After upgrading to S4, my iphone 4 is reset for the new owner - my daughter. Now my iphone4 is RIP. My dear daughter accidentally murder her new phone by giving it a quick dip in the toilet bowl without telling us. The phone 1st went kuku when the camera light refused to turn off then hubby realised the phone have difficulty charging. I found water vapour at the camera len. I asked if she dropped the phone in the water but she claimed she didnt. OK fine. I believe her. Hubby sensed that the phone need to go for health check to find out whats wrong so he quickly looked up forum for good recommendation services. We found this iphonefix from the forum and with good feedback so we went all the way to Waterloo street to find the shop. The guy is quite knowledgeable and advises us what are the possibility the phone could still be fixed. They will do a chemical cleaning which cost $20 to get rid of the water in the phone in order to check if the mo...

One day, Janelle smsed me if I saw her student card. I told her I didnt take it. After looking high and low for it and we can declared it was lost. That mean we have to make a new one for her. I asked her to find out how are we going to replace a new card from her teacher. She took back a small slip of instructions, and I took a look and realised we have to take a picture and pay a visit to one of the destinated interchange or Tiong Bahru MRT Station to get it done. I dragged my feet on this, as I seeing no urgency to use the student card since daddy is the one doing the fetching. Finally, I was so determined to get it settle now else we can wait for another months to come. We settled the photo taking, and I was thinking which Interchange to visit for to make the card by visiting the MRT website. I chanced upon the lost student card link and realised it can be done online. I didnt even need to go down at all. It is all click away. Happily I settled all the...

Every year we will visit Sagaramuda Temple to pay our respect and bring the kids for 浴佛。

A very nice park. Envy the residents facing the park.

 Dumplings time is here again as I will be very busy for the next two weekends I decided to make the dumplings earlier. Here there are many things to be prepared a day ahead. Soaking the beans overnight. Mum - My greatest help. without her I cant possiblity make the dumplings myself. Batches and batching. Steaming and steaming. the dumplings required 2 hrs of cooking. This tower steamer was brought over from mum place for such special event. A very good steamer that is as old as my youngest sister. 168 dumplings. We marked each year with a new records. Two colors strings to differential between chestnut and black eye bean dumplings. I still prefer the dumplings with black eye beans.

Got a new fry pan. I was tore between Happycall or K Art brand and decides to go for the latter cos of the discount. The non stick works and said it has 7 coating or layers. I tried cooking without oil n it is easy to fry. For such a price, it is definite worth it. Thumb up!

Took some shoots using the new phone. I like the different mode for shoots thaat save me the trouble to download APPS just for shooting. Thr nightshot is great too.

When I need to do waiting I prefer to hidr myself in the library but not all the places has one. I am wondering where I should go after my Cisco seminar which ends early to wait for Law. He can only reach Chinatown around 7pm and I cant be sitting in a cafe drinking tea from 4 to 7. Btw, I am just too full from all the good food offer during the seminar. I was just hoping if there will be a library for me to kill my time. The next thing, I looked up n found a sign pointing to the dirrction of Chinatown library. Wasnt I luckily? It is a new library and now I can relax and do my reading.

端午节  this year will falls on 12 June which happens to be Law's grandma 49th days. Can we celebrate? I dun think my PIL really follow the tradition so closely since no one 戴孝. Actually I dun really eat alot of dumplings and if you ask me why I care because the elderly loves my dumplings so I continue making them. I cant remember how many years I have being making dumplings. It must be my 3rd or 4th times.  Of course, it get better and better every year too. 粽子清单 三成肉 栗子 香菇 虾米 白眉豆 绿豆片 粽子叶 麻绳 Every year I have separate the dumpling with chestnut and those with green bean cos FIL has gout and he cannot take beans. Furthermore, my MIL side doesnt really like the green bean we added. I realised many of my friends also cannot take the green bean version. This year I will have to make more with chestnut.

There is a new injection into our small neighbourhood. A new cafe has just opened for business and it was such an interesting sight in our neighbourhood. They sell cakes, cookies, coffes and tea. They also conduct lessons at the little kitchen. I tried their peanut butter chocolate cake and lemon pound cake. It is not very sweet which is good but not particularly addicting taste so still thinking if I will go back for other of their cakes. The cafe has tables and chairs for customers to sit down, chit chatting and lim kopi. The ladies are very nice to offer free cookies for my kids. May be my kids look very cute, especially my attractive son. *ahem* https://www.facebook.com/common/invalid_request.php#!/mapleandmarket

树欲静而风不息，子欲教而亲不在 “The tree wishes for stillness but the wind will not cease; the child wishes to care for his parents, but they are already gone.”   取自《叫母亲太沉重》的序文 “当我老了” 给孩子的一封信 孩子：                                  当我老了，不再是原来的我，请理解我，对我有一点耐心。 当我把菜饭洒到衣服上时，当我忘记怎样系鞋带时，请不要责备我，想一想，当初我是如何手把手地教你这些事。 当我一遍又一遍地重复你早已听腻地话语时，请耐心地听我说，不要打断我。 你小时候，我不得不重复那个讲过千百遍的故事，直到你进入梦乡。 当我对新科技和新事物不知所措时，请不要嘲笑我。想一想，当初我是怎样耐心地回答你的每一个“为什么”。 当我的腿不听使唤，想走困难时，请伸出你年轻有力的手搀扶我，就像你小时候学习走路时，我 扶 你那样。 当我突然忘记我们谈话的主题，请给我一些时间回想，其实对我来说，谈话并不重要，只要你能在一旁听我说，我就很满足了。 当你看这老去的我，请不要悲伤。请理解和支持我。当初我引到你走上人生道路，如今请扶我一把，给我你的爱和耐心。 我爱你！ 母亲 Letter from a mother to her child My child, When I am old and not the person I used to be, please understand be patient with me.

