New FamiLy

I have to change my skin. Turned out not only Ria complained about it but Suli and Bell as well. So ta-daaa.... new skin again hehehe....

These were my dinner last night :

Stir-Fry Bok Choy With Tofu

Pork With Pasta

I lurve the taste of the 1st one coz I'm a veggie lover. Pork with Pasta is a bit sweet for my liking and it's just weird when pasta cooked in Asian style. So I'm not going to put that recipe in my book even though Sam said he likes it. We are so different. He likes sweet while I like my food a bit salty.

See the new addition in my aquarium!

Ikan sapi2

Ikan tweety

Don't ask me why they are called that but that's what the aquarium guy told me. I don't even know what they are called in English but they are cute, right? Sooo fat and it's so funny seeing their fins moving so fast in order to keep their balance. It's hard for me to take a decent pic of them coz the Ikan tweety is sooo shy that it always hides whenever I go near the tank. As for the Ikan sapi2, it's hard to take a pic of them from the side. Whenever I try to do that, they will stare back at me as if they know what I'm doing!

Time to get ready now. Going to Senci in awhile. Not sure yet what we'll have for lunch but thinking of trying something new.

I'm feeling so much better even though I haven't totally recovered yet. Thanks to this medicine I bought from Aussie called EASEaCOLD. I just took it last night and this morning and already I'm feeling the improvement.

Yesterday we had these for dinner :

Cah Brokoli

Ayam Goreng Kecap

Yes, I cook them myself in case u are wondering. Need to stress this out coz most of the time I buy rather than cook hehehe....

I also tried to make banana pudding but I don't like the taste of it. Now I learned that I shouldn't try to cook something without any pics.

This morning, I found this website Hey, Cupcakes~! that have many, many beautiful pics of cupcakes. If u guys look at them, I guarantee you will drool. They look so pretty!

That's all for now...need to get ready to fetch Casey.

MakinG PasteL TutuP

I made my first pasta tutup today ^.^ Of course it's something to be happy about. I now have a new recipe to add to my book. My recipe book only holds recipes I've tried and I like. The ones I haven't are in another file. Anyway, don't except mine to be like the one Irene's mom makes. Come on, I'm an amateur in this. I found these 2 recipes online a couple of days ago and decided to try it out. Leaving some ingredients intact while omitting some out and adding others in. 2 recipes combine into one. This was how it looks like before it's baked :

And after it's baked :

LOL...I know, I know it's a little burnt at the sides. That's the reason why I think I should stay out of the kitchen as often as possible :P I was too lazy waiting for the cheese to turn into golden colors so I just have to be a smart ass and turn on the burner on top. Not much damage done though except if I am to sell this one, it's a no-no hahaha.... The taste however isn't a letdown. I would say I'm satisfied at how it turned out although I did make a mistake by using beef sausage instead of chicken sausage like Irene's mom did. Oh well, it's my 1st so there's room for improvement. And I was surprised that it's quite an easy thing to make. It isn't as troublesome as lasagna. With the recipe, it's hard even to fail. I guess it just takes a person with patience to make it perfect. And of course practice makes perfect too.

Makes me happy when I can cook something I love eating ^.^

Oh before I forgot, I watch "The Ten" last night on DVD.

Please spare yourself from the torture. Don't watch this movie! It's so freaking stupid! It's about God's ten commandments but each was made into a story. Sam kept saying it's a silly show and wondered why I still kept watching till more than half of the movie. The reason was plain. I was gullible enough to think that maybe, just maybe, there're some good parts lie within the movie itself. And I was so very wrong. The story got worse and worse. I was fooled with the fact that Jessica Alba, Paul Rudd, Winona Ryder and Liev Schreiber were in the movie. Thinking to myself "Wow...it must be interesting. So many famous celebs there." It's one of the worst movies I've ever watched. It will disgust u to your roots when Winona acts like a psycho there first falling in love and then making love to a ventriloquist's puppet while her hubby was just next door. Aaaarghhhh... I will never watch her movie in admiration again....eveeeerrrrr!!!!

Meeting Cin's Mom

Arrived in Pacific Place at 8.55am. It was then I realized that I was an hour early. Kidzania operates at 10am during public holidays. Still, I had to register first and the queue was already long. Sent the kids up to Kidzania and since Blitz Megaplex is still close, I went down looking for a place where I can sit down for a cup of coffee. Finally, decide to have breakfast in Pure Restaurant. They serve only organic food. I ordered Croissant Sandwich with Scrambled Egg.

It tastes like any normal croissant sandwich except that they really should change their chilli sauce coz it tastes so bland. I have to eat the croissant with my coffee in order to make it acceptable for my tummy to take in.

I guess what I actually did today is called 'restaurant hopping' LOL The next place I sat wasn't in a restaurant but close enough. It's the cafe of Blitz Megaplex. I ordered french fries and hot lemon tea. Sat there for hours till it was time to meet up Wiwin and Cin. Service sux there. Took them 15 mins to get my bill and it wasn't even that crowded.

We decided to eat in Crystal Jade and we were on waiting list. Luckily, we didn't have to wait that long. I like seeing Cin n his mom together. They are so affectionate. And Cin's mom..... hmmm how should I put it? When I look at her, it was like seeing my mom. The way she talks and the way she thinks.... I can't help noticing the resemblance there. And Cin's mom is such a warm person. I don't find any difficulty in communicating with her at all. Wiwin is one lucky girl. She has a really great future MIL there ;) I asked Cin to take a pic of us before we separated.

She looks really down-to-earth, don't u think? It was my pleasure meeting her ^.^ And Wiwin.... how come everytime I see her she gets prettier and prettier. It's just not fair!!! Hihihi.... Wiwin, remember her advice? *wink* *wink* Hihihihi....

Waited for the kids outside Y&Y Restaurant. We then dropped Damien in Plaza Indonesia. But first, we sat down in Excelso Cafe. Kids ordered the usual while I tried the new appetizer. I didn't remember the English name of it but it's called Tape Goreng in Indonesian. I love it but since no one helps me and I'm forced to eat the whole plate by myself, it gets kinda revolting hehehe...

Reached home at 5pm. Wiwin gave me this birthday present from Marks & Spencer.

My favorite smell in the whole wide world : Lavender!!! How did she know it's my fav? I must have voiced it out aloud in my blog last time. Thanks so much, Win.... Love it, love it, love it

About the Bak Kut Teh, well, it was a complete success!

I know the pic doesn't look appealing but it is delicious! Thanks to that Bak Kut Teh spice we bought in Carnation Kopi Tiam back in Penang. Of course out of the 3 times I made, this is the one closest to the original one. Probably it's because I've seen what they actually put in the soup and put it into practice. So, it doesn't mean as long as u got the spice, it's a no-fail kinda cooking.
