ at that time and truly enjoying being love, romantic etc...He really know how to cheer me up and im always laugh and happy whenever we met up. He knew i have a boyfriend and he did not expect me to commit the relationship with him and I guess he is probably not sure how much he can commit to me either.

We have been together for almost 6months i guess..really not sure .We only met up over the weekend and sometime only twice a month as he needs to go back for reservice in army camp. Finally, is time to make my decision .
When I told him my choice, he is being nice and respect my choice. At that time, I was wondering why is he not asking me to stay....Maybe he is being gentleman to respect my choice or he probably not sure himself how he feel about me??. He enjoyed the companion but thats doesn't mean he can commit the relationship with me?? All these questions being pop up in my brain... Probably because of this, I believed I make a right choice. This way will keep our sweet memory in our heart before it turns sour.

Thats how I ended the relationship with this old friend for more than 10years

Recently, he found me in FB and Im so exciting to see him and knowing his current status. He still the same with his cheerful & babyface. We started to chat with each other online and Im so glad that he still remembered every single moment in our past. He still remembered that I ever told him that he might not be a good husband to me but could be a good lover...hahaha. Well, Im sure he don't want to be my lover when he sees me now...hahaha.

Anyway, I wish to say thank you to him for being remembered me and make me feel proud about it. Honestly, till now I still not sure why is he likes me cause Im such an ordinary lady  . He already married with a daughter and Im sure his wife is someone that really taking good care of him as I can see his happiness and youthful face..I feel very happy that he found someone who can give all her love to him and take care of him.

Lastly, I wish him all the best and happy forever...

Langkawi trip - April 2012

Let me count...oh my god is almost a year that I have not been blogging here..feel so bad. Well, sometime my life is just too simple and nothing much happen around me to blog about. Besides..busy busy at work and home, no time also.  That's why im kind of missing in action for a while..so, please excuse me ya.

Recently, we just went to Langkawi to celebrate my girl birthday there. Sounds proud ya ..but actually is not really la.
She is the only child at home and I thought since we need to take a break , must well just choose a special day to do it. Thats how and why we go Langkawi in April ..

We stayed there for 4days 3nites...sounds long and boring isn't it. Thats our first thought as well cause nothing much in Langkawi except duty free shopping etc..However, out of our suprise the duration is just nice and we really re-charged our battery in this trip. We were given a nice chalet in Berjaya Resort..and my girl is so exciting seeing the pools & the facilities there.

Basically, we just went out shopping on our 1st day of arrival and had our dinner at Kuah, visiting the huge Eagle and had their famous nasi lemak at Dataran Lang. Is quite far to travel from Berjaya Resort to Kuah town..anyway, we done this bit and bought whatever we need to buy at the dutyfree shop on the 1sday.

2nd day, we had our b'fast at the balcony after a long sleep at nite. Enjoying the green scenery and rainforest surrounding us. At that moment, I tell myself this kind of life is really great. The coffee and bread is nice & tasty, just because we are having it in a different enviroment. Usually, i don;t eat bread on weekend..We ate on weekday in a rush cause we need to start work on time..etc. We don't have the time to slowly taste the bread and the coffee at all..
After breakfast , we spend our time in the resort swmming, sun bathing, beach activites..etc. After all these, is time to take our afternoon nap.  Then we go Pantai Cenang for our sunset dinner at Light House Restaurant and shopping again...at nite, as usual we enjoyed our alcohol drinks and snacks at nite..chatting a lot with hubby . He speak a lot during holiday..wierd guy huh, but I like it..hahaha

3rd day, same breakfast and we went to Oriental village , thought of trying the cable car unfortunately they closed for maintenance. So we just walk around , feeding fish and horse riding...sound boring but my girl enjoying it ..so what to say about it. We as parent will feel happy too when you see your child's happy all the time. Go back to hotel , rest. Daddy and girl take nap and mommy (me) go for spa. The massage and the spa in the rainforest..is really different. Dinner time, we had a luxury one in the hotel , slowly enjoying our buffet dinner in the cafe near the swimming pool with the breeze from the beach. The sound of the wave ..is really comfortable & relax.

Last day,  we had breakfast at the hotel and went for a short swim after the breakfast. Check out around 12pm and time to fly back to KL.

After reading my blog, do you agree with me that 4D 3N are not that long and boring anymore. Some people likes to do shopping a lot during their holiday. For us, prefer more on the relaxing type instead. Well, different people has different perspective so just do what you think is enjoying yourself.

Here are some pictures to share on these trip. I just picked a few as the rest has been uploaded in my FB.

CNY 2011

Look at my pet (Sugar)..can u see she is smiling in this picture...cute ya...hahaha

She act like a model on this day to show off her new clothing for CNY ..

This one is the mommy want to show off the flower blossom...kekeke

Is been long time that I've not updating my blog. Anyway, will try my very best to update at least once in a month.

Above are the few pictures showing my daughter & my pet with their new clothing. We do not celebrate much for this CNY as my father in law were just past away not long ago. Thus, we have to keep it low profile this year. As usual, we went back hometown for CNY but feel weird this year as the elderly are no longer there. Luckily, I've a good sister in law who is good in cooking and she handle everything eversince my mom in law has passed away.

Lets forget about the sadness and tomorrow will be better and better.

03rd Jan 2011 - Picture I like

I don't know why ..but i just love these pictures..here sweet smiling face is really attractive.
She is my daughter Xin Yi and she is going to 3yrs old. She got a lovely face with tanned skin.
Everybody asking me the same question , is she mix , your husband is not a chinese?
And my std answer will be, no my husband is chinese. Her skin colour followed my mother in law . God is fair...he gave her a sweet face but not a fair skin. Anyway, the colour is not important as long as she is healthy and be a good girl.

31st Dec 2010 - Last day of SweetSense

This day is our last day and Sweet Sense will be ceased from 01st Jan 2011.

Is a bit sad to ceased the business but I guess we have no choice in order to make everyone happy and relief with the current tight shcedule that we encountered.

Anyway, I learned a lot along the way and build the interest on baking although im still not that perfect but at least I've done it...and Im quite satisfied with myself at this stage.

Biz is stopped doesn't mean I will stop baking. I will continue baking when im free and will definitely share my experience here.

Here are a few of our last cupcake project for wedding .

Pineapple Yogurt Cake

It has been a while that I've stopped my posting here as well as baking reason is my maid has gone home and I've no helper to handle my daughter and the house whore. Is been a tough time for me to juggle everything with litte time i have ..sigh. Really tiring. Beside I've been fall sick so easily lately. Probably, my busy schedule and stresses at work...pai mia.

Nevertheless, I still baked when im in the mood. The last time i baked this Pineapple Yogurt Cake was sometime Oct and I promised is really really tasty. The tangy flavour will make you keep on eating it and so hard to stop it. The recipe is so easy, simply follow my recipe of the plain yogurt cake in my last post and add on some fresh pineapple chunck on top of the batter and bake it till it cooks. It tends to have some burning stain on the pineapple but is fine as that is the effect of the caramelised of the natural sugar from the pineapple itself.

Here are the pictures of my pineapple yogurt cakes via iphone. You can see the texture of cake slice, is so moisture and fine...yummy.
