Gong Xi Fa Chai on the Ox year. The kids woke up at 7:30am despite that they all slept ard 11pm last nite. So weird, they never seem to be able to wake up in time for school. I wished them Happy New Year once they woke up. hahaha.. I heat up the Ham and made poached eggs as breakfast. Using the Mickey & Minnie cutter to shape the bread for the kids. Julian finshed all the bread as he find it so interested to munch on the mickey ears. Janelle loves her mushroom ham that we got from Cold Storage (she is not a ham lover but as long as there is mushroom she will take it). I brot out the flowers so she could help me to deco it. 1st stop - Great Granny place. We got dressed up and head to the nice great granny place ard 1pm and met Law's cousin along the way. This is the only time all the cousins and relatives will gathered at the 4 room flat of great granny house. It was really cramped but none really mind, the guys will update their status at works while the mummies will chit chat ...

This year we have reunion dinner at IL place on the Sat and my mum place at Sunday. I was fortunate as both parents co-ordinate the timing well and so we get to meet each side of the family without rushing thru the meal. MIL prepared steamboat for reunion with all the usual ingredients of prawn, meat, fish, fishball and "Yan Jiao" from her friends. We stayed around for a while after the dinner and head back home. My mum prepared dishes instead as she find steamboat quite boring and she was quite sick of having steamboat. hahaha... So we digged into my mum specialities like her Spicy sour fish Maw soup, Fuzhuo fish ball soup etc etc... yummy... Then a short session of poker game which I lost $30 immediately for being too greedy. Po Po also prepared the vegetarian style of Lou Hei this year. U can see that Janelle is very keen to help out in anyway. Spotted the little arm stretching out to the plate. That is my Julian, this is his 1st time doing Lou Hei himself. He was just too...

I have promised Janelle I bake something for her to bring to childcare for CNY celebration. I have cake in mind but Janelle requested for cookies instead. Well, I think the kids will prefer cookies than cake, some may not even like my cake. So we fetched the kids from MIL place and back home for some baking session. To be truthful, I didnt like Janelle coming into the kitchen while I was cooking or baking. I find an extra hands do not help much infact making me even busier but this time I wanted her to be part of it and be proud of the end product. I let her have a test of my whisking machine, I get her to whisk the butter, sugar and egg. She seemed to have fun doing it, and I will be her helper pouring in the ingredient for the cookies. To make the cookies more nutrious I added in Oatmeal, ground almound, prune and of course chocolate chip and chocolate rice. Julian supposed to be ard helping too but he soon complained of tireness and I sent him to bed and left the mother and the dau...

Has being doing alot of baking on weekends. I have managed to bake a Prune butter cake for Vivien when I visited her on Friday nite. Luckily the prune cake turned out well and I am glad the family like it. She suggested I tried chocolate next time. hahaha.. I went to get fresh coconut to squeeze out coconut milk to make the kueh Bangkits. This time I used the Saga flour instead. Well, the result was good cos the biscuit really melted in the mouth but I dun like the taste the sago flour. I still find tapoica flour give a better fragnant but was very tricky to work with tapoica flour. Well, I will not be trying to make anymore kueh Bangkits since my sister fly my kite and didnt turn out to help me. I still managed to clear up the 600g of saga flour and make two small boxes of kueh Bangkits. Well, my love letter was running low so i make more for my mum and MIL. I have no intention to save anything for myself. All these making has make me lost the craving for CNY goodies. I make another a...

U dun even know wat I give u. Prune cake n mandarin orange cake. He replied. Law: I didnt eat any cake. They told me instead. I dun know should I be sad or happy after reading his smses.

Yes....none of us have really recovered. I was so sick of going to doctor and taking medicine. Both Law and I decided to visit a neighbourhood doctor for a change to seek 2nd opinion. The usual doctor kept giving us the same kind of medicine and we didnt seem to get any better. So we decided to check out Dr Keith Ong from NorthEast Clinic. We were glad we made this choice. Dr Keith told me I need a better antibotic to get well. (ok a better one which mean i need to pay more). Yes, ZITHROMAX from Pfizer which cost $40 a box of 6 pills but the effect can last me for 7 days once I finished all of them. Then there are Telfast-D, Codeine Phosphate, Celebrex, Fenfedrin and Prednisolone. He actually suggesting to give me a jab of strong antibotics but I decline, told him to let me try out the oral 1st. Jab will be the last resort. As for Law, he gave him some migrine medicine that contain a small amount of aspirin, as he is allergy to aspirin Dr Keith wanted him to take note if he has very ba...