There is a miscommunication and mum still thot there will be a dinner on Saturday. Cant bear to hear her disappointed voice so I gather the sibling to have it on Sunday instead. Having another round another week is tired me out fast. Luckily part are the kids are out of exam zone so all of us are pretty relax. It is time to party. Have not seen baby Martin for quite a while and he looked so different now. Baby Nelicia is getting use to our place this time. In a super mood and no crying, she was happily laughing, smiling and drooping her silivate on my floor. Food food... we had crabs, tiger prawns, soup, vegetable and cockle (hum). we ended with a nice plate of apple pie. So what is next? DUMPLINGs..

【女人是否能好命、在於是否挑對了男人】 一位朋友，覺著老婆越來越懶惰自私，脾氣也一天比一天暴躁。 因此，他們天天吵架，吵到最後，朋友有了外遇，結果很簡單，停妻 再娶。 他的前妻也很快就嫁了。 ... 因為沒有孩子，他們各自進入新的婚姻都比較順利和適應。 這朋友在婚後，先前的第三者變成了後妻，溫情也開始消失殆盡。 他的家裡，又開始跟以前一樣了，動不動就吵聲不斷，後妻連家務也 不做，還得朋友里里外外收拾。 朋友覺得自己命不夠好，找的老婆一個不如一個，為此天天唉聲嘆氣 。 直到有一天，偶然機會，在一個飯局上碰到前妻的現任丈夫。 兩個男人原本無話，客套寒暄後，幾杯酒下肚，他終於忍不住，詢問 人家的婚姻狀況。 那男人相貌普通， 說話卻擲地有聲：她是個很好的女人，特別溫柔體貼，家務全包， 還那麼疼我，對我的親戚朋友也是該豪爽就豪爽，該關心就關心。 這樣的女人，真是不多了。 朋友說，當時就覺得腦袋“嗡”地一下，心說，她有那麼好？ 自己怎麼就沒發覺呢？ 這些話，是他要面子糊弄我吧？ 不久之後，巧的很，朋友在超市買東西，，遠遠看見前妻與她的現任 丈夫。 朋友躲在一邊觀察良久，終於確認， 他們很幸福。那種幸福，刻在前妻的如花笑顏裡，藏在她身邊那個男 人的溫情擁抱裡。 看來老婆是天使還是巫婆，全靠男人來塑造。 女人嫁給好男人，嫁的那刻，是下了決心跟男人好好過日子的。 她的選擇會讓她有得到也有失落，她可能因此而永遠錯過了更好更愛 她的人， 而如果她做出這樣的奉獻後男人還不珍惜她，把她當老媽子使喚，那 女人就真變成老媽子了。 所以， 要想讓老婆永遠是天使，就要先把她當天使來對待，即使她的長相和 脾氣不像天使， 但你真把她當了天使，她就會給自己天使的性情，慢慢變成天使。 沒有天生的巫婆，只有後天的黃臉婆。 一個對女人不尊重的男人，一個不懂女人的男人，他看不見天使，只 能碰上巫婆。 雖然在婚姻中，忍耐是一種美德，但 如果有愛，就不存在忍耐，而只 有寬容 。 當你看著自己的女人橫豎不順眼時，她便也不在乎做巫婆了。 所以，如果想要一個天使女人，就先把她當天使供在心裡吧。 因為， 這世界上每一個被叫做“老婆”的女人，都有成為天使的潛質 。 你會發現，原來，你態度的轉變，可以造就出一個真正的天使。 這是創造，也是維護，比忍耐更容易做到。 其實老婆是什麼？ 從前的路人.... 以前的朋友.... ...

As I saw my friend message on my facebook that my estate had more than 10 cases of dengue and there were 2 cases in Cassia.  This is scary and I have since diligently checking out any stagnant water in the house or around my place. The fear has never been so great to be bitten by mossie now.

This is such an interesting kitchenware. After the Philip came out with the Airfryer that make the world turn head that frying does not required oil. Here the Korean came out with anther product that is like a robot that has more functions in it.

Hubby said he wanted to celebrate his mother bday at home although we had already done one round with mother in law at the restaurant. We decided to do one more on her actual day. It was real feast for the night and this time I adopted less frying. Mostly boiled and grill. A table of yummy food. I decided that we boiled te crab instead of cooking it will any sauce. Purposely got the small crabs so everyone got to have a whole crab and more than 1 crab each. Coca Cola chicken. I braised but it stick to my pot. Lesson learnt but everyone said the dish was really good. Foo chow fish maw soup. It was sweet and sour, tangy soup thats open up your platet. I had finally master this dish, this was my 2nd time making it. 1st time did not turn up that well. In order to give the sour taste, I nearly used up the whole bottle of rice vinegar. Law's grandma like this dish very much and it is her 1st time tasted this dish made by me. Some doesnt really like the strong smell ...
