年糕

Image
I was telling my mother in law that I have craving for 年糕  but I was too busy and forgot to get one this year. She said grandma (her mum) place should still have some and grandma will always bought many pieces during Chinese New Year. She volunteer to help me to get 1 piece back and here is my 年糕。 So happy and I can make my 年糕dishes.... yippy.... Well, I didnt really follow any recipe to make fanciful dishes with it. I just simply coat it with egg and pan fry it, just like the way my mum always cooked for us when we were young. It was just as good as it was or because this 年糕 was well made and taste better. My sister did say the 年糕 taste better than those she got, well I guessed grandma was very nice to select the best among her 年糕 lots for me. The old lady always dotes us. Just like the 福 printed on the 年糕. 

篱笆和好汉, 和尚,水

Image
今天在一本书上看到这句话,觉的很有意思就 google 了它的意思。 “一个篱笆三个桩,一个好汉三个帮” 又有人说 “一个和尚挑水吃,二个和尚抬水吃,三个和尚没水吃” 1) “一个篱笆三个桩,一个好汉三个帮”说明了个人的成功离不开众人的帮助和支持, 充分强调了团结合作的重要作用。“三个和尚没水喝”,说明集体职责分工不明确,竞争机制不健全,奖惩机制不见效,成员之间不团结,团队精神无合力。   (2)我认为引申到工作当中,我们①要思考原因,寻找根源;②要合理用人,而且要组织协调好员工之间的工作关系,使其各尽其能。③ 要明确职责、按制奖惩。④要定编定岗、引进竞争机制。⑤要珍惜荣誉、激发合力。⑥要集体决策、共同商量。⑦遇到困难、共同克服。 (3)总之,我们应该从实际入手,发挥个人的主观能动性,调动他们的积极性。让他们自愿形成竞争意识,危机意识,才能更好的在工作中发挥各尽其才的作用。 A fence needs the support of three stakes. An able fellow needs the help of three other people.  This proverb points out that to fulfill any task, the support of others is necessary. Regardless how capable one is, one still needs the help of others.

Boogie Board 8.5 - LCD eWriter

Image
Just got this wonderful gadget for the kids. I am yet to show them the product and I think they will be delighted to receive it. I had came across this at Popular Bookstore and it cost like $80 when 1st launched and I did a search and found that it has dropped to $69.90. That is still expansive to get for the kids and I meant one for each. Thanks to my colleague who help to bring the boogie board in and for the same price I can buy two now. The only not so good is you cannot save what you draw and write on it. Shown to Janelle and she was delighted. She said she could save ink and paper now.  Julian got to see his boogie pad on Friday night.

吃吃喝喝

Making the Taiwan style stew meat sauce for the 1st time without knowing what it actually taste like. I have to ask my colleagues who went Taiwan and tasted before for advise. However, I overdose the sauce with rock sugar so it was kind of sweet to me but the kids like it very much cos of the sweetness.

True friend

It was very touching that a friend dropped me an email of concern after reading my blog. She extended her care not only to me but also my family. I believe if she is in Singapore she will have smsed me immediately. Thank you Ashley.

三千烦恼丝/思

我们家的小妹把三千烦恼丝/思给剪了!给她剪头发的理发师高兴得不得了,还问了小妹好几次是真的要把那头长发都给“做”了吗?

这样就好

Sometime receiving can be pressurizing. I would rather not seeing any surprises on my table. 大家都到了这个地步又有何必多此一舉.

Dinner with mum and 妹妹们

Image
We are happy for Mary who is brave enough to make the most difficult decision that would have ruined her. To let go is not the end of the world and I am glad she has finally come clear what she wants in her life. Let the man be a passerby than making him a destroyer. We blessed that she will find someone who she loves and loves her with respect. Tonight, we eat, drink, laughter and complain together. May we live to our fullest everyday.

Conversation with son

One leisure afternoon..... Son: Mummy, can you stay with me next time? Me: Staying with you? Son: Yes, when I need to work just like daddy then can you stay with me? Me: Why? Son: I need you to look after my kids just like what NaiNai is doing now. Me: Sure but I will scold the kids if they misbehave. Son: Huh. *Silent pause for 10 seconds* Son: Ok lor. If the kids are really naughty. Me: I will also canned naughty kids too. Are you sure you want me to take care? Son: HUH!!!! Can you only canned them when they are Primary 6? Me: Cannot! It will be too late to do so if the kids turn Primary 6 *Silent pause for another 10 seconds* Son: Ok lor. No choice. My dear son had started to plan far ahead. I hope he will still remembers his requests 20 years down the road.

To welcome wealth, there is a circulation to deposit money into your bank at specific timing. Everyone or Chinese must have got the news and all are queuing at the ATM deposit machine to put in money. I didnt manage to catch the timing but never mind as long as we all did the auspicious things.  I was at Bras Basah station after my lesson and it happen to have a ATM deposit with less queue so I deposit for myself and Law. Mission accomplished.  富贵跟着我们跑。
